It’s been a long road

Initially my husband and I begin this process along thinking we could YouTube and figure out how to complete forms. We completed the I 130 got it approved thinking that was all we needed to do. The complexity of the process with US CIS was more complicated than we expected. Miss Williams was referred... to us by a former colleague. We were a bit skeptical because all the US CIS forms repeatedly stated our case could be denied without reason and we immediately Begin to worry because of the amount of money would have to be invested in this process. As we begin the process I must say Latangie was extremely patient with us regarding the gathering of paperwork and documents. We started this process at the top of the pandemic. At which, not only was the entire world stressed out we surely had a share of issues. As we begin to pull document together, I lost my dad which became a major distraction in completing this process. We finally got back on track and continue working on his paperwork and was able to file just before the deadline for price increases and form changes. I must say through this process Latangie was extremely detail oriented, and dedicated to our case although we weren’t her only Case. From September till around March we received correspondence that my husband’s work authorization was approved however they denied his adjustment of status, claiming we were missing documents or something about the person that sign wasn’t the person the initially filed. We were devastated and almost gave up hope. Latangie ensured that the appeal was filed and taken care of. She had copies of all the documents and everything that was submitted. Our case was reopened. She also maintain constant communication with us checking on us throughout the process. We recently had our interview, once the case was reopened, and I happy to say that all documents have been approved. My husband will now receive his green card thanks Latangie’s diligence and her efforts regarding our case.

Thank you

Very No nonsense and straight forward, strategic in approach to the issues I was up against, was clear in advice, more than helpful in execution and had both situations successfully resolved ...

IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY

I hired Miss Williams for an immigration case that i was very difficult, and she let me know from the get go that it was a very hard case. Nonetheless i trusted her and i was never disappointed. To make a long story short, i overcame all the obstacles that came in my way, jumped the hurdles that came... in my path, and i am now a United States Citizen. Just want to say a big thank you to Miss Williams, and the hard work that she did for me. i have also refered her to family members and they too are elated. She is the best. Again, thank you
