EB1B Application for Permanent Residency

I found Mr. Soloway through this website and was impressed by the review to him, so I called his office. I started with a 30-minute appointment with Carolyn Soloway and I decided to hire Mr. Soloway on my EB1B application. The application process is indeed complicated and Mr. Soloway did an excelle...nt job guiding me through every step. Because my company hasn't done any EB1B application before, you can imagine how many questions my HR had, especially regarding the qualification of the company. Mr. Soloway was very patient and explained every question in details. He has abundant knowledge and experience in this field and knows how to handle various situations. He is also very efficient and responsive. He usually replies email in the same day. I would highly recommend him.

Excellent and Extremely Professional Immigration Attorney to work with (NIW-EB2)

David helped me through the process of filing NIW/EB2 application with the USCIS office. I personally believe he had a critical role in success of my application. The overall experience was very satisfying, and below are a few items related to my experience that I would like to highlight. - At the ...beginning of the process David has a lengthy conversation with the client to evaluate the case in detail. And later in the process, if necessary, he will have more conversations with you to help you understand the strength points of your case and how you should focus on those points to build a strong case. He will give you the time and the quality service that you need. - In my case, several unexpected situations occurred, and in every situation David was very attentive and provided very useful advises on how to adjust my application to accommodate all those changes. I know that he went beyond his responsibilities to maintain the quality of my case. - After drafting each reference letter, David thoroughly reviews the letters and provides useful comments. - He is very responsive, he always always responds to emails/phone calls in less than 24 hours and he always comes back with very helpful and accurate answers. - He and other associates in the firm work as a team and their goal is to help the client make informed decision by communication all the pros and cons associated with every decision. - He is very meticulous and work on every details of the applications to make sure it is accurate and valid – something that is important in a successful application. - Overall, I think David is very knowledgeable in immigration matters and above all very conscientious. A friend of mine referred David to me and I would strongly recommend him to my other friends – he is the one and the only one you need for your immigration cases.

Immigration Genius- The best for your case.

Mr Soloway Is everything and only one you need for your immigration case. He is very thorough and attentive and will give you the time and quality service all the time. I had previously worked with another lawyer, Mr X, but I had to look elsewhere when I heard that Mr. X normally does not show up for... immigration appointments, Not Mr. Soloway, count on him to be there before you even get up. David laid out the procedural details, time frames and worked with me on paying my fees, which were reasonable and really competitive. Mr. Soloway was referred to me by a neighbor who had used him and his firm since the 1990's and had helped his entire family immigrate successfully. He did not disappoint. This is the go to guy and should be the only person you should want to work with, he does not fail. Check his track record, I did, and I believe you will be impressed as much as we were. My case lasted three months and three days. David will take your case and work it personally with his firm and other associates, don't be surprised when you find out that he takes his time to meet and discuss your case anytime and in timely fashion, advises well and prepares like no other. I will be using him again to help my parent relocate. Save yourself some money, headaches and lengthy time delays; head to David Soloway's office and get this done right, the first time and every time.
