Puerto Rico and Las Vegas Immigration Lawyers

Immigrants face numerous challenges when trying to navigate the complex U.S. immigration system. Whether pursuing an application for family-based immigration or employment-based immigration or trying to defend a removal/deportation case, often face the double challenge of legal complexities and comprehension issues.

From our bases in Las Vegas and Puerto Rico, the immigration lawyers at the Law Offices of Ariadne Berrios, LLC, help clients face immigration challenges with more surety and confidence — keeping families united and opening up opportunities to live and work legally in the U.S.

U.S. Federal Immigration Laws

Our deep knowledge of federal immigration laws and policies — and how they work in practice — helps us help our clients navigate difficulties even with changing times and administrations.

We help individuals and families understand their rights and options under U.S. immigration law and when dealing with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)

Immigration in the United States is enforced at the federal level. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) is the primary law governing immigration.

This legislation establishes the rules for obtaining visas, green cards, and citizenship, and for deportation proceedings. It includes the following provisions:

• Family-Based Immigration (INA § 201-204): Defines the eligibility for family-sponsored visas, including petitions for spouses, children, parents, and siblings.
• Employment-Based Immigration (INA § 203): Outlines the requirements for work visas and employment-based green cards.
• Deportation and Removal (INA § 237-240): Lists the grounds for deportation and the legal protections available to non-citizens.
• Asylum and Refugee Protections (INA § 208): Establishes the process for seeking asylum in the U.S. and protections for individuals fleeing persecution.

Laws are constantly evolving according to policy changes, which affect visa applications with the USCIS, waivers and appeals, asylum and humanitarian relief, and cases involving immigrants already in the U.S., such as removal proceedings.

Our team stays up to date with these changes to provide the most relevant legal strategies for clients.

Immigration Lawyers in Las Vegas, Puerto Rico & Beyond

The Law Offices of Ariadne Berrios, LLC represents clients nationwide and around the world — no matter where you are located. While our offices in Puerto Rico and Las Vegas offer convenient, local access to our services, we assist families, individuals, and businesses across the U.S. and abroad with the same level of care and commitment.

Roughly one-third of the population of Las Vegas is Hispanic. Many Spanish speakers here require help with immigration.

We have an in-depth understanding of the legal processes within the local USCIS offices and the immigration courts, with an established network of contacts to help with the most complex immigration cases.

Puerto Rico’s status as a U.S. territory provides a unique immigration landscape that differs from that of the mainland. Unlike U.S. states, there are no state immigration laws — federal immigration laws apply uniformly across the island. Our law firm provides comprehensive immigration legal services to Spanish-speaking individuals and families in Puerto Rico: knowledgeable and compassionate representation both in cases with the local USCIS Field Office in San Juan, which processes immigration applications such as green cards, naturalization, and work permits, and at the Immigration Court in Guaynabo.
