About Diana
Diana Ringer immigrated to the United States from Germany in 2006 and later became a naturalized U.S. citizen. Having gone through the immigration process herself, Diana understands how overwhelming, confusing, and deeply personal immigration matters can be. She founded Ringer Immigration Law to help individuals and families navigate the immigration system with confidence, clear communication, and compassionate guidance. Whether helping a family reunite, assisting a permanent resident on the path to citizenship, or guiding a client through a complex immigration matter, Diana believes every case deserves personal attention and honest advice. Her goal is to make the immigration process more understandable, less stressful, and easier to navigate for the people and families she serves. Because immigration law is federal law, Diana represents clients throughout the United States and around the world. She regularly assists clients before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the Immigration Courts (EOIR). Diana lives in northern Colorado with her husband and three children. Outside of work, she enjoys reading, traveling, exploring the American West, and returning to Germany whenever she has the opportunity. Ringer Immigration Law is a proud member of the Mead Area Chamber of Commerce, the Longmont Area Chamber of Commerce, Colorado W.O.L.F. (Women-Owned Law Firms), and the Colorado Lawyers Committee Immigration Task Force.

FAQ's
Can't I just do this work myself?
Each year the U.S. government denies over half a million immigration applications because applicants file the wrong forms, omit documentation, pay incorrect fees, or make other avoidable mistakes. Don't risk denial, longer processing, loss of fees, emergency refilings, loss of status, or even deportation.
How long does it take to process a citizenship application?
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) estimates the processing time of citizenship applications, once received, at 7.5 to 8 months.
How long is a sponsor financially responsible for an immigrant spouse?
Sponsorship may last until the sponsored spouse becomes a citizen, has worked at least 40 quarters (10 years) in the United States, has died, leaves the United States, or receives a new grant of adjustment.
Can I work or study while my application is pending?
You may be able to work with employment approval documents (EAD) via an I-765, application for employment authorization. You may be able to study in the United States pending your application under an F-1 student visa. Other avenues may be available as well. We can help you determine which of these options might apply to your unique circumstances.
