My name is Jaci Simonet, I am the officer Manager of 360 Immigration Law Group.

When I came to USA 22 years ago, I came as the mother of 2 beautiful young girls looking for a better future for them. I was born in Linhares, Espirito Santo. When I was 7 years old, we moved to Vitoria, the Capitol of the state of Espirito Santo.

Coming to USA had been my dream for a long time before I had a chance to apply for my Visa. I took my chance and embraced it. My choice was coming to Florida. The climate is the same as my city in Brazil and when we arrived in Miami 22 years ago, I knew Florida was my future home.

I raised my girls here, but we kept the Portuguese language. We always spoke Portuguese at home, so it helped them to be bilingual. Learning English was not that hard, because I went to school in Brazil to learn the language, I knew I just needed to work hard and practice it.

I know how hard is to go to another country without knowing the language and without the right documentation. Working with immigration is really a passion, a labor of love. We change lives every day. I cannot describe the feeling I have every time one of our clients gets approved for any kind of documentation, and the amazing feeling it is to help them be legal. I have gone through this process myself. Becoming an American Citizen changed my life.

We are a team, and we work hard to help people, to guide them through the process, and we are side by side every step of the way. We work hard to get results.

I work with an amazing team, we are a family of immigrants, and I have the privilege to work with the 2 best attorneys that I have known. They fight tooth and nail to help our clients, and you can count on our team to help fight for you.

My name is Giselma Martins, and I am a Paralegal at the 360 Immigration Law Group. I was born in Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, and came to the United States 22 years ago. I have a degree in History and a postgraduate degree in Human Resources.

I began working in immigration in 2001, during the LIFE Act (2000 amendment) - Section 245(i), which allowed certain immigrants present in the United States who would not normally qualify to apply for an adjustment of status to obtain permanent residency (get a Green Card). It was the opportunity for many immigrants to fulfill their dreams. Since then, I have been in this field, helping people turn dreams into reality. I can affirm how gratifying it is to see the joy of people achieving their accomplishments. Many years ago, still in Brazil, I heard a phrase that I don't remember who said, but I adopted it as a motto - "We do the impossible, the miracle takes a little longer." I believe that with faith, determination, we can always do a little more to achieve our goals and those we represent.

In these more than 22 years of experience working with immigration, I have gained knowledge and worked on various types of cases with immigration: L-1, H-1, COS (Change of Status), EOS (Extension of Status); Family processes, Removal of Conditional (I-751), Naturalization, DACA, TPS, Grandfathered under 245(i), and at the moment, the "apple of my eye" are PERM cases (Program Electronic Review Management - allows an employer to hire a foreigner to work permanently in the United States), I-140, and Adjustment of Status (application for Permanent Residence).

In this journey, I had the opportunity to work with good professionals in the field, I heard many stories, dreamed the dreams of many. Today, I work at the 360 Immigration Law Group, where teamwork, truth, wisdom, loyalty to both clients and colleagues prevail. Here, it's not enough to do just what's necessary; we always put in a little more - more knowledge, complicity, recognition, determination, compassion, dedication, etc. Each client is treated as unique. That is the difference in achieving goals. That is our differential advantage.

My name is Emily Oliveira and I was born in Brazil, but I have lived almost my entire life in Spain.

At 15 I came to the United States and met my father after a long time without seeing him with the help of Jamile. Jamile was essential for the acquisition of my documents and my family’s and being part of this team today is very rewarding. I am fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese and am able to assist clients with all their questions and concerns. I work with correspondence management, internal and external communications as well as the area of document translation. The breadth of our expertise means we’re able to serve as a dedicated resource for all your immigration needs. We are passionate about walking you through every step of your process. We take your legal matters personally because we know how much is at stake. Your success is ours.

My name is Samantha Dias, and I am one of the Legal Assistants here at 360 Immigration Law Group.

I was born in Brazil but came to the United States with my family as a small child. I grew up in the melting pot that is South Florida and I love the diversity and cultural richness that living here entails. I am passionate about helping immigrants from around the world achieve their American Dream because I personally know the struggles and sacrifices that my mother and I faced in our journey to becoming Naturalized U.S. Citizens. Everyone has their own unique experience in this path, but it is extremely satisfying to see lives changed everyday and to be a part of people’s journey in this process.

I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts degree from Mount Holyoke College in 2014 and went on to get my Master of Arts in Biblical Studies in 2019. Prior to joining 360 Immigration Law Group, I worked as a Designated School Official (DSO) for over four years and gained invaluable experience in the intricacies of the F-1 Student Visa and the regulations surrounding the U.S. government’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program. This experience deepened my love and passion for immigration, and for helping others pursue legal pathways to achieving their dreams in the United States.

Making the transition into being a Legal Assistant at 360 Immigration Law Group was one of the best decisions I made in my professional career. I am extremely blessed to be a part of this team, being led by the Attorney Jamile Moraes Pellicer. It is gratifying to work for a Law firm that actually cares about their clients and works tirelessly to assist them in navigating the oftentimes stressful and uncertain U.S. immigration system. In these challenging times, having an ethical, professional, detail-oriented team is essential in achieving success in the path of legalization. I am honored to be a part of this team.

My name is Andressa Ibraim Meerbott, a Legal Assistant at 360 Immigration Law Group.

I was born Vitoria, Brazil and moved to the United States in 1999 when I was 8 years old. I am the baby in our family, so I was very protected and surrounded by love, but seeing my parents and older sister struggle with their immigration proceedings left a deep mark on me. I grew up in the South Florida tri-county area, surrounded by immigrants, and our family worked hard to keep in touch with our roots, never forgetting where we came from and the battles it took to get where we are today. In 2011, I made my family proud by becoming an American Citizen – the culmination of many years of struggle and sacrifice for them. My husband joined the military in 2015, and we now call Virginia our home base, with our small “zoo” (three cats and two dogs).

I sympathize greatly with the phrase: “no human being is illegal,” and I’m proud to call myself part of a team who not only fights zealously to represent their clients but understands on a deeper level the intricacies and difficulties of navigating the U.S. immigration system. When a client receives their green card, we see our joy reflected in their eyes – the joy of reuniting with their children or their families; the joy of finally being able to call this country “home” on paper, and not just in their hearts.

A good attorney is worth their weight in gold. Attorney Jamile and Attorney Yoel are exemplary professionals, dedicated and meticulous in their representation. Their wealth of knowledge and humanity is the backbone of 360 Immigration Law Group, and they strive to treat each case with passion, dedication, and diligence – and ensure that we never lose sight of our mission: to help families stay in the United States and realize their American Dream.

I love what I do, and I’m honored to be a part of 360 Immigration Law Group.

My name is Joseph Pellicer. I was born and raised in Cuba until I was 18 years old. That was when my parents decided to immigrate to United States. It was hard for me to come to United States and leave behind friends, family, and my career to go to a country where I don’t speak the language and I would need to start over from zero. It was hard but not impossible. When I got here, I started working to help my parents and then I started studying English at Miami Dade College to learn the language. After I finished the English classes I started working on my Associates in Science and I also received some certifications in Database Administration, Networking Administration and Cisco Network Administration. After finishing all these certifications and Associates in Science, I attended Florida International University where I graduated as an Electrical Engineer. I am a husband and a father of three kids and our dog Lola. I love my family very much they are the world to me.

I love working at 360 Immigration Law Group because all my life I have been a person who loves to help everyone and, in the office, I am able to do that by making sure all the systems are working perfectly and implementing ideas and procedures that empower the team to focus on their work and they are able to provide quicker and most efficient service to our clients.
