Ferdinand G. Suba

Atty. Ferdinand Suba, my immigration lawyer, ever since we started my immigration process, he has made everything convenient for me. He made sure that I understood everything I need to know, made sure my documents are complete, and he was always a text or call away whenever I have any questions or co...ncerns. What I’m most grateful for is that he was my confidant through this process. He always made me feel calm, cool, and collected. He was not only my lawyer, but also like a father-figure who would make sure everything is okay whenever we talk in the phone. I’m so grateful because if it weren’t for him I wouldn’t be able to achieve my citizenship!

We received a devastating letter last month from USCIS intending to deny my application to adjust status to be a permanent resident. My husband and I consulted Atty. Suba and retained him after hearing his impressive insight on my complicated case. He's very professional, straightforward and knowledg...eable. He is detail oriented and guide us every step of the way. We still can't believe how he made it happened. In more than 2 weeks after we completed the documents he asked, the application status online changed to 'New Card Is Being Produce' and GC was delivered this week. Finally! after almost 2 years. Thanks to Atty. Suba. We should have just went to him when we started the process. It probably didn't take this long. If you are looking for a reliable immigration lawyer, we highly recommend him.

We are writing this review to express our sincere gratitude to Atty. Ferdinand Suba. He is the second lawyer that we sought for help to handle our case for adjustment of status since our case was very complicated. He is very straight forward with us from the very beginning and explained clearly what... has to be done. He never told us it would be easy but he did tell us through his actions and words that he would not abandon us. He is very hardworking, knowledgeable, no long waits, calls were answered promptly, questions and concerns answered in a positive manner, get updates, price is affordable and most of all he treats us like a family and always reminds us to continue to seek God’s mercy. It was a long and difficult journey for the two of us, several waiver appeals and denials but we are finally free from our immigration problem and we are no longer living in fear to be separated as husband and wife. We recommend Atty. Ferdinand Suba to everyone with a great pride. He is truly the best lawyer. God bless us all!!! Posted By Sergio and Carmela

Atty. Ferdinand Suba has made representation for my application for Green Card with care, precision, and respect for my financial and professional status. He provided close supervision and guidance in every step of the process. He also provided substantial information for my naturalization process. ...Atty. Ferdinand Suba waived the corresponding representation fees since he has great respect on clergy and religious.

I don't claim to know the circumstances of a client's angry diatribe here. He may be disappointed that his case with the UCIS did not prosper or he simply wants to project his anger to a most logical target. Suffice it to say that the lawyer he's referring to is the complete opposite of what he has d...escribed. Let me relate my case with Atty. Ferdinand Suba: I am what you call a beneficiary of 245(i) when I filed my I-130 with the UCIS on April 30, 2001 (with a postmark date of close to midnight on that day--this becomes relevant as I'll explain later). For some inexplicable reason, UCIS marked my priority date, May 6, 2001 instead of the sunset date of April 30, 2001) . Unaware of this, I waited patiently as required (since I'm from the Philippines) while out of status in the US until October of last year (2013) when a visa became available. After reviewing my case and consulting with my sister's lawyer, she told me that I won't be allowed to become a permanent resident because my priority date (May 6, 2001) shows that I filed after the sunset date of April 30, 2001. She claimed that there was nothing she can do for me. Nor would other lawyers, for that matter. Out of desperation, I lodged my case with Atty. Suba who gave me hope when I stated under oath that I postmarked my I-130 petition on April 30, 2001--he said he'll take my case, as well as defend it in front of immigration authorities, if it came to that. He discussed every detail of my case with me, envisioning scenarios/possible outcomes and entertaining every question with patience well over the allotted time of my scheduled appointment. Atty. Suba was very meticulous when it came to my documents--identity, financial support, proof of residence in the United States on/around December 21, 2000 ( a compulsary prerequisite to be grandfathered under 245(i))-- a preponderance of evidence that marks an excellent attorney! He even took pains to monitor my progress in its collection, slacker, that I am ;-) As soon as everything was in, we started the process during the last week of January, filing an application for Permanent Residence (I-485), as well as Employment Authorization (I-765). We received notice of the receipt(s) first week of February. Within the week , UCIS scheduled my biometrics processing for February, 28, 2014; less than two weeks later, a notice was received for my initial interview scheduled on April 15, 2014. While awaiting that date, my Employment Authorization Document ID card arrived through the mail around the second week of April. Come the day of the interview, I was a nervous wreck though I'm good at hiding it, plus the presence of Atty. Suba reassured me somewhat during the long, agonizing wait. During the interview, I let my attorney do most of the talking and I was impressed with the way he handled some of the agent's questions. All in all, the interview session breezed by, taking less than 15 minutes with a resultant letter informing us to await a decision within 180 days . All through this process, Atty. Ferdinand Suba went out of his way to stay on top of my case---from the gathering of documents to calling me personally upon receipt of UCIS notices, to reminding me about important dates relevant to my case. And never did he make empty promises of a satisfactory outcome in my case; only that he would do the best that he can. For this dedicated service, I would have gladly paid double his fees, which are very reasonable, to say the least, considering his extensive experience and being a graduate of one of the most prestigious universities in the Philippines (Ateneo de Manila University), if not, one of the top 500, worldwide. The fact, too, that it is run by the Jesuits makes me assured of his lawyering skills. ADDENDUM: On May 5, 2014, I secured my Green Card (PRC notice date: 04/29/2014). From the application of my I-145 to being a permanent resident of the USA, 3 months--swift, considering..and only with a capable lawyer behind me.
