Jose Sandoval
Asylum Project Coordinator
Jose joined Catholic Charities in May of 2024. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee with a B.A. in Philosophy, while also completing 3 years’ worth of credits towards a Biochemistry degree. To him, working with Catholic Charities is a way to give back to the community. As the son of immigrants, he is very grateful for all the opportunities afforded him and his family once coming to the United States. Now he works to create and provide those kinds of opportunities for others.
Outside of work, Jose likes to play tennis with friends or hop in on a game of pickleball at the local courts. However, if the weather is unfavorable, he likes to play board games or attempt to repurpose old electronics.

How to Shop for a Lawyer
Catholic Charities Has Limited Availability
Unfortunately, our case load is often at full capacity which prevents us from accepting new clients. We strongly urge you to take the time to shop for a good immigration attorney who can give you an honest assessment of your case. To help you get started, we have created a lawyer shopping guide and an immigration attorney referral list.
Additional Resources
When you have to depend on your lawyer to help you navigate and understand your options, it is especially important to find someone trustworthy and competent.
Refugees coming to the United States must make several adjustments, and often have questions about green cards, citizenship, and work permits.
These three immigration mistakes could seriously hurt your chances of getting a green card, or lawfully immigrating to the United States.
