While many Americans have started families here or relocated for work, Colombia has seen a major influx of foreign workers in recent years. But when the time comes to return home to the United States, how can you make sure you’re ready?

Immigrating back to the U.S. can happen through several different pathways — and choosing the right one can be challenging. When you need help navigating the process, you deserve a trusted team of legal experts working for you.

At Legal Solutions & Co, we assist U.S. citizens living in Colombia with all aspects of immigration and visa procedures. When you have lawyers who understand the legal requirements, the process becomes much smoother — and far less stressful.

Contact us today and let our experienced team guide you home safely and efficiently.

Tax Exemptions

Living abroad — even temporarily — can have significant implications, especially when it comes to your tax status. Your income source and location can affect how you report and pay taxes in the United States.

Tax exemption assistance for U.S. citizens is one of our most frequently requested services. When you need to ensure that your documentation is handled properly, Legal Solutions & Co is here to help — so you won’t have to worry about a thing.

Consular Processing

Consular processing applies to those seeking Colombian citizenship or adjusting their immigration status while abroad. Although this process is essential for immigrants applying for residency, current U.S. citizens living in Colombia may also need consular assistance.

If your stay in Colombia has been extended unexpectedly or your employer decides to keep you abroad longer, you may need to update or adjust your immigration status. Staying compliant with immigration requirements always works in your favor.

In many cases, you don’t need to return to the United States to complete your documentation. When you need expert help with consular processing, simply reach out to Legal Solutions & Co.

CRBA (Consular Report of Birth Abroad)

If you are a U.S. citizen and your child is born abroad, you must report the birth to the appropriate U.S. authority. This is especially important if the child was not born on U.S. soil — such as a military base overseas.

The sooner you complete this documentation, the better. Trust us — you don’t want to wait until you’re planning your return home to take care of it!

Visa Denials

Few things are more stressful than a visa denial. Unfortunately, there are many reasons this can happen — from missing identification documents to incomplete applications.

No matter the reason, don’t let a visa denial stop your plans. Let Legal Solutions & Co help you resolve the issue and get you back on track toward returning home.

Passports

Sometimes, you may need to apply for or renew your U.S. passport while living in Colombia. Whether it’s lost, stolen, or simply expired, having the right legal support makes the process much easier.

Most applications must be submitted at least six weeks before your travel date. Some cases may qualify for expedited processing, although these are exceptions.

Whatever your situation, Legal Solutions & Co is here to assist you every step of the way.

Call our office today and start your passport process with the support of a trusted legal team in Colombia.
