Exceptional Support: Highly Recommend Josh for Legal Assistance!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Josh on my I-612 waiver application, and I can't thank him enough for his exceptional support. From our first meeting, he was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my case. He guided me through the entire process, making it feel much less daun...ting. His expertise and attention to detail ensured that everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. Thanks to Josh, my application was successful! I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you, Josh, for your outstanding service!

In a time of need

Shocked after being turned away from the first immigration interview and scheduled for a second one, I was strongly urged to contact Joshua and his top-rated lawfirm by good friends with vast connections whose recommendations I trust. My friends' optimal advice was surpassed only by the even more ou...tstanding advice given to us by Joshua himself. His knowledge, care and charm put me immediately at ease and turned what could have been a very nerve-wracking and arduous ordeal into a seamless and successful process. Thank you, Joshua! As my trusted friends said to me, please let me say to you: Head straight to Joshua for your immigration needs!

Excellent support and guidance with the immigration process

After some less than stellar experiences working with a different law firm, it was a breath of fresh air working with Joshua and the rest of the team at Wildes & Weinberg. Joshua went above and beyond to provide me with both the micro and macro views of the entire permanent residency application proc...ess. I felt supported and comfortable asking any questions throughout the process. It was clear that they knew what they were doing and exactly how to best prepare me and my spouse for success. I felt really confident going into the real interview after Joshua grilled us in a mock interview. Joshua even accompanied us to our interview and helped us answer some clarifying questions with our case officer. I strongly recommend Joshua as an attorney and would 100% work with him and his firm again.

Really Great Help

Joshua helped walk us through every step of getting my husband's greencard. This included answering all our questions and doing practice interviews to help us get comfortable with the format.

Personable & attentive experience from the start to finish

I've had the pleasure of working with Joshua on my marriage based petition for the green card. Our case had some intricacies and we interviewed many companies prior to making the choice. While there a lot of immigration lawyers, Joshua right away stands out from the masses. From the very first ...interaction with us - he was attentive, up to date on the most recent information on our case and provided great suggestions. Beyond all, while the process can be stressful and uncertain to say the least - Joshua made us feel comfortable each and every single time. We had multiple interview preps & other in-person and video calls regarding our case. He did not rush us and explained every little question that we had with easy to understand terms. With great certainty I can say that we were in great hands while working with Joshua! Thank you for working with us and for helping us achieve the status of the green card holder!
