Shari Lisa Moidel

I want to give the best comment for Ms. Moidel who solved my case in record time. I met Ms. Moidel when she was the main speaker for an Immigration seminar at the United Nations. My case was very complex because I had my US Citizenship and renounced to it due to my job. Ms. Moidel's expertise in th...is area of immigration law was extremely helpful. I retired 2 months ago and I had to reapply for legal residence. I am eternally grateful for her excellent service. She was great! Was willing to accommodate my late work schedule. She was extremely thorough, explaining every step of the process and even we were at her office for over 2 hrs at the initial consultation. We received the absolute highest quality of professional service we could ask for. Ms. Moidel gives personal service and responds promptly to messages. I remember one day that she was in Canadá and she just came to New York to prepare my case and she made me feel that I was important to her and she really was caring. Everything came out exactly the way she said. There were no surprises, no hidden costs or fees and everything went smoothly. I received my Green Card in 3 months. I do not hesitate to recommend her.

My wife and I highly recommend Shari Moidel if you need an immigration lawyer. It’s a complicated process, and she expertly guided us through every step. We are a lesbian couple. I am an American citizen living in NYC, and my wife is Canadian. With Shari’s help, my wife got her green card in under... a year. We are pretty smart, but we would have never been able to achieve this result on our own. Our immigration application was so thorough—thanks to Shari’s guidance—that we were not asked to send any additional proof of our relationship. She made our case swiftly and efficiently. What we especially appreciated was how caring, patient and available Shari was. My wife was stressed out because she was the one who had to meet with immigration officials for the interview. (My wife applied from Montreal and did her interview at the U.S. consulate there.) Shari talked her through the interview process and gave her a clear sense of what to expect and how to prepare, and much to my wife’s relief, it all played out as Shari described. We love Shari Moidel!!! (Please note: I am a writer and only wanted to use one exclamation point, but my wife insisted on three.)

Shortly after DOMA was struck down my husband and I began looking for an immigration lawyer to help us through the process of bringing him here to the US. We received a list of lawyers in our area from Immigration Equality and consulted with two immigration lawyers before seeing Ms. Moidel on an int...erview on NY1 and then meeting her in person. She is an absolute professional and made both my husband and I feel at ease as she helped us through the immigration process, knowledgeably answered all questions we had and ultimately guided us to a successful outcome. We appreciate all Ms. Moidel has done for us.

My partner and I are a bi-national couple who hired Ms. Moidel 4 years ago. She was helpful in outlining our then available options and expeditiously moved to help us with our Canadian filing. My partner had to return to the country of his birth after his employer terminated his position and his H1B ...visa in June 2012. Following the issuance of a writ of certiorari by SCOTUS for Windsor, she provided timely updates and reviews of various outcome implications. With the June 2013 decision, she worked with us to pivot and prepare our USA K1 (fiance) filing. She was organized, thorough, helpful, and responsive in the assembly and review of our submission. Thanks to her assistance, we were able to file our case with all supporting documentation summarizing our 17 year relationship by mid August. We had no requests for additional documentation or corrections. Our case proceeded basically exactly according to the timeline she relayed. Her counsel for the interview, spot on. Our fiance visa was approved in March, followed by return and our marriage. Shari was ready with the next steps, filings and advice for our joint interview. Green card in hand, we now may never need be separated again. Throughout Shari has been prompt, professional, and personable. Her fees are reasonable and fair. We recommend her unreservedly.

We met with Shari for the initial consultation and decided to go forward with her for our same sex green card petition. Shari was patient and responsive and put us at ease. The best thing about her services is that she is easily contactable and you always get an answer to any question. Shari, however... excelled at the green card interview, she was great. She sat with us and listened intensely during our interview, we felt safe with her taking care of us. Our GC petition was approved, thank you Shari.
