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. Mistakenly submitted Form I-90 instead of Form I-751, application denied, need advice.
- A: If you do not file Form I-751, you will automatically lose your permanent resident status and may become removable from the United States. However, if you missed the filing deadline due to reasons beyond your control, you can submit your I-751 late along with a written explanation requesting that USCIS excuse the late filing. USCIS may allow a late filing if you can demonstrate that the delay was for a valid reason or due to extenuating circumstances outside of your control, and that the length of the delay was reasonable. It is required for you to file I-751 late or not if you wish to remain lawfully in the U.S.
