Joy Alegria Haynes

My partner and I had an amazing experience with Joy Haynes at Haynes Novice immigration to get my green card. We had been especially concerned when we filed our case because we are a same-sex couple and DOMA had just recently been overturned, so we were not sure what to expect. We are also both trans...gender, so finding a lawyer who was knowledgable in trans issues and immigration law was a top priority. We were impressed by Joy's professionalism, expertise, and ease with which she handled our case. We highly recommend her for other LGBT couples seeking a great lawyer for their green card applications!

We have been fortunate to have Joy as our attorney. She is absolutely knowledgeable and caring immigration attorney. Joy has a lot of experience working with LGBT couples in regards to family immigration matters. As an LGBT couple, we had a peace of mind having Joy as our lawyer. She always responded... to our inquires within a couple hours, sometimes just minutes! She always encouraged us for the better. I am recommending Joy Alegria Haynes and Haynes Novick Immigration Law Firm to anyone seeking A+ quality representation in immigration matters. Thank you very much Joy!

Joy and her team were an absolute delight to work with as we navigated the process of adjusting status due to our same-sex marriage. From our intial meeting, to the moment DOMA was struck down, to the day my husband got his green card, she was our cheerleader and champion. We never felt alone and cou...ld not have asked for more support or encouragement, or better guidance in navigating the minefield of immigration. I encourage anyone in a bi-national relationship, whether LGBT or not, to contact Joy for help in the immigration process.

We had the pleasure of working with Joy Haynes regarding our same-sex marriage green card application. Probably the most important and life changing paperwork we've ever prepared thanks to the Supreme Court's decision to strike down DOMA. We thought the process was going to be long, complicated and t...edious, but Joy Haynes made it all make sense. Her attention to detail and her personal and approachable professionalism gave us the confidence to feel we were filing a thorough application. And we were successful! We were approved for my British partner's green card in early October, 2013. We started the process in late July when we met Joy and less than three months later had our interview, which we were totally prepared for thanks to Joy. We would recommend Joy Haynes to any LGBT family who are dealing with immigration issues, no matter how simple or complicated the case may be. Joy is professional, compassionate and eager to help LGBT bi-national couples and we can't thank her enough for helping us file a successful marriage based green card application. Thank you, Joy!!!

Not only is Joy Alegria Haynes extremely knowledgable about bi-national, gay families---she genuinely cares about GLBT people. WIth all the angst and hesitation we had in finding the right attorney to handle our green card process, we couldn't have been more fortunate to decide on Ms. Haynes. Truly a... joy from beginning to end.
