US Visa Legal Referral: Our Miami Partner

IIILEX is not a US immigration firm. For visa petitions and USCIS procedures we route the client to our Miami-based licensed immigration partner, while we keep ownership of the Italian fiscal and corporate side.

Immigration and US visa work is handled by a trusted external attorney specialized in US immigration law, coordinated by IIILEX.

What problem we solve: When you need a US-licensed immigration attorney

  • E-2 / E-1 investor and treaty trader visas
  • L-1 intra-company transfers from an Italian parent
  • EB-5 investor green card
  • O-1 extraordinary ability and EB-1/EB-2 NIW
  • Family-based green card and naturalization
  • USCIS Requests for Evidence (RFE) and litigation

What you receive: How the referral works

  • Initial scoping call with IIILEX to qualify the visa path and identify Italian-side implications
  • Warm introduction to our Miami-based immigration attorney partner — licensed and specialized in US immigration law
  • IIILEX retains responsibility for the Italian tax & corporate layer (residency exit, Quadro RW, LLC structure, treaty positioning)
  • Coordinated workflow between the immigration attorney, IIILEX, and the client's existing Italian advisors
  • Single point of contact via IIILEX for the Italy-side; direct engagement letter with the immigration partner for the US visa work

Who this is for: Who it's for

  • Italian entrepreneurs planning to relocate to the US on an E-2 or L-1 visa
  • Italian families pursuing a green card path through investment or family ties
  • Italian professionals evaluating O-1 / EB-1 / EB-2 NIW

Investment: Engagement

The IIILEX scoping call is part of the standard 45-minute consultation ($250). The fee for the immigration work is quoted directly by the partner attorney based on visa type and complexity. IIILEX coordinates but does not mark up the partner's fee.

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't IIILEX file the visa directly?

USCIS petitions and US immigration practice require an attorney licensed in the United States. IIILEX's qualifications are Italian (Avvocato, Dottore Commercialista, Revisore Legale). We only handle the Italian fiscal and corporate side, and we coordinate with a US-licensed immigration partner for the visa filing itself.

Who is the Miami partner?

A Miami-based US-licensed attorney specialized in immigration law. Full firm details and direct contact information are provided to the client during the scoping call.

Can I use my own immigration attorney?

Absolutely. If you already have a trusted US immigration attorney, IIILEX coordinates directly with them on the Italian fiscal and corporate side without imposing the referral.
