Luis Rojo, an immigration attorney based in Dallas, appeared on The Jeff Crilley Show on February 17, 2025. Rojo stated that his firm has seen a significant increase in calls, which he attributed to the policies of the Trump administration, saying that people "want to know where they stand and are now highly motivated." He described his role as "an importer" of people to the United States and said he is passionate about helping clients achieve legal status and citizenship. Rojo discussed the variation in wait times for different immigration categories, noting that for some, such as Indian nationals on employment-based visas, the wait "exceeds life expectancy." He warned against unlicensed practitioners who advertise immigration help, stating that "trusting somebody who has nothing to lose is certainly a dangerous proposition." Rojo described his firm's approach as a "boutique experience" focused on sustainable growth and direct attorney-client contact.
“I think one of the things I'm most passionate about is making sure my clients understand their path to success in life and I want to share with them the gift of the United States. So I can make somebody a resident, a US citizen, that fills me with pride because I know the opportunities that this country offers.”
“It can be as short as a couple years or as long as 30 or in the case of employment-based visas for Indian nationals, the wait time exceeds life expectancy. For example, if you had a brother in the UK, the wait time could be about 14 years; if your brother was Mexican, about 21 years.”
“The first step to combat fear is knowledge. Even if I can't do anything for some callers, my responsibility is to let them know what their rights are and what their situation is so they can make good decisions for themselves and their family.”
“Trusting somebody who has nothing to lose is certainly a dangerous proposition. There are people who advertise immigration help but are not licensed attorneys, and if something goes wrong, it's us licensed attorneys who have to clean up the mess without any consequences for them.”
“Our vision is to provide a boutique experience for clients. We want sustainable growth, not high volume. Clients want to have that contact with the attorney, to rely on us personally, which is why a boutique firm makes sense for many people.”
“With the Trump administration, people want to know where they stand and are now highly motivated. Many have an avenue for legalization but never explored it due to fear. Now that motivation is driving an influx of calls.”
“When an attorney messes up, there are clear consequences like Bar complaints. We stand behind our work because of these consequences, unlike unlicensed practitioners who have no accountability.”
“I consider myself an importer; I'm importing persons to live their lives safely in the United States. It feels incredible to share the opportunity of being in the US, especially for young people who have their whole life ahead of them.”
“The process to become a citizen can vary widely depending on the category and relationship. For nuclear family members like spouses or children, it might take a couple of years, but for extended family, the wait times can be decades.”
Immigration has been all over the news. You can't watch a single television station without seeing something about what Trump is ...
