Finding Sanctuary: How The Law Offices of James A. Welcome Helped Franklin Build a New Life
Franklin's journey to the United States was marked by hardship, but he found refuge and hope through the services of The Law Offices of James A. Welcome. Arriving from Ecuador at the tender age of 16, he sought an escape from the severe emotional and physical abuse inflicted by his parents. After the death of his father and his mother's descent into alcoholism, Franklin was left without any support.
Upon engaging with our firm, we recognized the complexities involved in his Special Immigrant Juvenile case, which intertwined both family and immigration law. Our initial step was to file a petition with the probate court to sever guardianship rights from his parents and secure a court declaration that it was unsafe for him to return to Ecuador.
With our adept handling of legal procedures, we successfully obtained approval for both the petition and his Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) status. Subsequently, Franklin was granted deferred action status, affording him temporary protection from removal and the ability to remain in the United States.
With his new status, Franklin acquired an employment authorization card and a social security card, opening doors to educational and employment opportunities. Now, he is pursuing his education in college, turning a new leaf in his life.
Franklin’s story is a testament to the transformative power of dedicated legal representation. At The Law Offices of James A. Welcome, we are committed to supporting young immigrants like Franklin, guiding them through intricate legal pathways and aiding them in building a brighter future.

A Fight for Family and Freedom with The Law Offices of James A. Welcome
Nataly’s pursuit of the American dream was fraught with challenges, culminating in a nightmare scenario where she faced deportation and a criminal charge after being unknowingly caught in a vehicle containing drugs. With her young family relying on her, and her mother battling a terminal illness back in Ecuador, Nataly felt her world crumbling around her.
Our expertise in both criminal and immigration law was crucial for Nataly’s complex case. We vigorously defended against the drug charge, leading to its dismissal following her ex-boyfriend's admission of her innocence. With the criminal charges cleared, we focused on solidifying Nataly’s future in the United States.
Despite a successful marriage to a US citizen and a subsequent spousal petition, a past undocumented entry into the US posed a significant challenge. We guided Nataly through obtaining a waiver for her unlawful presence. Although an interview with US consular officials initially led to a denial due to a focus on the dismissed drug charge, our team did not give up. We relentlessly advocated for Nataly, ensuring that the consular officials recognized the dismissal and understood her actual circumstances.
Ultimately, our efforts bore fruit: Nataly’s green card was approved, allowing her to reunite with her family in the US. Today, she is free from the fear of deportation and surrounded by her loved ones.
Nataly’s case highlights our commitment to fighting for our clients, ensuring their stories are heard, and navigating them through complex legal challenges to achieve their immigration goals.

Finding Refuge and Freedom with The Law Offices of James A. Welcome
At the age of 24, Jane arrived in the United States from a small African village, seeking refuge from a harrowing cultural practice imposed on young women. This tradition, deeply rooted in her village, required that the ritual be performed before a woman turned 25, under threat of public enforcement if not voluntarily undertaken. Holding an F-1 visa, Jane's entry into the US represented her only escape.
Understanding both the legal intricacies and the cultural sensitivities of Jane's case was essential. Our team at The Law Offices of James A. Welcome acted swiftly to file an asylum application with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Asylum applications can be protracted, often taking years to resolve without an interview. However, Jane's case was expedited, resulting in an extraordinary outcome—her application was approved in just six months.
Now a green card holder, Jane is safe from the trauma she faced in her homeland. She is currently pursuing higher education, enjoying her freedom, and laying the groundwork for a better future for her sister, who remains at risk from the same cultural practice. Jane’s success not only changed her life but also provided a beacon of hope for her sister, who she plans to help escape a similar fate.

Finding His Voice: How The Law Offices of James A. Welcome Helped Garrett Secure His Green Card
Navigating the complexities of immigration law is a challenge, particularly when dealing with spousal situations. At The Law Offices of James A. Welcome, we offer bilingual services, ensuring effective communication and strong partnerships with our clients.
Garrett, a UK national, faced a significant challenge when his marriage to a US citizen—through which he had obtained a conditional green card—ended in divorce during the two-year condition period. Faced with the possibility of having to leave the US, Garrett turned to us for help.
Our legal team determined that a waiver application was the optimal path forward due to Garrett's non-fault in the divorce. Although such applications often require evidence of abuse, Garrett’s situation involved emotional and psychological abuse, which required sensitive and detailed documentation.
We worked closely with Garrett to help him articulate his experiences, drafting detailed reports and gathering evidence of the abuse he endured. This process not only supported his legal case but also provided him with a therapeutic space to recognize and discuss the abuse, aiding in his emotional healing.
Garrett's role as a local soccer coach and his positive impact on the community further strengthened his case. Supportive letters from players and community members played a crucial role in demonstrating his contributions to society.
Thanks to a strategic blend of legal expertise, empathetic client care, and community support, we achieved a successful outcome for Garrett. He secured his permanent green card, allowing him to continue his life in the US with a renewed sense of self and purpose.
