Immigration News

With the help of our firm, our pro bono client who fled her home country was approved for Asylum in the U.S.!

Attorney Powers submitted both the I-485 & I-130 forms for her clients. USCIS received these forms on May 21st, 2021 and we received approval for the Green Card on April 29th, 2022.

In Houston, there is a 95% or so denial of asylum in immigration court. So we are so excited to announce that we won asylum in immigration court from Honduras! We have been working with our clients for 4 years and are excited for our clients to live in the U.S. in peace

On average, after USCIS receives your naturalization application it is taking 14 months to receive an interview. However, after filing our client’s application, our client was scheduled for a naturalization interview approximately a month later.

The I-765 form is a request for an EAD, commonly known as a work permit. Our client was approved for their EAD and is now eligible to work legally in the U.S.

Our client of 7 years was approved to become a U.S. citizen.

Our client originally hired PLG for a re-entry permit in 2017, she then hired us again to renew the re-entry permit in 2019. The client then hired PLG for the third time for the I-131 re-entry permit in Sept 2020. The case was approved and received an approval notice on July 22, 2021.

Within 5 months of the hiring date, our clients were approved without RFE’s or interviews.

Our client of 9 years is no longer a green card holder we are happy to announce that after receiving approval in her Naturalization process she is now a U.S. Citizen.

The client contracted PLG in May 2018, her case consisted of a VAWA & AOS that was filed concurrently.  During the review process, the client received her work authorization and was able to renew as many times as necessary while her case was pending. In August 2021 Cook’s VAWA was approved and in December 2021
