Green card change of status

Rachel helped my wife with a change of status to get her green card. The process was straightforward, the first meeting she went over a checklist of items and how she would make a portfolio with all the important documents and pictures highlighted. The process was flawless, we supplied as much as we ...could from the items in the checklist and she took care of the rest with timely reminders of dates and even scanning and sending us documents pertaining to our case electronically. Prior to contacting Rachel we had heard differing opinions on the process, with some lawyers even suggesting my wife had to leave the country and apply for a spouse visa from her country of origin. Rachel helped reassure us that we would not need to be separated and her experience led to a smooth process for something that could have been very stressful. The portfolio she created for our application was so complete that the immigration interview lasted less than 10 minutes. We highly recommend Rachel.

Amazing service! I wish I could give her more stars

Rachel helped my husband and I to go through the process of an adjustment of status for me to obtain my green card. She was very helpful and make sure we understand every step of the process. I would recommend her to a friend!

Highly recommended!!

It is with great pleasure that we recommend to you the Law Office of Rachel Einbund. I was privileged to meet Rachel prior to setting up an actual appointment and she immediately struck me as someone who is passionate about her work and those she represents. Being a member of the LGBT community I k...new our situation was going to be different. We set-up an appointment to meet with her as we had concerns about the processes involved. She is highly knowledgeable, friendly and truly care about those being represented. We met with Rachel a few times and were undecided about a day to marry. Rachel let us know that she would be able to marry us as well. We were very excited by this and set a date. Fast forward to our wedding day, which was exactly April 7 of 2015, exactly one year ago today. I am proud to say that my husband and I were Rachel's first couple that she married, and just to show how passionate and caring she is, she and her staff went out of their way to organize the office in a way that made the setting quite intimate. I am someone who is always worried about organization and processes. Not with Rachel and her staff. They went above and beyond. We had a few friends there as well. Rachel read a beautiful poem that brought tears to our eyes while classical music played in the background. Rachel and her assistant, Hillary, made sure all of our paperwork was in order when it came time to filing the application and also for our marriage interview months later. Her positive outlook eased my worries, and I am someone who always worries. I'm happy to say, everything worked out just as she said it would. If your looking for a highly skilled professional who cares about your situation, then I highly recommend Rachel not only for her immigration legal services, but as someone who can marry you as well. You will not be disappointed. My husband and I will definitely be utilizing her services again in the future. Thank you Rachel and Hillary! We will be forever grateful.

Best Immigration Lawyer

I would strongly recommend Rachel Rari Einbund's to any one who is looking for the best immigration legal services. After seeing many lawyers in the past, some of them giving me no hope, other making me feel intimidated, Rachel an her staff make me feel family, but the best, after seeing the poss...ibility of deportation,after having chosen a wrong legal service in the past. She found the only way possible in my case!! She uses her well-crafted knowledge to personally address your case demonstrating that she possesses the dedication and compassion to meet your needs and expectation . She keeps you updated and reassured whit your case Every step of the way !!
