Exceptional Attorney

Mr. Knight is one of the most outstanding, experienced, and considerate attorneys I've ever worked with. Ryan Knight helped me with a complex green card case, and handled my case very carefully and with utmost attention, making himself available in the shortest notice to address urgent matters right ...before the interview. His approach is very intellectual and thoughtful, and I highly recommend him as your attorney. I am forever grateful for his help and exceptional work.

Thank you for great service

My H1b extension case received a very complicated RFE after which I reached out to Haynes Novick Immigration. Ryan Knight, a very calm, humble, and outstanding lawyer studied and researched my case very carefully. He and his paralegal staff prepared an excellent response to my RFE. His approach was v...ery intellectual and detailed oriented. Ryan was able to demonstrate my abilities and specialty skills in the response and even included research papers related to my occupation to prove that the field lies under specialty occupation. The case was approved with full extension without any additional RFE. I would always be grateful for the excellent service of Ryan Knight in those difficult moments.

Ryan Knight, immigration case

We worked with Ryan Knight on an immigration case, petition for an R-1 visa for a prospective employee from the UK. Mr. Knight worked with us on the initial filing, the Request for Evidence (RFE) from USCIS, and on our response to the Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID). Our case required knowledge of im...migration law, experience with this process, and even relating to the office of our U.S. Senator. Mr. Knight prepared many documents for us, and coached us in the documents that we needed to provide. He was accessible through e-mail and telephone calls. Thanks to the help of Mr. Knight, we were able to successfully navigate a tricky and time-consuming petition process. In the end we were successful, the visa was approved, and our new hire is on the way.

Wonderful Attorney

I worked with Ryan Knight on my H1B case. After having a not-so-great experience with another attorney, I was amazed by a serious and professional approach Ryan took with my case. Not only he helped me understand what were my best options, but also kept me on top of the things when the documents I ne...eded to submit to him were approaching important deadlines. I am not quite sure how he made it happen (except him being amazing in what he does), but my case was approved within a record one week timeline. I would highly recommend Ryan as your attorney.

Excellent attorney.

I hired Ryan Knight to help with getting my daughter and grandchildren here from Canada through the National Visa Center. Despite my daughter having a common-law marraige, Ryan was able to keep her visa category the same and avoid any additional waiting for them. He identified the marriage as a poten...tial hurdle from the outset and made a strong legal argument on our behalf, which i think helped to prevent a long delay with the NVC. My daughter and her children were able to get thier green cards and are now here with me. I am happy to recommend Ryan Knight. He acted quickly, was very knowledgeable about the laws and always responded to all of my questions promptly. I am very happy that he took the initiative to get out in front of the common-law problem instead of waiting for the NVC to raise questions because of the unnecessary time it would have added. We couldnt be happier with the results. Thank you so much Ryan from all of us.
