USCIS Alert 2026: If Alexandra Lozano or Luz Legal Handled Your Case, Act Now

An immigration attorney has issued an urgent public service announcement targeting anyone whose case was handled by Alexandra Lozano — who has since been disbarred — or Luz Legal. The warning comes amid growing concerns that affected clients may be unaware of critical steps needed to protect their immigration status and pending applications. The first and most pressing action recommended is filing a change of address with USCIS through two separate methods. This is particularly important because USCIS notices, requests for evidence (RFEs), and appointment letters are mailed to the address on file. If a previous attorney's address is listed — or if the applicant has moved — critical correspondence could be missed, leading to denials or abandonment of cases. For EB-3 applicants and others in employment-based categories, missing an RFE or biometrics notice can have severe consequences, including automatic denial of a pending I-485 (Adjustment of Status) application. USCIS does not typically grant second chances when deadlines are missed due to address issues. The attorney's advisory highlights the broader risk of using unvetted or unlicensed immigration representatives. Disbarment means an attorney has been officially stripped of the right to practice law, and any filings made after disbarment may be legally problematic. Clients should consult a new, licensed immigration attorney immediately to review all documents submitted on their behalf. Anyone who used Alexandra Lozano or Luz Legal is urged not to wait. Updating your address through USCIS's online portal and via certified mail, and obtaining a copy of your full immigration file, are essential first steps before your next deadline passes.
