I hired Mr. Patterson (due to another attorney's referral) to handle what I viewed as a complex case. Because of Mr. Patterson's knowledge of the applicable laws and forethought of opposing counsel's strategy, I'm happy to say the outcome was "excellent." I generally do not post but Mr. Patterson absolutely deserves a well appreciated applause for his legal performance. That said, I also referred him to my sister which also had successful results. Thank you, Mr. Patterson.

- If you or your fiancé have been married before, you’ll need to provide death or divorce certificates for the previous spouse.

A Tampa immigration attorney can help you obtain the proper visa for your finance’ (e).
