Removal of conditional status approved!!

We had some issues with our green card processing and Grace was able to fix it. She is approachable with a reasonable price. Grace is very reliable and one of the best immigration lawyers I’ve known. She wants to get the job done with no mistakes. I’m very grateful for what she did for both me and ...my wife. Grace thank you so much for you have made our dream into reality.

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.

Amazing Grace

I contacted Grace when I had issue with immigration and I had to appear for removal proceedings. She took my wife and I on as a client. For years she had to file motions and represent me. Through it all, she was professional and most of all gracious in times of serious stress and anxiety. She wil...l sometimes call to just check on how I was doing, which I really appreciate and those calls gave me a sense of calm. The other thing I found refreshing was the fact that she wasn't shy to tell me the blunt TRUTH, no matter how unnerving it might sound, but after that she will tell me her game plan, step by step. She promised to go above and beyond for me, and she did, my issue with immigrations was resolved May this year, Grace has been my attorney since 2014 and she kept her words. If you're looking for an immigration attorney that will represent you passionately and always tell you the truth, Grace Esnardo is the person you need to call. Her fees are reasonable and she works hard for every penny of it, she's experienced, she's smart and throughout my ordeal she was kind, thats why I titled this as "Amazing Grace". Thank you Grace

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!
