An H-1B is a temporary, nonimmigrant visa issued to foreign nationals in specialized fields that typically require a minimum of a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent in experience and skills. This visa is mainly used by professionals in the IT, financial, engineering, and medical fields. The annual H-1B cap is 85,000 visas, with 65,000 allocated for bachelor’s degree holders and 20,000 for those with advanced degrees. H-1B visas are initially valid for three years but can be extended for up to six years. Since they are dual-intent visas, holders may pursue permanent residency while maintaining H-1B status. Spouses and children under 21 can also obtain H-4 visas as dependents of the H-1B holder.

I highly recommend John Estes to anyone looking for an immigration attorney. Throughout my case, John was incredibly attentive, responsive, and supportive. He always took the time to answer my questions thoroughly and made sure I understood every step of the process. What I appreciated most was his thoughtful guidance and strategic approach. He consistently looked for the best path forward and provided well-reasoned advice that gave my case the strongest possible chance of success.
I’m happy to say that my case was successfully approved, and I truly believe John’s knowledge, professionalism, and dedication played an important role throughout the process. Whenever I had questions or concerns, John was always available, patient, and genuinely committed to helping me. He made what could have been a very stressful experience much easier to navigate.
I also want to recognize the entire team at the firm. Every representative I interacted with was professional, kind, and incredibly responsive. Their communication was always prompt, and I truly felt supported throughout the entire process. I’m incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend John Estes and his team to anyone looking for experienced, trustworthy, and dedicated immigration attorneys.

I cannot say enough good things about US Immigration & Law Counsel. For the past three years they have been a beacon of hope in my Immigration Journey. I was on TPS (El Salvadoran Native) and they helped me through every EAD and TPS renewals on time with care. Now after 36 years and (3 years of hiring her team) I can now say with Joy and Tears IM A LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENT ( Green Card Holder). My Dream is to become a Citizen since I have been here all my life. I was in a place where everything felt unsure and hopeless, especially During this Administration, But Saman and her Amazing team proved that you can do anything and they NEVER GAVE UP! I am so Grateful to Mrs. Saman, Jesus, Marcel, Marielba, Marisol, Celina, Maribel, Susana, Jessi, and so many more who Ive spoken to, worked with and emailed. THAnkyou for sticking by my side at every step of this journey, especially during my recent appointment with the USCIS at my Interview Hearing. I feel so Happy and words can't even begin to express my gratitude and appreciation for this firm. Its all thanks to them and there hard work I was able to get to where Im at now. Now my Citizenship! lol If you ever need a Law firm that would fight for you and listen to you and make your dreams reality, this is the team to trust. I am forever Grateful.
Sincerely Ana and Steven J.

I couldn’t have made a better choice with Florida Immigration Law Council Services . For someone like my self who had a previous lawyer and living in CA,I Basically wasted 8 years and spent thousands of dollars to experience a nightmare and literally I lost hope. Thats until I ran across there page on Instagram and made that call for that consultation. Not only was Saman very thorough, but also very friendly and knowledgeable and was able to assist me on my case. I can swear to you her team completely gave me my hope back. I know everyones cases are different, but considering during the time I hired her team I have gotten nothing but results. Recently been able to be approved for something I waited my whole life on, Theres not even enough room or amount of words I can say to describe how grateful I am for her and everyone there. If you are looking for someone to rely on it’s definitely the Florida Law Council Firm. NO DOUBT.
I was very satisfied about my experience with U.S Immigration Law Counsel. I had originally started my immigration process in 2018 with a different lawyer who from my experience only scammed me out of money. I finally decided it was time to look for another lawyer. I switched over last year and within a year I was able to get my approval for my Green Card. Everyone I spoke to was always very cordial & professional. They responded to any concerns I had same day. Overall my experience was very good. If you are looking for a reliable immigration lawyer this is the place to go.
My husband’s immigration case has been a long, complicated journey, and I want to take the time to sincerely thank USLC for all of their hard work, dedication, and patience throughout the process.
I only wish I had found USLC from the very beginning when we first started my husband’s adjustment of status (AOS) case. Even so, I am incredibly grateful that they are now handling his case. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care have made such a difference. They are always attentive, keep us informed, and even make follow-up calls, which truly shows how much they care about their clients.
A special thank you to Saman, Natalia, Keyla, and now Nicholas for everything you have done and continue to do for my husband’s case. Your support, compassion, and commitment mean more than words can express.
Thank you for fighting for our family and for so many other families. We are truly grateful for all that you do.
