Yo Hortensia Jiménez vine por primera vez con Familia América en Marzo del 2011 mi impresión fue que no tenía mucha confianza en que no iban a dar la Visa U. Nosotros fuimos víctimas de un crimen. Estábamos inseguros porque era mucho dinero lo que nos iban a cobrar y no sabíamos si íbamos a calificar para la visa U. Mi esposo fue el que vino por primera vez. Después yo vine me sentía insegura por la razón que era mucho dinero y sino calificaba para la visa U iba a perder el dinero y tenía miedo que no fueran a deportar cuando fui con la abogada ella nos ayudo a conseguir el Certificado de la Visa U, eso tardo aproximadamente un año para obtenerlo. El proceso no ha sido rápido pera hasta ahorita han logrado lo que nos han dicho.
Le doy gracias a la abogada Gloria, Abby y Jackie porque mi U-Visa fue aprobada ahora estoy esperando la de mi esposo que no tarda en llegar. Les doy gracias a los abogado y los recomiendo porque so de confianza y no tengan miedo como yo que nada va a pasar porque ayudan y todo sale bien.
Muchísimas Gracias,
Hortensia Jiménez

My family and I immigrated to the U.S. from Germany 15 years ago. My family and I have struggled to get my work permit and failed to get my drivers privilege card because we didn’t have the necessary documents. American family helped me out a lot pushing us in the right direction. there was a lot of hassle and took along time for me to get the proper documents I need, but I thank the good people here for staying with me and helping me with all my questions and documents. thank you American family for your hard work and dedication.

I am writing this review regarding our family’s experience with Familia America. I met my wife about 10 years ago fell in love and married her. We combined our families and within 8 years of marriage we now have 10 grandchildren. Imagining the repercussions of her without proper proof of legal status here in the United States was always a huge concern to us both. She was heartbroken constantly worrying about losing her children and grandchildren who reside here. Her past was enveloped by constant abuse by one who should be the protector. She came here for the hope of a new beginning.
Our daughter for some reason felt she needed to move forward and pursue possible options for acquiring legal status. She made contact with Familia America and we came in and met Gloria. From the very beginning their professional abilities were apparent. We met Abby and were very impressed by her knowledge and understanding as to the series of event which would need to take place in order for them to be considered legal here in the U.S. We had several meetings with Abby which concluded with all of the neccesary forms and applications present and in order. The application was then sent in and the waiting period began.

I applied for my step son Alexander Villa’s green card through Familia America, LLC. It was a long process. But as it started all questions were answered in a proper way. Also as we proceeded to the consulate appointment in Cuidad Juarez. We had questions when we were in Ciudad Juarez, but as we called Familia America they were there for us. We are so happy and do feel that they do their job right not just because it is a job. They do it to help and from the heart. I do recommend anyone that is applying. Go to Familia America. Thank you Gloria Cardenas and Abby Van Sice. So thankful for what you have done for us.

If you are reading this please do not hesitate to call Gloria Cardenas I assure you that they will help you with the assurance and professionalism. They will help you.

I can't even begin to tell everyone about Familia America’s A++ service any day in my book. My journey finally ended last Friday [January 2013] after 24 long years and lots of lawyers and scammers. Gloria C. and her staff where able to get me and my wife Permanent Residence status where everyone else had failed and was able to process our case under special circumstances no other lawyer ever put in the table. It was always a waiting game or pay this or do that.
Me and my wife are living proof of their awesome work. 24 years guys and she came in and in less than a year got me legal status in America. Good work Familia America. A place where you can call and they even know you by name by your own voice.
Thanks once again guys, you guys are the best in my book any day.
The Naranjo family Thank you XOOOOOOO.

My name is Neal. I was on the verge of deportation due to a removal warrant from the judge. I was in jail waiting to be deported back to my country of Tonga. My wife hired Gloria to see if she could bail me out of my bad situation. Gloria worked her butt off and took care of my removal warrant. Gloria took care of the problem just in time, and she saved my life. Now I am living in America with my family because I hired Familia America to take care of my immigration status for me. I strongly recommend Gloria to anyone that needs help with their immigration status.

