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.

Thanks Theresa Kennedy!

Theresa Kennedy has worked with me through my,and my wife's H1B visas and the now concluded green card process. Theresa and her office staff have been very helpful and obviously competent. ALL of the information and advice they have given us through the process have turned out to be correct. If anyon...e out there is looking for an honest, competent and reliable attorney, I would recommend, you at least consult with her. She is also reasonably priced for the quality of advice and service she offers.

Best Immigration Service

We have received our green card this week thanks to Frazier, Soloway&Poorak, P.C, and especially to Theresa Kennedy. Frankly, it was one of the best experiences to go with. Many of our friends warned us that most immigration attorneys are so bad communicating back and forth with their customers; forg...et to include all necessary info, and poor in service. It was not that way with Theresa. The customer service was amazing. The level of professionalism was beyond description. We got an excellent step by step plan to reach our final goal. We were not bewildered or trying to guess what to do next. The area of communication is something I want to emphasize. The emails were responded the very day they were sent. Theresa was always nice, friendly, and always encouraging. I share this because I did my work visa with a different immigration firm. My impression was that the guys only cared about themselves rather than the client. That is why I did some homework and my research brought me to Frazier, Soloway&Poorak, P.C. Gush, I am so happy that I have found them, and made my decision to go with them. I want personally thank Theresa Kennedy. It was a great journey with no stress, and worry. Thank you Theresa!
