Unprofessional

We spent more than a handful of thousands of dollars on Marcela Gyires as a one time fee after a denial of entry. She put together an ‘interview packet’ aka one letter asking the embassy to « reconsider » ? She also said to make sure to ask the officer for his name during the interview. The consular ...officer laughed when I mentioned my lawyer’s interview packet, didn’t even look at it. I asked for his name, like Marcela said I should do, he shouted at me and said how dare you. That that was unacceptable. We googled some more and we had to beg for Marcela to file for a FOIA, that after 3 years we haven’t received yet. We hired a lawyer from DC for the same FOIA request for one tenth of the price and he got it in 3 weeks time. Oh! Also, Marcela Gyires doesn’t work at Pozo Goldstein anymore. How did we find out? By calling ourselves after months of negligence. The firm hadn’t even let us know or assigned us a new lawyer. Shame on you for scamming people like that. Regardless of what was ‘in the contract’, you should at least follow professional protocol and respond to emails politely! At least respond at all instead of saying ‘if you’re not happy, go elsewhere’. What if that was somebody’s last savings money? Don’t you care at all? Even if you couldn’t fix the immigration issue, you could’ve at least been professional and apologetic. I hope you will one day feel the same way as we have.

O-1 Immigration Process

Working with Marcela of Pozo Goldstein was an amazing experience. We had a challenge ahead of us but worked through all the hurdles and were able to present a strong case for an O-1 Visa. I would absolutely recommend Marcela for any immigration needs!

Thank you for your service

The reason my wife and I decided to retain Ms. Gyires after the initial interview, was because she asked all the important questions and none of the irrelevant ones. She also appeared knowledgeable and experienced, which instilled confidence that through her services, we would be able to achieve the ...best possible result available under the law. During the representation, she timely responded to all my queries and made me comfortable about the progress of my case. I sincerely appreciate all of her help, especially during the naturalization interview.

H1-B for Non Profit

My employer, Wildlife Alliance a 501-3c non-profit conservation NGO, hired Marcela and Pozo Goldstein to process an H1-B work visa for myself and associated H4 visas for my spouse and two children (a combination of UK and Cambodian nationals). They were able to demonstrate that we were cap exempt an...d provided guidance and assurance for the entire process. They responded to all inquiries and questions promptly. As such we received the visas relatively painlessly and are now settled, and working, in New York City.

Very professional and dedicated attorney

Marcela Gyires is a very professional immigration attorney in Florida. She cares about her clients and follows through until the very end. She handled my immigration case successfully and always had a patience to answer all my questions which was very important for me . I would definitely recommend... that anyone in need of immigration help should speak with Marcela before speaking with anyone else.
