Independent second opinions
Alexandra Lozano resigned her law license, her firm has closed, and her handling of humanitarian immigration cases is now the subject of federal lawsuits. If she or her firm, also known as La Luz del Camino Legal or Luz Legal, represented you, you deserve to know exactly where your case stands. We will review it with you and tell you the truth.
Important Notice: We are an independent law firm and are not affiliated with Alexandra Lozano, La Luz del Camino Legal, or Luz Legal. This page provides public-information context and legal review options for affected clients.
This is a serious, well-documented situation affecting a large number of immigrants across Washington and beyond. Here is a factual summary, based on public court filings and news reporting.
Important: The allegations described are claims made in civil lawsuits. Alexandra Lozano has denied wrongdoing, and no court has issued findings on the merits. Nothing on this page should be read as a statement that any specific person committed a crime or is liable for anything.
Alexandra Lozano was a Washington-licensed immigration attorney who marketed herself as “la milagrosa” — the miracle worker — and built a large-volume immigration practice with offices across the country, operating under the names Alexandra Lozano Immigration Law, and later La Luz del Camino Legal and Luz Legal. In May 2026, nine former clients filed a federal civil mass action against Lozano and related entities in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, alleging that her firm filed baseless or fraudulent VAWA and T-visa petitions, and that client signatures were placed on immigration filings without clients' knowledge or consent. A separate proposed nationwide class action followed in June 2026, alleging a high-volume “assembly line” approach to humanitarian immigration cases. Lozano resigned her Washington law license on May 26, 2026, in lieu of discipline, was suspended from practicing before USCIS, the Immigration Courts, and the Board of Immigration Appeals as of June 18, 2026, and her firm has since closed.

This guidance is consistent with what immigration advocacy organizations are recommending. You do not need to hire us to take these steps — but we're here to help with any or all of them.
Request your complete file from the former firm, and separately request a copy of what was actually filed with USCIS. Comparing the two matters.
The former firm may still be listed as receiving your mail from USCIS. Update your address online or by filing Form AR-11 so notices come directly to you.
Before you do anything else, have a licensed immigration attorney review what was actually filed and tell you, honestly, where your case stands.
Withdrawing a petition without legal advice can carry serious risk. Talk to an attorney before submitting any withdrawal request to USCIS.
To be clear about what this is and isn't: we are not running the litigation against Alexandra Lozano, and registering with us does not add you to any class action or lawsuit. If you're interested in pursuing financial compensation through the pending civil litigation, that process is being handled by a separate legal team, and case information is publicly available. What we offer is separate and immediate: a straightforward, honest review of your actual immigration case, and representation going forward if you want it.
You tell us what happened, including anything that felt wrong along the way. Nothing you share is used against you.
We compare what was actually filed with USCIS against what you were told, and flag anything concerning.
Plain-language explanation of where your case stands, what can be fixed, and what it would cost — in writing.
Move forward with us, go elsewhere, or just walk away with clarity. The choice is always yours.

FAQ
We've grouped these by topic. If you don't see your question answered here, call us and ask directly — a case review covers this too.
She was a Washington-licensed immigration attorney who operated under the names Alexandra Lozano Immigration Law, La Luz del Camino Legal, and Luz Legal. Following lawsuits over how humanitarian immigration cases were handled, she resigned her law license on May 26, 2026, was later suspended from practicing before federal immigration authorities, and her firm has since closed.
A federal mass action and a separate proposed class action allege that baseless or fraudulent VAWA and T-visa petitions were filed, and that client signatures appeared on documents without clients' knowledge or consent. Lozano denies wrongdoing, and none of this has been proven in court.
No, in either respect. We have no relationship with Alexandra Lozano, her former firm, or the attorneys handling the pending litigation. We are a separate, independent firm offering case reviews to anyone affected.
No. Getting a case review or hiring us has nothing to do with whether you join any lawsuit. The two are entirely separate tracks — one is about your immigration status, the other is about seeking financial compensation.
See the News Coverage and Official Resources sections below for verified reporting and government/nonprofit guidance.
Request it from the former firm directly, and separately request the version filed with USCIS through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Having both lets a new attorney confirm they match.
You can file a complaint with the Washington State Attorney General's Office. We can also help you request records directly.
Not without legal advice first. If USCIS later finds fraud or a material misrepresentation, it can issue a Notice to Appear in immigration court even after a withdrawal, and in some cases this can lead to mandatory detention. Speak with an attorney before withdrawing anything.
You can update it online through your USCIS account, or by mailing Form AR-11. VAWA, T-visa, and U-visa cases are routed to specific service centers depending on your receipt number — we'll confirm the correct address for your case during your review.
The clearest way is to compare what was actually submitted to USCIS against what you remember agreeing to. An attorney reviewing both documents can usually spot inconsistencies, including signatures or statements you didn't authorize.
These are the categories most directly implicated in the pending lawsuits, so we prioritize reviewing them carefully — including whether the underlying facts presented to USCIS were accurate and whether you understood and agreed to what was filed.
Getting a confidential case review does not put your status at risk. What can create risk is taking action — like withdrawing a petition — without first understanding the consequences, which is exactly what a review is meant to prevent.
No. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, what we'd do differently, and what it would cost — in writing — before you decide anything.
Yes. Our team includes bilingual staff so you can discuss your case in the language you're most comfortable with, from the first call through every update after.
We represent immigration clients throughout Washington State — including Seattle, Tacoma, Kent, Everett, Spokane, and the Tri-Cities — as well as clients in Oregon and Idaho.
Anything you have: your file from the former firm, USCIS notices or receipt numbers, and a rough timeline of what you were told and when. If you don't have any of this yet, that's fine — we can help you request it.
