Vawa petition

I hired Yolanda Mendoza for my vawa petition and God she worked very hard on my case, she didn’t actually take my case until she determined it to be a genuine one, after she was satisfied that it is a genuine case she filed all the paperwork on time and was right on top of the case making sure that i...t is not kept pending by USCIS outside of the normal processing times, Yolanda sent my application to immigration in February 2019 and i got my vawa petition approved in June 2020, so Literally 16 months, I got my green card approved in November 2020, It was pretty quickly done, another good thing about Yolanda is that she responds back as quickly as possible to the queries and concerns of her clients which a lot of lawyers lack these days Which turns away any would be clients via referrals of already clients, I would highly suggest anyone to hire her who wants to get his/her vawa petition approved in a timely manner and also who wants their attorney to respond them to their questions rapidly rather than stalling them for days before emailing them, I had lost all hope of getting green card and was out of status for the past 15 years until I hired Yolanda, I would strongly suggest anyone who is in a situation where their spouse is abusive to them to contact Yolanda and just talk about it, she would definitely help and last but not least, her fee is very reasonable, very reasonable to the extent where no attorneys can compete with her, May God bless her for helping me and helping others,

Adjustment of status interview

I adjusted my immigration status via marriage. The process was extremely stressful and long. Having an attorney to guide you through the process is comforting, ensures the process is being done correctly, and is a great resource for any questions. Yolanda accompanied us to the interview and ensure...d that the interview was conducted appropriately. On the day of the interview, she showed up early and checked my wife and I in. During the wait, she reviewed everything to ensure the interview would go well. The wait on the day of the interview is long so we chatted for quite some time. It helps to have a friendly and approachable attorney with you to keep you at ease. We also met prior to the interview. During this meeting, Yolanda made sure we had all of our documents organized. We also went through some questions that may come up during the interview. Most were basic marriage and cohabitation questions (e.g. what is the color of your doorknob) but you don't really think about these day to day so this mock interview helps you really review the details which may be questioned during the real interview. If you're looking for someone who can give solid advice, be on top of your case, and does his or her best to make sure your case is processed successfully, we recommend Yolanda.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
