Florida Immigration guides

All law guides →

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Applying for Asylum from Florida

Asylum is governed by federal law but cases are heard in the immigration court closest to where the applicant lives. Miami, Orlando, Krome (detained) Immigration Courts. Heavy asylum docket due to Cuban, Haitian, Venezuelan, and Central American populations.

Cancellation of Removal in Florida

Florida immigrants in removal proceedings may qualify for cancellation of removal — relief that allows long-term residents (LPRs and certain non-LPRs) to avoid deportation and obtain green cards.

U.S. Citizenship and Naturalization from Florida

Naturalization is governed by federal immigration law. Florida applicants attend interviews at the local USCIS field office. Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Hialeah Field Offices.

DACA + Dreamers in Florida

Florida DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) provides 2-year deferred action + work authorization for eligible Dreamers — but program faces ongoing legal challenges + limited to current recipients (no new applicants since 2021).

Deportation Defense in Florida

Deportation ("removal") proceedings are governed by federal law, but the immigration court that hears your case is determined by where you live or are detained. Miami ERO Field Office; detention at Krome, Broward, Glades.

EB-5 Investor Visa in Florida

Florida EB-5 investor visa requires $1.05M (or $800K in TEA) investment creating 10 full-time U.S. jobs — direct investment or through Regional Center. Reauthorized in 2022 with new integrity rules.

Employment-Based Green Cards in Florida

Florida employment-based green cards (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3) require employer sponsorship via PERM labor certification + immigrant petition + adjustment of status — country-specific backlogs significant.

F-1 Student Visa in Florida

Florida F-1 international students must maintain full-time enrollment, limit work to specific exceptions (CPT/OPT), keep I-20 valid, and apply for OPT before graduation for legal work authorization.

Green Card Process from Florida

Green-card (lawful permanent resident) processing is governed by federal immigration law, but applicants in Florida are interviewed at the local USCIS Field Office. Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Hialeah Field Offices.

H-1B Specialty-Occupation Visa in Florida

Florida employers + foreign workers use H-1B visas for specialty occupations — capped at 85,000/year, lottery-allocated, valid 3+3 years, with path to green card via PERM.

K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa in Florida

Florida K-1 fiancé(e) visa allows foreign fiancé to enter US for 90 days to marry US citizen — must marry within 90 days, then apply for adjustment of status to green card.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in Florida

Florida immigrants from designated countries can apply for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) — temporary protection from removal + work authorization, but program subject to ongoing political + legal challenges.
