Our Story
Cruz & Associates was founded in 1998 by Maria Elena Cruz, herself an immigrant who understood firsthand how transformative — and challenging — the journey to American citizenship can be. That personal connection is at the heart of everything we do.
Today our team of 14 attorneys represents clients from over 60 countries. We speak English, Spanish, Portuguese and Mandarin. We are committed to clear communication, honest timelines and outcomes that genuinely change lives.

Questions
Your initial consultation is completely free. During this 30-minute call, we'll review your situation, identify your options, and give you an honest assessment. If we take your case, we'll provide a written fee agreement before any work begins.
Timelines vary significantly by case type. A straightforward H-1B may take 3–6 months; a family-based green card 12–36 months; naturalization 12–24 months. We will give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated at every milestone.
Yes. A prior denial is not the end of the road. We review the denial notice carefully, identify the grounds for refusal, and develop a strategy to address them — whether through an appeal, motion to reopen, or a strengthened new petition.
No. We represent clients worldwide. Many of our clients are in their home countries applying for visas or immigrant petitions. We handle everything remotely through secure video consultations and our client portal.
For your free initial consultation, simply be ready to describe your situation and goals. If you have prior immigration filings, visa stamps, or denial notices, it helps to have those available. We'll guide you on what documents we need once we assess your case.
