Ann Arbor isn’t just a city where I practice — it’s part of my own story. I spent part of my childhood here, and years later I returned to earn my law degree in this city, at Ave Maria School of Law. Ann Arbor is where my path into the law began, so helping its families and newcomers navigate the U.S. immigration system means something to me personally, not just professionally.
I know what it takes to put down roots and build a life in this community, and I bring that same care to every client I represent — whether you’re a student, a professional settling into the area, or a family working to stay together.
At Alo Legal, attorney Ammar Alo personally directs the strategy and oversight of each case, while a trained support team handles day-to-day document preparation and case updates. That means your legal decisions are guided by an attorney — and the process still keeps moving.
We help families in three languages: Ammar works with clients in English and Arabic, and our Spanish-speaking staff assist in Spanish — so you can understand every step of your case comfortably. We prepare thorough, well-documented cases and explain the pathway that fits your facts; we don’t promise outcomes before reviewing them. Read Ammar’s full bio →

Most families come to us at one of a few moments. Here’s where you likely fit — and where to learn more.
Whether your spouse is already in the U.S. or waiting abroad, we handle marriage-based green cards — through adjustment of status or consular processing — and K-1 fiancé visas. A common worry is documenting a genuine relationship; we help you prepare a clear, well-organized filing.
We help U.S. citizens and permanent residents petition for spouses, parents, children, and other qualifying relatives — and guide relatives abroad through National Visa Center and consular processing, including DS-260 preparation. Eligibility and timelines differ by category, and we’ll explain what applies to you.
When you’re ready to become a U.S. citizen, we assist with naturalization and, where relevant, certificates of citizenship. We review your eligibility, help you prepare your application, and get you ready for the interview and civics test.
Already have a green card? We handle renewals and replacements, removal of conditions on marriage-based residence, and re-entry permits for residents who travel for an extended period. Some situations need more than a renewal — we’ll tell you honestly if there’s an underlying issue to address.
We also assist DACA recipients with renewals, employment authorization, and advance parole travel. DACA → · Advance parole →
