Patricia C. Wall-Santiago
Stok Kon + Braverman
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.

- Q. I just went to my immigration interview in cd juarez and was denied due to 212A6CII & 212A9Ci. what can i do?
- A: Section 212(a)(9)(C)(i) of the INA refers to illegal reentry after removal and is considered a permanent bar. The law only allows you to file for a waiver after you can show you have been physically present outside the U.S. for at least 10 years from the date of departure and section 212(a)(6)(C)(ii) of the INA refers to false claim to U.S. citizenship and is a permanent bar that has no waiver. Still, it does have one exception: "If each natural parent of the alien (or, in the case of an adopted alien, each adoptive parent of the alien) is or was a citizen (whether by birth or naturalization), the alien permanently resided in the United States prior to attaining the age of 16, and the alien ...

- Q. Can my cousin have a free immigration lawyer?
- A: I am so sorry to hear about your family's situation. Unfortunately, the government won't provide him with a pro bono attorney. When ICE detained him at BTC, ICE is obligated to provide him with a list of organizations that provide free legal services or low-cost legal services to him. You can contact Broward Legal Aid or Catholic Charities in Miami to see if they can represent him. Good luck.
- Q. I came with form i220A. I have been in the US since 06/06/22 but my court date is on 05/05/23..
- A: You last entered the U.S. on June 06, 22 and your hearing date before an immigration judge is on May 05, 23.
There might be several things that can be done in your case, but I need more facts. But for certain, you must notify the court of any changes in your address and contact information on form EOIR 33IC within 5 days of such move. I strongly advise that if you fear returning back to your home country, you file your asylum application as soon as practicable with the immigration judge; you don't have to wait until the date of the hearing to file your applications for relief from removal. I suggest you seek the legal advice of an experienced immigration attorney to represent you in court. ... Read More
