EB-1A Approved in 7 Days + No RFE!

I partnered with Merrill Cohen in July 2023 in the hopes of submitting an EB-1A self-petition green card application. Merrill assessed my case, highlighting its potential while candidly addressing areas requiring bolstering. It took me several months to secure additional examples to support my case, ...and in December 2023, Merrill and her associate, Tanya, began crafting my case. Navigating the USCIS Premium Processing fee hikes in February 2024 was a challenge, but Merrill and Tanya managed the added time pressure, and were extremely responsive throughout the process. The meticulousness with which Merrill and Tanya laid out my case left no doubt in my mind that we had presented the strongest possible case. My EB-1A self-petition case was submitted on February 26th 2024 and was approved with no RFE just a week later, on March 4th 2024. Merrill and Tanya also oversaw my I-485 Adjustment of Status, I-765 Employment Authorization and I-131 Travel Document applications, and were diligent about submitting before additional USCIS fee increases in April 2024, further showcasing their commitment to their clients. When it comes to immigration matters, nothing is guaranteed. Partnering with Merrill and Tanya provided the best chance of success. It is ultimately the responsibility of the individual to take their advice and collaborate with them to present the case in the most compelling manner to a USCIS adjudicator. I look forward to working with Merrill and her team when the time comes to naturalize as a US citizen. Merrill and Tanya, I can't thank you enough!

Merrill is a Master, Proffesional and definitely The Best. Thank you

Merrill is a Master and I've no doubts she is the best in her profession in NYC. She is amazing. But more important: She is an expert in her filed. She knows her work and is able to find solutions for her clients. I got my Green Card approval after 7 months from applying for it. This says everyt...hing. i didn't have to ask anybody to sponsor me, jump into unhealthy marriage or any other weird case. Sometimes I feel stupid listening sad stories of people struggling with their cases. Before I met her I talked to over 15 lawyers. Most of them offered me "no solution" and rest wanted to make quick money on advice that would give me no solution. This is not Merrill. She is worth her price and even more. I feel blessed I met her and definitely will recommend her.

A+ immigration lawyer. EB1- greencard of extraordinary ability

Merrill is truly a professional. I have recommended many times and will continue to do so. I was very lucky to come across her. Merrill will explain to you in detail everything you want to know, and she will consider all options for any action you are thinking of taking. In addition, she always r...esponded to my emails in a timely manner and her staff is exceptional as well. She really knows how to structure and present your case, and this is what makes her so great!
