\nOn Friday, May 26, 2026, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office released a notice for clients of former immigration attorney Alexandra Lozano. The notice can be found here. USCIS urges applicants represented by former attorney Alexandra Lozano, who marketed herself as \u201cla milagrosa\u201d (miracle worker), to update their mailing address and informs them that they can withdraw their application or petition by submitting a written request.

What is the lawsuit about?<\/p>\n
The lawsuit, filed by nine former clients of Lozano, alleges that Lozano\u2019s firm filed baseless or fraudulent VAWA and T-visa petitions. It also alleges that Lozano and her firm placed client signatures on immigration documents without their knowledge or consent and client declarations contained information not provided to or agreed to by her clients. Lozano denies any wrongdoing. For more information on the lawsuit visit: https:\/\/lozanocivilaction.com\/#about.<\/p>\n

What if I was represented by Alexandra Lozano or her firm?<\/p>\n
Obtain a copy of your file
\n\tIt is extremely important that you obtain a full copy of your file. This process is two-fold. You will need to obtain a copy of your full file from Lozano\u2019s firm but also a copy of the application or petition that was filed with USCIS. Any attorney or Department of Justice (DOJ) accredited representative reviewing your case will want to know exactly what was filed so it is important that you obtain a copy of your full file. This will help the new attorney or DOJ accredited representative assess your case with you and determine whether Lozano or her firm committed fraud or made other errors in your case.
\n\t <\/p>\n
Obtaining a copy of your file from Lozano\u2019s firm
\n\t\tLozano\u2019s website indicates that they will be sending a link to an electronic copy of your file by August 9, 2026. If you do not receive your case file by then, you may contact them here: https:\/\/luzlegal.com\/eng\/aviso-importante\/contacto. If Lozano\u2019s firm is not responsive to your request, you may want to contact the Washington State Attorney General\u2019s Office and file a complaint there: https:\/\/www.atg.wa.gov\/file-complaint#Complaint.
\n\t\t
\nObtaining a copy of your file from USCIS
\n\t\tThis will require that you file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with USCIS. It is best that you first consult with an immigration attorney or DOJ accredited representative before filing anything with USCIS. For more information on requesting records through FOIA visit https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/records\/request-records-through-the-freedom-of-information-act-or-privacy-act.
\n\t\t <\/p>\n
Consult with an immigration attorney or accredited representative
\n\tWe understand your distrust of immigration attorneys, especially after the serious accusations involving former attorney Lozano. Your hesitation makes sense, and many people in a similar situation feel the same way. Still, it is crucial that you speak with a reputable immigration attorney or DOJ accredited representative as soon as possible to get a second opinion on your case. An immigration attorney or DOJ accredited representative will be able to review your case, what was filed with USCIS, and assess whether the application or petition was truly a good, legitimate case. An immigration attorney or DOJ accredited representative can also help you determine whether you\u2019ve been the victim of Lozano and whether you may be eligible for other forms of relief, including potential financial compensation. To obtain legal assistance or referrals in your area, first visit https:\/\/www.immigrationadvocates.org\/legaldirectory\/.
\n\t
\nChange your address with USCIS
\n\tRight now, Lozano\u2019s firm is receiving all communications from USCIS related to your case. You must update your address with USCIS to ensure that you, and not Lozano\u2019s firm, are receiving all communications from USCIS. You can update your address online through your USCIS online account here: https:\/\/myaccount.uscis.gov\/sign-in. If you do not have an online account, you can fill out Form AR-11 (which can be found here: https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/document\/forms\/ar-11.pdf). Change of address forms related to pending VAWA, T, or U nonimmigrant status cases are to be mailed as follows:<\/p>\n
For cases with a receipt number beginning with EAC, mail the completed AR-11 Form to:
\n\t\tU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
\n\t\tService Center Operations
\n\t\tAttn: Humanitarian Division
\n\t\t38 River Rd.
\n\t\tEssex Junction, VT 05479-0001
\n\t\t
\nFor cases with a receipt number beginning with LIN, mail the competed AR-11 Form to:
\n\t\tU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
\n\t\tService Center Operations
\n\t\tP.O. Box 87918
\n\t\tLincoln, NE 68501-7918<\/p>\n
Note: If you hire a new attorney or DOJ accredited representative, they will assist you in completing this process. Their address can be your safe mailing address.<\/p>\n
Do not withdraw your application or petition without first consulting with an attorney or accredited representative.
\nUSCIS informed clients of Lozano that they can withdraw their application or petition by submitting a written request with USCIS. USCIS, however, failed to explain the consequences of withdrawing the application or petition. If USCIS finds fraud or material misrepresentation occurred in the application or petition, USCIS will issue a Notice to Appear even if the application or petition is withdrawn. They may even do so if the application or petition is withdrawn and no fraud or material misrepresentation in fact occurred. This means that USCIS will refer the person to immigration court where they will have to defend themselves against being removed from the United States. Some will be subject to mandatory detention by ICE, meaning they will be detained in an ICE detention facility throughout the duration of their case. Therefore, before withdrawing your application or petition, you should first consult with a reputable immigration attorney or DOJ accredited representative to assess the merits of your case, to assess whether your application or petition contains information unknown to you, and to assess what relief options may be available to you.<\/p>\n

