My Experience with my Immigration Case

My name is Ms. Consolata and Mrs. Takemori has represented me since 2010 when my mother petitioned for me. My case was a complicated one and an erroneous decision was made at the US Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya. My Attorney Gina Michele Takemori was able to defend my case with LegalNet at the Departmen...t of State and to have the Embassy reverse their decision. It was only in September 2021 that I was given my immigrant visa and allowed to return to the United States of America. During the whole process from the time my case was filed and during the time I was abroad, my Attorney never abandoned me. She checked on me, updated me regularly, encouraged me, checked with the Department of State and the Embassy whenever necessary. Attorney Takemori and her team are seasoned Lawyers and Paralegals who have the knowledge, experience in immigration law and work diligently with care and empathy and can be trusted. For these reasons I would highly recommend them to anybody, especially to people who have complicated cases.

Best Immigration lawyer

Ms. Gina was outstanding working with me on my immigration case. Didn't care about money. All she said was help me help you and your family, when things go well, you will pay me. I was working in the warehouse and couldn't afford to pay a lawyer. She asked me to pay what ever i could every month. Aft...er my case was granted, she assisted me to file for my family at no extra cost. Ms Gina put people and her experience to serve, no comes later. Go Ms. Gina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yuri

Hello, My Name is Yuri and I am from Honduras. I always wanted to be a nurse and a USA citizen. I thought that those things would never happen to me, but in 2012 I became a nurse and in 2015 I got a green card. I though getting a green card was more than impossible, but for Gina, there is nothing imp...ossible. She and her assistances were very attentive, always answering my questions, encouraging when I had doubts and best of all, they give me the feeling that they had my back and they would do absolutely everything on their power to help me. She also helped my mother, my mother's green card is on its way, after other lawyers told her that she could not get one. I am very grateful for you Gina. I am going to Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador in a few days, while packing I think of you and I smile, I would not be packing for this amazing trip if it was it for you. Thank you very much, my the world pays you back for all the goodness you do. Your friend for life, Yuri

In one sentence, Gina is amazing.

Here's my story. I'm a Spaniard and live in New York City with my boyfriend. I work as a professional for the same firm for 8 years. My H1B Visa was to expire this year, but I very much wanted to stay, to work, to live, and to be with those I've who had become part of my life. And so did the compa...ny I work for, so they sponsored me for a green card. Earlier last year (2014), I retained counsel from another lawyer who had originally started my employer’s GC application. They shuffled their feet for months. The last straw was when they told me that they had priority clients (i.e., not me) to attend to. It was looking impossible for my firm to get the green card done with them and my visa was about to expire. The situation was extremely stressful. At this time, through a referral, I found Gina and I asked her if she could help us. She jumped into high gear immediately, seeing the urgency of the situation. From the moment Gina entered my life, the situation make a positive turn and I felt I was finally in good hands. For around a 2 week period, we exchanged (no exaggeration) at least 20 emails a day. She was on the case, and had thought of every contingency and within these two weeks my employer and I got all the applications done!!! She even got my H1B Visa extended as to minimize any possible issue. I can say with certainty that without Gina's professionalism, expert and fast work, I would not have had my green card application and my visa extension submitted on time. If you're looking for an immigration lawyer, I can recommend, without any reservation, Gina. Thank you for reading.

Gemma, Thank you so much for the glowing review. I have had such pleasure in representing you. You have been a dream to work with. I am heading to Spain on Sunday and have been thinking about you! The next time I am in the City - I promise we will meet and have that celebratory drink. Happy Holidays to you and yours and look forward to finalizing the year with good news about the GC. All my best, Gina xxx
