Dynamic Experience

Mrs. Lawrence took on our case for spousal visa in January of 2020. Throughout the entire process it was communicated what our next steps would be. We were able to ask questions and our face to face meetings before the pandemic were instrumental in helping us feel confident and taken care of knowing... that we did not have to prove our case alone. The team exercise clear communication when requesting forms and notifying us each step of the way. We are happy to share that as of May 2021 our green card has ben received and we can't thank the entire team enough for their professionalism and support throughout this journey.

APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF STATUS

A family friend referred my wife and me to Lawyer Elizabeth in June 2019 when I wanted to file for permanent residence and change of status from B1. She was very articulate about all the documents we needed to provide and also about the immigration process and timeline. We filed and USCIS received ou...r case on July 3rd, 2019 EAD was approved in December 2019 Notice to appear for interview in March 2020 Interview rescheduled due to COVID restrictions Interview rescheduled again for September 16, 2020 The case was approved and I received my Permanent Resident Card in the mail 10 days later. Lawyer Elizabeth was super helpful every step of the way as she prepared us for the interview and I would recommend anyone who needs immigration assistance and lawful guidance should contact her immediately. Thanks, Lawyer Elizabeth!!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
