Immigration lawyers offer Emergency Consultations for Venezuelans in Washington, DC area

WASHINGTON - Jan. 17, 2026 - PRLog -- Recent DHS and USCIS actions have increased enforcement, reviews, and notices affecting Venezuelans across the DMV area.

U.S. immigration law firm International Law Group (ILG) announced today that it is offering rapid-response immigration consultations for Venezuelan nationals and families in the Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area facing increased enforcement, status uncertainty, or expiring immigration protections.

Recent actions and policy changes by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have created widespread concern among Venezuelans, particularly those relying on Temporary Protected Status (TPS), pending asylum applications, work permits, or other humanitarian and employment-based benefits. Increased background reviews, Requests for Evidence (RFEs), Notices to Appear, and referrals to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have made early legal review critical.

"Many Venezuelans are understandably worried about their families, jobs, and futures," said Terik Hashmi, senior attorney at International Law Group. "Our advice is simple: don't panic, but don't wait. Ignoring a notice or guessing about your status can have serious consequences."

To meet urgent demand, International Law Group is offering confidential Zoom consultations, including evenings and weekends, to assess risk, explain legal options, and help clients respond properly to government action.

International Law Group has decades of experience representing immigrants in high-stakes, time-sensitive matters, including cases involving sudden policy shifts, enforcement actions, and humanitarian crises.
