Una gran suerte el haberla encontrado!

Más de un día completo he estado ocupando mis neuronas en encontrar las palabras correctas para expresar el agradecimiento y el sentimiento de deuda hacia Maureen por su trabajo al representarme ante USCIS en los tiempos actuales, 2019-2020. Ese agradecimiento y sentimiento de deuda ha Maureen es t...an extenso y profundo como el mar porque ella logró que mi petición I-485 (residencia permanente) fuese aprobada. Y lo más interesante: siempre sabía qué hacer y siempre confiaba en que lo que estaba haciendo era lo idóneo para el momento y la circunstancia en cuestión. Algo que no pude encontrar en otros bufetes o firmas de abogados, y lo digo en plural: en OTROS. Maureen logró que una petición que había sido enviada a permanecer sepultada en algún anaquel del Centro Nacional de Archivos (NRC, por sus siglas en inglés) fuese traída de vuelta al mismo ritmo de los demás procesos, que fuese revisada, y luego felizmente aprobada. Esto lo hizo reclamando las provisiones que están en la Ley Nacional de Inmigracion, no suplicando a USCIS, como otros muchos abogados planteaban que debía hacerse. Maureen llevo adelante el proceso con toda la razón propia de un profesional que conoce su profesión, y, además, con dignidad. Muy importante. Pero eso no es todo, cuando visite otros abogados, y no fueron pocos por cierto, me pedían villas y Castillas: mucho dinero, o lo que para mi resultaba ser mucho dinero. Y ellos lo hacían sin conocer a profundidad, o para mi caso particular, la ley Nacional de Inmigración, y queriendo darle a la petición un carácter de inferioridad en comparación s las demás peticiones de cubanos. Y otros abogados me decían que debía esperar 5 años porque así lo decía USCIS, porque así lo decía esa agencia del gobierno. Pero Maureen sabía que no debía ser así porque tenía conocimientos profundos acerca de la ley y de mi caso en particular. Fue así como ella me ayudó, y, por si fuera poco, me ayudó también con el pago necesario para llevar adelante la representación de mi petición. En resumen: Maureen defendió mis intereses como si fueran los de ella, y además lo hizo en el entendido de que se trataba de un inmigrante sin muchos recursos financieros y sin familia en Estados Unidos. Por todo esto: el inmenso agradecimiento y sentimiento de deuda hacia Usted. Muchas gracias! Ojalá los pobres podamos seguir contando Usted!

Best Immigration Attorney

We are glad to have Ms. Porras as our immigration attorney. She helps me and my employer two times of applying H1B work petition. Although my case was not selected in the first year lottery, but her professionalism, hard working and quick response impressed all of us. Therefore, we continue to workin...g with her to file work petition in the second lottery. Fortunately, my case is picked, but get request for evidence letter at the same time as 2018 Fiscal year's process is much more restrictive than anytime before. She helps us plan the strategy on how to response USCIS's doubts, and also gives us very detailed instructions of preparing the proofs and supporting materials, which makes our work much easier. The result is good and USCIS approves my case within a few days after they receive Maureen's response. In addition, she knows my case every well, and is able to answer all of questions and concerns in very detailed and timely reply. Very happy to have her support, Maureen is definitely worthy to trust~!
