The Alfaro Law Group is closely monitoring the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As the situation continues to change rapidly, our top priority remains the health, safety, and well-being of our staff, clients, and their families. We are planning for several contingency scenarios and taking decisive, informed action to limit the spread of COVID-19 while continuing to provide the same level of excellent legal services.

Our office remains open and operational, but we are suspending in-person consultations and most client meetings, from March 16 to March 30, 2020. During this time, we will offer telephonic and video consultations. And for our existing clients, we will continue to make use of our online Client portal, “MyCase”, where we can manage documents, signatures, payments and general case communication. Please call us if you need help accessing the portal. During this time, we thank you in advance for your patience in responding to your general case status inquiries, as some of our staff may be working limited hours and remotely.

For urgent or time-sensitive client matters, we may schedule in-person meetings, but we ask that you refrain from attending any scheduled meetings if you have COVID-19 symptoms , have traveled to one of the CDC designated high-risk countries , or have been in close physical contact with anyone experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. As always, we recommend you monitor the CDC website for ongoing updates and tips on how to stay healthy and be prepared.

For clients with pending immigration court hearings, please take note that the Immigration Court has postponed ALL NON-DETAINED IMMIGRATION COURT HEARINGS for the next four weeks (March 17 – April 10, 2020). Important: This only applies to out-of-custody “Master Calendar Hearings,” not “Individual Hearings” (unless further notified). All other cases will move forward as scheduled. You may verify your court date by accessing the EOIR Automated Case Information system. We urge you to call us if you have any specific questions regarding your case.

As of March 18, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has suspended routine in-person services until at least April 1 to help slow the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). USCIS staff will continue to perform duties that do not involve contact with the public. However, USCIS will provide emergency services for limited situations. Please call our office if you have a pending interview or appointment with USCIS and you have any questions or concerns. Please see the official USCIS Response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) , for more details.

We believe that these are the appropriate measures to protect the health of the community, which should be everyone’s #1 priority. We will continue to provide regular updates to keep our clients informed of additional measures. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Call or text: 832-717-2872. Email: aalfaro@alfarolawgroup.com. We’re here to help.

Sincerely,
