Immigration from Japan

Ishida handled the immigration process for my wife and me. My wife is from Japan and we married during a her 3 month trip. She was professional and everything went through with no problems. I highly recommend her.

Excellent Immigration Lawyer

I can highly recommend Saori for your immigration needs. From the start we had direct and personal contact with Saori. She was always available to answer any questions we may have. Saori has an excellent track record and is extremely thorough in the execution of her work. She brings value, trust and ...a personal relationship with her clients to the table that is unmatched. Saori will definitely be the one that we go to for all our immigration needs in the future!

good experience

Saori was extremely professional and we were able to deal with her directly. She was always available for questions, and there were no unexpected fees. Her attention to detail was helpful, and we felt extemely prepare for our green card interview.

Excellent Immigration attorney!

Ms. Saori Ishida helped me for the Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence(I-175). First of all, I submitted my I-175 documents by myself, and that was a big mistake. My documents wasn't good enough and I made very bad mistakes too. This is when I found and asked Ms. Saori to help me. She is not ...only kind, polite, and easy to talk with, but also very sincerely faced to my case. This relived a lot of stress on my chest. Her response for me either email or phone was always prompt. She fixed and re-done my I-175 documents. Her work for documents were very accurate in details. I knew she put on extra efforts to prepare all my documents and reviewed them over and over to make sure everything is correct. I was very comfortable to work with her and completely rely on her. Because Ms. Saori prepared for my documents so well, my interview went well, and Baltimore is one of the toughest Immigration interview area in the US. Needless to say, I received my new green-card within a month. I couldn't thank enough for Ms. Saori what she all done for me, and she is my highest recommendation of Immigration attorney.
