Karen got my mom a green card after the embassy denied the case!

Karen helped me because I wanted to file an appeal for my mom after her immigrant visa was denied. It felt great and reassured in a realistic way. She was very realistic of the situation, but at the same time she was trying. I felt like I was working with the right person. The money I paid was cert...ainly a good investment. At the time, it was a high fee, but for what they were doing, I thought that if it was going to change the result, it was worth it! I would tell others in my situation do not give up! Sometimes, when it comes to immigration, I know a lot of people get denied for minor reasons. If you get a good lawyer, the outcome will be completely different. Sometimes you go to a lawyer that asks for everything up front, and if the case is denied, then you lost all of that money. But it wasn’t like that with Karen. Karen did a wonderful job! My mom is here now, and she’s really enjoying it.

Painless process getting approved : EB2-NIW for a PhD Student

Siskind Susser was one of the most respected immigration law firms in the USA with multiple offices including a local office in Atlanta. I spoke to a few other lawyers in Atlanta but I found their credentials somewhat lacking. Many graduated from law schools I've never heard of and they were the only... lawyer in the firm. Some lawyers also didn't project confidence about my case saying that it's a hard case. (I did call few well known lawyers outside Georgia but they were not confident about my case….) Karen's office had well credentialed lawyers, and when I spoke to Karen, she sounded very knowledgeable and talked about how she was going to tackle the case. She helped me get my green card through the EB2-NIW program. As a Ph.D. student, I didn't expect the NIW process to be so painless but it was. I also got married while my case was pending so she also handled my wife's case which was even more smooth. I felt confident that my case was in good hands. It was definitely a good investment. Now, I have the freedom to work anywhere and anytime. My wife can now pursue a legal career in USA, which was not possible as a non-resident. For any complex immigration issues, seek Karen at Siskind Susser. I've already referred one friend of mine.

Dream maker

Karen has made an outstanding job helping achieve our dreams. Her dedication surpasses all expectations, and her expertise is reflected with positive results. Our case was described as very difficult the first time we attempted to hire our legal representation, the second opinion came from a high pr...ofiled immigration Lawyer whom recommended to no further seek Citizenship status due to the high risk of deportation. This was devastating news to my family, without Citizenship there would be no hope of legalizing them, and life in the shadows, under constant fear would continue. As a last resort and after many prayers, we visited Karen at her office, her staff treated us very warm and were attentive to our concern. Karen immediately began working after reviewing the documents and confirming that there would be no problems or risk of deportation, she truly changed our lives forever. I can not imagine the troublesome, sleepless nights if she had not helped us. I became a US Citizen four months after our first interview, and my wife became a permanent alien shortly after that. Do not hesitate contacting Karen, she really is the best and will bring you the results you are so much hoping for.

Karen got us the Green Cards in less then 2 months!

In July of 2012 my husband’s name was selected in the GC lottery pool. Since we were already living in the US (my husband was on a student visa and I was on a work visa) we tried to file the necessary documentation on our own. After realizing that the process was very overwhelming and not finding cle...ar answers online we decided to consult with an immigration attorney. A friend recommended Karen to us and we decided to hire her after the first meeting, which took place in mid-August. She explained the process very clearly and we were grateful that she was able to take our case at the time. One thing was clear: we had to get all the necessary paperwork form our home country, fill out USCIS forms, complete biometric screening, interviews and be approved for the green card before the end of September. We tried not to keep our hopes too high because we had one and a half months left! Karen worked very hard in getting all the paperwork ready and reaching out and following up with the USCIS on our behalf. She did more than we ever expected from an attorney and always had time to answer our questions (and there were a lot of them). Her dedication, knowledge and hard work were crucial in getting the green cards for us. On month after we hired her, she was able to get us the interviews at the USCIS, which was the final step in the process. This was unheard of!! Today, my husband and I are both green card holders thanks to Karen! This was a life changing moment for us and it would have never happened had we not hired Karen!

Great attorney

Karen is an amazing attorney. She held my hands through out the process and made the process so easy. I had been told by many attorneys that my case was impossible but Karen gave me hope from the first day. She and Kristen communicated with me every step of the way. They also have a wonderful payment... plan that made it easy for me to start the process. In less than six months, I became a legal permanent resident. I will be forever grateful!!!
