N 400

We Initially contacted to Mr. Alex Miller to get consultation of my Husband's N400 case as USCIS did not make any decision after my husband passing of citizenship test. My husband was harassed during the citizenship interview by the DHS officer. Even after 120 days of him passing of citizenship test... we did not hear anything from USCIS. Mr. Miller advised us various options and one of them was to file lawsuit against USCIS. He answered all of our questions and explained everything so well that we decided to hire him and file Mandamus. Mr. Miller prepared and filed the Mandamus for my husband and USCIS approved his case within 14 days of filing lawsuit. Now my husband has already taken oath and has become US citizen. I am really grateful for Mr. Miller's suggestions, help and guidance when we were so confused and didn't know what to do.

Help with J1 waiver and green card

My husband (a US citizen) and I reached out to Alex about a J-1 waiver after being either turned away or misinformed by several other attorneys. Because of the two-year home residency requirement tied to my J-1 visa, we couldn’t move forward with a green card through marriage until the waiver was res...olved. Alex and Taylor (the paralegal who worked with us), were the first to lay out a realistic plan of action toward a waiver and a green card and give us a little bit of hope. They helped us pursue a no objection letter, with Taylor even going to the embassy on our behalf multiple times. When that option didn’t work out, my husband and I were fully prepared to pack up and leave the country. But they encouraged us to consider a hardship waiver instead—and it turns out, they were right. They worked with us for months on the waiver, giving clear direction on how to build our case, organize evidence, and draft all the required documents. When we got an RFE, they handled it and even helped contact congressional reps to support our case. Once the hardship waiver was approved, they filed our green card application right away. From that point on, things were smooth—minus one minor RFE, which they also handled without issue. They also made sure everything was coordinated properly between my personal immigration process and my work visa status, which could’ve easily gotten messy. Alex is knowledgeable, well-connected, never sugar-coating and transparent when he didn’t know something. He would follow up after researching or reaching out to contacts to get us answers. Taylor is beyond competent, prompt, comforting and "knows how to read a room". He was funny when I needed someone to lighten up the mood, serious when he needed to be, and he always followed through! We’re truly grateful to Alex and his team for listening, providing clear answers, and making the effort to understand our complex situation without applying a cookie-cutter approach to our unique case. They were genuinely invested in getting things done right.

Quick Delay Solution with USCIS

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Miller on my I-485 case, which had been significantly delayed at the Washington, D.C. office. His expertise and professionalism made a substantial difference; after filing a Writ of Mandamus, I received my Green Card within just one month. Mr. Miller and his tea...m were incredibly responsive, addressing all my questions with clarity and efficiency. His dedication and commitment to resolving issues with USCIS are outstanding. I highly recommend Miller Law Firm to anyone seeking prompt and effective legal assistance in immigration matters. Thank you so much again!

Impeccable Service!

We are very thankful and grateful on the immigration services provided by Atty. Alex Miller and his staff. Atty. Miller was recommended by my K-9 officer friend who’s very helpful and gave me inspiration to pursue our case. I will never forget the first time I met with him, he made me feel comforta...ble and very hopeful. He is very professional, knowledgeable and really cares about his clients, understands our worries and concerns. He calls, emails, to make sure that we’re up to date with our case. He also makes sure that we understand the legal terms and explain it in layman’s language. We have challenges along the way, but he was able to make us feel that everything is heading towards the right direction. Patience is virtue. We finally got our Green Card and bright future is ahead of us. If not for Atty. Miller’s guidance and unwavering support, we will not be able to pursue our dream. I highly recommend Atty. Miller and his staff for his impeccable service; everything is so worth it. Kudos to Alex Miller, Yira Pichardo and all his staff who made our journey truly a success.
