Fast, efficient and knowledgeable - well worth your money

Jane demystified a seemingly impenetrable wall of process and paperwork and successfully helped me to attain an E3 working visa for the US on the first attempt. My situation was particularly unusual and Jane ensured I had every base covered for the interview. Jane responded promptly and clearl...y to all of my emails even with our opposite timezones. I will certainly be getting her to handle any and all of my future immigration concerns.

Jane, an excellent immigration lawyer

Jane helped me navigate through out all my complex paper work stops, she considers the immigration law a form of art, and she indeed masters that art. Very skilled, honest, helpful, never gives up, always offers solutions at times when other lawyers would have ran out of solutions, cares about ea...ch and every one of her clients, and keeps the clients informed through the whole process. Jane will manage to solve your immigration case, whether it is very complex or not very much so.

The most efficient Immigration Lawyer in town!

Talan LLC hired Jane as an Immigration attorney in 2007 at a moment where Immigration matters were key to our business expansion. Jane provided us with the best service we could ever dream of through a great understanding of our business needs and a tailored service that no other immigration practice... could offer. She handled our immigration cases with creativity and reliability, resulting in the approval of all applications, from the standard L1 visa transfer to the complicated J1 waiver, emergency Travel Document or Green Card. On top of getting the job done, it is a constant pleasure to work and interact with Jane, whose multicultural background offers ground for endless discussions. I will continue to strongly recommend Jane to anyone looking for the best immigration lawyer in town. Thank you Jane for changing the life of so many, including mine

Excellent lawyer for both non-immigrant visa (O1) and EB1 Green Card

Ms. Orgel has been dealing with my case(s) for over 2 years now. After I had had a very bad experience with another lawyer and a previous visa application, she took care of my O1 (extraordinary ability in the sciences). The preparation period was very thorough but the visa was granted within one we...ek (it had been filed with premium processing). A little over a year later, I changed employer so I had to adjust my status. She recommended trying to obtain an extension, so we did and again very quickly I had my status adjusted and three more years to go. We are now in the process of filing the EB1 application. As always, there is uncertainty as to what the outcome will be, but I am fully confident my application has been and is in excellent hands. Communication has always been direct and fast, with quick replies to all my queries, despite the distance (while she works in NY, I have been in London, UK and California since I have known her). Her advice has always been sound and well reasoned, she keeps the overall case as a priority even though some decisions may not be the easier ones to make. Do expect to have to work with her on the process, you may need to work quite a bit in getting all the evidence together and in the best possible way. Not just sending a lot of copies of your documents. You can be sure your application will not be getting a standard cover letter and a bunch of photocopies attached to it, but a thorough work. Been there, seen the difference - and experienced the different results. Although I hope this will be the last time we have to file immigration applications, I will certainly recommend her to anyone in need for an immigration lawyer. My experience has been with a very particular type of Visa in which she specializes, but I am sure her working method should be the best guarantee for any type of visa or green card application.
