Citizenship interview

She made an explanation that was certainly very helpful. I had anxious thoughts. He kept me calm with the advice he gave me. Thank you.

Dissatisfied

Here is my experience with Irina Vinogradsky: I found Irina online to hire her for my H1B RFE response. She and I scheduled a time to make the payment & sign the engagement letter at her office. However, when I visited her office, there was no engagement letter prepared by her. I was running o...ut of time to respond to this RFE and I did trust her to represent my case professionally and paid her the full amount. For RFE, it is necessary to provide expert and education evaluation reports. However, i was the one reaching out to her trying to find a company to evaluate my degree and occupation. However, between October 10 to November 2, only question she did ask me regarding my case was about the organizational chart of my company. My employer got impatient and considered withdrawing the application. Of course, i did ask for a refund. She said she put many hours on my case, and she could refund less than half of what I paid. I agreed, but I wanted to see the draft she worked on. Unfortunately she told me that she was not sure how this draft document would be in use, so she rejected to mail the document. After many attempts, she did mail me the draft documentation. On the document, my salary was shown less than what my company offered me. Also she put on the document that my company needed an H1B worker to support company's operations in China and Vietnam. I mean my company's marketing tagline is 'Proudly manufactured in USA'. My company does NOT operate in China or Vietnam. Plus my salary is way above than what she put on the paperwork! Long story short, I am extremely disappointed. I do not recommend her.

From denial to an approval in one day !!!! (I-485)

She is the only one I would be referring to if needing an immigration help, my case was denied I-485 and had an advisory from her She told me excactly what to do and where to do it , so a day after I send out my motion and the followed day guess what !! Case got APPROVED !! What a great lawyer !!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
