Replied last January 8, 2025Thanks Jay and you are very welcome for your kind words. Immigration law is among the most complex United States laws. As such many are often frustrated with the process. Our goal is to make the process less stressful by proving evidence based and qualified counsel. My experience as a former USCIS adjudications officer for over a decade and US Army reserve JAG officer help in making that possible. We look forward to working with you, if necessary, soon. Best wishes in all your endeavors.
