Immigration help at every step of your journey

From the first visa to citizenship, Emel Ersan represents clients across Florida and the country. Here's how she can help your family.

Case File - Green Cards

Green Cards

Permanent residence (the green card) is often the difference between temporary status and a life you can actually build in the United States. I prepare and file family and employment-based green card petitions, respond to requests for evidence, and guide you through adjustment of status and consular processing from start to approval.

  • Family-based petitions (I-130) for spouses, parents, and children
  • Adjustment of status and consular processing
  • Responding to RFEs and notices of intent to deny
  • Employment-based permanent residence

Case File - Marriage & Fiancé Visas

Marriage & Fiancé Visas

Whether you are engaged to someone abroad or married to a U.S. citizen or green card holder, I handle the petitions, interviews, and evidence that prove your relationship is real; and get you and your spouse on the same soil.

  • K-1 fiancé visa petitions
  • Spousal green cards for U.S. citizen and LPR sponsors
  • Interview preparation and RFE responses
  • Cases where the marriage is challenged

Case File - Work Visas

Work Visas

From the E-2 investor visa that let me help many clients open or buy businesses in Tampa, to H-1B and L-1 transfers, I help employers and employees get lawful work status, and keep it.

  • E-2 treaty investor visas
  • H-1B specialty occupation visas
  • L-1 intracompany transfers
  • Work permit (EAD) applications

Case File - Citizenship & Naturalization

Citizenship & Naturalization

Naturalization is the proudest step of the immigration process. I prepare N-400 applications, get you ready for the civics and English interview, and handle the tricky cases: criminal history, lengthy absences, or doubts about good moral character.

  • N-400 naturalization applications
  • Citizenship interview and civics test prep
  • Good moral character evaluations
  • Certificate of citizenship for children

Case File - Removal Defense

Removal Defense

If you or a loved one is facing deportation, there is often more fight in the case than people assume. I represent clients in removal proceedings, seek cancellation of removal and other relief, and argue to keep families together in immigration court.

  • Cancellation of removal
  • Bonds and release from detention
  • Asylum and withholding of removal
  • Appeals before the BIA

Case File - Waivers

Waivers

A prior overstay, a criminal conviction, or an immigration violation can bar you from entering or staying in the U.S. I prepare waiver applications that ask the government for forgiveness, and win second chances for clients.

  • I-601 / I-601A waivers for unlawful presence
  • I-212 applications for permission to reapply
  • Waivers for criminal grounds of inadmissibility
  • Extreme hardship documentation
