Cueva Law Firm: A Story of Success
February 4, 2021
“Cueva Law’s mission is simple: ‘We help keep families together,’ Cueva says. ‘We offer honest advice. I don’t sugarcoat anything. I will always tell my clients the truth. I arm them with knowledge so that they can make an informed decision that is best for them and their family.’ And that is exactly what she has done. Cueva Law Firm focuses on family-based immigration, meaning that they assist spouses, children and parents of U.S. citizens in petitioning for their relatives to remain in the United States. They have also helped DACA applicants, crime victims wanting to apply for visas and abused spouses of U.S. citizens with self-petitions. On top of her own relentlessness, Cueva notes that she couldn’t succeed the way she does without her hardworking team, who she says are ‘three of the greatest paralegals of all time’: Alexandra Johnson, Caroline Ramos and Susana Maldonado. And despite the demanding tasks of their day-to-day lives, they don’t forget to put their feet up, play a little and marvel at the incredible work they have accomplished.
“Cueva Law Firm has kept countless families together, from the two sisters from Central America who were scheduled to be deported before Christmas, to the little boy that called Cueva looking for help because his mom had died and his dad had been picked up for deportation. There have even been times when the family Cueva kept together was her own, as when she was able to help her aunt, uncle and sister obtain residency after living in America and meeting with various immigration lawyers over multiple years.”

“When Isabel Cueva was eight years old, she illegally crossed the border from Mexico into the United States.
Ms. Cueva was eventually obtained her residency and US citizenship through her father. ‘He was here in the 1980s and he was able to get residency through the Reagan amnesty. So, if it wasn’t for him, I would be undocumented today.’
As a US citizen, Cueva was able to go to college and get a law degree, which she now uses to help other people navigate the country’s complicated immigration system.”
For more than a year, Castro has been waiting to join his family in the U.S. Their hopes hinge on his receiving an immigrant visa, the first step toward getting a green card and eventually U.S. citizenship.
‘We are always praying and asking God to help us,’ Castro said in a video call from El Salvador. But the line for immigration services is long. With their babies on the way, the couple’s urgency to get Castro legal residency has increased, adding stress to what should be a happy, yet already anxiety-inducing milestone in their lives.
‘We have to be optimistic because that’s the only way,’ Ferre said. ‘Because otherwise it’s just super frustrating and sad.’
UPDATE FROM MS. CUEVA: We were able to get Mr. Castro’s case expedited and he arrived prior to the birth of his twin babies. Our entire office was smiling from ear to ear knowing this sweet little family would be together in one of the most important times of their lives.
