Ecuadorian Client With DACA Obtains Green Card After 24 Years in the United States

We are thrilled to share another success story from our law firm!

Our client, a registered nurse originally from Ecuador, has recently become a green card holder after navigating the complex U.S. immigration system for over two decades.

Our client entered the United States with a visitor’s visa back in 1999 and was later granted DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) status,which allowed her to study and work legally in the country.

Despite these benefits, the desire for more permanent residency was always in the back of her mind.

Fast forward to 2024, after being in a loving relationship with her now-husband for three years and newly married for just two months, she sought our firm’s assistance in applying for lawful permanent resident status.

When the couple met with us, they were eager to solidify their life together in the U.S.

We worked closely with them to prepare a strong case, presenting clear evidence of their bona fide marriage.

This evidence included their joint lease, utility bills in both names, joint bank statements, text messages, social media posts, letters of support from friends and family, and a collection of photos documenting their journey together.

We filed their application in February 2024, and in just six short months, they received the joyous news of their approval.

The efficiency and success of this case were due to the couple’s thorough preparation, their genuine relationship, and our firm’s dedication to ensuring all necessary documentation was meticulously compiled and presented.

This success story is a testament to what can be achieved with the right legal guidance, especially in today’s complex and often challenging immigration landscape.

Our client’s journey from DACA recipient to green card holder, without any issues related to law enforcement or inadmissibility, exemplifies the possibility of turning dreams into reality.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to this couple as they embark on the next chapter of their lives together, secure in the knowledge that they can continue building their future in the United States.
