I count myself fortunate to have found Art Serratelli! Art, his partner Mara, and team member Sara are amazing lawyers. They are authentic, knowledgeable, and professional. From the very beginning they took me under their wings and guided me through the completion of the Green Card process. Thank you, Serratelli-Mijal for your support!

Excellent service all the way through!
Art, and his team with Sara and Mara were absolutely a pleasure to work with. They were professional, got things done on time, were very supportive of us throughout the processes of obtaining permanent residency, its renewal, and then citizenship. Plus Art has quite a sense of humor!

They brought a human touch to an otherwise dehumanizing process. Friendly and efficient!

H1B case approved
I would like to express my immense gratitude to Mr. Serratelli, My H1B was approved within 8 days of the receipt notice from USCIS. I really enjoyed talking to Mr. Serratelli. He is extremely fun to talk to, but also very professional at the same time. After talking to him, I felt very relaxed and knew that his law firm would be best to handle my case as he gave him great confidence and was answering all my questions with technical expertise, that I had no doubt at all. I would recommend anyone who is looking to file their H1B, green card, or immigration related case please reach out to Mr. Serratelli. His law firm is the best in handling immigration related cases and I assure you would have nothing to worry about. I am very happy and stress free, all thanks to Mr. Serratell

Great experience
We love working with Art for our marriage green card case. Art is so patient with answering all our concerns. He actually always met with us for much longer than we booked. He and his team helps us navigate this complicated process in a professional and caring way.

Professional, Knowledgeable and Super Helpful!
I can't tell how much I appreciate the amazing work Arthur did on my behalf. Mr. Serratelli and his team is amazing! Arthur answered every question I asked him even though I have not paid a single penny, it was completely free consultation over the emails. And to cherry on the top, I told him since he helped me so much I am willing to pay some amount and he said no need, "I am happy to help". This simple statement make him the star attorney! I must say there are not much lawyers out there who has a gold heart like Arthur. I wish the entire team the best of luck and will certainly recommend them to anyone who need help for their immigration. I am beyond grateful for them.

Art and Mara were ALWAYS by my side!!!
Art and Mara are amazing!!! They support me for years and always trying to assist! Serratelli Mijal are very trustworthy and knowledgeable. If they can't help - they'll tell you that, and won't give you some BS. Trust is pretty critical when you put your life in someone's hands, and Art and Mara deserve the trust! Thank you very much for all your help over the years!!!

Excellent and understanding team, timely communicators.
My EB-2 NIW petition was successful through the help of Art+Mara and their team. They communicated very clearly and in a timely manner. People say "It's the little things that matter." This is very true in my interaction with Art+Mara & their team. One of those little things is that they acknowledge email receipt by replying with "You're welcome", even in instances when one wouldn't expect a reply. This kept me rest assured that they're actively engaged with my case. I never had a reason to worry from the moment they took on my case all through to final approval. The team is extensively knowledgeable. I received consistent and accurate information, and they kept abreast with the myriad of immigration developments that might impact my case. I will be recommending Art's services to my colleagues, friends, and family!

Knowledgeable, caring, competent
I met Art in an airport many years before I ever thought I would have a reason to use the services of an immigration lawyer, but I remembered his passion for the subject. Years later I researched his background and contacted Art again; he and his team put together my wife’s green card application and prepared us for the interview. The team promptly answered all questions throughout the process. Art personally spent a lot of time getting us ready for the interview and clearly cares very much about this calling and about each of his individual clients. We were overprepared and that helped lower our anxiety and calm our nerves. The green card was approved within an hour after the interview.

Excellent Immigration Services
Arthur Serratelli did an amazing job with my Green Card process sponsored by my employer. They were available to immediately answer hundreds of questions of mine, throughout the long process of my green card sponsorship (more than 2 years total). Excellent immigration firm and I would recommend to anyone in the entire 50 states of the US to contact Arthur Serratelli's immigration firm.

Brought us so much peace during a very stressful time
Arthur answered every question we brought to him and walked us through an extremely helpful mock-interview for our green card meeting. We felt so much more prepared when the big day finally came thanks to him and his team & my wife has now been approved for her green card! Highly highly highly recommend. Incredibly valuable service.

Amazing and Honest
I and my employer hired Serratelli Mijal for my employment-based green card. Art and all his team did a great job. We went from a friendly meeting in the Starbucks of a corner, to my Green Card case approved!. They always answer all my questions as soon as possible, most of the times after 15 minutes of sending them an email, I will already have an answer from them. Very professional and willing to tell you the truth!. They have well structured and fixed prices. If that is not enough, the day of my interview, even the officer interviewing me told me that my lawyers did a great job! I really recommend Art and his team you will not regret it.

Green Card for Iranian Citizen
Serratelli Mijal helped my wife and I through the process of obtaining her green card. They did a great job! They were very responsive to all of our inquiries, and really prepared us well for the interview. Their recommendations for what to bring and what to expect were spot on. We went in armed with tons of documentation, and the interviewer told us we were better prepared than most people he deals with. She was approved on the spot! It was definitely a worthy investment.

Amazing Lawyer
We hired Serratelli Mijal to help us in processing my Green Card application all the way to final approval and even beyond. We were guided through the entire process by Sara and Mara who were extremely responsive and gave us excellent advise regarding when to file what and what needed to be sent in with which application. Just before the interview we had a Skype call with Arthur (despite us being out of the country at the time) who reviewed our documents, walked us through the entire process and eased all our concerns to the point that we were not super worried when we walked in for the actual interview. I can not recommend Serratelli Mijal highly enough and would encourage anyone looking for a lawyer to strongly consider them.

PROFESSIONAL + FUN + AMAZING
My husband and I worked with Art, Sara, and Mara for our marriage based green card. I changed my status from a F1 visa to permanent residence. I applied for OPT after my F1 with my DSO but it got denied because the application was turned in too early (more than 60 days prior to when my program ended) the USICIS told me that it was denied about 3 months after my F1 visa ended- my grace period was over, I contacted Art and his team immediately to proceed my marriage based green card. All 3 of them were super knowledgeable, professional and Art was fun to work with on Skype, kind of took of the edge and the nervousness of our whole process. We turned in our applications for advance parole / combo card and adjustment of status / green card on September 12th, and in early December (LESS THAN 3 MONTHS LATER) we got our green card interview scheduled on December 17th and GOT MY GREEN CARD TODAY IN THE MAIL (Dec 22nd) before we even receive the combo card to work and travel or anything lol. Now that’s all irrelevant. The whole process took about 3 months and 10 days ._. UNBELIEVABLE. Thank you guys so so much Art, Sara and Mara You’re amazing at what you do and change hundreds (maybe thousands by now?) of ppl’s lives :)

Wow! Where to begin! Loved our journey in working with Art and his wonderful team all the way from our first correspondence email to the very last moment when we received a successful approval of our marriage green card filling. The excellence and high prorfessionalism of Art and his team is beyond description! Prompt response to any question, continual guidance through the entire process, and an overall enjoyable experience! Art made a complicated process seem not only doable, but also pleasant! Thank you for your hard work and support! We can’t express our gratitude for all your support!

Immigration services
Immigration lawyer helped me with filing appropriate paperwork to USCIS for a green card through marriage. The consultation was free and the team was willing to answer all my questions before making the jump. The process was very easy, since the team send me a list with all the information they needed to file with USCIS. Art takes time to Skype or set a meeting up with you to go over several issues/points to see what is best for you. He will give you advise and explain the process as detailed as possible. He made our experience very smooth and it did not feel like a transaction. Thank you for your help!
