WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Testimonials

It has been quite a while of waiting time (17 months) to get my wife’s legal residential visa. I am incredibly grateful to your firm for the job done on the task already accomplished. Alejandra has been a very helpful person to complete said task. She was always on the outlook of our needs and the documents to be sent to Immigration, NVC and the consul in Guayaquil. I will recommend your firm and Alejandra to others in need of achieving their residence in good United States of America.


Raul “Raulo” Arrarte Moreyra

I have been in Mr. Walters' law office on more than one occasion concerning my wife's immigration matters. Most recently, I was assisted by the excellent Senior Paralegal Mr. Juan Carrillo. In one brief period and afternoon, Mr. Carrillo assisted my wife by applying for her Green Card. Two weeks later, I received a phone call from Mr. Carrillo. He had tracked the movement of the Green Card in the mail, and he announced the arrival of the Card on that afternoon. My wife and I have been pleased with the service of the Walters Law Office and Mr. Juan Carrillo.

We are updating guidance in the USCIS Policy Manual, Volume 4 , on valid marriages between a principal asylee or principal refugee and their claimed spouse. Under the updated guidance, all marriages between principal asylees or principal refugees and their claimed derivative spouses must be legally valid under the law of the jurisdiction where the marriage was celebrated in order to be considered valid for immigration benefit purposes. This guidance is effective March 3, 2025, and applies to requests pending or filed on or after that date. This updated guidance is consistent with applicable Board of Immigration Appeals case law and other USCIS adjudications. It also aligns our policies with President Trump’s Executive Order 14148, Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions , and Executive Order 14163, Realigning the United States Refugee Admission Program . The guidance contained in the Policy Manual is controlling and supersedes any related prior guidance. https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/uscis-updates-guidance-on-validity-of-alien-refugee-and-asylee-marriages Last Reviewed/Updated: 06/24/2025

Release Date 06/13/2025 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is issuing policy guidance to enhance the integrity of the review process for Form N-648, Medical Certification for Disability Exceptions. Under this guidance, USCIS is changing how we process Form N-648 by focusing greater attention on the veracity of medical certifications and identification and prevention of fraud, thereby enhancing the integrity of the process. Across the country and over the decades, there have been numerous instances where the medical certification process has been exploited. When a medical professional provides a false certification, it not only undermines the purpose of the disability exception but also weakens the credibility of the entire naturalization system because it causes USCIS to naturalize aliens who have not established eligibility for naturalization. Generally, aliens applying for naturalization must demonstrate understanding of the English language and knowledge and understanding of the civics fundamentals of the history and principles and form of government of the United States. Aliens applying for naturalization who are seeking an exception to the English and/or civics requirements because of a medically determinable physical or developmental disability or mental impairment that has lasted, or is expected to last, at least 12 months, must submit Form N-648 attesting to the medical condition, which must be completed and certified by a medical professional. The guidance confirms that the medical professional completing Form N-648 must explain how the disability or impairment leaves the alien unable to meet the English and civics requirement for naturalization (the presence of a disability alone is not sufficient). This guidance also provides that submitting multiple Forms N-648 concurrently may raise concerns about the credibility of the disability or impairment claim and could be subject to further review. This guidance, contained in Volume 12 of the USCIS Policy Manual , supports Executive Orders 14148 Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions and 14159 Protecting the American People Against Invasion . It is effective immediately, and applies to all naturalization applications and associated Forms N-648 filed on or after June 13, 2025. https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/update-to-policy-on-disability-exceptions-to-naturalization-requirements Last Reviewed/Updated: 06/13/2025

Release Date 05/12/2025 WASHINGTON – Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem today announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Afghanistan. The TPS designation for the country expires on May 20, 2025, and the termination will be effective on July 14, 2025. At least 60 days before a TPS designation expires, the Secretary, after consultation with appropriate U.S. government agencies, is required to review the conditions in a country designated for TPS to determine whether the conditions supporting the designation continue to be met, and if so, how long to extend the designation. “This administration is returning TPS to its original temporary intent,” said Secretary Kristi Noem . “We’ve reviewed the conditions in Afghanistan with our interagency partners, and they do not meet the requirements for a TPS designation. Afghanistan has had an improved security situation, and its stabilizing economy no longer prevent them from returning to their home country. Additionally, the termination furthers the national interest as DHS records indicate that there are recipients who have been under investigation for fraud and threatening our public safety and national security. Reviewing TPS designations is a key part of restoring integrity in our immigration system.” After consultation with interagency partners, Secretary Noem determined that conditions in Afghanistan no longer meet the statutory requirements. The Secretary’s decision was based on a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services review of the country conditions and in consultation with the Department of State. The Secretary determined that, overall, there are notable improvements in the security and economic situation such that requiring the return of Afghan nationals to Afghanistan does not pose a threat to their personal safety due to ongoing-armed conflict or extraordinary and temporary conditions. She further determined that permitting Afghan nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to the national interest of the United States.
