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.

Straight forward, honest and helpful

I applied for my marriage based green card through Moona Shakil. She has been a great support. Whenever me and my husband had any questions, she always replied through email or phone. We like the way she handles her cases - straight forward and honest. Initially we have been to another lawyer for my ...case who never clearly said anything to us. Then I found Moona Shakil through Google search and the reviews she had from her clients. I must say we could not get a better lawyer than her. We were very comfortable to discuss with her anything related to our case. She has a great capability of explaining clearly and concisely. We will surely come to her for any future need. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and honest lawyer.

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!

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.
