I established Bazzi Immigration Law in 2010 because I wanted to help immigrant families stay together.
I established Bazzi Immigration Law in 2010 because I wanted to help immigrant families stay together. I saw a need for dedicated, honest, ethical attorneys to provide fairly priced legal services for Mexican, Central American and South American immigrant families. Our practice is limited to federal immigration law and our attorneys are active members of a nationwide network of immigration attorneys so we are always aware of the latest developments in the law.
Keeping immigrant families together is personal for me because my husband is an immigrant as was my grandfather. My husband and I have two children and we live in a diverse area of Loudoun County, Virginia. Our family, your family, nonimmigrant families, are all part of what makes America special.
Lately there has been a lot of fear in the communities we represent because some Americans have lost focus on the key role immigrants have always played in this country.
We are here to guide you and help you through the immigration court removal process if necessary. I understand the court process because in 2006-2007, I was a law clerk for the judges at the Miami Immigration Court. While at the court, I learned how things work from the inside and use that knowledge to help my clients navigate the court.
I am a member in good standing of the Hawaii State Bar.

Ms.Corona was born to Mexican parents on the White Sands Missile Range located just outside Alamogordo, New Mexico. As a child of a member of the U.S.military, she has lived in different parts of the world, such as Germany, Oklahoma, and El Paso, Texas and has family on both sides of the U.S. border.

We offer a wide range of services designed to keep families together and to assist families seeking asylum in the United States.
Family Immigration and Waivers
We have helped numerous family members of U.S. Citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents immigrate to the United States or normalize their immigration status.
If you are here without lawful status, we can assess your case and inform you if you are eligible for a waiver. We have helped many people complete waivers and navigate the consular process.
If you want to help family members or a fiancé immigrate to the U.S., we can tell you whether that is possible and help you with the process.
If you have fled to the United States seeking safety, we can help you apply for asylum with the asylum office or with the immigration court. The Trump administration has attempted to limit the legal bases for asylum so it is essential that you have the assistance of lawyers who are experienced with asylum cases. We have helped hundreds of clients with their asylum cases and have filed numerous petitions for family members.
Immigration Court Defense
It can be frightening and stressful to be in removal proceedings. However, sometimes this is the only way to obtain lawful status in the United States. We have years of experience with the immigration judges at the Arlington and Baltimore Immigration courts and have assisted hundreds of clients with their cases. Our team can help you navigate the process and stand by you as you fight for your safety or to keep your family together.
U-Visa Cases
If you have been the victim of a crime and have helped the police, you may be eligible for a U-visa, which is a path to permanent residency.
We are happy to help you using all available immigration opportunities. We have assisted military members with family petitions. We have helped many of our clients become citizens. We have assisted clients obtain or maintain DACA.
