Biography

Ms. Patricia C. Wall is an energetic and passionate attorney. She received her law degree in June 2003 from the Interamerican University School of Law. In May 2004, after passing her bar exam and being admitted to practice law by the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, she started working for a former INS prosecutor, giving her a vast understanding and experience with US immigration and nationality laws.When it comes to helping, guiding, and counseling clients from all walks of life and more than 15 countries, Attorney Wall attributes her success to her multicultural education, multilingual background, and extensive immigration experience. She has been an avid advocate of foreign nationals’ rights and their families in and outside the US. On April 8, 2019, Attorney Wall was awarded by the Coral Gables Police Department the “Justice for All Award” for her outstanding contribution representing and advocating for victims of crimes through her pro-bono legal work. She worked to give victims a voice in the criminal justice system and through the US immigration laws, providing much-needed services to survivors in need. This nomination was part of the National Victim’s Rights Week celebrated every year in collaboration with the US Department of Justice through the Office of Justice Programs.Attorney Wall practice focuses exclusively on helping foreign nationals and immigrants interested in doing business, investing, and residing in the US. Although her practice has been in South Florida, she has represented individuals nationwide.

Legal Answers
  • Q. I-130 through marriage into widow petition, Does it convert automatically or I-360 has to be filled
    A: I am so sorry for your loss. (1) Was a copy of a death certificate sufficient? Yes, unless USCIS expressly requests the original. (2) Do I need to send a widow petition (Form I-360) along with a copy of the death certificate or is it converted automatically? It converts automatically once they received proof of death of the US citizen spouse and you were not legally separated or divorced at the time your spouse dies. (3) How do I check the status of my application? Online or by calling the customer service line. You continue to retain the same priority date as the original I-130. If, for example, the USCIS office with jurisdiction over your adjustment of status application is Oakland Park, FL the office processing times for that application could range from 8 months to 20 months. Every field office has different time frames. you can check those at https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/. I strongly recommend that you seek the advice of an experienced immigration attorney, to avoid delays and complications.
