Experience, compassion, expertise – highly recommended!

Claudia is amazing! My husband and I hired her to guide us through both our K-1 (fiancé visa) application and our adjustment of status to Green Card process. From day one, we knew we had made the right choice in choosing her as our lawyer. She is highly experienced, organized, pragmatic, patient, and... pays close attention to every detail. It's so clear that she is completely dedicated to her clients. She was always very available to meet, speak on the phone, or answer our questions via email, and always did so very promptly and thoroughly. She combined this obvious expertise and professionalism with great personal kindness and compassion in all her interactions with us. I found her rates to be very reasonable as well, especially given the incredibly personalized and responsive service she offers her clients. The whole process of applying for a visa or Green Card for one's family member can be so stressful and nerve-wracking (and I'm the sort of person who is really prone to anxiety in the first place!), but with Claudia as our lawyer we felt confident, supported, and reassured throughout the entire experience. With all the increasing uncertainty around immigration policies in our country, there is no one I would trust more to help me and my family navigate the current situation than Claudia.

Acquiring US Citizenship

Claudia Gregoire was instrumental in helping me obtain my US Citizenship, as an American born abroad (Canada) to a US Citizen father. She possess an in depth knowledge to the laws surrounding immigration. Prior my consultation with Claudia, I had worked with a lawyer who had been helping become a us ...citizen through process of marriage as my wife was an American citizen. However my marriage ended amicably but obtaining citizenship had become increasingly more difficult. After six years without any progress I decided to seek consultation from several other lawyers as I felt I had a claim to US citizenship through my father. After consulting with 2 lawyers, they had both recommended I continue with the I-751 waiver to remove my condition on my green card, filing as a battered spouse through infidelity, overlooking the fact that my father is an American Citizen. On my first consultation with Claudia Gregoire, I explained my situation, and it was then that she confirmed I may have claim to US citizenship based on my fathers time frame of his physical presence in the United States. Claudia explained that we would need to gather Social Security documents from the SSA office to prove his presence, as well as my fathers naturalization certificate and a few other pertinent documents, to submit to the Department of State. After gathering all required documents, Claudia wrote a letter to the Department of State, explaining my case and my claim to Citizenship. While acquiring citizenship born abroad to a US citizen parent(s), is typically accomplished by filing a Consular Birth Abroad with the US embassy in that Country, it was possible as an adult to claim/acquire my US citizenship. The very detail of my fathers citizenship had been overlooked by every lawyer I had previously consulted with, but Claudia had made that very detail the basis of my case, and successfully helped me accomplish in 6 months what I had attempted for nearly 7 years. I thank Claudia and her legal team for their help and support, as without their efforts as well as their knowledge and experience, this process would of been much more difficult, if not nearly improbable. Thank you!
