Excellent Service

We very strongly recommend the services of Ms. Moona Shakil. My wife recently had received her permanent resident card after waiting for years. Ms. Moona is very responsive with questions we had and very professional in handling all matters in the case. She is very honest with her answers and provide...d excellent advice when we needed it. Thank you very much Ms. Shakil.

Extremely professional with tremendous amount of experience in immigration.

We worked with Moona for less than a year for an adjustment of status through marriage. Throughout the entire process, Moona was patient, attentive and shared insights that are not commonly known about USCIS. She and her staff work diligently to make sure your case is processed correctly and they set... you up for a smooth transition into being a permanent resident. Moona takes the time out to lay out all possible scenarios and is very straightforward with what needs to be said we weren't blindsided by anything. The day of the interview, it all went exactly how she had told us it would and she followed up with me til the day I received my green card in hand. I will be returning to work with Moona when it's time to renew my status and also to apply for citizenship and I recommend Moona to friends and family in the northern Virginia area.

Employment based + Cross-chargeability

My case was employment based + Cross-chargeability Moona is very humble at the same time very professional, my case wasn’t easy despite being it an employment-based because my case was one of those cases which needed documents from 2 different countries because of Cross-chargeability And I wo...uld say her knowledge helped us getting our green card exactly in 4 months. She listened to us and pointed us in the right direction to gather all the required documents. 1. Very Response with all means of communication, Phone, emails or in the office. 2. Good listener, not like any other attorney who will keep asking you document they want but she was so involved with our case that she knew what all documents we have and what is going to be helpful for our case. 3. Importantly very reasonable fees, and moreover not at all money grabber, with our contract there was an additional fee if we wanted her to join for the interview, she was so confident that she told me that she may not be needed for interview, but my thought process was we would be confident with her presence at the interview and we insisted her to join us. I would highly recommend her services.

Great service

I recommend The Law Office of Moona Shakil to everyone who is looking for an attorney that is professional, kind, available, and truly cares for her clients. Moona helped me with a very complex immigration case that at times seemed impossible to solve. She was honest from the beginning and explained ...to me every possible outcome, the obstacles, and every step that I had to take to submit the I-601A, Application for Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver. She kept me informed during the entire process and she helped me gather and send the dozens of documents that I was asked to submit and she gave me advice whenever I had plans to do something that could have potentially endangered the case and she showed me a better way to proceed, according to her vast experience and knowledge. In the end, my waiver was granted, and thanks to that, I could obtain my green card. I will forever be grateful for this law firm and will continue to seek its assistance in the future shall I need it.
