Gerson MuñozThe immigrant life isn’t for the weak. I’ve seen it firsthand through my good friend who left everything behind to live the American dream. When it was time for her to bring her family to the country, she was overwhelmed by how unforgiving the process can be.
It was so stressful and emotionally draining, not to mention expensive. So, I told her to stop trying to do some DIYs and just straight-up ask for help from experts who can make things easier for her.
So, I accompanied her to look into immigration agencies in Jacksonville and came across some really good ones. These professionals know the system best and surely won’t let anyone down.
How much do immigration services cost in Jacksonville?
The cost of immigration services in Jacksonville varies by service and whether you use a lawyer.
For example, citizenship applications can cost between $500 and $1,500, while deportation defenses are around $2,000 to $15,000.
1. Luly Immigration Services LLC
Address: 844 Essex St
Phone: +19045340648
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday, 10 AM–5 PM
- Saturday, 10 AM–2 PM
Luly Immigration Services primarily offers document preparation and consultation that helps individuals deal with the confusing parts of the U.S immigration paperwork.
What really sets the agency apart for us is the direct and personal engagement you get from the owner, Luly, who provides one-on-one consultation and attentive support throughout the entire process.
Clients say that she takes the time to make sure that forms are filled out correctly and all the supporting documents are complete and in order.
One thing we like about her is that she always gets it right the first time. Meaning, mistakes that could lead to Requests for Evidence (RFE) are pretty rare when she’s involved.
But that’s probably due to how the firm only focuses on correctly filling out immigration forms for green cards, residency renewals, and so on. They may not be the most suitable option for cases with legal complications, such as deportation.
I had an excellent experience with this immigration notary
“I had an excellent experience with this immigration notary. From the very beginning, they provided very professional, clear, and patient treatment to answer all my questions. They guided me step by step through the process, made it simple, and instilled a great deal of confidence in me. Their dedication and commitment to each client are evident. I highly recommend them for their professionalism, efficiency, and human quality.”

I never felt worried or doubtful about her work
“If you want your case to move quickly, with the certainty that everything is in order with the paperwork you’re going to submit, and without any doubts about the process, Luly is the right person. We didn’t have the opportunity to meet in person since we live in Texas, but if there’s one thing I can say, it’s that despite the distance, I never felt worried or doubtful about her work. She’s a true professional, making you feel safe and guided throughout the entire process. When she showed me the package she would send to USCIS, I thought, “Wow, I’m definitely at ease. We’re definitely in good hands.” She knows her job very well, she’s an incredible person, and finally, the result spoke for itself: 59 days, and our residency was approved! Thank you so much for all your help. Our family is infinitely grateful for all your work on our case. May God continue to bless you and prosper you in everything. Do I recommend her? Absolutely! 💯💯💯💯”

2. TramitaUSA
Address: 12220 Atlantic Blvd
Phone: +19043570582
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday, 7 AM–7:30 PM
- Saturday, 8:30 AM–8:30 PM
- Sunday, 9:30 AM–8 PM
TramitaUSA uses virtual assistants to provide flexible support in the entire document preparation phase for immigration applications.
Basically, these VAs manage the end-to-end workflow of the process, which starts from organizing complex client data and ensuring all details are correct. And then they go ahead and enter client information into forms or online portals.
One of the most appealing features of the agency is that it’s particularly suited to address the needs of Hispanic individuals, like green card and family petitions.
That’s why the majority of Tramita’s official materials and client communication are presented in Spanish, so it’s easier to understand and follow for those who aren’t that fluent in English.
By providing all the information accurately, it minimizes the risk of rejection caused by simple clerical errors.
It’s not just the accessibility in language that’s commendable, but also how flexible they are with timing. According to people, the team is always available to answer questions and address concerns quickly, even after office hours.
One point of concern for us, though, is that they don’t feel secure enough with the “remote setup” due to not being able to meet their advisors in person.
The entire process was quick and stress-free
“She’s excellent at what she does. The entire process was quick and stress-free. It’s clear she has extensive experience with immigration procedures, and from the first contact, she inspires confidence. She was always available to answer questions and make sure everything went perfectly. I highly recommend Germori if you’re looking for someone reliable and efficient. You’re the best. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Always grateful for your efforts
“She handled all our humanitarian parole and visa application procedures. After three attempts with her, we were able to obtain a tourist visa for my mother in Italy. Always grateful for your efforts. Highly recommended.”

