I cannot thank Brian enough for my green card

I worked with Brian on multiple different applications related to my EB2 NIW green card. He made the whole process super easy. He was always available to answer the question I had, and he helped tremendously with the fairly convoluted process of collecting recommendation letters and filling the appli...cation. Because of Brian’s knowledge of the ins and outs of the USCIS requirements I had no issues with any of the paperwork and I received my green card a few months ago. I cannot thank him enough. I highly recommend hiring Getson&Schatz for all your immigration needs!

EB2 NIW and green card petition

I successfully petitioned for my green card through the NIW with Brian and I would 100% recommend him for this. Brian has been very communicative and dependable throughout the entire process of preparing my application. Specifically, he is very thorough, patient, and quick with his responses to any ...questions I needed clarifications with. Additionally, he is very organized and I felt that I was in a good hands, as he left no stones unturned to make sure that I had a strong application and was in the best position to petition for my NIW and green card. I strongly recommend him as an immigration attorney!
