Top Notch Immigration Firm

I'm deeply thankful to Amy and the firm for everything that they've done. It has been a very complicated case. In fact, Amy has handled multiple filings on our behalf. We find her and her team's depth of knowledge extraordinary. We've been impressed with responsiveness, professionalism and willingnes...s to hold their client's hand. We highly recommend her and the firm.

Excellent work

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.

Highly recomended for J-1 Waiver Applications

I worked with Amy for my J-1 Waiver application, and I couldn't have been happier. She knows the subject very well and was always responsive to my many questions. She even gave me phone calls clarifying some issues. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for Immigration matters specially J-1 Waive...r applications.

Couldn't say enough thank you to Amy

Amy is one of the very few lawyers who are not only extremely able professionally, but also compassionate and truly cares about her clients. 2016 spring, I was in a situation beyond desperate. In 2014, I moved here with my by then boyfriend, got married shortly after, and seperated at nearly one year... after married. Before Amy, my consulted countless lawyers, they either made me feel like I am just another client on the trail, or they don't know the difficulty of my case. Because my ex-husband and I only lived together for a little bit more than a year in the States, so we didn't have an established life, and we were both unemployed and new to the area during that time, so we just don't have any 'common friends" or even joint insurance. I was so hopeless at that time, because I don't have any family in USA and my ex-husband just couldn't realize my status was at stake and provided little help. It would be a lie if I said that I'd never had the idea of giving up, but when I thought if I gave up now, all the sacrifices I made for my ex-husband ( quitting a wonderful job in Beijing, left my family and moved here, 2 years of time, all the money I spent..etc) would just flush into the toilet. Until I found Amy by searching online, had I really ensured that even though I get divorced before 2 years anniversary, with minimum evidence, I can still legitimately renew my green card by providing solid evidence of a bona fide marriage. With that ensurance in mind, I was able to function and being less panic. During the following 5 months, prior to I officially got divorced, Amy walked me step by step on how to get all the evidence needed to file the I-751 waiver. She was always responsive, even on evenings and weekends. She told me exactly what kind of letter I would need from my ex mother-in-law, and our friends in China. She would explain it from the immigration officer's point of view to let me know what documents I need to get. And she even offered me tips on how to tackle with my ex-husband! I have opened myself to Amy on my personal issues, and Amy was so open and willing to offer help, and I was so appreciated that she really took care of it confidentially. I believe I am not the only one who has this personal trust about Amy, and this trust must be shared by all of her clients. After we filed the extension, I can't remember how many times I asked Amy about my status. I knew that she probably couldn't have a definite answer for me, but because of the Trump administration, the environment was just so intense and Amy was being patient all the time. Until yesterday, 20 days to a year since I filed my I-751 waiver, I got my approval notice. I have nothing to complain right now. During last year, my life has been through a wonderful transition, all I needed to secure my life here was this approval notice. Now I have it. I know that I probably don't have any legal needs from Amy anymore, but I hope all the clients can finish their cases with Amy wonderfully, just as I did. If Amy is representing your case, you are in good hands! I wish all the best for Amy, and I couldn't say enough thank you to her.

Amazing Amy

Amy is an exemplary immigration attorney. She assisted my family and I with moving from L1 / L2 visas to Permanent Resident Status (Green Card). Throughout the process, Amy was thorough, calm, extremely efficient, reassuring and personable. Her knowledge and experience are second to none, and her pat...ience for my endless questions was very much appreciated. She is also super-responsive. Every email was answered almost immediately, and Amy did a great job of allaying any concerns and worries, without making any promises or creating any false expectations as to the certainty of the outcome. I could not have asked for any more, and would wholeheartedly recommend Amy to anyone requiring an immigration attorney. I have a number of colleagues who have also used Amy, and the praise for her is unanimous. She is simply the best there is.
