J-1 extenuating circumstances transfer

I cannot overstate how good he and his team are. J-1 waiver extenuating circumstances transfers are extremely difficult to obtain. From the outset, his team showed so much confidence and poise regarding my case that even my new employer felt confident enough to stand by me, during this long and arduo...us process. They have always assured me that my case appears very strong and that I should not fret too much. True to their word, they succeeded in getting me a J-1 waiver switch. I am extremely thankful to the team for their help and plan to retain them for my EB-1 green card processing in the near future.

Excellent law firm for Eb1 in particular

I am an investment banker. I filed a successful Eb1 application with Stephen and Radu. I have nothing but words of praise for their guidance, commitment to my case and ultimately a successful outcome. I worked primarily with Radu, who was always on point guiding me in preparing the application materi...al. We had a tight deadline, Radu was very diligent, responsive and provided all the necessary guidance for presenting the application, reference letters throughout. Later I worked with Tracy and Brandon to file Adj of status. They were both very knowledgeable and prompt. My bank's immigration counsel had suggested I don't have valid grounds. Radu and Stephen immediately put me at ease suggesting I have a good shot and it is worth trying. They are very experienced, so I was lucky to have them prepare and present my application when my survival depended on this approval! I recommend them 100% - its absolutely worth getting a consult with them to get a reasonable answer as to your grounds of success.

SAVE YOUR MONEY

Don't even make phone consultations with him. He will not answer your questions. He will say, I will let you know when we get to work on the case. So why do I pay 100$ for a consultation if he is not even wiling to answer.

consult for NIW

GET AWAY FROM HIM. first session they told me it is 30 minutes consult and they charged me for 100$. the total time that he talked to me was 15 minutes and did not give me any guide. each question that I asked he said, whenever you hire us, we will discuss. I just paid 100 $ and hated the way that ...he spoke. I consulted with other lawyers that did not charge me for consult and consulted with me for 1 hour and discussed everything. He was rude and after that I called the staff and complained and they replied we are the best and we do not refund anything. do not waste your money to consult with him. he will not say you anything, the only thing that he will say is you have more than 80% chance of approval and he just want to encourage you work with him. STAY AWAY FROM HIM

terrible experience

I would hate anyone else to be stuck with this law firm. They were very nice till I paid them (they charge for green card EB1 or EB2 application upfront) and after that they did nothing. I had to work on my entire application myself, and hired another lawyer (who was very good and helpful) to go over... details because these people did nothing. For the EB1 application, you pay the lawyer (a lot of money) to make a case for you.. this firm does not do that. If it weren't for the other lawyer I hired, I would never have got my green card.
