The best immigration lawyer period!

Sara is an amazing lawyer but in my opinion even a better person, she’s someone who cares about her client and their well being! She has helped my family overcome so much over the last few years! She is very professional and articulate about her job, she is very detail oriented lawyer who always does... research and puts her clients in the best position to succeed! She Has gone above and beyond for us, I truly can’t thank her enough personally! I would highly highly recommend anyone who needs a good immigration lawyer!

Green Card for a Turkish citizen

Sara helped us with my Green Card application in 2021. My husband (a US citizen) and I (a Turkish citizen doing her PhD in the States) got married in late 2020. Sara was our lawyer when we applied for my Adjustment of Status. Although we were not living in Pennsylvania, communicating with her was alw...ays smooth and easy. She was very helpful and I got my Green Card in around 9 months.

Excellent Lawyer

I hired Sara Abdullah to help out with my fiancee visa. Sara did a great job with that. Sara was available whenever I needed her. Sara made sure to do all the applications and paperwork correctly. My fiancee got the visa already because of Sara hard work. Thank You Sara.

An Amazing Experience

Sara was amazing in helping my wife and I get her Green Card. She was always responsive and very helpful. She always showed up on time and had everything very organized and ready to present. It was evident she truly cared about us and our journey. She went above and beyond to make the process seamles...s for us. I can't say enough about how wonderful she was.

Well-knowledged and Nice to Work with

Initially, we hired Sara as our attorney for my visa reinstatement case. We were caught by the situation off guard. A friend of mine recommended her and we connected immediately. We found she was extremely easy to work with. She was very patient and knew how to ask good questions. So she understood m...y case really well and explained to us clearly what to do and what to expect. The situation turned out to be very complex and time-consuming. We were frustrated along the way, but Sara worked very actively with us and did thorough researches to answer all kinds of questions. We had to deal with the court quite often and it was an all-new experience for us. Sara walked alongside every step and provided professional yet easy-to-understand counsel all the way. Although she worked extremely hard for my case, we had to go through a tougher situation due to policy changes. I had to leave the US and applying for an immigration visa abroad while my husband stayed here. Even though there was a 12-hour time difference, Sara worked around our schedules and video-chatted with us whenever needed. While we were waiting for the decision, we would come up with all sorts of questions and whenever we shot an email to her, we would receive her response very quickly. Her responsiveness helped cast out our anxiety. Thankfully, we received the expected result. I got my immigration visa granted. My husband and I finally reunited in the States. We were so grateful for Sara's help. We could not make it without her! And we believe that with her caring character and professional enthusiasm, she will be a great help and blessing to many people in the future.
