MILITARY FAMILIES · VIRTUAL CONSULTATIONS
U.S. immigration help for military families in Italy and abroad
Speak with Tonia Maglione, a South Carolina-admitted immigration attorney and military spouse, in English, Italian, or Spanish.
Book a 45-minute consultationSupport across borders
We can discuss family petitions, consular processing, permanent residence, and citizenship questions. Start with the family relationship, relevant orders, immigration history, travel plans, and upcoming deadlines.
For families near Aviano, Vicenza, Naples, and Sigonella
Virtual consultations are available to families living in these areas and elsewhere. These are communities we can assist remotely, not firm offices or on-base locations. The firm is independent and is not a JAG office or affiliated with the military or U.S. government.
Parole in place and overseas families
Military parole in place concerns an immigration situation within the United States. It is not a visa for bringing a family member from Italy. Families overseas need a separate review of the immigration route that fits their circumstances.
Naturalization questions abroad
Specific naturalization provisions may apply to some military family members. Routes involving steps in the United States and routes completed overseas differ; eligibility depends on orders, residence, and individual requirements.
Prepare for your consultation
Gather family relationship documents, relevant military orders, immigration records, and a travel timeline. Use a secure method agreed with the firm to share sensitive documents. Any representation requires the firm's acceptance and an engagement agreement.
