Immigration to the United States: how Miami Soluções can help
What Miami Soluções does — and what is done by licensed attorneys
Immigration to the United States is an area of American law, and individualized legal advice — assessing a specific case, defining the right strategy, representing someone before USCIS or a consulate — can only be done by a licensed attorney. Miami Soluções is not a law firm.
What we do: general guidance on how the different immigration paths work, so you arrive at your conversation with an attorney already understanding the landscape, and connection with licensed partner attorneys when your case requires legal assessment. Think of Miami Soluções as the first step — organized and in Portuguese — before the stage that legally requires an attorney.
Main immigration paths
There are dozens of visa and residency categories in the United States, each with its own requirements. Below are the paths most relevant to the clients we serve, with content already available. Not every path described below applies to everyone — eligibility depends on factors specific to each person.
EB-2 NIW
A Green Card based on professional merit, without a sponsor requirement.
L-1 Visa
For those who already have a company in Brazil and want to open a US branch.
Green Card & Family
Paths through marriage or a qualifying family relationship.
Other categories — including work visas, investor visas, and other residency options — are under review for future publication as content is reviewed. If your situation isn't described above, talk to us to understand your options.
Does opening a company grant a visa?
Not automatically. Having a company in the US doesn't, by itself, grant a visa, work authorization, Green Card or citizenship — these are separate legal matters. There are categories that connect to business activity, like the L-1 visa, but each has its own requirements that go beyond simply being a member of a company.

How the eligibility assessment works
The process starts with a conversation to understand your goal and current situation. When the case involves a legal decision — for example, which visa category to pursue, or how to structure a petition — we refer you to a licensed partner attorney, who performs the individualized assessment of your case. Miami Soluções does not guarantee eligibility or the outcome of any immigration process — that depends on the analysis of your specific case by a qualified professional.
