An Excellent Immigration Lawyer

My dealing with Ms Buwalda was to help friends that are not fluent in English. Ms. Buwalda was very helpful in all cases of Asylum or helping people to prepare affidavit and applications to apply for visas for their spouses. She always kept me informed with any development in the case and was very ...understanding for the financial situation of her clients.

Excellent & Honest Lawyer

Ann has been our immigration lawyer for more than twenty years. She helped us in many aspects of immigration matters. She is very honest, loyal, considerate and straight forward. Not only that she is very knowledgeable in the immigration laws, but she is also very creative in finding a legal solution... to every case. This can be demonstrated when my niece was aged out under the petition submitted to her dad by her grandmother. Ann suggested to use my old petition as her dad's brother so my niece could benefit as a beneficiary of this second petition by re-immigrating her dad who was already immigrated through her grandmother petition. The reason Ann recommended that, is because she found out that my niece, even though she aged out under her grandmother petition, but she still did not age out under my petition. She processed this case efficiently and in a timely manner and my niece is now a legal permanent resident in the United States. Now, Ann is processing my niece's petition to her husband.

The Best Lawyer ever

I had a complicated immigration case that kept me in darkness for over 20 years. I feel privileged to have not just a lawyer who does good job but one that have handle my case in an extremely competent and professional manner Ann and her team were unbelievably helpful and supportive. They kept ...me informed, were extremely approachable, and didn't make any false promises. Everything worked out find I was really happy with how I was being treated and the advice that I was given and the result of my case Ann and her team goes above and beyond and responds to emails promptly and at any hours of the day/night even on the weekends just to keep me in the loop. I have dealt with several lawyers in the pass and have not encountered anyone like her. I enthusiastically recommend her! she is the best and I Thank God for person like her and her team.....

Mr.

With Ann Buwalda's attorney expertise, I speedily obtained my conditional green card that's currently positioned me to soon be blessed with permanent residency. U.S. citizenship should be ago a year down the road.
