Green card success

Frieda was an absolute pleasure to deal with during the Green card process for my family. We were always able to reach her by phone/e-mail, and she also helped to calm us down during this stressful process. Frieda compiled all the information we needed and prepared us for the Green card interview ver...y well. She was with us every step of the way and my family is grateful to her for winning the case!

Great results

Frieda is great at what she does, she has all the answers. She's easy to contact (some lawyers don't respond) and keep in touch. She's quick at responding as well at my questions. She gave me good tips on studying for the civic exam. I worked with her on my application for naturalization through marr...iage to a US citizen. My case went pretty smoothly, no real big issues! We filed end of Feb and I got my citizenship end of July (but this is only because I postponed my ceremony for a month), otherwise, it would have been end of June, total of 4 months. My only tip is do bring everything they request for you to bring for the interview, I didn't have my "utility bill" with me and ended up having to run around in the city for 2 hours to gather a list of items and run back to the interviewer to submit same day (I was lucky my interviewer was nice enough to accept same day), otherwise, my case would have been delayed. Just some tips!

Removal of the conditional residency after the divorce

I had a pleasure working with Frieda Goldstein on my case for the removal of the conditional residency after the divorce. Originally, I filled all paperwork on my own 2 years after receiving my first green card, but after receipt of RFE letter from immigration I decided to get a lawyer. I spent a lot... of time researching for a right attorney and based on all reviews and recommendations I decided that Pozo Goldstein Attorneys were the right people to contact. Several attorneys had advised me that my case was too complex and couldn't guarantee that I would pass my second interview. (In short - I received my green card thru a marriage with American citizen, me and my former spouse were living in two different states due to the work and college obligations, and after 2.5 years of marriage I filled for a divorce). The whole RFE response package to the immigration was very thoroughly prepared, organized and I got very well prepared by attorney for my interview. There is nothing negative that I could say about my whole experience working with Ms. Goldstein, very polite, organized, well informed, always available via e-mail & text messages, positive person which gave me a lot of confidence and positive energy prior my interview. I would absolutely recommend Frieda Goldstein for any of your immigration needs or advises.

Outstanding

I got married to a US citizen but we feared the petition and adjustment of status would not be approved because I had a previous criminal case involving moral turpitude. Mrs. Goldstein met with us and explained with total honesty our case and prepared us for the interview. Her team of lawyers and par...alegals were supportive and were there for us to solve any question we had at any moment. We went to our interview with knowledge and supported by a lawyer. We had all the documentation in place and ready, the interview went great. Her petition case was approved. I was told my adjustment of status would have to wait. Two days later I get the approval letter for everything. Now we can visit our families, live freely and have peace of mind. Thank you
