International Law Group Offers Emergency Immigration Consultations for Venezuelan TPS Holders in Miami–Doral

Law firm provides rapid Zoom consultations, Spanish-language support, weekend availability, and immediate legal guidance for Venezuelans whose TPS has expired.

DORAL, FL, UNITED STATES, January 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- U.S. immigration law firm International Law Group (ILG) announced today that it is offering rapid-response immigration consultations by Zoom, including evenings, early mornings, and weekends, for Venezuelan nationals in South Florida whose Temporary Protected Status (TPS) has expired or is expiring, and who may now face increased immigration enforcement risk.

Following recent announcements and enforcement priorities from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), many Venezuelans who previously relied on TPS are now in legal limbo. The end of TPS protections may expose individuals to ICE encounters, work authorization issues, and removal proceedings unless alternative immigration options are identified quickly.

“Many Venezuelans in Miami and Doral believed TPS would give them long-term security,” said Terik Hashmi, senior attorney with International Law Group. “Now that TPS has ended, inaction is the biggest risk. There are often legal options—but timing is critical. Early legal review can be the difference between staying lawfully and facing enforcement.”

International Law Group’s emergency services for Venezuelan TPS holders include:
• Emergency Zoom consultations (nationwide, with South Florida focus)
• TPS expiration risk assessments
• Review of ICE, USCIS, and employment notices
• Work authorization and lawful status strategies
• Evaluation of alternatives (asylum, family petitions, employment options, other relief)
• ICE encounter preparedness and rights counseling

International Law Group has decades of experience handling high-stakes immigration matters for individuals and families across Florida and the United States, including time-sensitive cases involving enforcement exposure.

Adds Mike Meier, senior attorney with the firm: “Consultations are confidential, available in Spanish, and scheduled outside normal business hours to meet urgent needs. We strongly encourage Venezuelan community members in Miami, Doral, and throughout South Florida who have lost TPS—or are unsure of their status—to seek legal advice immediately. Waiting can close doors that are still open today.”
