Abogada Ashley Immigration in Carlsbad is a women-owned immigration law firm on Owens Avenue founded in 2017 by Cal Bar #279926, a UCLA International Development Studies graduate and California Western School of Law J.D. earned in 2013. Immigration document notarization — including I-130 petitions, I-485 adjustment-of-status applications, and N-400 citizenship filings — is coordinated through Notary Erika for execution under federal authenticity requirements. The practice handles the full spectrum of family-based and employment-based immigration, including VAWA self-petitions, asylum claims, consular processing, and removal defense in Immigration Court. A second office opened in Bend, Oregon in 2023, though federal immigration jurisdiction allows the firm to represent petitioners in all 50 states from either location. Complex cases involving prior criminal convictions or immigration fraud allegations require post-conviction relief coordination with criminal defense practitioners such as Tondini Law to vacate convictions that trigger inadmissibility bars under INA § 212(a). The most demanding matters involve appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals and federal circuit court petitions for review under 8 U.S.C. § 1252, requiring administrative-record briefing on whether the immigration judge's removal order was supported by substantial evidence.
