She is a great lawyer who helped my family with the long process of obtaining the greencard. Despite the difficulty, she was organized and always tried to help our needs.

Immigration help
Ms. Prister returned my phone call in less than 15 minutes to answer immigration questions I had for my mom while most lawyers wouldn't get you in without appointment. She takes her time to answer (in detail) all the questions. I definitely recommend her and will consult her in future for immigration help.

Green card
I found Emanuela on this website because I didn't have any references and couldn't have chosen better. She walked me thought how the process works and the possible outcomes based on my case. She always answered my phone calls and e-mails promptly and made sure that everything was submitted as quickly as possible. Working with her was a pleasure and made navigating the immigration process much easier than I thought it was going to be.
I would highly recommend Emanuela to anyone who is need of assistance with their immigration status. Her knowledge of the process is thorough and based on years of experience. She is a pleasure to interact with, and she makes sure that her clients have an understanding of all of the challenges that might arise. Even after I received my green card, Emanuela followed up and made sure that there were no other issues.

Emanuela has always done a great job from the very beginning when I joined the hospital. She has done my H1b transfer, renewed my visa couple of times and I-140. All my applications were approved first time and never got any RFE. I highly recommend Emanuela.

Very Dependable Lawyer !
I endorse this lawyer! Not after your money, all she want is you to get your green card. Emanuela Prister is an excellent , dependable, and honest Immigration attorney! She is very knowledgeable and undoubtedly an attorney who has skillfully mastered her primary area of practice. Emanuela is very compassionate about her clients’ welfare and uses her skills unselfishly to represent them in the immigration matters. She took care of my immigration matter in a timely and very professional manner. I applied my green card through my employer, took about 8 months and I had my 10 years permanent resident card. She always responded to my calls and always keeping me informed as well. Answered all my questions, explained every step and I always knew things ahead. Thank you Emanuela your are such a treasure !.

empathetic, always available and highly knowledgeable immigration attorney!
Emanuela helped me more than half a decade of my stay here in USA with all the immigration related documents, queries and processes. I would say, hands down, she was a greatest legal support to me and my family for all these years. I have never met with any other attorney who makes themselves available, listens to you and provide the support in a language you understand. Emanuela goes above and beyond to help you with your immigration processes. I would highly recommend her!

She is professional, knowledgeable, kind, friendly, honest, always available for you in a timely manner, very respectful and empathetic.

Professional, helpful and affable.
The H1B/GC process and was a long, tedious and nerve-wrecking experience but Emaunela has been nothing short of amazing throughout the whole process. She prepared and submitted the required documents and communicated throughout the entire process explaining what was expected and patiently addressed any questions I had. She handled all the complications very effectively and her advises helped me remain calm and optimistic when there any obstacles.
I am glad to have her represent me and I'd highly recommend her to friends/family who were looking for immigration related help.

She Gets It!
You know how frustrating the immigration process can get. You know when you are between a rock and a hard place and there is no immigration room to wiggle... and you are frustrated, and sad and unsure. She gets it. She knows how to create room for you within the confines of the law so you can consider your options. She is really good!

great experience
I worked with Emanuela Prister with my lengthy immigration process. I had GREAT experience, working with her. I never paid a dime for any of her consultation, even at the time when I was with different lawer. I can recall several instances, where I was on phone with her for almost an hour. She always answered my calls or called me back at her earliest convenience. Every time I panic when the process did not go smoothly, she would calm me down and I always felt better after I talked to her. I would recommend Emanuela for any kind of immigration process because she explains things well, easy to reach to, reasonable charges, and her legal experties.

Awesome Service
My husband and I had just received our green cards. As a nurse, my husband could apply for permanent residency, and I could also apply under him. A friend of ours referred us to Emanuela and we are so glad we decided to go with her. Emanuela is knowledgeable, made herself available to answer all our questions, and literally made the process VERY SMOOTH for us.
I just wanted to make sure I would write a review and express our gratitude. I would not hesitate to refer anyone who needs immigration services to her.

Caution
Emanuela made mistake with my dob and my wife's Alien # on our work permit documents. When it was brought to her attention, she didn't want to take any responsibility. Instead, she made us pay for the documents again. My wife had to stay home(loa-non pay) because of her mistake. Apparently, she had made a similar mistake with one of our friends also. I would not recommend her.
