⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE for former clients of immigration attorney Alexandra Lozano (La Luz del Camino Legal)
If you were represented by Alexandra Lozano or her firm, La Luz del Camino Legal, please read this important notice.

What happened?

A lawsuit filed by nine former clients alleges that the firm filed baseless or fraudulent VAWA and T-visa petitions and used clients’ signatures on documents without their knowledge or consent. Ms. Lozano denies any wrongdoing. She is no longer licensed to practice law in Washington State and has been suspended from practicing before USCIS, the immigration courts, and the Board of Immigration Appeals.

USCIS has issued a notice for affected former clients, and the Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) has published a community alert explaining what you should know.
If you were her client:

📄 1. Get a complete copy of your file from the firm and request your records from USCIS.
📬 2. Update your mailing address with USCIS to help ensure you receive important notices directly.
⚠️ 3. DO NOT withdraw your application or petition before speaking with a reputable immigration attorney or DOJ-accredited representative. Withdrawing your case may have serious consequences, including possible removal proceedings and, in some circumstances, detention.
⚖️ 4. Get a second opinion from a trusted immigration attorney or DOJ-accredited representative as soon as possible.

¿Qué sucedió?

Una demanda presentada por nueve antiguos clientes alega que la firma presentó solicitudes VAWA y de visas T sin fundamento o fraudulentas, y que utilizó las firmas de clientes en documentos sin su conocimiento ni consentimiento. La Sra. Lozano niega haber cometido irregularidades. Ya no tiene licencia para ejercer la abogacía en el estado de Washington y está suspendida para ejercer ante USCIS, las cortes de inmigración y la Junta de Apelaciones de Inmigración (BIA).

USCIS ha emitido una notificación para los antiguos clientes afectados, y el Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) ha publicado una alerta comunitaria que explica lo que deben saber.
Si usted fue su cliente:

📄 1. Obtenga una copia completa de su expediente de la firma y solicite sus registros a USCIS.
📬 2. Actualice su dirección postal con USCIS para ayudar a garantizar que reciba directamente las notificaciones importantes.
⚠️ 3. NO retire su solicitud o petición sin antes consultar con un abogado de inmigración de confianza o un representante acreditado por el Departamento de Justicia (DOJ).

⚖️ 4. Busque una segunda opinión con un abogado de inmigración de confianza o un representante acreditado por el DOJ lo antes posible.
