Got my green card thanks to Cheryl!

Cheryl is an INCREDIBLE lawyer. I had a very intricate situation where I left one employer for another before receiving my green card and had lost my H1B (long story). I went to two lawyers before seeing Cheryl who both gave me horrible advice including that I would have to leave the country. I th...en went to Cheryl, and she came up with several options that both other lawyers had not thought of at all. She was very intelligent, always willing to take a call from me, and extremely good at what she does. Within 1 mont Cheryl sorted out my status issues, and within 6 months I received my green card! Chreyl is Legit and highly recommended.

Most genuine and reliable lawyer!!!

Before I met Cheryl, I had seen many immigration lawyers who all seems to care more about getting paid than helping me with my situation. Cheryl was different from the moment I met her, I felt safe and in good hands especially when she told me she is not here to take advantage of my situation. In our... initial meeting, she did not start talking about the cost of helping me but rather accessing the best way she can help me out with my complicated immigration case and I loved that she had honest advise but most importantly she was not pushy. Best choice I ever made is to have Cheryl as my attorney with her expert guidance and help, my long immigration process was a success. I remember how difficult my life was without an identity but Cheryl and her knowledgeable office staffs were able to get me DACA which gave me some hope to work and drive but it did not end there, they also help me get my green card recently and now they gave me not only hope but freedom. As they say in my Asian culture now I have "wings to fly"! I can't thank Cheryl and her caring staff enough for all that they have done for me!!! Cheryl and her legal assistants are people that truly cares about helping illegal immigrants. I would 100% refer her to anyone who needs her legal expert advise on immigration help!

You want Cheryl in your corner.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cheryl and her team. My husband lived in NYC undocumented for 5 years. We finally decided to do the process of adjusting his status which included filing a stateside waiver so that he could stay with us until his appointment with the consulate. Michelle d...rafted the most detailed hardship waiver, which by far exceeded my expectations and was worth every penny. In the middle of the process, my husband got arrested and taken by the police for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Cheryl called me herself at 8pm and assured me everything would be fine. She stood by us as this arrest delayed our process by 6 months. Finally, when my husband's record was clear, we did the final process of appearing for the interview in my husband's home country. Cheryl prepared us for what they would ask and how to answer. We went prepared, and had we not brought pictures (Cheryl's recommendation) we may not have won the immigration officer over. I cried when he said, "You guys are too cute, you need to go home together." Just when I thought we were in the clear, my husband's visa to come back home was delayed for unknown reasons. I was home with 2 kids by myself in a position that I never imagined. We had been approved and suddenly our case went into "administrative processing" which some people are in for at least 6 months, some years. Cheryl didn't abandon us. Her office called the consulate twice a day until the issue was resolved. I can't say enough about Cheryl and her staff. They are incredible. When you are in a scary situation like immigration and possibly facing removal of your loved one, she is the one you want on your side. I am so glad we used her office to help. Now my husband is a legal permanent resident and our family can progress as we have always dreamed. We could not have done it without Cheryl and her team.
