Amy R Novick

Even though I now live in New York, I had no hesitation on relying on Amy Novick's vast expertise in handling my application for permanent residency (green card). Although fairly straightforward, my case took longer than expected. But Amy never gave up, was always supportive and ready to answer my qu...eries. She was particularly on the ball toward the end of the process, when she alerted me immediately of a scarcely publicized change in procedure shortly before I had to submit my medical records and tests--USCIS never bothered informing me. In spite of the long wait and some anxiety in my part, which she handled remarkably well, Amy made the process as easy and stress free as possible. I would have no doubt in recommending Amy and her partners at Haynes Novick Immigration.

Our company needed help in bringing a talented designer to the USA. We worked with 2 lawyers previously, spent a lot of time and money, but our petitions, as well as subsequent appeals were rejected. We then interviewed several of the most highly recommended immigration attorneys in the D.C. area, an...d Amy felt like the best fit - confident, knowledgeable, attentive, personable, and we were glad we chose her! Amy designed the best plan for us, O-1 visa for persons of extraordinary abilities, and assisted us through the whole process till our designer got her visa. Throughout the time we worked together Amy remained determined, focused, and always calm and pleasant, as well as immediately responsive to all our questions and concerns. Will wholeheartedly recommend Amy to anyone needing assistance with O-1, or other non-immigrant visas.

My wife needed legal help for a 2-yr home restriction waver. Upon meeting with Amy, we already had some idea about the likelihood/risk facing our case through consultation with other lawyers. We decided to stick with Amy for 2 key reasons: First, DC is a highly dense market for immigration lawyers an...d Amy's firm appeared both competitive and reasonably affordable. Second, through consultation with Amy on the phone, we were impressed with her attention to details, which proved critical as the case progressed. We would work entirely on the phone, occasionally on Skype, without much difficulty. Just the number of pages of primary evidence - mostly doctor letters that Amy drafted and edited - and personal statements alone was probably worth the entire legal fee we paid. On top of that, I believe that the case she prepared, including circumstantial and secondary evidence, left no stone unturned. The last part was probably critical since we had friends whose cases were similar to ours but failed due to inadequate preparation. USCIS and the State Dept took nearly all of the 8 months allowed to come back to us, thankfully, with an approval. Amy kept in touch with us throughout the waiting period and only closed the case once we had the paperwork in hand. Her professionalism was an important assurance for us during the entire process. With her help we always knew that we did all we could for our case.

I hired Amy to work with me on my Green Card application. From the outset it was clear she had a deep level of expertise in all matters relating to immigration and an ability to identify what was important for my case. Amy spent a lot of time finding out about me and my career in order to come up wit...h a tailored approach to my application. She prepared my case with a tremendous amount of attention to detail and was relentless about making sure that every bit of relevant information was included properly. The result was a strong case on my behalf and us getting our green cards within 11 months from start to finish. I would not hesitate to recommend Amy and I'm sure we will be using her services again in the future.