Thank God Utah Immigration Attorney Gloria Cardenas "Knows What She is Doing!" Gloria Cardenas Immigration Law Firm Gives Hope. This is not an advertisement and I chose to write about Gloria Cardenas because I feel that the world needs to know about what she stands for. When talking about Gloria Cardenas, my son says, "She knows what she is doing!!!!!!!!"
Many mothers have gone through what I went through, giving up everything to come to America for a better life for their children. When something tragic happens to fracture that hope the fear to return to the very same situations that led to the move to America for family stability magnifies and hope dwindles. I was told that I lost immigration status due to computer errors. My family started experiencing severe hardships as a result. The perception of the American Dream became foggy. When my son encountered ICE about 4 months ago, the experienced was a death in the family. Unfortunate experiences with some Utah immigration laws made it difficult to decide whether or not to even start looking for an immigration attorney for him.
Some immigration attorneys are political workers who deal their clients according to political correctness in their states. Some immigration attorneys are willing to try but do not have the experience demanded in complex immigration issues. Some immigration attorneys forget that they are employed by their clients. Some immigration attorneys are willing to collect money even when they know they cannot help their clients. Some immigration attorneys go to all extends to demean clients.
I have news and a miracle. I met with Gloria Cardenas in person and watched her aggressively defend my son. First she starts with the love of a mother, which in my view sets her apart in many ways. Tears roll down my face when I think of myexperience to meet one more person and mother who loves my son. Thank you, Gloria. I know many people who have fears that Utah was or is infected by Arizona HB1070 and other surreptitious political deals to pull people over while having dark hair or bad grammar. Gloria will challenge any claim that stands in front of her client. She unravelled a knot that was tied in the state courts that would have potentially disqualified my son from Deferred Action and that would have potentially marred my son's legal records for life to his disadvantage.
I was blessed to have my son represented by Gloria. I am thankful that my family unity is being strengthened through Gloria's intellect, experience and empathy. Her staff knows that immigrants have been torn by the system and they embrace everyone who walks into their office as though they were family. They truly are Familia America....
Gloria Cardenas is the attorney I wish I knew when I landed in JFK in 1998 because first she understands all families have been created by God and she uses her skills to enhance that purpose. Please join me and my family in celebration of one of the best attorneys in Utah, who believes in her clients, Gloria Cardenas at Familia America. If you want to tell Gloria "Thank You" for her love for family unity and believe that they too deserve a peace of mind find her here. If you want to thank her for using her God-given talents to bless lives, find her here: http://www.familiaamerica.com

My name is Teresa and I was a victim of domestic violence. I was referred to the Group of Familia America by Holly Cross Ministries and since the first time I came here I knew and felt like they were here to help me. They explain everything to me and always kept in touch with me. I got to deal with Gloria and April, but I know that Abby was following my case every day until I got the good news of my U-visa been approved. She always game me positive thoughts even when I was nervous and loosing hope. I’m so thankful to Familia America for helping me with my case. I’m so happy that my happiness is so hard to explain right now. I have no words to explain how happy and thankful I am I guess I can only feel it. I knew my life was going to change since that violent relationship was over but now everything else will change too I will be able to have more opportunities a better job without having to worry about my legal status.
Thank You Familia America

"I came to open a case with the Lawyer Gloria Cardenas . At the beginning I thought that they were only giving me false information and that I was not able to apply for my Visa because I thought it was going to be a fast processes and the Lawyer would not hurry to resolve our situation. Months and days passed and when we least expected we received a phone called that our Visas had arrived, and at that moment all of our doubts and frustration towards Gloria Cardenas disappeared. I realized that that she is a great Lawyer and if in the near future I would need any other services from her I would come with no doubt and I would recommend her to other families and friends that are in the need of a Lawyer.After all my frustration there is peace and calm and now I am very happy because I finally get to accomplish all the things and dreams I had in mind. I give many thanks to the Lawyer for making this dream come true and to all the people that help her. "

"I’m going to tell you my experience with Familia America. Well I came to the office to see if they could help me apply for my Visa, I admit it I came a little frustrated that day thinking that everything is easy and simple but we all know that it isn’t. I came in January of 2011 and well they submitted everything and thank god and Family America right now I am jumping of joy! I am very nervous and excited that I can’t even write this testimonial because today April 17, 2012 my worries are finally gone. I received my Visa and I have no words to explain how grateful I am. After a heavy storm there is calm. I really recommend Familia America because they know what they are doing and they don’t get frustrated like I did. I thought that they were not working on my case but they are doing everything that’s possible to do what they can. All I could say is thank you very much and to put all your faith and trust in them. "
Thank you,

"A few years back I was a victim of a crime and do to that I was told that I could apply for a U-visa since I was undocumented, so I was referred the offices of Familia America Law Firm when I went there and talked to a lawyer I was a Little skeptical about the whole situation specially that I got a little frustrated because I had a few bumps in the road throughout the whole process. I waited for ever to received my U-visa and I even had a feeling that I was not going to be approved. Once I received a call from my lawyer saying that I was approved. I cried and jumped of excitement I couldn’t believe it. I am so grateful and thankful to the offices of Familia America who are Gloria Cardenas & Abby Van Sice I can say that If I was ever to need their services I will be glad to see them again."
