Alors que les résultats des élections confirment le retour d'une administration Trump, nous savons que beaucoup d'entre vous peuvent être préoccupés par ce que cela signifie pour la politique d'immigration et l'avenir de vos vies et de vos familles aux États-Unis. Ayant déjà traversé cette épreuve, nous, au cabinet Santos Lloyd Law Firm, voulons vous rassurer : nous sommes là, inébranlables et prêts à vous soutenir dans les défis qui vous attendent. Nous sommes conscients de vos préoccupations, nous entendons vos craintes et nous sommes à vos côtés.


Même si des changements se profilent à l'horizon, il est important de se rappeler que les changements de politique prendront du temps. Les changements législatifs et politiques ne se produisent pas du jour au lendemain. Ils se déroulent souvent lentement, avec des examens juridiques et, dans de nombreux cas, des contestations judiciaires. Nous comprenons à quel point cette incertitude peut être naturellement déstabilisante. C'est pourtant dans ces moments-là que nous vous demandons de croire que notre équipe vous fournira toujours les informations les plus récentes et les plus exactes. Nous suivons de près la situation et sommes prêts à nous adapter à tout changement de politique, de décret ou de réglementation dans les mois à venir.


Ce n'est pas la première fois que Santos Lloyd est confronté à un paysage politique incertain. Beaucoup d'entre vous se souviennent peut-être des changements importants survenus au cours de la première administration Trump - des politiques qui menaçaient l'unité familiale, cherchaient à redéfinir les voies d'accès à la citoyenneté et remettaient en question la stabilité des communautés d'immigrants. Pendant ces périodes, nos avocats sont restés forts, défendant les droits des clients devant les tribunaux, contestant les politiques injustes et travaillant sans relâche pour garder les familles unies et les avenirs sûrs pour ceux qui contribuent tant à ce pays.

À chaque défi, notre cabinet n'a fait que se renforcer. Nous avons acquis une expérience inestimable et construit une base de défense, de résilience et d'expertise qui constitue l'épine dorsale de notre cabinet. Les mois à venir exigeront toute notre attention et notre vigilance, mais notre dévouement à votre égard est inébranlable et notre détermination à vous soutenir reste absolue.

Pour l'avenir, notre engagement envers vous reste notre priorité absolue. Nous savons que l'immigration ne se résume pas à de la paperasserie ou à des procédures juridiques, mais qu'elle concerne des vies, des familles et des rêves. Notre mission a toujours été de fournir non seulement un service juridique exceptionnel, mais aussi d'être un pilier de soutien, en particulier dans les périodes d'incertitude. Nous sommes là pour répondre à vos questions, à vos préoccupations et pour vous encourager à aller de l'avant ensemble.

Au cabinet Santos Lloyd, nous sommes plus que des avocats ; nous sommes vos défenseurs, vos alliés et vos camarades. Notre équipe est convaincue qu'une affaire réussie n'est pas seulement une question de résultats, mais aussi de soutien à nos clients à travers les émotions, les défis et les triomphes qui accompagnent le droit de l'immigration. Nous tenons à vous rappeler que, si les mois à venir peuvent apporter des changements, ils apporteront également de nouvelles opportunités pour nous de nous tenir à vos côtés, de défendre ce qui est juste et de prouver que, même face aux obstacles, nous sommes plus forts ensemble.


N'hésitez pas à nous contacter si vous avez des questions ou des inquiétudes. Que vous ayez besoin de conseils juridiques, d'un moment de réconfort ou simplement d'un contact avec quelqu'un qui comprend vraiment votre parcours, nous sommes là.

Nous vous remercions d'avoir accordé votre confiance au cabinet Santos Lloyd.

Why You Should Still Consider Coming to the United States—Despite Changing Immigration Policies

