Best of luck to you!

First, Ms. Van Wormer was very successful helping my wife receive U.S. Residency. When you explain your case to Ms. Van Wormer, she will communicate clearly what your chances are for success. Next, she will let you know your option(s) should you decide to move forward with your case. Ms. Van Wormer w...ill let you know what she expects from you and what she will do for your case in order to be successful. What is important to understand is that Ms. Van Wormer will be completely honest with you and she will use her skills and experience to help you resolve your case favorably for you. Also, just as important to know is that Ms. Van Wormer is very proactive and skillful when working USCIS',s processes and procedures. I had a couple of lawyers prior and truly wish we had found Ms. Van Wormer first, because she is very knowledgeable, experienced, proactive, and communicates well. You could not be in better hands. That is why we are coming back to Ms. Van Wormer when it is time for my wife to apply for her U.S. Citizenship. Best of luck to you! v/r S.J. Clark

I would definitely recommend them

My family and I had the pleasure of working with the firm, specifically Rachel. She was not only very knowledgeable, but also extremely professional and helpful. Out case was rather unique, but she knew exactly how to handle. I would definitely recommend them and would go back if we need it again.

We look forward to working with you again in the future!

I cannot say enough about Rachel. She is always professional and compassionate. She helped my husband and I through a very long, fairly complicated immigration situation. She is extremely knowledgeable and was always available to thoroughly explain an and all questions we ever had. I know that it is,... in part, because of her hard work and dedication that my husband is here with me today. I cannot thank her enough. I hops she realizes what an important role she has played in our lives. Thank you, thank you, thank you Rachel! We look forward to working with you again in the future!

Rachel is very pleasant to work with

Rachel is very pleasant to work with. We did both working visa and green card with her. She is professional and provides us with every details and concerns regarding the case. One important aspect which I especially appreciate is her willingness in taking suggestions from us and adding additional mat...erials. She is also patient, and timely in responding to my emails and phone calls. Overall, it has been a very good experience and Rachel keeps follow-ups and providing important notes after we submitted the applications.

Rachel is a great lawyer and highly reliable.

My family's case was previously handled by two other immigration lawyers before I found Rachel. My issues and bad experiences with the former lawyers were completely the opposite of what Rachel is and what she has done for us. She is very professional, knowledgeable and thorough, empathetic and war...m. She responded to my emails and phone calls with promptness and really found time to sit down with you whenever I requested to. She efficiently handled our case throughout the entire process without wasting any time. She knows and understands how critical and valuable time is to her clients in immigration cases. Rachel is a great lawyer and highly reliable. It was a truly great experience for me and my family to have worked with Rachel on our case. My family is very fortunate and blessed to have met Rachel and handled our immigration case to its successful conclusion and completion.
