PRACTICE AREAS
Our Immigration Law Practice Areas
The full immigration spectrum, under one roof.
Most people do not need "an immigration lawyer" in the abstract. They need the right answer to one specific situation: a marriage visa, a work permit, a citizenship application, a removal hearing. Delgado Purdy Law covers all of it. Twelve practice areas, four languages, and offices in Boynton Beach, Lake Worth, and Atlanta. Whatever your case is, it lives inside one of the areas below.
WHERE TO START
One firm for the whole immigration journey.
An immigration law firm is only as useful as its range. A family that starts with a fiancé visa often ends with a naturalization petition years later. A business that sponsors one worker on an H-1B may need an EB-5 investor visa for its owner. When your case changes shape (and immigration cases almost always do), you should not have to change firms. Below are the twelve areas our attorneys practice, from the first family petition to the appellate brief. Choose the one that matches your situation, or contact us and we will point you to it.
TWELVE PRACTICE AREAS
Choose the area that fits your case.
Family & Marriage Immigration
Marriage green cards, K-1 fiancé visas, and petitions for spouses, parents, children, and siblings, plus removal of conditions on a two-year card. This is the work of keeping families in the same country, often the first immigration case a family ever files.
Learn about family & marriage visasCitizenship & Naturalization
N-400 naturalization, citizenship through parents, derivative and automatic citizenship for children, and the three-year rule for spouses of US citizens. The last step in the journey, and the one where a single mistake on good moral character can cost years.
Learn about citizenshipGreen Cards & Permanent Residency
Every path to a green card in one place (family, employment, investor, and humanitarian), plus the choice between adjustment of status and consular processing. Start here if you know you want permanent residency but are not yet sure which road gets you there.
Explore green card pathsWork Visas (H-1B, L-1, O-1, TN)
Specialty occupation, intracompany transfer, extraordinary ability, and USMCA professional visas. Strategic representation for employees who need status and the employers who sponsor them, with an eye on the eventual path from a temporary work visa to a green card.
See work visa optionsEmployment Green Cards (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3, NIW)
Permanent residency through employment: PERM labor certification, EB-1A for extraordinary ability, and the EB-2 national interest waiver that lets qualified professionals self-petition. The immigrant side of employment immigration, distinct from temporary work visas.
Employment green card guidanceInvestor Visas (EB-5, E-2)
EB-5 regional center and direct investment for permanent residency through investment, and the E-2 treaty investor visa for entrepreneurs buying or building a US business. High-stakes, document-heavy cases where senior counsel from day one matters.
Investor visa counselFederal Litigation
Writ of mandamus for cases the government has stalled, APA lawsuits against unlawful denials, habeas corpus for unlawful detention, and the BIA appeals and Petitions for Review that follow. Led personally by a founding partner who has argued before the Florida Third and Fourth District Courts of Appeal. The work almost no other firm in this market advertises.
Federal litigationStudent Visas (F-1, OPT, CPT)
F-1 status maintenance, school transfers, OPT and CPT work authorization, M-1 vocational study, and change of status after graduation. Small paperwork errors end student status fast, so getting the details right is the whole job here.
Student visa helpDACA & Dreamers
DACA renewals, advance parole for travel, and honest counsel on the long-term options when the law allows them. This is fast-moving, high-anxiety territory, and we keep clients current on where the program actually stands.
DACA representationAsylum
Affirmative and defensive asylum, credible fear interviews, and cases pressed against the one-year filing deadline. Quiet, careful work for people who left everything to be safe, where the record you build early decides the outcome.
Asylum representationDeportation Defense
Master calendar and individual hearings, bond hearings, cancellation of removal, motions to reopen, and appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals. When a family faces separation, this is the practice area that stands between them and it. We keep families together.
Deportation defenseHumanitarian Immigration (U, VAWA, TPS)
U visas for crime victims, VAWA self-petitions for abused spouses and children, Temporary Protected Status, Cuban Adjustment Act cases, and criminal-history waivers. Protection-based relief for people the immigration system was built, in part, to shelter.
Humanitarian protectionWHY IT MATTERS
The range is the point.
Twelve practice areas. An attorney on every case.
You work directly with one of our immigration attorneys, not a paralegal with attorney review at the end. Across all twelve practice areas, the person on your file is a lawyer.
Four languages. No translation gap.
English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French, all spoken natively by the attorneys. Your case is told in the language you trust to tell it, whichever area of law it falls under.
Full spectrum. One firm.
Family, business, investor, humanitarian, and appellate work under one roof. When your case changes shape, as immigration cases do, you do not have to change firms.
Very few immigration attorneys cover this entire range, and fewer still do it in four languages across two states, which is exactly why we built the firm this way.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
Tell us your situation. We will tell you which door you are standing at.
If you are not sure which of these practice areas fits your case, that is a normal place to start. Schedule a consultation and we will look at your situation, tell you which area of immigration law it falls under, and walk you through the real timeline and the real cost before you commit to anything.
