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.

Highly recommended!

My husband and I found Moona via an online search. We chose her services based on the other great reviews and we were not disappointed! Very open, honest communication and very accessible to answer questions. Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable Immigration lawyer.

Moona is very thorough in processing immigration applications and her successful rate is very high

Moona is our company immigration attorney for the last 15 years. She has successfully processed several H1b, and green cards for our company employee including me .I was kept informed of all actions and progress through emails, and phone calls. It was never hard to reach her and she replied our ques...tions promptly. I impressed by her professionalism, honesty, and empathy with clients. She argues with the perfect balance of logic, passion, and confidence. She is incredibly intelligent. I honestly recommend Moona to anyone in need of legal assistance in immigration...Ibrahim

An excellent and knowledgeable lawyer in Arlington

We enlisted Ms. Shakil’s services when we were going through the process of applying for a Greencard. When deciding which lawyer to choose, we shortlisted several in the Arlington, VA area and spoke to multiple on the phone, and we were most impressed with Moona. Over the phone, she seemed very o...pen and willing to have a dialogue with us, so we chose to schedule a consultation with her. The consultation just cemented to us what a good attorney Ms. Shakil was. She outlined to us in great detail all the steps of our application process, and all of the things that were our responsibility and things she could help us with. She reassured us that she would be with us every step of the way, so we chose to retain her services. Throughout the application process, she could not have been a more pleasant person to work with. She was very prompt in returning calls and emails, and always made time to clarify any questions or concerns we had. She eased all of our concerns and made the application process as painless as possible. She also made herself available to represent us at the USCIS interview. We would wholeheartedly recommend the services of Ms. Shakil to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer in the DC/Northern Virginia/MD area.

Knowledgeable, Competent, and Efficient Immigration Lawyer

Moona Shakil has a vast amount of experience and knowledge in immigration law, and that becomes immediately apparent in conversations with her. She is an impressive, competent and conscientious lawyer who helped come through for us with a unique circumstance in my sister-in-law's immigration case. Sh...e was at a loss and under stress, not knowing how to proceed. I had heard about Moona and, after an initial consultation, decided to retain her services. Moona discussed the situation at length and helped her submit everything we needed for my sis-in-law's specific case. Moona had handled the case with much patience, professionalism, and efficiency. Not only that, Moona saved our family a lot of undue stress and answered any questions we had related to the case. Competent lawyer! Excellent service! Go with her, and you will not regret!