3. Cavanaugh Law Group
Address: 3840 Belfort Rd STE 106
Phone: +18002839516
Business hours: Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM
For over 14 years, Cavanaugh Law Group has been helping foreign nationals deal with complex legal challenges in the U.S immigration law.
We found them particularly well-suited for individuals, families, and businesses that face difficult issues, such as deportation and marriage-based cases.
Unlike consulting or document preparation that help fill out forms, the firm is staffed with licensed attorneys who can represent clients before USCIS and courts.
Before anything else, they undergo a case-building phase, where they look for evidence to build a defense or a petition. One example is gathering bona fide proof for marriage cases (joint financial records, shared leases, etc.).
Essentially, clients turn to them for help when legal strategy is a vital part of the process. And from what we’ve gathered, the lawyers are very reliable in explaining the details clearly, helping patrons understand why certain strategies are recommended.
And they always aim to secure favorable rulings, like securing Asylum grants, to prevent removals and protect the immigrant’s legal status.
But not everyone gets the opportunity to work with the team. They prioritize personalized attention for every client, and they can be selective about the cases they take on.
It was definitely a positive experience
“William was hired by our out-of-town immigration attorney. We had a meeting at his office, and he attended our Green Card interview with our family at the Jacksonville USCIS. He is really knowledgeable, and it lifted a weight from our shoulders knowing he was there. It was definitely a positive experience, especially since he was able to quickly answer some more technical questions from the interviewer. If we are both still in the Jacksonville area at the time to apply for our citizenship, we will definitely give him a call.”
– Eric “Fish” Poisson, Google Review
Absolutely the best experience
“Absolutely the best experience working with Attorney William Cavanaugh and his team. I appreciate all that was done for my husband and me. Our case is not trivial; in fact, not all attorneys were able to answer my endless list of questions, but Attorney Cavanaugh did with deep knowledge of the subject for sure. I recommend everyone who needs legal advice or assistance in immigration to schedule an appointment with him. Thank you for your professionalism and dedication to your clients.”

4. Rebecca Black Immigration Law
Address: 4830 Atlantic Blvd
Phone: +19049994928
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM
- Saturday, 12–3 PM
Rebecca Black offers full-service legal representation, including advocacy before USCIS, immigration court, and on appeal. This means that for whatever issue you’re facing, you have a legal strategy backing you up at every stage of the case.
Rebecca and her team’s dedication to guiding patrons through difficult times is highly commendable. Some people have mentioned that they help processes that have stalled for a long time move forward with consistent effort.
And even with cases that took years to conclude (not the firm’s fault!), they stayed with the clients and maintained the same level of service since the beginning.
This is all thanks to her proactive approach, where her team conducts aggressive follow-ups that usually include Writs of Mandamus. This is a formal way to force action on those cases that were held back for a long time.
This legal pressure works in their favor, and it frequently results in securing long-awaited approvals, especially for green cards and citizenship.
The only thing you’ll have to deal with is the waiting time before the consultation, despite having a scheduled appointment. They have to take their time on each client, so even if you arrive on time, there’s a fair chance you won’t be seen right away.
Very attentive to the details of my case
“I am super happy with the results that this office provided. Very attentive to the details of my case. Thank you, Nersy. She handled my case very well, worked hard, and was very helpful! When I first started with DACA, and now my permanent green card! I highly recommend them!”
– Luis Martinez, Google Review
I was able to finally obtain the peace of mind I have been yearning for
“Rebecca Black and her team went above and beyond to help me in my case. She and her team were always very cordial, professional, and efficient. Thanks to their hard work and perseverance, I was able to finally obtain the peace of mind I have been yearning for many years. I highly recommend this great team to anyone who needs help resolving their immigration case. Thank you, Rebecca, for all the patience and kindness you showed me throughout this whole long process.”

5. Weldon Law Group
Address: 334 E Duval St
Phone: +19043227980
Business hours: Open 24/7
Weldon Law Group is a well-regarded full-service agency, providing legal help in both English and Spanish. They basically make it especially accessible for Hispanic individuals who may need clear explanations regarding complex cases.
The firm is particularly familiar with dealing with “crimmigration” cases (when criminal charges and immigration status overlap) by helping people defend their rights to stay in the U.S.
Naturally, cases like these are not simple. They often require all three: deportation defense, representation in court, and making appeals.
It’s impressive that they would do such an exhaustive process to plead down the case, carefully analyzing all records to find a way out of the threat.
Clients we interviewed said that Weldon and his group really fight for results by being meticulous, often leading to reduced charges instead of conviction or deportation.
Just a fair warning, though, some meetings occasionally extend, so there might be a longer waiting time, even after booking and confirming a consultation.
Mr. Weldon was incredibly helpful
“My mom and brother were in need of assistance with their citizenship application, and Mr. Weldon was incredibly helpful. He accompanied them to their interviews, and his office staff was equally friendly and supportive. They diligently submitted all the necessary paperwork and handled all the required tasks for the process. I highly recommend this law group for anyone seeking assistance with immigration matters.”
– Mindi Martin, Google Review
Mr. Weldon and his staff went above and beyond
“We had a wonderful experience from our first contact with the Weldon Law Group. We called for an appointment, and Mr. Weldon was able to meet with us within 24 hours of our call. Mr. Weldon and his staff went above and beyond and kept the lines of communication open throughout the entire process. Mr. Weldon’s professionalism, expertise, efforts, and guidance let us know we were in good hands. We highly recommend the Weldon Law Group. Thank you to Mr. Weldon and the rest of your staff for all you have done for us.”
