Law Office of Joshua N. Quintero

Today, it was officially announced that the Trump-era Public Charge wealth test for Adjustment of Status cases will soon be suspended. In a matter of days, Immigration (USCIS) will stop requiring the new I-944 Self Sufficiency Form and enforcing the public charge rules that began last year. If you believe that this change may benefit you, our office offers free telephonic consultations and case reviews, which can be scheduled by calling (562) 396-0319.

Our Office will be closed today, Monday, February 15, 2021, in observance of President’s Day. We will resume normal business hours tomorrow, February 16, 2021 from 9am to 5pm.

In celebration of the Christmas Holiday, our Office will be closed today, December 24th, and tomorrow, December 25th. We will resume normal business hours on Monday, December 28th at 9:00 a.m.

DACA is officially back! Immigration (USCIS) is temporarily accepting new, first-time, requests for DACA, as well as Advance Parole applications. If you believe you are eligible, please contact our office for a free consultation and case review at (562) 396-0319.

USCIS has announced a change to the Civics test, which is part of the Naturalization process. If you file your Naturalization (N-400) application after December 1, 2020, you will be taking the new and updated Civics test. The new Civics test will be slightly more difficult than the current one, since most Permanent Residents will now have to memorize 128 questions and correctly answer 12 out of 20 to pass.

All vote centers in Los Angeles County are now open and you can vote until November 3rd. If you have yet to vote, our office has put together the following suggestions for your consideration. Remember to Vote!

The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled, 5-4, against the Trump administration and has allowed DACA to remain as law! This DACA decision is a temporary win and the fight is not over, since the decision allows for the Trump administration to try and remove DACA again, which we hope they do not do.

USCIS is now reopening many field offices and complying with CDC mask and social distancing requirements. As a reminder, since the COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing, any field office is subject to closure at any time and cancelled appointments will be automatically rescheduled via mail.
