Best Attorney in NYC!!!! K1-VISA Process

Where do I even start?? I guess I’ll start with the fact that USCIS provided me with the wrong Receipt number for my K1-Visa! At that time I was pregnant with my son awaiting for a response from the USCIS. Thankfully Attorney Glen Raj immediately contacted the Deputy Director of Constituent Services ...at Congressman Eliot L. Engel (16th District) office once he realized the process was taking unusually longer than expected. Mr. Raj was able to get my case expedited and have the correct receipt number emailed to us within 1 week. Due to my delicate state, Mr. Raj was constantly in contact with the USCIS and the Congressman’s office working day and night to get my fiancé here. And I know this for a fact because he would email me even after hours for additional information that was needed for my case. After exactly 12 months of waiting, my fiancé is finally on his way to America! I know, if the USCIS didn’t delay my case, my fiancé would have been here within 6 months with help from Mr. Knowledgeable Glen Raj! He truly is an awesome, reliable and caring attorney!! Most attorneys just want your money, but Mr. Raj cares about his clients. I recommend him 100%!

Professional, knowledgeable, courtesy, respectful and friendly

My husband's immigration case seems to have came with every possible frustrated situation anyone can tolerate, however, with patience, diligence, well informed information, unerstanding of the sensitivity of the case, and a very positive attitude Mr. Raj has sailed my husband's immigration matters to... the safety of the American shores. Thank you Mr Raj for standing so firmly behind my husband's immigration case. Without your dedicated efforts, it seems almost impossible to finally get my husband in America with me. Thank you. Mrs Kushum

Not Only an Excellent Attorney but wonderful character

First of all i should say that Glen is more than an Attorney before he take my case I had lots of problems mostly because of overwhelming of immigration and my old case was suspended it was a dramatic one. Glen was always there for me, i could call him anytime even in holidays, he is more like a frie...nd than an attorney and after past five years he is one of my close friends, he won't let you alone and is with you through every step and even afterward, he is caring and lovely and he does everything he can beyond what he should do. i also have to mention Glen's Assistant "Ana", she is helpful, caring as much as Glen. i never imagined that they become a part of my family and i hope one day i can return all the favors they did for me.

Excellent Immigration Services

First of all I would like to say a big THANK YOU! My husband and I really appreciate all the hard work that you put into our case. Now my husband and I can finally relax and enjoy our life together without any worries. You were very patient with us and took your time to explain everything to us in ...detail. You were always there to answer any questions that we had. And when it came time for us to go on our interview it was very comforting to have you there with us. You walked us through all the steps from filling out all the necessary forms – to meeting with us when we needed to meet - to preparing us for our USCIS interview date. And then we finally received the good news that our case was approved you made sure to give us a call and congratulate us. I would and will recommend you to anyone that is looking for a immigration lawyer that is reliable, knowledgeable, patient and has reasonable fees. Once again, thank you so much!
