Washington RPC 7.1
Former clients of Alexandra Lozano Immigration Law may be facing urgent questions about what happened to their immigration case, representation, and the status of their VAWA petitions.
On June 8, 2026, the Washington State Bar Association issued a public service announcement stating that Alexandra Lozano had resigned in lieu of discipline on May 26, 2026, making her permanently ineligible to practice law in Washington. WSBA also stated that Luz Legal, formerly Alexandra Lozano Immigration Law, announced on June 10, 2026, that it was closing permanently and would no longer provide legal representation.
If your case involves domestic violence, abuse by a spouse, abuse by a parent, abuse by an adult child, now is the time to have your case reviewed by a licensed immigration attorney.
What Is A VAWA Self-Petition?
VAWA allows certain immigrants who have experienced battery or extreme cruelty by a qualifying family member to seek immigration protection without relying on the abusive family member. USCIS explains that VAWA may apply to abused spouses, children, and parents, and that eligible self-petitioners may file Form I-360.
For many people, VAWA is important because the abusive spouse, parent, or adult child has no involvement or control of the immigration filing. A VAWA self-petition can allow a person to move forward confidentially, depending on the facts of the case.
Why Former Alexandra Lozano Clients Should Review Their VAWA Case
A pending VAWA case may involve several moving pieces, including Form I-360, adjustment of status, work authorization, biometrics, USCIS notices, requests for evidence, address updates, and supporting documents.
A new attorney may need to review:
- Whether the individual qualified to have a VAWA self-petition
- Whether the VAWA self-petition was actually filed
- Whether USCIS issued a receipt notice
- Whether USCIS sent a request for evidence
- Whether a deadline is approaching
- Whether the client’s address is current with USCIS
- Whether the evidence packet supports the claim
- Whether work authorization or adjustment of status was also filed
- Whether the client has a copy of the full case file
This review matters because a person may believe a case is moving forward when the file is incomplete, missing documents, or awaiting a response.
Documents To Gather Before A VAWA Case Review
If you are a client of Alexandra Lozano, Alexandra Lozano Immigration Law, ALIL, or Luz Legal, gather as much of your case history as possible before meeting with a new attorney.
Useful documents may include:
- USCIS receipt notices
- Copies of Form I-360, Form I-485, Form I-765, or Form I-131
- Requests for evidence
- Approval notices or denial notices
- Court records
- Police reports, if available
- Protection orders, if available
- Medical or counseling records, if available
- Marriage certificate, divorce records, birth certificates, or proof of relationship
- Prior attorney contracts and payment receipts
- Emails, text messages, letters, or case portal screenshots
- Any written communication from Luz Legal or Alexandra Lozano Immigration Law
You do not need every document before speaking with an attorney. A partial file is better than waiting while deadlines continue to advance.
What If You Are Not Sure Whether You Have A VAWA Case?
Many people do not know whether their experience qualifies as battery, extreme cruelty, domestic abuse, coercive control, threats, financial abuse, isolation, intimidation, or immigration-related abuse. USCIS considers VAWA eligibility based on the specific facts and evidence in each case, including the qualifying relationship, abuse, good moral character, and other requirements.
A case review can help determine whether your matter is a VAWA case, a family-based immigration case, a U visa issue, a T visa issue, or another type of immigration matter.
Speak With A Licensed Immigration Attorney
If you were previously working with Alexandra Lozano Immigration Law and your case involved VAWA, abuse, domestic violence, adjustment of status, or work authorization, your next step is to confirm the status of your case and protect any active deadlines.
