Immigration Lawyer in Orlando, Florida

Frequently asked questions

Does Pinho Law handle marriage-based green cards (adjustment of status)?

Yes. Marriage-based green cards are one of Pinho Law's core practice areas. We handle the full process — the I-130 petition and the I-485 adjustment of status when you are already in the U.S., or consular processing when the spouse is abroad — including the relationship evidence package and interview preparation.

How long does a marriage-based green card take?

Timelines vary by USCIS service center and by your specific case. In 2026, adjustment of status (I-485) based on marriage to a U.S. citizen typically takes 12 to 18 months until the interview/decision; consular cases follow the Visa Bulletin calendar. In your consultation, we map out a realistic timeline for your situation — with no promises of outcome.

How much does an immigration case cost at Pinho Law?

We work with flat legal fees (a retainer) set by case type, separate from the government's USCIS filing fees. The exact amount is given in your consultation, once we understand your case. We don't charge for generic 'packages' — the quote is specific to your situation.

Can I apply for U.S. citizenship (N-400)? When?

In general, you can apply for naturalization (N-400) after 5 years as a permanent resident, or 3 years if you are married to a U.S. citizen and living together. Pinho Law handles the N-400 from start to interview, including preparation for the civics and English test.

My I-130 is already approved — can you continue the process?

Yes. If your I-130 petition is already approved, we handle the next step — adjustment of status (I-485) in the U.S. or consular processing — and prepare you for the final interview.

Do you handle removing green card conditions (I-751)?

Yes. For those who received the 2-year conditional green card through marriage, we prepare the I-751 petition to remove conditions, with the body of evidence showing a good-faith marriage.

Does Pinho Law serve clients in Portuguese?

Yes. Attorney Izi Pinho and the team serve clients in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. The entire process can be handled in Portuguese, from first contact through approval.

Does Pinho Law serve my city in the Orlando area?

Yes. Beyond Orlando, we serve the entire Greater Orlando area — including Kissimmee, Winter Garden, Winter Park, Sanford, Lake Mary, Clermont, St. Cloud, Apopka, and other cities across Orange, Seminole, Osceola, and Lake counties. Initial contact is by WhatsApp, so distance is not an obstacle.

How do I schedule a consultation with Pinho Law?

The fastest way is by WhatsApp at +1 (407) 385-4144. You briefly describe your case, the team confirms the right type of consultation, and schedules a time with Attorney Izi. The consultation is a dedicated legal session (it is not free) and you leave with clear next steps.

I have a company or want to open a business in the U.S. — can you help?

Yes. Beyond family immigration, Pinho Law has a boutique Business Counsel arm: U.S. business structuring, cross-border tax compliance (5471/5472/1120), foreign-owned LLCs, asset protection, and E-2 for Brazilians with European citizenship (Portugal/Italy/Spain). It's long-term work, focused on protecting what you've already built.
