The liaison linked the couple with Jose Campos, the president of the D.C. metro chapter of the Salvadoran American Chamber of Commerce, who got them set up with an accountant, Roberto Lopez, who led them to Silvie Gallardo, the immigration attorney who would find a novel solution to securing their stay while they set up the business.

Gallardo does not practice in court.

They weren’t a number to me.”
