I am Jéssica Arantes Lima, an international lawyer with degrees in Law and in International Relations. I work with a focus on immigration law, helping migrants find effective and humane legal solutions. I speak English, Spanish and French, which lets me serve clients from many parts of the world.
My experience comes from years of volunteer work, where I first dealt with this subject directly at national level: I was legal coordinator at TAARE and, since 2024, I have been an attorney at AJESIR, an outreach project of the Federal University of Uberlândia. Interviews in Spanish, refuge renewals, the Federal Police, registry offices and consulates.
I also followed more than two hundred Spanish citizenship applications under the Democratic Memory Law until the deadline closed, in October 2025. What that practice left behind is a speciality that still pays off every day: the certificates and civil registry rectifications that almost every European citizenship application requires.
