Our entire legal team, composing of immigrants and children of immigrants, understands how important your immigration issue is to you and your family. We know that the immigration process can be difficult and stressful.

Prior to joining the Law Office of Carrie Nguyen, she worked as a Graduate Instructor of French at the University of Texas at Arlington.
Her love for languages, cultures, and traveling led her to study abroad in Paris, France twice. It’s true what they say, “Paris is the city of love.” While in Paris, she met her husband who is Moroccan. Through the help of the Law Office of Carrie Nguyen, he obtained his permanent residency.
Being a first generation Mexican-American and having exposure to other cultures spark Daisy’s passion for immigration and desire to help our clients.

As an immigrant herself, the immigration process is very personal to Maria. Growing up surrounded by people from many different countries of origin, she was always inspired by their stories and deeply moved by their tenacity and the desire to live a better life and achieve the American Dream.
Maria has worked in Human Rights, insurance, and as an English teacher. Maria’s legal training and personal knowledge of Mexico provide a valuable perspective to our team.

Fabiola’s passion for immigration law began at a young age. While growing up, she realized that not all students have the same opportunities that she does. Thanks to her classmates, she grew even more passionate about helping others’ American dreams come true. Fabiola was grateful to be the first in her family to attend college and study abroad in Barcelona, Spain.
