US-ILC REPRESENTS IN ALL 50 STATES
The most rewarding part of my work at USILC is helping clients to pursue their dreams of migrating to the United States to build a better life. Having experienced a close family member’s migration process, I understand how challenging it can be.
When I had the opportunity to join US-ILC, I knew it was the right place for me. The firm’s people-first approach reflects my belief that every client deserves empathy, individual attention, and thoughtful support, rather than being treated as a case number.
I have worked in immigration law since 2017, primarily assisting refugees. I began my career with the United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP), where I helped people from countries including Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Colombia pursue resettlement in the United States. I conducted preliminary interviews and prepared case files for review by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officers. I later transitioned to an immigration law firm.
Today, I am a Records Associate in US-ILC’s FOIA/Records department. I request clients’ records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and through other channels, to help attorneys assess each client’s immigration history and develop an appropriate legal strategy.
In my previous role, I particularly enjoyed conducting comprehensive pre-screening interviews to understand clients’ backgrounds. In my current position, I communicate with clients daily in English and Spanish to explain processes, complete paperwork, and follow up on their immigration matters. My experience as an attorney in Honduras, together with my studies in U.S. immigration law, has prepared me for the complexities of this work.
The same energy that I bring to my work carries over to my life outside the office. I enjoy supporting my nine-year-old son at his soccer games and managing a small snack bar business at weekend events. I also value staying active and pursuing my interest in music through salsa and bachata classes.
