NIW experience

It was my great pleasure working with Ms. Kennedy. She is very responsive and knowledgeable. You completely feel that she is willing to help the client. If I wanted to start the NIW process again, I would choose Ms. Kennedy and her team again. She is always available to explain the client's concerns... clearly and in detail. I strongly recommend her and her team.

NIW for Cybersecurity specialist

I’m a cybersecurity specialist at a relatively early stage in my career. Theresa and David helped me with the EB2/National Interest Waiver application along with the Adjustment of Status and EAD. My I-140 was approved in ~9 months which is faster than I expected, and my I-485 was approved a few month...s later; the whole process from filing to getting a green card took less than 14 months (filed concurrently) with no RFEs or interviews (EAD was approved too). I’ve researched attorneys that specialize in NIW cases around the entire USA before hiring Theresa and David. I’ve chatted with Theresa for about an hour to evaluate my case and if the firm will help me with it. She explained application details, my options, what the firm can provide and my responsibilities. I didn't hesitate and hired her and the firm the next day after consultation. She helped me with all forms and always has been within the reach, answered all my questions and verified all information with me before filing any forms. She was always clear and explained everything in detail. I’m endlessly thankful for all the help, guidance and support that Theresa, David and team gave me through my immigration process. As stressful as it can be with any immigration cases, here you will feel that you are in the right hands and the team genuinely will care about you. With a smile on my face, I now can write that I am a happy permanent resident of the USA. This is all a big THANK YOU to Theresa and David. I strongly recommend Theresa and team to represent you in the immigration process and take away the stress from your shoulders.

Awesome

I met Theresa after a bad outcome of my application. Previously I spoke with Carolyn Soloway but thought I could file the forms successfully myself. I was soooo wrong. When I went back for assistance, Carolyn retired but referred me to another partner, Theresa Kennedy. These ladies are awesome and th...orough and so knowledgeable. Thankfully they took charge and helped me from the start to the finish. Please don’t do it alone, you need assistance and this group of immigration attorneys will NEVER let you down, in their continued assistance. Trying to work with embassies on your own is usually very difficult and these ladies have the knowledge to get your petitions pushed through. Before hiring this firm, I tried another attorney and she was horrible. But the partners of this firm were the best ever.

A professional and compassionate lawyer

Theresa handled my I-485 application. She clearly asked for the required documents and information to file my case, and she was always responsive during and after the submission of my application. When you talk to her you feel confident in her capabilities to handle your case. If you feel stressed or... uncertain about your immigration status/ immigration to the U.S., make an appointment with her. I definitely recommend her.

Thorough and Expeditious!

I received a recommendation from a friend, and I can't thank them enough for introducing us to Theresa Kennedy. She did everything and beyond our expectations. She listened, gave accurate and clear guidance, and I had my documentation done in record time. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with... immigration.

  • 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.
