At Richards and Jurusik, every success story inspires us, but some stories resonate on a deeper level. The journey of the Gonzalez Andino family is one such story – a tale of perseverance, hope, and triumph over immense challenges. We are honored to have played a role in helping this family achieve the stability and security they so desperately needed.
The Challenge: Facing Removal and Seeking Protection
The Gonzalez Andino family came to the United States seeking refuge from severe persecution in their home country. Despite entering the U.S. legally, they faced the threat of removal back to a place where their lives and safety were at risk. After working with another attorney, they decided to turn to us for their asylum case.
Their circumstances were daunting, as they had to prove to the immigration court the gravity of their situation and the inability of their home government to provide protection. The stakes couldn’t have been higher.
The Hard-Fought Asylum Case
Attorney Siana McLean took on their asylum case with unwavering determination. Preparing for their asylum hearing involved meticulous attention to detail, gathering compelling evidence, and crafting a legal argument that reflected the strength of their claims.
After a challenging and hard-fought hearing, the immigration court granted asylum to the Gonzalez Andino family. This victory brought tremendous relief and marked the beginning of a new chapter for them—a chapter of safety and hope.
The Next Step: Green Card Success
Approximately one year after being granted asylum, the Gonzalez Andino family returned to us for assistance with their green card applications. Having built a strong foundation of trust and understanding during the asylum process, we worked closely with them to ensure a smooth transition to lawful permanent residence.
The green card application process requires accuracy, timeliness, and attention to detail. Within seven months of submitting their applications, the Gonzalez Andino family’s green cards were approved, cementing their pathway to stability and a brighter future in the United States.
A Heartfelt Testimonial
The Gonzalez Andino family expressed their gratitude with these touching words:
“So much to be thankful for, we started a blessed year 2025 and this blessing is due to the exceptional and professional work of Attorney Siana McLean, she won our asylum. After a year we continued working with her for our Permanent Residence and within 7 months we obtained it. She is definitely the best lawyer and the work staff is very kind and will always resolve your doubts in the best way.
– Family Gonzalez Andino.”
