Transition from visa G-4 to B-2

We needed a way to extend our stay with a G4 visa about to expire with the uncertain possibility to renew it after a period of time. My wife did a research and Eric Singer has the necessary experience to ask if our case had any option. It is important to mention that this was during the holiday seaso...n on December and still under the Pandemic restrictions. We first had a phone interview with him and presented our case, we are a family of 4 and after the details of our case Eric suggested a transition from G-4 to B-2 hoping to go back to G-4 for our family, it was a complicated transition given the type of visa and short period of time because of the sensitive deadlines involved. After this we had an in person meeting with him and from that point really felt we were in good hands because of his knowledge and experience, very professional and always being straight forward in terms of what options we had. We submitted the required documentation and our petition was based in the needs of our older son who's under the Autism Spectrum. It had to be done fast, before Christmas to meet the deadlines and Eric was very precise and effective in presenting the documentation. This was just the first step in our process, it gave us some time while we tried to renew the G4 visa in communication with my employer. The months passed and after six months without any news on our petition or the G4 pursuit we had to resubmit the documentation again against the 6 month deadline. At this point our uncertainty and preoccupation kept growing because we were about to complete almost a year in this process. Finally at this point we got the news and were able to get a new G4 visa, left the country to get the visas and came back again under the desired status. Upon our arrival we contacted Eric to let him know that we finally made it after several months. He was an excellent choice given the complexity of our case but his experience, knowledge and guidance were unevaluable during the process. We definitely would recommend Eric's office without hesitation. Very reliable and experienced.

Citizenship

I had very challenging citizenship case due to criminal charges I had in the past and a denial of previous citizenship application. Eric evaluated my case in great detail with analytical approach that most of the attorneys lack of. In our first interview, Eric went over every single detail of my imm...igration history and the associated dates spanning over appx. 20 years to build the case. He filed my citizenship application and through out the process, he was very responsive to any update. Prior to my citizenship interview, Eric prepared me for the questions, civic test and for my responses. Following my interview, it took longer than normal wait time to receive a decision about my case. Again, Eric was in charge. He wrote an official letter to the immigration office to expedite the process for a decision. And finally, approval of my citizenship application arrived few days after he sent out the letter. If you're looking for an immigration attorney responsive, experienced and with reasonable fees, no look further, Eric Singer is the one !!

Marriage-based petition and adjustment of status.

Mr. Singer is a very professional, knowledgeable, patient, reliable, humble and trustworthy lawyer. He will care for you and protect your information with utmost confidentiality. He has been my lawyer twice already for two separate cases (B1-F1 change of status and adjustment of status for permanent ...residency) , and I would not hesitate to hire him again if I need an attorney for any immigration reason. He has explained each and every single step and process and always kept me in the loop with whatever is going on. The whole process was smooth, give him all the info he needs and let him take care of it, you wont regret it. He takes care of the cases promptly and will not give you the run around or waste your time. Would totally recommend!

Mr. Singer is extremely knowledgeable and he walk you through each step of the process. He is even coming with you to the interview. If you are looking for an immigration attorney we would strongly recommend to contact mr. ERIC SINGER.
