Lisa Scott's Reviews

My husband and I brought a very interesting and muddled mess to Lisa. She approached me with compassion. At our first consultation I had my 2 1/2 year old daughter with me because we did not have anyone available to watch her. She was so kind and really did end up being the most amazing and smart person we have met throughout this INS process.

I personally want to let you know that Lisa is trustworthy, open, and will give you a few possible scenarios. One might not be the most favorable but she will fight to the end to make sure that the outcome is positive.

We are small business owners and she is self employed so we could see eye-to-eye on a lot of the issues surrounding our case and the overwhelming financial impact would be beyond just normal circumstances. She approached our situation as how she would handle it if it were her own situation. That was the best feeling. And the most honest.

Thank you for keeping our family together in the United States and being not only a trusted lawyer, but a friend.

I received my green card about 10 months ago with the help of Scott Immigration Law Firm. They provided excellent service which was prompt and thorough. I never felt the pains of the process. I will especially recommend Lisa since she is very friendly, open and honest and I knew exactly the stage my application was in at any given time.

I have known Lisa for over 10 years. She first helped me get my green card and later my US Citizenship. She came with me for my citizenship interview and made sure that all went well. I entirely trust Lisa and her decisions. As a result, I recommended Lisa to my brother and Lisa is currently helping him with his green card.

I am very happy and honored that I finally have the opportunity to give a review to Ms. Lisa Scott our best ever Immigration lawyer.

Ms. Scott was our Immigration lawyer since my wife and I were studying in college on F-1 student visa. We know her for over 7 years. Lisa helped us to obtain and renew our multiple H1-B’s for many employers. She eventfully helped me to file for my Labor Certificate Application under special Handling and get it approved. We are now a permanent USA resident.

The best thing we like about Lisa as an immigration lawyer is her integrity and honesty. She always says the truth no matter how good or bad is our immigration case.

The very good thing you need to know about Lisa is that she will always tell you the inside facts about your immigration case. We were many times very worry and stressed out about our immigration case, but Lisa was always supportive and very frank and clear about what we need to do next.

When I filled for my I-485 application, the USCIS requested multiple RFE's “Request for Evidence” therefore I end up consulting with many other immigration lawyers to get a second opinion for our complex immigration case. At the end we realized that we wasted our time and money and realized that Ms. Lisa Scott answer to our immigration case was the most honest and smart one.

Ms. Scott is a very knowledgeable about immigration. Over the years she became not only our Lawyer but also our friend. She has a very professional staff at her law firm that that always answer our infinite questions via phone calls, emails, or in person.

Do not waste your time, if you need an honest, experienced, and reasonable fee immigration lawyer, then go to Lisa, she is the best.

Lisa, Thank you very much for all your support and infinite help,

Love and respect,

Rami and Dima

Lisa helped me with my green card application and she and her amployees have been exceptional during the all preocess.

My association with Ms Lisa Scott starts from 2004, when Ms. Scott was our attorney to process my wife's H1-B visa and the dependent visas. We were so impressed, happy and satisfied with her excellent professional competence and sincerity, that when the time for my green card processing came in 2008, I never bothered to even consider a second option, but approached Ms Scott again. I could not get an employer sponsored green card, due to certain employer policies. I discussed my options with her with respect to my background of 17 years of research experience as a plant scientist in my home country.

Ms Scott reviewed my resume thoroughly and identified that I was eligible to apply for GC in EB1 category, without any sponsor, based only on my credentials. This was a big relief to me and my family as I was so concerned about the GC with my employer unable to sponsor me. Ms.Scott agreed to process my green card application and it was filed in April 2008.

We had a lot of correspondence in this regard for getting all the documents ready for filing in EB1. I had to get a number of documents ready and Ms Scott provided me with templates to help me in this regard and was very patient with the time consuming process of getting all the documents ready. She reviewed them very meticulously and approved it.

