A green card through adjustment of status means filing Form I-485 with USCIS. Most applicants must also send Form I-693, the medical exam form from a USCIS-designated civil surgeon. Many Tampa applicants handle this alone. Some want a lawyer's help.

A lawyer can help when the case is not simple: past visa problems, a criminal record, a prior denial, or removal proceedings. An immigration lawyer is not required for a green card. If your case is routine, you may not need one. If something in your history worries you, a short consult can help you decide.

How we ranked these immigration lawyers

We collected immigration lawyer results from Google Maps around Tampa and removed government offices and unrelated businesses. Each listing gets a score based on its Google rating, adjusted for the number of reviews so a few 5-star reviews do not outrank hundreds of strong ones. Listings that also show up in Google's top results get a small boost. Paid placements are always labeled "Sponsored" and never change the ranked list. Read our editorial policy.

Immigration lawyers in Tampa: FAQs

Do I need an immigration lawyer for a green card in Tampa?

Not always. Many routine family and employment cases are filed without a lawyer. A lawyer can be useful if you have a past visa problem, a criminal record, a prior denial, or a case in removal proceedings. Only you and your lawyer can decide what fits your case.

How do I check that a Tampa immigration lawyer can take my case?

Start with the Florida Bar. It has a member search and a way to check for discipline. Ask about the lawyer's focus and who will handle your file. Ask for a written agreement before you pay. A first call is a good time to ask how they would approach your case.

What should I bring to a first meeting with an immigration lawyer in Tampa?

Bring your passport, any visa or entry documents, prior USCIS notices and letters, court papers, and a short list of your questions. If you have a medical exam form or vaccination records, bring copies. Clear details help the lawyer tell you what is realistic for your case.
