– Attorney Yasmin Voglewede
Yasmin was first introduced to immigration law when she was invited to volunteer at the Department of Immigration of Catholic Charities of San Antonio. It was there where she realized she had a strong passion for helping the immigrant community, specifically asylum seekers and victims of crime. Their stories made her realize how strong and resilient they were, but also, how necessary it was to show them compassion and care.
Yasmin was subsequently hired by Catholic Charities and worked there for 10 years, until she decided to move on and opened Elvora Law Firm. By starting Elvora Law Firm, Yasmin hopes to continue to serve the immigrant community and not just continue her focus on asylum seekers and victims of crime, but also assist with family reunification and citizenship.
When she isn’t fighting for immigrant rights, Yasmin likes to spend time with her dog, crochet, and support her favorite sports team like the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Go Irish!

MY PRACTICE AREAS
IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY SERVICES
We know the path to citizenship is not always smooth. Some make the trek on their own. Others get stuck along the way. No matter where you are on your journey, we take pride in helping you navigate through unfamiliar territory.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Victims of domestic violence and crime are some of the most vulnerable population of immigrants without status.
FAMILY VISAS
The US allows the opportunity for US citizens and Legal Permanent Residents to petition their family members for their green card.
TOURIST VISAS
For family members wanting to visit the US for the first time, we can help with getting the tourist visa.
USA RESIDENCY
Renewing your green card is simple. It can be done online or on paper. The government fee is $455. A fingerprint fee may also be required.
USA CITIZENSHIP
Become a citizen of the United States. Why? Once you become a citizen, you get the privilege to vote in elections. You’ll have better access to healthcare, and you no longer have to worry about getting deported.
WORK PERMITS
We also do renewals of work permits, DACA renewals, applying for travel documents, and getting parole in place for individuals with former and current military family members.
