The number of Venezuelan citizens living in Miami is quite important, which is why family reunification is one of the main pathways to come here. For this, however, you will need your relative to sponsor you.
There are several requirements to meet by you, the foreign citizen coming here, and by the sponsor, who must be a US lawful resident or citizen. The sponsor must be a close relative or even a spouse in order for the immigration petition to be accepted. Moreover, an important aspect to consider is the minimum income requirement imposed by the State of Florida.
From our experience, spousal sponsorship is one of the simplest ways of immigrating to Miami from South American countries, including Venezuela.
