Green Card Process

We were referred to Lisa (Elizabeth) by a colleague who spoke very highly of her. Lisa has been an excellent resource with the process of our Green Card applications. She has been very prompt and helpful with any questions or concerns that we had. The Green Card process can seem like a very daunti...ng task but Lisa has handled our situation very professionally and efficiently. Lisa has been a pleasure to work with and we have been very comfortable and confident having her take care of us. Thank you Lisa!

Excellent Experience

My husband and I were looking for an attorney to help with the permanent resident process between Canada and the US. Lisa was excellent! From the first day we met her we felt extremely confident she knew what she was doing. Our process with her took only 9 months and we were very pleased. I would... recommend her to anyone looking for an immigration attorney.

TN Visa - Technical Publications Writer

Lisa was fantastic to work with. She recently helped me secure a TN Visa under the Technical Publications Writer category. I'm a Canadian with a Masters degree in Broadcast Journalism and a Bachelor of Arts. I was previously on an L1 (or intra-company transfer visa), already living in New York, NY a...nd wanted to accept a new position working for a communications design firm in Manhattan. She helped me navigate the process, highlight my experience accordingly and secure all of the necessary documentation to build my application. Lisa met me at the Peace Bridge border between Buffalo, NY and Ontario, Canada. Everything went according to the plan/procedure that Lisa described when we first spoke. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking to secure a TN Visa.

Competent, Experienced & Gets Job Done

I was referred to Elizabeth Dobosiewicz (hereinafter Lisa) by another immigration attorney who deemed my case complicated and felt I needed an experienced attorney that could handle it. Engaging the legal services of Lisa was one of the wisest decisions I've made in the last 10 years. Lisa understo...od my case right away. She proffered a pathway and carefully walked me through the process. I'm happy to report that Lisa successfully filed form I-360 (VAWA) & I-485 (Adjustment of Status) on my behalf. And thanks to her, today I'm an American citizen. Lisa has a commanding knowledge of immigration cases. She pays meticulous attention to details; tries to anticipate issues that may arise in the process and find a way to address them before they become major issues. Put simply, Lisa is an experienced and competent immigration attorney who gets the job done no matter how complicated it may appear. She is personable and reasonable. Come to Lisa with your immigration problem(s) and she'll provide a pathway.

Lisa is the Best

I have dealt with Lisa for many years on immigration matters and without a doubt she knows how to deal with the system and get things done in a very professional manner. She is extremely thorough in her work and makes sure that everything is covered off so that there are no surprises. I would highl...y recommend her to anyone who is looking to have someone take care of their legal matters and get the job done in a timely and efficient manner.