\n\tEn este momento, la firma de Lozano est\u00e1 recibiendo todas las comunicaciones de USCIS relacionadas con su caso. Debe actualizar su direcci\u00f3n ante USCIS para asegurarse de que usted\u2014y no la firma de Lozano \u2013 reciba todas las comunicaciones de USCIS. Puede actualizar su direcci\u00f3n en l\u00ednea a trav\u00e9s de su cuenta de USCIS aqu\u00ed: https:\/\/myaccount.uscis.gov\/sign-in. Si no tiene una cuenta en l\u00ednea, puede completar el Formulario AR-11 (disponible aqu\u00ed: https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/document\/forms\/ar-11.pdf) y enviarlo por correo. El cambio de direcci\u00f3n relacionado con casos pendientes de VAWA, Visa T o Visa U deben enviarse por correo a las siguientes direcciones:
\n\t <\/p>\n
Para casos con n\u00famero de recibo que comienza con EAC, env\u00ede el Formulario AR-11 a:
\n\t\tU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
\n\t\tService Center Operations
\n\t\tAttn: Humanitarian Division
\n\t\t38 River Rd.
\n\t\tEssex Junction, VT 05479-0001
\n\t\t
\nPara casos con un numero de recibo que comienza con LIN, envi\u00e9 el Formulario AR-11 a:
\n\t\tU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
\n\t\tService Center Operations
\n\t\tP.O. Box 87918
\n\t\tLincoln, NE 68501-7918<\/p>\n
Nota: Si contrata a un nuevo abogado o a un representante acreditado ellos le ayudaran a completar este proceso. La direcci\u00f3n de ellos puede servir como su direcci\u00f3n postal segura.<\/p>\n
No retire su solicitud o petici\u00f3n sin consultar primero a un abogad representante acreditado.
\nUSCIS informo a los clientes de Lozano que pueden retirar su solicitud o petici\u00f3n sometiendo una solicitud por escrito a USCIS. Sin embargo, USCIS no explico las consecuencias de retirar su solicitud o petici\u00f3n. Si USCIS determina que hubo fraude o informaci\u00f3n falsa que es material en la solicitud o petici\u00f3n, emitir\u00e1 una Notificaci\u00f3n de Comparec\u00eda (Notice to Appear), aunque la solicitud o petici\u00f3n sea retirada. Incluso, podr\u00edan hacerlo si se retira la solicitud o petici\u00f3n, aunque no hubo fraude ni informaci\u00f3n material falsa. Esto significa que USCIS enviar\u00e1 su caso a la corte de inmigraci\u00f3n, donde deber\u00e1 defenderse en contra de una posible deportaci\u00f3n de los EE.UU. Algunas personas pueden ser sujetas a detenci\u00f3n obligatoria por parte de ICE, lo que implica que permanecer\u00e1n detenidas en un centro de detenci\u00f3n durante el transcurso de su caso. Por lo tanto, antes de retirar su solicitud o petici\u00f3n, debe de consultar con aun abogado de inmigraci\u00f3n de confianza o con un representante acreditado para evaluar su caso, determinar si su solicitud o petici\u00f3n contiene informaci\u00f3n que usted desconoce y analizar que opciones migratorias podr\u00edan estar disponibles para usted.<\/p>\n
