Absolutely the best

After living in United States for ~8 years, after applying for a few status changes and visa types, each one is more complicated than the previous, I have no doubt that immigration issues are the most difficult part of life in United States (besides the listening groans of those who chose to live in ...the old place). There were a lot of situations which could have turned the wrong way, and each time it was just a one man who solved all my troubles. His name is Andrey Plaksin. He consulted me when I needed to extend status, he prepared all the possible documents when I needed to get a new visa, then a new one again. He was always helpful and attentive. I felt the ground is burning under my feet, and soon I will need to go back home – where nobody was waiting for me. But… I was lucky enough to meet Andrey. Andrey Plaksin will really WORK for you, for your success. He is worth every cent you pay because he will do everything possible to gain YOUR success. He will answer all your e-mails, calls, messages as soon as he can, he will explain each letter, each symbol to make sure there is nothing you are unclear about. Be easy to hire Andrey Plaksin for your visa or green card case.

The greatest consult

I had a consultation with Andrey Plaksin and I intend to sign a contract to work on my green-card with him. He surely knows what he is doing, and I feel very positive about my case. The consultation was as thorough as possible, and I can say that it was slightly different in compare with consultation...s of two other lawyers. Worlds apart.

a $1 million consult or don’t repeat my mistakes!

I married the love of my life in Russia. Before we got married, she got a tourist visa but never used it. When the war started, we came to the U.S. I asked ChatGPT (lol) and thought she could just get her green card here instead of doing the whole immigrant visa thing, so we could start our life fas...ter. Then I found one of those do-it-yourself immigration websites. For $499 they said they’d do the paperwork. I thought, nice, my case is simple and lawyers are expensive. Good thing I still booked a consult with The Plaksin Law Firm. Andrey Plaksin told me right away there was a big problem that could get my wife banned forever. Misrepresentation. Basically, she came in on a tourist visa, and that visa is not for moving here. And since we were already married when she entered, filing for a green card right away would look really bad. I was glad I didn’t file yet, but I was also freaking out because I didn’t want to go back to Russia with her. Andrey found a way for her to get a green card safely without leaving the U.S. It took longer and more work, but we got approved with no issues. So yeah, learn from me. Even if you think your case is easy, talk to an immigration lawyer. At least get a consultation. You’ll thank yourself later.

I`ve got my visa after additional request!

I used to order a consultation three months ago. Andrey was very kind, supportive and… honest. He warned me about all the possible difficulties and told me that gaining the desired visa is not guarantied at all. He wasn’t afraid to say the truth even if it meant losing a chance to make money and I... appreciate that! I decided to try my luck anyway. Andrey was always helpful and communicative. He made all things the best he can. We`ve got a request for additional information, prepared some new documents… and my visa was approved! I understand that without Andrey I would definitely get the reject. My advice to all of you: not waste your time, order a professional straightaway, and you`ll be happy.

Андрей - не просто адвокат, а надежный союзник

Мы обратились для оформления грин карты по браку. С первого дня Андрей объяснил какие документы нужны, помог грамотно оформить доказательства совместной жизни, подготовил к интервью. Репетиция оказалась бесценной: он задавал вопросы именно так, как впоследствии их задавали офицеры, учил отвечать чест...но и уверенно. Благодаря этому опыту на самом интервью мы чувствовали себя комфортно. Все прошло идеально. Андрей не просто адвокат, а надежный союзник, который находился с нами до победы.

Andrey was extremely prompt, and although he did not practice in my jurisdiction he was very mindful of the issues of the case and instrumental in quickly gathering all of the information necessary to assess the strengths of his client's case.
