Professional and helpful

My husband and I came to Moona needing much help in trying to get a green card in the US. Going in we didn’t know very much. Ms. Shakil was very helpful and professional and guided us through the whole process in great detail. Throughout our time with Ms. Shakil, she always kept on top of making sure... we were on the same page with everything and made sure we understood what we were applying for and what kind of obsicles we had to face and prepare for. We are very happy with the work she has done for us and helping us through this very tedious and sometimes stressful process. Moona Shakil is an amazing women with great skills and knowledge of the immigration field. We plan on following up with her for citizenship in the future.

Moona Shakil and her team are simply the best!

Ms. Shakil and her team are outstanding professionals and have profound understanding of their job. My spouse and I had a great experience all the way from K-1 visa to Green Card. Ms. Shakil is not only extremely reliable and very talented attorney but also is a very nice person which is important f...or client-attorney relationship. Whenever I needed her help or simply had a question Ms. Shakil and her team were always there to help me.This is exactly why I am going to continue my path to citizenship with Ms. Shakil in the future. Thank you Moona.

Made the green card process a breeze

My husband was in the US from Canada on a TN visa, and we went to Moona to help us with the process of getting a Green Card and transitioning from a non-permanent residency to a permanent one. When my husband and I initially got engaged, we were worried about his status on a non-permanent visa with t...he intent of staying, so I found her via Yelp, and she was immediately very responsive to emails, telling us that we were fine and to contact her when we actually got married. After getting married, we had an initial consultation which was very informative, and we agreed to start the paperwork with Moona. After that, everything was very easy- we filled out minimal amounts of paperwork and supplied her with all of our necessary documentation. When that was finished, we met with her to go over the final paperwork to submit it. Once we received our scheduled interview appointment, we met with her again to go over what would be asked, what to bring, etc. Between our first meeting and getting the green card in the mail, I think it was about 6-7 months. The entire process was entirely non-stressful and easy because of Moona, and we are forever grateful!

Definitely the best attorney I have met.

I had the good luck that my company selected Moona to help us out with this lengthy, painful and stressful Green Card process. She is a very knowledgeable and supportive attorney that always made me feel that I was in the best hands and every time we had a stone or any bump in the road she was always... there for me and to help me stay relaxed and focused. She never gave me false hopes and was always upfront and honest along the whole process, which made me trust her and I knew she was taking care of my case and feel everything was going to be fine, and at the end it was, so we will always be thankful to her for all her support and the end result. I definitely recommend her without any hesitation.

Amazing service

I recently got married overseas and I was really lost about the complete immigration process. Mrs Moona was able to clear out that confusion and helped with every single thing I possibly need to make my case successful. she walked me over the pitfalls I should prevent in order expedite the process. S...he was also very responsive either through phone or email, always there to help. After only 10 months I was able to bring my wife, this duration is way below the normal 12 months to 2 yrs average that people usually go through to bring their spouses from overseas.
