Frequently Asked Questions
How long do immigration cases take in Miami?
Timelines depend heavily on case type and the current Miami Immigration Court backlog. Because Miami accounts for nearly 10% of all U.S. immigration court cases, hearings can stretch across years. However, USCIS processing times for routine family petitions are separate from court timelines and may move faster.
How much does an immigration attorney cost?
Most Miami-area immigration firms charge flat fees for discrete filings. For example, a family-based green card package and a naturalization application each carry predictable fee schedules. Specifically, removal defense is typically billed on tiered retainers that depend on whether the respondent is detained.
Where are Homestead immigration cases heard?
Removal proceedings for Homestead residents are heard at the Miami Immigration Court. USCIS interviews for adjustment and naturalization are conducted at the Miami Field Office. In addition, appeals route to the Board of Immigration Appeals in Falls Church, Virginia.
