Born in Cali, Colombia, South America, Eliana Phelps brings a multicultural background to her practice. She obtained her law degree from the prestigious Franciscan San Buenaventura University in Cali, Colombia. From the beginning of her career, Mrs. Phelps demonstrated a strong passion for practical experience in addition to theoretical knowledge, excelling in her academic studies and earning recognition from peers and professors for her exceptional analytical and writing skills. Prior to migrating to the United States, she worked for multinational and local law firms, further honing her expertise.
Mrs. Phelps's journey as an immigration lawyer began well before she was admitted to practice law in the United States at the federal level. As an immigrant herself, she deeply understands the shared dreams and aspirations of millions of individuals who come to the United States seeking a better life and pursuing the American Dream.
In recent years, the landscape of immigration laws has undergone significant changes, with many existing reliefs for foreigners being eliminated and stricter security measures implemented. Mrs. Phelps recognizes the importance of thorough analysis and interpretation of statutory provisions and case law decisions in order to effectively represent immigrants before administrative agencies responsible for enforcing immigration laws.