I should state that I am so happy with her proficiency in the latest immigration rules and regulations and extremely impressed with the perfect professional advices and suggestions she gave me, in this entire process. I should congratulate her for the most modern electronic procedures / software she uses to let us give her all the required data and other documents, with utmost ease. Everything was so well organized with no ambiguity. As a scientist, I value that a great deal. I was also very impressed for the quick response to all my questions with the right answers.

Her experience, knowledge and sincerity draw my best words of appreciation for her. I should also place on record my appreciation for her staff, highly reflecting Ms. Scott's sincerity and professional abilities.

I am proud to say I was a client of Ms Scott and would be happy to recommend her to anyone who needs to successfully get through the complex procedures of immigration.

Thank you Lisa. We appreciate your help- a lot.

3 other attorneys had told me that my case will take 3-5 years. With Lisa Scott I received the green card in seven months from the day we started the process. If the case is hopeless she'll tell you this right away....even if you don't want to hear that. Lisa will not take your money if she's not able to help. I will ALWAYS recommend the legal services she provides.

First class service and response. Even emailed me back with answers when she was on holiday. Can be highly recommended, and doesn't hide behind voicemail.

I have recently used Scott Immigration law firm's cervices to file I-140 NIW and I-485. I-140 was submitted in April 2007, was approved after RFE in June 2008.
Price and guaranteed success:
Most likely when you look around, you will be able to find a cheaper immigration attorney. However, when I was considering different options, the most important factor to me was - the reputation and success rate. From several independent sources I have heard that Lisa Scott is one of the best immigration lawyers in Chicago area. So I decided that in the long run it will turn out to be better to pay one or two thousand more, but to ensure that my case is handled by the best in the business.
She does not give you any guarantee that the case will or will not be successful. I found it very professional, as opposed to those who claim certain amount of guarantee. Also from several people I have heard that she takes the case only if she believes that it has a significant probability to be approved. I personally know couple of people who's cases she did not take, although they were more than ready to pay her for the cervises.
Preparing documents for NIW petition:
It will take you some time and effort to collect all the documents and support letters. Lisa provides you with several templates for the support letters and the questionnaire, which helps you to structure your achievements in a way that USCIS people can see exactly what they look for during decision making process. It will be your responsibility to provide all the information and modify templates for support letters according to your case. Lisa will take care of final corrections and adjustments. When you have all the paperwork ready, you hand it over to her and she finalizes it, indexes and submits to USCIS.
Responsiveness and knowledgeability:
I am a person who likes to have everything organized, and who does things according to the plan. In this respect, it was my pleasure to work with Lisa, who responded to e-mails immediately, and was always able to give me a time-frame regarding to the preparation of the documents. I found her extremely professional and knowledgeable of what she does. Also it is worth mentioning that her assistants are very friendly, helpful and understanding, which I found to be very important in this stressful situation.
Handling RFE from USCIS:
In most of the cases with NIW they will send you the request for additional evidence (RFE). Practically the yes/no from USCIS will depend on your response to the RFE. And again I have to say that she was very good in handling that situation. She reviewed the RFE and decided what exactly we needed to submit. Although I felt like I have enough for the RFE response, she insisted to provide more documents than they requested, in order to ensure the approval. Although I was in a time-crunch, I decided to follow her suggestions and never regretted about it. My case was approved in a week after submitting a response to RFE.
Overall impression:
I highly recommend Lisa Scott immigration firm. She is very knowledgeable, responsive and understanding. She takes the handling of the case personally and ensures that everything, and a little bit more than required, is done for the approval.
It was my pleasure to have business with her.

I received great support working with Lisa Scott. She made everything easy for me to understand and follow up. Whenever I had questions , even when I had to ask the same thing again or when I wasn't sure what to expect I got quick and more than reliable answers. From the very beginning of the process I felt that I am working with somebody I can trust in the machinery process of immigration. A truly professional
good feeling relation.
