We hired Amy "just in case" we might need her support in my wife's naturalization application. I was concerned about the distance, with Amy in Boston and us filing in DC. We had time constraints, and what could have been a disaster was handled very smoothly by Amy. She contacted the right people and ...orchestrated the process extremely well. I strongly recommend Amy on her professionalism, knowledge, honesty and trustworthiness.

Our journey to a permanent residency was highly complicated. We needed the J1 waiver of the Exchange Visitor Two-Year Home-Country Physical Presence Requirement rule, as well as facing a few other crucial obstacles. I met 6 Boston immigration lawyers before coming to Amy Wax, but I had a bad gut feel...ing about each of these - Some felt SO sleazy or impatient, didn't care in an honest way, and a few were so pessimistic which left me frightened. Amy was the most sensitive and smart from the very first minutes, relaxing and optimistic while very realistic and cautious and grounded. And clear. Since almost each lawyer expresses a different opinion I can not definitely say, looking back, that Amy was right and the most accurate. Then, she was reachable and willing to answer questions after the meeting as well. My gut feeling was clear, and we went with her. That was such a smart decision. Amy cracked every obstacle on the way so professionally, prepared our files and petitions, had the best creative solutions to problems, and always on time to apply as quick as possible to the next stage. The wonderful Paulo Silva at her office is a huge asset, he was always so smart and reachable and endlessly making an effort to help quickly. Along the way I was exposed to the other sides of Amy's work, her involvement in important causes, and her academic work and teaching, which made me appreciate her even more. I already sent a few friends and colleagues to Amy's firm for EB1, for Adjustment of status, and for just ordinary info-pass inquiries as well. Everyone is always so happy and thankful.
