How a US Law Firm Assists Clients in Chiclayo, Peru
Many individuals and businesses in Chiclayo encounter US legal issues—whether it is a family-based immigration petition, a business visa for a US subsidiary, or a cross-border family law matter. Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. provides US legal counsel to clients in Peru without requiring them to travel to the United States. Our US-admitted attorneys handle the US-law side of the matter, while our Peru Of Counsel, Martín Mayandía, advises on Peruvian law requirements and serves as a liaison for Spanish-speaking clients. Mr. Mayandía is admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and is not admitted in any US state bar; his role is limited to Peru-law matters in collaboration with the US-admitted attorneys of the firm.
For example, a Chiclayo resident seeking a US investor visa (E-2) or a family-sponsored green card works directly with our US immigration attorneys, who prepare and file the necessary petitions with USCIS. If Peruvian documents—such as a birth certificate or marriage record—need to be authenticated for use in the US, our firm coordinates with Mr. Mayandía to ensure the documents meet Peruvian legal standards before they are submitted to US authorities. This division of responsibility ensures that each aspect of the matter is handled by an attorney licensed in the relevant jurisdiction.
Frequently Asked Questions
I live in Chiclayo; can a US lawyer help me with a US immigration matter?
Yes, a US-licensed attorney can represent you in US immigration matters regardless of where you live. US immigration law, including the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), allows individuals outside the United States to apply for visas, green cards, and other benefits. Our US-admitted attorneys prepare and file petitions with USCIS and represent clients in consular processing at the US Embassy in Lima. You do not need to be physically present in the US to begin the process.
Do I need a lawyer in Peru for my US case?
Not for the US-law portion, but Peruvian legal requirements may arise. For example, if you need to submit a Peruvian marriage certificate or corporate document to US authorities, the document must first comply with Peruvian authentication standards. Our firm works with Martín Mayandía, Of Counsel, who is admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and is not admitted in any US state bar, to handle those Peru-law steps. The US-law aspects remain with our US-admitted attorneys.
What types of US legal matters can the firm handle for someone in Peru?
We handle US immigration, family, and business law matters for clients in Peru. This includes family-based and employment-based immigrant visas, nonimmigrant visas (such as B-1/B-2, E-2, L-1), US business formation and contracts, cross-border divorce and child custody, and enforcement of US judgments. Each matter is managed by a US-admitted attorney, with Peru-law support from our Of Counsel as needed.
How does the firm coordinate with a Peru-admitted attorney?
We engage Martín Mayandía, our Peru Of Counsel, for Peru-law issues that intersect with the US matter. Mr. Mayandía is admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and is not admitted in any US state bar. He advises on Peruvian document authentication, local legal requirements, and communication with Peruvian authorities. The US-admitted attorneys at the firm retain full responsibility for the US-law aspects of the case.
Is the firm’s Peru Of Counsel admitted in the US?
No. Martín Mayandía is admitted only in Peru. He is admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and is not admitted in any US state bar. His work with Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. is limited to Peru-law matters and to serving as a liaison for international clients with the firm’s US-admitted attorneys. He does not provide US legal advice or appear in US courts or agencies.
What should I bring to a consultation about a US legal matter from Peru?
You should have any relevant Peruvian documents, identification, and a summary of your US legal goal. For immigration matters, this includes passports, birth certificates, marriage certificates, and any prior US visa or immigration records. For business matters, corporate documents and financial records are helpful. Our US-admitted attorneys will review the US-law requirements, and if Peruvian documents need authentication, we will coordinate with our Peru Of Counsel.

Yes, we assist Peruvian entrepreneurs with E-2 treaty investor visas, L-1 intracompany transferee visas, and other business immigration categories. The US-admitted attorney will evaluate the business plan, investment amount, and corporate structure under US immigration law. If Peruvian corporate documents are needed, our Peru Of Counsel, Martín Mayandía (admitted in Peru, not in any US state bar), can assist with their preparation and authentication.
What if my US matter involves a Peruvian court judgment?
Enforcement of a Peruvian judgment in the US is governed by state law, not by treaty. Our US-admitted attorneys can analyze whether the judgment meets the requirements for recognition under the law of the relevant US state. We work with Martín Mayandía, our Peru Of Counsel, to obtain certified copies and any necessary Peruvian court certifications. Mr. Mayandía is admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and is not admitted in any US state bar.
