Super Lawyer!

Grace Esnardo is a godsend. My husband was looking for a lawyer for my adjustment of status application and we were very lucky to find her. She works hard to keep her great reputation and has many years of experience in immigration law that helped us smoothly and quickly get our case approved. She w...ent the extra step to comfort us and care for our situation, and ease all of our anxiety which is something I never saw in other lawyers. Grace answered all of our questions and always responded fast. She also speaks Tagalog which was even better for us. We are really thankful to have her as our attorney. She made it possible to stay with my husband. Just leave everything to Grace and you will have no worries.

Excellent Immigration Lawyer Ever!

Am Flora, a Philippine tourist to the states in 2015. I got married to a U.S. citizen in wisconsin on that same year. Since then, we have been filing my change of permanent status up to late 2017, four times, since it always came back for varied reasons. We even engaged the services of a male la...wyer paying thousand dollars for a waiver of vaccinations, which we never have been benefitted at all. Finally, on my fourth year here without permanent status yet, we decided to pursue filing again, this time, with the expertise of Atty. Grace Esnardo, who was referred to us by my countrywoman who had her green card speedily gotten by the help of Atty. Grace. Although she is based in DC and i am living in wisconsin, she is so kind and accommodating, even going out of her way, after business hours, calling and talking with me, especially in the past, that i was so troubled with my 4 wasted years, money and effort with my unfinished papers when we havent engaged her services yet. She would always comfort me and say that why should i give up now that we are almost there. And true enough, am so glad now telling everybody, with my head up that soon i will be getting my green card from the mail. She is so credible in her craft, so excellent in all the documentary requirements that when completed, we sent all my papers to her. Believe it or not, upon her filing my papers in october, 2018, successive notices of action came from the dept of homeland security, that my I-485 & I-765 were already under process at the next early month of november. I was then required to do the biometrics and medical. Then came my employment permit and employment authorization card which i presented to the social security administration so an ss number will already be issued to me. Basing on the experiences of my philippine friends, they waited for almost a year and a half for the processing of their papers. I have undergone last may 6, the interview at the homeland security prior to the issuance of my green card. Am now just waiting for the 90-day period, as i was advised, for the release of my green card. Everything in a 6-month period processing is so amazing, through the help of an excellent and credible immigration lawyer, Atty. Grace Esnardo. I pray, may her tribe increase, because of her pure heart. Mabuhay po kayo!

great knowledge and will Take the extra effort to serve clients’ needs.

I had complicated immigration problem with my immigration case, I had criminal case and I hire Grace for my Green card interview and I had my green card interview in Fairfax VA but in last minute Immigration office inform me that my interview is going to be in Norfolk va when I told her she told me ...no problem she will meet me there. She drove 3 hr and 29 minutes to meet me in immigration office. Ms Esnardo told me to be honest and tell the truth. Immigration officer just asked me 2 questions and then told me congratulations I got my Green card. After sometimes I had other interview for my Citizenship and now I am Proud American Citizen. Ms. Esnardo is a caring and professional attorney who responds quickly and pays attention to detail. She is reasonable, has great knowledge and will make the extra effort to serve clients’ needs. I highly recommend her.

Life saver

Grace is a skilled samurai of immigration law with the heart of a nun. She hand in hand walked me from the initiation of my marriage process to the unfortunate dissolve of the union due to my partners substance abuse all the while securing my green card status. Today I am proud to state my eligibilit...y for citizenship would not be feasible if it was not for her. After 7yesrs of loyal service she is not only a lawyer, she is family.

PERM

Atty. Grace Esnardo is very knowledgeable in processing H1B, PERM and Green Card. We asked for her assistance from the time we are having problem with our previous lawyer. Our boss transferred to her upon high recommendation from a friend. She continued to process our H1B all the way getting our Gree...n Card just recently. She is very reasonable in terms of pricing. Very honest plus don't charge like a metered cab. You will surely get positive result!
