Thank You!!!

We hired Adam Solow to help get my husband a visa as a permanent resident from the United Kingdom to the United States. We had a complicated situation where there was the possibility that my husband would not be able to come to America. We were very scared and lost and afraid that we wouldnt be able... to live the life we dreamed of. After meeting Adam we became hopeful that he would be able to help us, Adam always explained everything to us in plain terms and straight forward. He worked hard for us and was very supportive as we went through one of the most difficult times of our lives. In the end, Adam was able to prove that there was no reason why my husband should not be able to come to the U.S and we were granted the visa! Because of Adam's knowledge and hard work and through the goodness of God, my husband and I can begin our lives together in America! We are so happy that God lead us to Adam Solow, he knows his stuff!!

Immigration: Green Card Persuit

My family came to the states in 2004. We filed for an asylum, which was to no avail. I married my high school sweetheart in 2011. The lawyer we were working with at the time filed an I130 and a I485, but did not do it properly. The lawyer that was working on our case gave up and told us to "lock our ...doors and close our windows." When my family got the deportation letter in the mail in 2013 that prompt us to appear at an ICE facility with our bags packed, my whole life slowed down. My grades in school went from A's to C's. I remember my husband lost his appetite and could not eat for days because his body could not function at the thought of his wife being deported back to a country he never visited. Here we were, married for 2 years and I still didn't have a green card. My mother found Adam online and explained to him our situation. He immediately scheduled an appointment to see us at his Camden office. Adam spoke to my husband and assured him that I wouldn't be deported and that he would work hard to get me the green card. He did. Adam was always honest with us. He did not tell us what we wanted to hear. Instead, he told us the truth about our situation and the outlook. He filed a Stay of Removal, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, two motions to reopen, an appeal with the BIA after both motions were denied, a request for immigration court to terminate my previous case, and an Adjustment of Status application. Adam never gave up on us. It took three years... I had my interview March 30, 2016 and my I485 application was approved April 1, 2016. Adam worked very hard for my family and I will be eternally grateful. He was always reachable especially through email. Whether you are just starting your immigration process or you have gotten a deportation order, call Adam Solow because he WILL fight for you with every resource he has available.

Adam is a wonderful Immigration Attorney

I had a complex case I wanted to get citizenship with a past felony from when I was young. I was told by another good immigration attorney I would not qualify for citizenship for many year if ever. We found Adam online and based on his reviews decided to check with him as well. Adam looked into the ...case and to my surprise said that in his opinion I would actually qualify being that my felony was not violent and many years had passed. Well it took 14 month but now I am finally an American Citizen! Adam was right about the law and has been very good through the whole application process. He kept me updated on everything that was going on. Was always available by phone or email when I had questions. Adam knew the options available to me and made appropriate recommendations. Adam knows the process of immigration law in and out. He is a lawyer who deeply cares about his clients. I would not hesitate to recommend Adam to a friend or family member.

Thankful to have a lawyer like adam solow

I was very pleased with Adams help and work that he did for me. He is very orangized and always lets you know what you need and what to expect in your case. He helped me gather all the legal paperwork to bring my fiancé close to me in America. He is very caring and helps with you with any questions y...ou may have. He's is a very intelligent man, and I'd highly recommend him as an attorney. I wanted a lawyer that I could trust and educated and he was that person for me. I'm very thankful to have him along this journey because I don't know much about the laws and I didn't have the time to invest in doing paperwork all myself and he mad it a lot easier and less stressful because I knew if I did this on my own I would of probably missed something along the way. I'm super excited that my finance is able to come here to America to me and I can finally start my life with him because it's hard being away from the person you love, and adam made that happen for me. So for anyone that is unsure of how cases work and you don't have the time to really do it all on your own go to Adam solow because he is by far the best lawyer I've met, and I promise you, you won't be disappointed with the outcome.
