Linda J. Jesselson

I retained Linda last year to apply for permanent residency under a category for foreigners with unique abilities known as Aliens of Extraordinary Ability. From our first phone conversation, I found Linda to be warm, knowledgeable and diligent. This was particularly soothing because my previous immig...ration lawyer made a mistake that set back my ability to adjust status for years. As we worked together to build the case, Linda was patient, reassuring and invested in my success at every step. I never felt that she over-promised. She understood how nerve-wrecking immigration petitions can be for people whose livelihoods and careers depend on a favorable outcome. What makes Linda particularly successful is that beyond knowing the law, she knows the intricacies of an opaque and often capricious immigration system. I can't overstate how important that is. Getting my green card has been life-altering. It's such a wonderful feeling to be able to think of the United States as home -- my home. Beyond peace of mind, becoming a permanent resident allowed me to accept a new, terrific job this year. I think of Linda often when I count my blessings. I can't recommend her enough.
