Practice Areas
We are a full-service immigration law firm, helping our clients achieve the American Dream.
Perhaps the most widely-known basis for obtaining lawful immigration status in the United States. It requires a petitioner who is a US citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident with the requisite degree of kinship to the beneficiary — through adoption, blood or marriage, depending on the case particulars. The governmental end goal is family reunification.
Attorney Rosy Meza defends clients at all stages of deportation or removal proceedings — serious processes by which the Department of Homeland Security seeks to have a foreign national removed from the United States. Specific remedies need to be presented to the Court when available, according to established standards of proof.
One of the most rewarding areas of immigration law: what for most is the ultimate goal of the immigration process, becoming a citizen of the United States. Great care must be taken in cases where the applicant has any criminal or moral character issues, as the consequences may go beyond the mere denial of the application.
Often complex, employment-based immigration generally requires an employer in the United States and a willing foreign-born worker whose labor and talents are desirable and necessary to the employer. Special rules apply to exceptionally gifted professionals; the goal is to attract foreign talent while not displacing able local workers.
Waivers are a species of pardons available under specific terms and conditions, generally required to waive a serious issue that would otherwise bar a foreign-born beneficiary or applicant from receiving the desired immigration benefit. Waivers are varied and useful — basically instruments of compassion.
Our immigration laws provide special lawful immigration status for religious workers needed in the United States to minister to their faithful. Both non-immigrant (temporary) and immigrant (permanent) status may be available, honoring the importance of Freedom of Religion enshrined in our constitutional system of laws.
Immigration processes are complex and stressful — we make the procedures and timelines understandable, from your own perspective.

We are located in the Midwest, from where we serve clients throughout the United States and the world. Because immigration law is basically federal administrative law, it is a complex, rewarding and dynamic area.

Our clients are foreign nationals as well as their families and associates. We take great care in mixing both a scholarly and creative approach to the solution of their immigration law issues.
Our Founding Fathers were aware that we were a nation of immigrants from around the globe, and created the architecture of the nation through a flexible yet profound legal system — one that took into account that our country would be nourished by the periodic influx of international culture and talent. It is for this reason that the United States is a magnet for talent and innovation, and our firm celebrates our clients’ diversity, as each nation and culture has unique resources to further enrich our nation’s growth in the arts, science, technology and every field of human endeavor.

Immigration News
Columnist — El Mexicano newspaper, immigration law analysis and news.
USCIS Policy Memorandum PM-602-0199 clarifies that Adjustment of Status is not a statutory entitlement, but an “extraordinary” discretionary relief and an “act of administrative grace.” While statutory eligibility criteria remain the same, officers are directed to apply a strict, case-by-case “totality of the circumstances” test to every application — a game changer for cases processed inside the United States.
Because this memo effectively encourages officers to look for reasons to deny applications on discretionary grounds, gathering extensive evidence of positive factors is all-important in the preparation of your case.
The young immigrant community awaits whether the Department of Justice will appeal the most recent lower-court decision on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. This program gave hope and a work permit to over 700,000 qualifying young immigrants brought to the country as children. At present, only renewals of qualifying existing DACA applicants are permitted; the lower-court decision would mandate the processing of new applications as well. Those interested in applying for the first time should keep abreast of the news and consult their immigration attorney.
