Professional, knowledgeable, honest, helpful . I will never hire any lawyer other than Mr Ardian.

I had to apply for my wife's visa so she could move to USA. I tried to do it myself and USCIS failed to inform me that i was missing documents for the application after 8 months. I applied in 10/19 and I got an email on 06/2020. My wife was overseas and I was in USA. I contacted Mr Gjoka to assist ...me with the application process. He zoomed called us both at the same time and told us the paperwork that was needed for the application. He even provided a translated questionnaire for my spouse since she didn't speak English at the time. We started the process right away 06/21. The documentation process was extremely easy. Every time there was an update to our case Mr Gjoka and his assistant Ms Sonila would call us and email us. My wife arrived to USA on 09/22 and received all documents with no problem. Thank you Mr Gjoka for your amazing help. If you looking for correct, easy process done , make sure you hire Mr Gjoka.

Great lawyer

I highly recommend Gjoka Law Firm for any immigration process. Mr. Gjoka was just a phone call away through out our immigration process, he made sure to answer all my questions before I committed to his business. He is truly passionate about his job. He helped my father to get an immigration visa to ...my sister. Mr. Gjoka is a great person and lawyer

Immigrant visa for spouse

We hired Ardian in late September of 2019 to help process my husband's spousal immigrant visa. He was recommended to us by another expat couple. When choosing Ardian, you will deal with him personally. He is highly responsive to emails and phone calls. While abroad we were able to video conference wi...th him as required to clarify any information needed. He is tech savvy and has systems in place for the online submission of information. Ardian knows the immigration system and keeps abreast of changes as they happen that may or may not impact your case. We appreciate that he was with us every step of the way and responded to our questions after my husband landed in the US. We highly recommend his services which are very clearly and reasonably priced. Thank you Ardian, we are grateful that you made what could be a stressful process so easy.

Honest and very professional

Ardian was suggested to me by one of my friend and I highly recommend a lawyer as A.Gjoka . He helped me though all the process of I-485 and to take the Green Card . He and his assistant are very available at any time and any hour. Although I lived in another place communication was easy at any time .... Thank you for the amazing work you did for me and my husband. P.S : thank u for dealing with me everytime i could freak out for my process

Serves His Clients to the Max

Ardian has advised / represented my husband and me for over 18 months for an immigration matter --- my fiancée (now husband) overstayed his tourist visa and I petitioned for him to become a lawful permanent resident. Prior to meeting with Ardian, I filled out the forms by myself but I did not sub...mit the forms to the government. I researched and met with several immigration attorneys in the state of Florida. Out of the three attorneys I met with, I felt most comfortable with Ardian because of his willingness to listen and thoroughness when providing advice. When I initiated the first in-person meeting with Ardian, I wanted to use him as a second level reviewer to the forms that I completed on my own. I quickly realized the value of getting him as our attorney because he identified mistakes that I made on the forms, which could have either delayed the process or rejected our application. He also identified two forms that I did not know I needed to fill out --- to get my husband's work authorization and to get my husband a social security number, which again highlights the importance of getting a creditable, experienced attorney like Ardian. After Ardian filed the necessary forms (August 2019) to petition the status change, my husband and I relocated from the state of Florida to another state. During our transition, Ardian handled the administrative process of updating our address and answering our questions about our new state's Department of Motor Vehicles and traveling by airplane. My husband still received his work authorization and social security card (November 2019) in a timely manner too even after moving. Due to the international pandemic of COVID-19, our state's immigration offices closed from March 2020 to June 2020. In August 2020, we were given notice for our in-person interview with immigration. We interviewed on September 9, 2020 and my husband was approved the next business day to become a permanent resident. All in all, I am happy with our service --- Ardian guided us to ensure our forms were processed without errors and advised us on lawful activities. My advice to anyone who needs to go through the immigration process --- 1. Find an attorney that you feel comfortable having a relationship with over multiple years 2. Find an attorney that is a good listener who gives advice for your specific situation 3. Find an attorney who has multiple years of experience filing these forms for various different immigration matters 4. Find an attorney that is responsive 5. Find an attorney that has the ability to work with you regardless of where you live at in the U.S. 6. Find an attorney that has the technology to ensure that your paperwork, forms, and supporting documentation are secure and can be handled safely over the internet That attorney was Ardian for my family --- he provided all six of the attributes that I listed above. Highly recommended and for the fee that you will pay, it is worth it over the course of multiple years. The immigration process is an investment and requires legal expertise to avoid mistakes. My prayers to any family who is going through the immigration process --- Ardian supported our family's process professionally and I am thankful.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Ardian Gjoka is one of the best attorneys I have had the privilege of working with since I became a lawyer in 1981. He is brilliant and creative and he is the most hard-working attorney I have EVER met. He will literally work 18 hours a day to get the answer to whatever issue he is dealing with. He is not concerned about how much time a project takes; he is focused like a laser on getting the job done, and getting it done correctly. Ardian is loyal, dependable, honest, and a good person to have on your team. You do NOT want him to be on the OTHER team! Ardian is now working in Immigration Law. I know that he is very well versed in that area of the law and that he has had a great deal of experience assisting foreign nationals who wish to become U.S. citizens. I strongly endorse Ardian. He is an example of what all attorneys should try to be like."
