From K1 visa to Green Card, the best advice, the best service, the best attorney.

Gintare helped us from start to finish, it all started with a K1 visa for someone I found online and it bloomed into me traveling to visit her in her country of the Philippines. During our visit together things worked out so well between us that we decided to take the next steps. This step involv...ed Gintare for her immigration expertise. Our goal was to bring her here to the US as soon as possible. Upon discussing my options with Gintare she advised us that the quickest way would be a K1 visa, so taking her advice this is the way we went. She expertly prepared the papers, working with us to obtain many documents, photos, and correspondence. This is a crucial step, as proving your case is a must. She prepared the paper work and sent it off. The initial approval of the visa was very quick, within about 90 days. Next step was traveling to Manila for her interview, many people before us were denied for lack of paperwork or other reasons, and most interviews were taking 15 to 20 minutes. When it was our turn it took less than 5 minutes as every aspect of our case of perfect. Thanks of course to Gintare, all the papers she helped us to prepare were now in Manila. Visa Approved. Jane arrived on a K1 visa on March 11, 2014 and we were married in required time frame of 90 days for a K1 visa. Upon getting married we once again hired Gintare for Jane’s change of status, required for the transition from K1. Within 2 months Jane received her work authorization and her social security card. We filed for change of status in May of 2014 within 1 year Jane received her (Green Card) permanent resident card. Our interview was waived because Gintare provided such great guidance, advice and proof of our case from the start. We owe our new life to Gintare, so many questions, so many concerns, she helped us every step of the way, and she always answered our questions and our concerns. It is a very stressful situation, the laws are very complex and navigating them without expert help is like a minefield. One wrong choice or decision could put your case in jeopardy. I advise anyone whom is having an immigration issue, to contact an expert attorney. Gintare goes far and beyond an expert. We will always thankful for Gintare and her partner Shokry. Also we would like to Thank PJ, for her devotion, caring and expert assistance throughout this entire process. Jane & Wayne

"My Lawyer Gintare Grigaite helped me every step of the way with my case. I am thankful to have her on my side."

I and my wife came across Grigaite & Abdelsayed law office along Broadway in Bayonne. I found the office professional and the signage on their window is very informative that I was able to know right away that they can provide the service that I need. Lawyer Gintare was available right there and then.... I am seeking help to apply for Asylum with my wife. She assisted us promptly and took all the information that she needed. Lawyer Gintare is very knowledgeable and expert with Asylum cases. Very helpful in explaining how the whole process works and on how I will be protected. From the day I stepped into their office I felt like she truly wants to help me get the best care I can. I was dealing with a lot of stress since my country is in civil war, I am feeling hopeless because of the situation of my family and lawyer Gintare has truly helped put my mind at ease knowing I have someone backing me up. I was so impressed with how she accommodated us on our first visit so, I went back to her office and with all my heart, I entrusted her with my lives and my family’s lives, she gave me hope to build my life and pursue my dreams. Lawyer Gintare and her associates was with us every step of the way ensuring that everything was filed correctly and on time and even asking for more in order to have more evidence with which to aid our case, she work diligently with attention to details, write concisely and achieve results is striking. During the process, she advised me to apply for Temporary Protected Status and got approved after 3 months. We were able to get work authorization and Social and lived normally in United States without any fear. We patiently waited for our Asylum interview date and my lawyer followed up constantly with Asylum office in a timely manner. She does her research consistently on my country’s condition and she files it with Asylum office to keep my case updated. Because of her persistence in getting us the interview date, we finally got scheduled by the Asylum office. Lawyer Gintare prepared us for the interview. She made sure that we both understand all necessary details in great depth. I was extremely impressed with her mentoring skills and made me confident as never before. The day of our interview was one of the most important days of my life, and knowing that lawyer Gintare is there with us gave me courage and made me feel that “we are together on this”. My family was my motivation but she was my strength on that day. After a month, the most awaited day has come, I got APPROVED and granted Asylum in United States. This is life changing for me and my family. I am highly impressed with her outstanding excellence in providing top-quality immigration representation. Her DEDICATION, PROFESSIONALISM, INTELLIGENCE and ability to get things done are an inspiration to me. She has the kindest heart I ever known in my life. There are no words to express my gratefulness with having her as my lawyer. The security, protection and peace I had during the entire process are priceless. I never had a second to of worry with anything. Together with my whole family in my country and my wife, from the bottom of our hearts, we sincerely THANK YOU Gintare, we will be forever and ever GRATEFUL and we are dedicating to GRIGAITE & ABDELSAYED law office all the successes that we will achieve in our life forever. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LAWYER GINTARE GRIGAITE IN ANY IMMIGRATION SERVICES YOU MAY NEED. FEES ARE REASONABLE AND IT'S ALL WORTH IT.

The best Immigration Attorney!!! Thank you for making our dreams come true, You are the Top of your game for sure.

My name is Jane, I am the recipient of a K1 visa, my future husband hired Gintare to make it possible for me to come to America and marry him, under a K1 visa. Gintare has worked very closely with us to make sure all paperwork was filed and all requirements were satisfied. We started the paperw...ork around Aug 5th, 2013 and by Sept. 22nd we had approval from the USCIS. I hear of many, many cases taking months and months to complete. Somehow she was able to get this done for us in about 45 days or so. We are so happy with Gintare and the work she did for us. I sent her many emails and she would respond very quickly. We both had so many questions; it is so stressful to understand this process. But Gintare held our hands, assured us all is fine and guided us, taking a very stressful situation and making it a more pleasant experience. She has helped us to understand this long and complicated process. Without her help we could not have done this. She has made our dreams come true; all we have left to do now is renew my passport, take the necessary medical exam and the interview in Manila. I am looking forward to starting my new life with my husband to be. I will apply for the visa in Manila; spend Christmas with my family, then make the trip to America, in early 2014. I thank God and Gintare for making our dreams come true. You are certainly top of your game. I cannot wait to meet you and invite you to our wedding. We are forever grateful to you; for the expert help you have provided us. I certainly would recommend your services in the future. Jane
