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!

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.

Great to work with!

Marcela helped us to process a visa application for a candidate we really wanted to hire. She was thoughtful, helpful and reliable throughout the whole process. Her work culminated in us securing the visa for the candidate. Very pleased with her work!

Results with a Heart

We hired the Pozo Goldstein firm to help us represent an employee who was in the fight of his life to stay in this country. When the going got tough Marcela joined the team. I have to admit I was initially unsure about why a new person had been added. I can tell you now that it was the best thing to ...ever happen. Marcela wrote the briefs that helped us win not one but two BIA appeals on our case. She is an incredibly skilled lawyer who has the experience and finesse to get results. In addition to being a wonderful lawyer she was also a confident and councilor. I called her many times so she could help me understand what was going on with the case. After we won the first BIA appeal I gave her a call - if there was ever a time when a hug and high-five was done over a phone call we found a way to do it that day. When we were finally able to secure the cancellation of removal, with the second BIA appeal, I sent her a picture of the family being reunited. She told me that it was cases like ours that are the reason she chose this profession. She never gave up and fought till the very end. I can truly find no words to adequately express my thanks and gratitude – a large part of our success is directly related to her. We will be forever grateful.

Indefatigable, persistent in defending and winning your case.

Mrs. Gyires has patiently followed my case for a non-immigrant VISA for more than 1.5 years, always available to answer my many doubts and questions, to recommend me the way to go. She has been indefatigable, persistent and available in defending my case and eventually winning it. It was by no mean...s an easy visa petition; many a lawyer had told me before it would be almost impossible to get it. Yet Mrs. Gyires' skills and knowledge made it possible for me to get what I was hoping for and even much more. Thank you so much, I can't wait to work with Mrs. Gyires again in the future!