By Shirin Navabi • August 14, 2025
It’s no secret that the U.S. immigration system has faced increased scrutiny and change in recent months. From evolving policies to headlines filled with uncertainty, it’s understandable that many individuals are left wondering: Is this still the right time to pursue a future in the United States? The answer is yes—and here’s why. Despite the shifting political landscape, the core structure of U.S. immigration law remains firmly in place. While the process may appear more complex or demanding than it once was, the legal pathways to live, work, and thrive in the United States are still open and accessible to those who take the proper steps. What often gets lost in the conversation is that the United States remains a country built on innovation, creativity, and resilience. It continues to attract global talent, entrepreneurs, artists, and professionals from all walks of life. Whether you are launching a business, advancing your career, or seeking a better life for your family, the United States offers unparalleled opportunities to those who are prepared and determined. Much of what makes the United States a global economic and technological leader today is the direct result of contributions made by immigrants. Nearly half of the current Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children. Immigrant entrepreneurs have long been an essential part of America’s economic success story. Some of the largest and most recognizable American companies were founded by immigrants or the children of immigrants. This includes household names such as Apple and Costco. Moderna, the pharmaceutical company and vaccine producer, was founded by a Canadian-born stem cell biologist, Derrick J. Rossi, whose parents themselves emigrated from Malta. These success stories are not outliers; they are part of a broader pattern that reflects the drive, innovation, and resilience that immigrants bring to the country. The United States also offers one of the most dynamic and diverse economies in the world. It is a place where hard work, fresh ideas, and entrepreneurial vision are rewarded. For creative professionals, business leaders, and investors, the United States provides a unique platform to grow, connect, and gain global influence. Its competitive marketplace, access to capital, and culture of innovation create unmatched opportunities for those ready to seize them. While the immigration process requires careful planning, that process is far from impossible. Indeed, having strong legal guidance is one of the most effective advantages an applicant can possess. Immigration law is complex, and each case must be evaluated individually. A clear, strategic plan tailored to your background and goals can significantly improve your chances of success. What may feel like a hurdle at first glance is often navigable with solid preparation and documentation. At our immigration law firm, we have had the privilege of assisting individuals from all over the world as they navigate these complexities. Time and again, we have witnessed how determination, careful preparation, and experienced legal counsel can turn uncertainty into opportunity and help transform a vision for the future into reality. If you have been uncertain about whether to move forward, let this be your sign to take the next step. The United States is still a land of possibilities. If you are ready to take that step, now is the time to act. Let us build your path forward together.

The Secret Weapon in Your O-1A or EB-1A Petition: A Powerful Letter of Recommendation

By Shirin Navabi • July 17, 2025
For individuals applying under the O-1A or EB-1A categories , both reserved for professionals with extraordinary ability, letters of recommendation are a critical part of the petition. These expert testimonial letters offer valuable insight into your accomplishments, reputation, and influence within your field. When written properly, they help demonstrate that you truly stand out as someone who has risen to the very top of your profession. Many petitions submitted by highly accomplished individuals fall short because the recommendation letters are vague, overly personal, or fail to clearly explain why the applicant meets the legal standard of extraordinary ability. That is why taking the time to prepare your recommenders effectively is not just helpful. It is essential to build a strong and persuasive case. First, it is important to help your recommenders understand the purpose of the letter . This is not a casual reference or character recommendation. It is a formal declaration to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that you possess extraordinary ability in your area of expertise. The letter must describe your achievements in concrete terms and explain why your work has had a significant impact and recognition within your field. Many professionals, no matter how accomplished, are unfamiliar with the specific requirements of the O-1A and EB-1A categories. It is helpful to provide them with a short explanation of what is needed, and in some cases, a sample or outline to guide them. Selecting the right recommenders is just as critical as the content of the letters themselves. While USCIS gives greater weight to letters from independent experts, independence should not be confused with distance. The ideal recommender is someone who knows your work well and can provide specific and credible insight into your contributions, impact, and reputation in the field. A letter from someone who barely knows you, or one that focuses more on the recommender’s own accomplishments than yours, is unlikely to carry much weight with USCIS. A common mistake is submitting letters that read more like summaries of the recommender’s resume than a meaningful evaluation of your achievements. While a brief introduction of the recommender’s qualifications is important to establish credibility, the focus must remain squarely on you , your work, your innovation, and the ways in which your impact is considered extraordinary. The strongest letters go beyond general praise. They include clear and detailed examples of how your contributions have influenced others in your field or led to measurable outcomes. To make the letter as accurate and persuasive as possible, you should provide your recommenders with a summary of your most important professional milestones. This might include major awards, media coverage, patents, publications, notable leadership roles, or metrics showing the commercial or scientific success of your work. Well-prepared recommendation letters serve as both evidence and narrative. They help fulfill specific legal requirements and also tell the story of how and why your work has earned you distinction. In a category defined by terms like extraordinary ability, it is important that every part of your petition reinforces that standard. At Santos Lloyd Law Firm, we work closely with our clients and their recommenders to develop strong and compelling testimonial letters that meet USCIS expectations and highlight each applicant’s unique contributions.
