This page links to various news and media outlets’ reports concerning immigration which occurred during the Summer of 2012.
Often, the plight of immigrants in the United States is understood only by them and by those who either study immigrants or assist them in asserting their legal rights. Newspapers and other media outlets tell the story of many immigrants, legal and illegal, and how they are affected by our broken immigration system.
When one of our clients has a particularly compelling story, we sometimes approach the press and many times the media’s coverage of their story has helped to resolve their problem.

“Don’t do the mistake we did and try to save few bucks going with nonprofessionals and sole practitioners! It will end up not only costing you much more in the long run, but also putting your status in jeopardy which can have a priceless impact. It is one of the most important steps in your life.”
