New Delhi/Washington: Washington-based immigration attorney Alexandra Lozano has voluntarily surrendered her law licence amid allegations that her law firm submitted false abuse and trafficking claims to obtain humanitarian visas for clients without their knowledge or consent. The case has drawn significant attention in the United States because Lozano’s signature reportedly appears on more than 53,000 pending immigration cases.
Law Licence Surrendered
According to reports, the allegations have emerged through lawsuits filed by former clients, a legal ethics investigation and a fraud probe by US Citizenship and Immigration Services. Lozano has denied all allegations of wrongdoing, maintaining that neither she nor her firm engaged in widespread immigration fraud.

Lozano built a prominent immigration law practice in Washington state, representing undocumented immigrants seeking legal status in the United States. Her firm, Luz del Camino Legal, reportedly handled tens of thousands of immigration cases and gained visibility on social media by promoting faster pathways to legal immigration status.
Following disciplinary proceedings initiated by the Washington State Bar Association, the firm ceased operations in June 2026. Instead of contesting the allegations through disciplinary proceedings, Lozano voluntarily surrendered her law licence.
False Abuse Claims Alleged
According to disciplinary filings and lawsuits brought by former clients, the firm is accused of submitting humanitarian visa applications containing false claims of domestic violence or human trafficking to improve clients’ chances of obtaining immigration benefits.
Investigators also allege that some applications were filed without adequately informing clients about their contents. The allegations further claim that client signatures were duplicated or reproduced on immigration documents without proper authorisation.
The firm is also accused of allowing individuals who were not licensed to practise law in the United States, but were based in Colombia, Mexico and Argentina, to prepare legal documents and advise clients on immigration matters.
Clients Left In Uncertainty
Former employees have additionally alleged that staff members were instructed to exaggerate or fabricate abuse narratives to strengthen humanitarian visa applications. Investigators are also examining allegations that clients were charged exceptionally high legal fees, in some cases amounting to tens of thousands of dollars, for immigration-related services.
Lozano has strongly denied orchestrating any fraudulent immigration scheme. She has maintained that clients were required to review their applications before signing them and that her firm pursued only legitimate legal pathways available under US immigration law.
Legal experts say the case highlights the importance of transparency, informed consent and professional accountability in immigration representation. They note that allegations of document falsification or misleading visa applications are treated seriously because they can affect both applicants’ legal status and the integrity of the immigration system.
The investigations and legal proceedings are continuing, and the allegations against Lozano have not yet been finally adjudicated in court.
