Client's 13 year old daughter was sexually assaulted by client's husband (not bio dad of child). CPS is involved and currently investigating. Client is undocumented and so is the child. Husband is undocumented. She seeks immigration status for both her and the child.

Client is a citizen of Mexico from Cd. Mante, Tamaulipas, Mexico. She immigrated here in 1995 and entered through Reynosa/McAllen, TX border. She entered w/o inspection.

She remained in the US and was never caught.

SValerio advised client on 05/22/2026. Advice notes are as follows:

TC to client. She answered. Client speaks Spanish and so does attorney.

Client wants PO.

Araceli Nunez, mother of Christopher Ramirez who went missing in the woods for several days in Grimes County last year is needing assistance with submitting immigration documents. She is married to a US citizen. They are of limited means and cannot afford the attorney's fees and immigration fees. Is your organization able to assist? Let me know if you need additional information. 

Thanks, 

Maria Rodriguez Armas 

Client has an approved VAWA I-360 (and a conditionally approved U visa) based on DV/SA from LPR husband. Her priority date is current and she's eligible for VAWA adjustment. She moved out of our service area and now lives in Dallas.

Client states she wants to adjust her status but she is afraid she isn't going to be able to do so. When she applied for her residency she stated she was divorced. Client stated INS flagged her for dishonesty because they found out she was not officially divorced. Client didn't know she wasn't officially divorced because her attorney failed to communicate with her. Client stated she just found out her attorney failed to finalize the divorce. Client doesn't have a criminal record. Client separated with adverse party due to domestic violence.
