The Law Firm of Mary Ann Romero & Associates Recently Featured on Close Up Radio

ALBUQUERQUE, NM, UNITED STATES, April 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- According to Forbes, becoming a U.S. citizen can take anywhere from four to six years. Mary Ann Romero, Esq. is a driven advocate for immigrants’ rights. Living and working at the U.S.-Mexico border, Attorney Romero understands the complex nuances of immigration law firsthand. With a dedication rooted since childhood, Mary Ann has committed her career to championing those navigating the challenging U.S. immigration landscape.

An Ingrained Passion for Advocacy

Born in El Paso, Texas—a vibrant border town adjacent to Mexico—Mary Ann’s journey into law is deeply personal. From an early age, she translated documents for family and community members, witnessing the frustrations of those who could not communicate with government officials or effectively navigate the legal system. “I saw attorneys helping people, and I knew that’s what I wanted to do,” Mary Ann shares. “Our community deserves compassionate support from people who understand their struggles, language, and culture.”

With Spanish as her first language, Attorney Romero has unique insights into her clients’ experiences, making her an empathetic and effective advocate. Her legal career spans five U.S. presidential administrations, during which she has navigated shifts in immigration policies and enforcement with a steady dedication to her clients.

Different U.S. administrations have had varying directives and enforcement priorities, which often causes anxiety among immigrant communities. Under every administration, priority has typically been given to those with negative immigration histories or criminal records. However, with the Trump administration’s broad targeting and heightened rhetoric, a climate of fear and panic has permeated immigrant communities nationwide.

Attorney Romero underscores the additional anxiety faced by mixed-status families and those in limbo during the lengthy and complicated immigration process. “It’s not just legal semantics—it’s people’s lives, families, and futures,” she asserts. Misunderstandings regarding enforcement actions can separate families for years due to extensive waiting periods for paperwork processing and strict quota systems.

Navigating the Complexities of Immigration Law

The global diversity vision of the U.S. faces challenges from a stringent quota system, particularly for countries with significant immigrant populations such as Mexico, India, and China. These nations see much longer wait times for immigration processes, posing a barrier to the U.S.’s foundational melting pot principle. “Congress is aware of the issue, yet changes are consistently postponed, leaving many in prolonged uncertainty,” explains Attorney Romero.

Mary Ann Romero & Associates provides critical support for immigrants across these complicated processes. From family-based sponsorships constrained by strict eligibility categories to employment-based visas caught in bureaucratic tape, the firm offers a crucial service to ensure no detail is overlooked.

Empowering Immigrant Communities

Mary Ann has witnessed, firsthand, the struggles of immigrants while simultaneously recognizing their resilience, family-centered values, and strong work ethic. Her efforts extend beyond legal representation to community education and empowerment. “Reducing exploitation within the workforce and ensuring immigrants are paid fair wages are key aspects of our advocacy.”

By holding employers accountable for unfair labor practices and advocating for policy reforms, the firm is working hard to transform workplaces where immigrants are integral yet often underpaid contributors. “Accountability needs to go beyond the worker—it needs extend to those employing them,” Mary Ann asserts.

Hope Amidst Adversity

Amidst the challenges, Mary Ann witnesses the enduring hope that drives immigrant communities to build better lives. Despite the fear-inducing narratives and political uncertainties, immigrants continue to contribute significantly to the U.S. economy, culture, and society. Attorney Romero emphasizes, “Our role is not just about interpreting laws but about understanding the dreams and goals of every person walking into our office.”

As Mary Ann Romero & Associates continues to grow, the firm remains steadfast in their mission: advocating tirelessly for those who seek better opportunities in uncertain times. Each client is treated not as a case, but as an individual with a unique story, hoping for a brighter and more secure future. “We just have to take one step at a time.”
