Strong and honest

I’ve been going to different immigration lawyers in NYC area about my very implicated immigration case . I spent thousands of my hard earn money in different law firms and individual lawyers, most of them just needs your money but they did not done anything on my case. After moving to VA few years... back I searched a law firm called Grace Esnardo. After schuleding the appointment with Grace, she told me that she needs to study my case first then she will tell me that if she can take my case or not. In my first meeting with Grace I found Grace is very honest person. Because I have all experience dealing with different lawyers. After couple of days she called and agreed that she will give a shot. She tried very hard and it took us six years to get approval in my i-485. But in those six years Grace was standing right next to me. I will never forget in my life what Grace has done for me . I strongly recommend to those who are fighting in immigration problems that you should hire Grace Esnardo as their attorney. Thank you Grace for all your help. Your friend Abbas will be there with you all the time.

SUCCESS!

I had hesitated at obtaining a lawyer for my case due to financial reason. Sure there are immigration firms that are affordable but you wouldn't know the extent of their services. Grace is so worthy of her fees and more! She was very approachable and prompt to response to my inquiries and clar...ifications. Her guidance, especially what your privileges are as soon as you file, are so precious that you feel secure the entire process. You only need to follow her advise and instructions and pray as you go along. I still feel privileged and giddy every time I think back to my adjustment of status case. My green card (family-based) was approved without interview! That is really something! The journey took more than a year and the delay was mostly to my not being able to provide all the docs upon filing. Still, the work permit and travel parole came at a reasonable time. The experience made me a firm believer of good representation. I felt that with an exceptional firm backing your application up, your case will be given a better evaluation. I look forward to getting her services again after two years to sponsor my family. So blessed to have known Grace!

The best immigration lawyer I have ever meet!

I don’t even know where to start, this women has been a blessing sent by God!!! I’m a single parent and for a while life was definitely kicking my butt, She is amazing, I had a complicated case and Multiple times I felt defeated, had tried numerous immigration attorneys until I came across Grace she ...is the sweetest person, honest, trustworthy and has years of experience and told me exactly what would happen every step of the way and how we would handle the situation! Since our first phone call I immediately felt relieved. it’s been a couple year now since I’ve worked with her and all I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart, if it wasn’t for all your help my child and I wouldn’t be in such a better place! By far the best immigration lawyer I have ever met!

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!
