Best immigration lawyer handsdown

In a nutshell, Moona has been a blessing. I came to the US a few years back, and like with any other aspiring immigrant, there are a lot of steps involved in order to become legalized and stay and work in the country. From the very start, I have used Moona's services, and she is simply exemplary. A f...ew points that I will highlight below which I believe are unique to her alone and no other immigration attorney: 1) She is always quick to respond to your emails (within 48 hours) 2) You call her, she picks up. If she does not pick up, she calls you back 3) She discusses your case at length with you and helps you evaluate all possible options. She is a true team player who takes your issue as her's and helps you solve it. 4) She is very prompt with everything and I have never felt the need to go and visit her personally to discuss my case and have it processed. From 1500 miles away, she has helped me with my immigration process over the phone and via email, and everything has went smoothly due to her expertise and assistance. I highly recommend every ambitious immigrant to hire her for their immigration needs. She is professional, courteous, prompt, and above all, she gets the job done.

Great shepherd through the difficult process!

Moona has been a great shepherd through the green card process for my mother - she gave us sound, measured advice at multiple stages throughout the process from applying for the green card to accompanying us at the interview. At the end of the day, she was very thorough, personable and well-informed ...about the ins-and-outs of immigration law. I will happily recommend Moona's services to anybody who wants a genuine immigration attorney who is interested in guiding you through the process, rather than simply collecting fees.

Extremely helpful service

Moona was an outstanding attorney. She was extremely helpful - very patient and clear - and took the time to answer every question that we had during the process of applying for my wife's green card. Moona made every step easier and less complicated than they otherwise would have been. We feel very l...ucky that we had Moona to help us along the way, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family.

Moona is methodic, simple, and on the nose.

I had three year's bachelors degree from Pakistan and my permanent residence aka green card application was denied twice because our previous attorney did not file the application properly. I lost about 6 years and my H1-B extensions were running out. We did our research and switched to Moona to hand...le the case. She came with a plan, guided our HR through the steps, and I got my application approved in about a year. She is courteous, detail oriented, and above all expert in her profession. Highly recommended.

Attentive, smart, compassionate. Moona will be your best resource.

My spouse and I hired Moona to help us navigate the stressful USCIS paperwork for a fiancee (K1) visa. Her services were so helpful that we hired her again to help us adjust our status for a Green Card. Throughout the whole process (which took 1 year and a half), Moona was our trusted guide and ens...ured that our paperwork was 100% correct so that we did not run afoul of USCIS rules or incur months of delays/waiting. What many people do not realize when they start immigration processing for loved ones is that USCIS paperwork is very complicated. A single mistake can cost you months of waiting or a denied application. We had many questions and Moona gave us fact-driven, sensible answers (without over-promising or selling us a false sense of security). Moona knew the right way to navigate the process, and the peace of mind that we had as a result of her services was well worth the price. She helped us fill out our applications, contacted USCIS on our behalf, and was available by email to answer any other questions that we had during the process. Overall, A+++, top notch service.
