Services
Immigration has been a driving force behind America's emergence as a world leader since the country's inception. At Rodriguez Bell & DiFranco Law Office, LLC, we firmly believe that immigration continues to play a significant role in building a stronger America. We assist individuals in Columbus and surrounding suburbs, as well as in greater Cleveland, with a broad range of immigration matters.
Family-based immigration refers to the process of family members attempting to receive visas and the right to legally and permanently live in the United States. Two family members are typically involved in this immigration process. The first is a petitioner; a U.S. citizen or permanent resident who wants to sponsor a foreign family member (beneficiary) for a visa or green card.
It is hard to conceive of a situation that causes more panic than the threat of deportation. It crushes dreams and tears families apart. If you or a loved one faces deportation proceedings, it is critical to enlist the services of an experienced immigration attorney as soon as possible. The immigration lawyers at Rodriguez Bell & DiFranco Law Office, LLC, provide aggressive legal defense against deportation.
For many immigrants, the United States not only offers great opportunity, but also refuge from persecution or threats to their life that they would face in their own country. To qualify for asylum status in the United States, an applicant must meet the definition of refugee as stated in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
In today's global marketplace, companies of all sizes conduct business around the world. Recruiting talent has become a global endeavor as well. Employment brings thousands of immigrants to the United States every year. The immigration lawyers at Rodriguez Bell & DiFranco Law Office, LLC, assist businesses and individuals with work-based visas, labor certification, investor visas and petitioning for permanent residency or citizenship.

Prior to making the decision to work with Jessica my husband and I met with multiple lawyers. With every other lawyer we met with we got the “ick” feeling as if they had no genuine concern for us as people. After meeting with Jessica we immediately knew she was the lawyer we wanted to work with.
From day 1 she was always honest, genuine, and straightforward. Jessica is, with a doubt, highly knowledgeable and experienced. Her guidance and patience during an incredibly difficult process was a huge factor in keeping our sanity. She was with us every single step of the way, never hesitating to

You will NOT find better immigration attorneys in Ohio. Jessica and Brian are very skilled and knowledgeable litigators, but they are also compassionate and understanding with their clients. I refer all my clients that need outstanding immigration attorneys to Rodriguez Bell & DiFranco Law Office. Honesty and reasonable rates are their trademark!

Jessica Rodriguez Bell has been a life saver for our family! We first went "shopping" around for lawyers in 2009 , and she was the most up front, honest, and helpful one we found. When we finally managed to start the process she patiently walked us through every step and answered all of our (MANY) questions. She was always very quick to answer my emails too, despite her busy schedule. Thanks to the help of Rodriguez Bell & DiFranco Law Office, LLC, my family can now have peace of mind. God bless them!

Rodriguez Bell & DiFranco Law Office are one of the best I believe. I was fortunate to have Brian DiFranco represent me. Together we road this rollercoaster I thought it was never going to end. Despite all the paperwork and all the appointments he always was honest with me. That's what I like about him his honesty and speaking to you with the truth. I would recommend him to anyone that is in Immigration procedings he will represent you with professionalism and knowledge he has in the field.Mine was a success with him yours can be a success as well.

Brian and Jessica are great at what they do. In 2012 Brian helped my dad when he was arrested by ICE right outside our house. Later he helped me through the DACA application, and has helped me with every renewal.
Now Jessica is helping 3 family members who were also arrested by ICE.
They're patient and knowledgeable, and have always answered all of our questions, as far fetched as they might be.
