Attorney Andrea Montavon-McKillip is prepared to handle a broad range of cases in the field of immigration law, including but not limited to the following:
Asylum
If you are fleeing your home country due to persecution based on your race, nationality, religion, social group membership, or political beliefs, you may be able to apply for asylum in the United States. You must begin the asylum application process within one year of entering the country. Talk to Attorney Andrea Montavon-McKillip about your options as soon as possible.
Green Cards
A green card is an identification document that signifies lawful permanent residency. In order to become a citizen of the United States, you must maintain lawful permanent resident status for a certain period of time. The green card allows you to live and work in the United States and to pursue citizenship through naturalization if you choose to do so. Attorney Montavon-McKillip may be able to help you pursue your citizenship.
Professional Visas
The United States government offers a limited number of business visas each year. Whether you wish to work in the United States on a temporary basis or you have long-term goals in mind, the Broward County immigration lawyer at Peregrine Law, P.A. can help you choose the right visa and pursue your professional goals in this country.
Investor Visas
The EB-5 immigrant investor visa program allows foreign nationals who are interested in financially supporting business ventures in the United States to obtain legal resident status. The E-1 treaty trader visa and E-2 treaty investor visa are non-immigrant visas for investors. Contact Attorney Montavon-McKillip to learn more about these options and how to pursue your investment goals in the United States.
Deportation Defense
