Great support throughout my H1-B visa application to permanent resident status adjustment

Dana was hired by my employer here in the US for the process obtaining my H1-B visa, and she acted as attorney for all the processes through to my becoming a legal permanent resident and obtaining a green card. Dana and her staff did a good job of handling the complexities of the process, both wit...h the legalities and also with coordinating with my employers through issues such as changes in key personnel at our main headquarters and office location changes. By their working well to keep my adjustment of status process on track, they made my participation in that process a relatively smooth one. Throughout, I felt that Dana and her staff were in control of situation and could be relied upon to handle the problems and issues that arose, and to give correct, precise and reliable advice. I also found the staff at the Davidson law offices to be responsive to any concerns and queries that I raised with them throughout our association. I have no complaints about the work Dana did on my behalf, and I would recommend her services for employment based visas and status adjustments.

THE BEST IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY AND FIRM!!!!!!!!

One of the best choices that I have made in my life was to have Davidson Law Group for a very difficult immigration case that needed to be handled properly for my husband. My family and I flew overseas to attend an immigration visa interview that was scheduled for my husband which did not go as we h...ad hoped. My husband's case required an approved petition to be presented to the consulate, which unfortunately was not managed properly by our last attorney. I had been referred to Davidson Law Group by my friend who had given me a direct contact number to Dana and inform her of the issue we were faced with. Dana took her time out on a Sunday where she could have spent time with her family to speak with me about the problem we were facing. She was VERY HONEST with me about how long this may take and what we needed to do . She had given me SO MUCH HOPE that EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY. I couldn't stop crying from a mix of emotions. I knew that the road ahead of us as a family was going to be a very rough one; but we needed to do this to finally correct my husband's status in this country. We were torn apart when my daughter and I had to fly back to the States to get my husband's case started. Through the process, Dana and Vanessa have been extremely supportive throughout this course of action and have worked VERY HARD on this case. I know I was very annoying with the constant phone calls of when... or what's next and what else could we do questions. No matter WHAT they ALWAYS answered every question I had and were NEVER aggravated with me because they are compassionate people who have empathy. After 14 months of heartache without my husband here to celebrate birthdays, holidays and watching our daughter grow he is finally home!!!! We have reunited as a family again and that is ONLY BECAUSE OF DANA AND VANESSA!!!! I CANNOT thank them enough for EVERYTHING THEY HAVE DONE!!! I hope this testimonial helps somebody else who may be in my shoes because they WILL GET THE JOB DONE!!!!

Dana is a very good and considerate immigration lawyer

Dana and her team have been very helpful in helping me process my immigrant visa, and help discuss and understand the application process for a resident visa. I would recommend wholeheartedly. She took the time to chat extensively and evaluate my case so that she could build and recommend the best po...ssible application.

Dana Davidson & team provided the solution we were searching for!

My husband was dealing with a situation with his Social Security Card and Passport where we were really stuck between a rock and a hard place with seemingly no way out. Dana Davidson came to the rescue with her knowledge and expertise about the legal system and offered us guidance and solutions that ...we could not have possibly figured out on our own. Her team was professional and supportive, and together we all got the issue resolved even sooner than expected. Davidson Law Group makes the ins and outs of legal issues manageable and really goes the distance! I would definitely recommend their services and will continue to use them myself when I need legal guidance.
