Marriage based green card application

Allison Spitz-Perry was one of several attorneys we initially contacted to seek help with our immigration process. Allison was the only attorney who promptly returned our call. She took the time to learn about us, understand the requirements of our case, and started to set out a strategy for the ac...tions needed, all from that first initial conversation. Since then it was Allison who represented our green card application process from start to finish, which has provided superb continuity of service that you just don’t get from a larger firm. Allison has built a wealth of immigration experience, which is important in today's changing environment where policy and nuances in dealing with immigration services is subject to constant change. Allison is diligent with her work and took time at every step to review and explain what was required from us. It was very apparent that Allison takes great pride in her work and really cares about achieving the best outcome for her clients. Her approach certainly provided us with the added confidence that our case was being represented in the best possible way. Whatever your immigration legal counsel need, we highly recommend Allison Spitz-Perry.

Allison saved our application

Allison was a life-saver. She picked up our marriage-based green card case fairly late in the process. After a lot of research online, we started to suspect that our previous lawyer hadn’t properly prepared us for our interview. We knew of Allison because she had worked on a very complicated immigr...ation issue for a close friend, so we asked if she would take our case also. Unlike our previous attorney, Allison created a plan and a strategy. She gave us a clear checklist of materials we needed to gather, and questions we needed to be able to answer. She then sat with us in person to go through everything and prepare us for the interview. Allison came with us to the interview and it couldn’t have gone better. The agent actually complimented us on how thoroughly prepared we were, and told us—on the spot—that she would recommend us for approval. Without going into details, there were at least 2 issues that I doubt we would have been able to address if we had stayed with our previous lawyer. I believe Allison is the reason my husband has a green card today.

Fantastic immigration lawyer

We hired Allison to help us file for a marriage based green card, and she helped us navigate the complex seas of immigration. She was tremendously helpful from the beginning stages of our application, providing us with clear and friendly instructions on what documents we needed, as well as keeping ...us posted during the long wait for our interview. She was always responsive via phone or by email, giving us peace of mind that we were in good hands. When it came to our actual interview, Allison spent time to help us practice and review all our documentation to make sure everything was in order. If anything, thanks to her help we were over prepared! She came with us to the interview, and was a total pro. She clearly has been doing this for several years, to the extent that some of the immigration officers seemed to know her already! Overall we couldn't be more pleased with our results, and we would recommend Allison without any reservation!

CEO & CTO of Sentient Blue

Ms Spitz-Perry guided me and my company through the maze that is the US immigration system. She anticipated and warned me of the potential pitfalls that would occur simply because of the complex nature of the system and the various government agencies involved. In the end she delivered and will conti...nue to represent our company in all immigration matters. Ms. Spitz-Perry is the consummate professional and truly does care for her clients. It was our pleasure to work with her and we look forward to a long-term relationship with her firm.

The Attorney You Want to Hire for All Your Immigration Needs

Ms Spitz-Perry has been my immigration attorney for almost 20 years, from the very beginning when she prepared my H-1B case through my permanent residence process and now citizenship. This was not an easy path: with multiple fillings, appeals, interviews etc but Ms Spitz-Perry represented me with the... utmost professionalism, deep understanding of my circumstances and human compassion. She developed and managed to execute brilliantly the complex legal strategy leading me through every step of the way to me finally getting citizenship. I cannot emphasize enough her thorough knowledge of the US immigration law and courtesy she extends to all of her clients from day one. Ms Spitz-Perrry will fight your case no matter what hurdles will lie in the way of you realizing your dream of becoming a proud US Citizen!
