Excelente abogada

Considero a Jenniffer Melendez excelente abogada, muy profesional, y confiable. Ella estuvo siempre pendiente de mi caso de renovación de mi residencia y de mi esposo. Yo tengo problemas de huellas y siempre estuvo dándole seguimiento con USCIS para resolver ese problema.

N-600

Jennifer Melendez and her team were very professional helping me recieve my citizenship using the N- 600. I filed my N-600 in January of 2016 and I did not get a response from USCIS. I made several attempts to go directly and speak with the Clerk's at USCIS with promises that they would call but no ...call. I goggled attorneys and saw that Jennifer Melendez had good reviews and decided to set an appointment with her to see what she could do to help me. She took my case about 6 months ago and was able to finally get my certificate of citizenship that I should have received in July of 1981. I am so blessed for her help and glad this is finally over. Thank you to Jennifer and her team for making it happen.

Excellent service & attention to details!

I worked my permanent residence with Jennifer Melendez and was extremely pleased not only with how professional she is, knowledgable and patient but also her attention to details. There's so much paperwork, documents, etc. it's easy to get confused in the back and forth, but she made the whole proces...s seamless. I'm very pleased, and highly recommend her and the firm for any immigration cases.

visa conversion type G-4 Int. Orgs. /NATO-6 (Form I—160) to Permanent Resident

I hired attorney Jenniffer Melendez to handle my process of visa conversion type G-4 Int. Orgs. /NATO-6 (Form I—160) to Permanent Resident. Since the first interview, she was very clear with all steeps needed, forms necessary, time of the entire process, and documents to be provided. She is very kno...wledgeable of the visa conversion process, as well as the laws and regulations involved. She managed to initiate the process on time, before the expiration limit of my former working visa. In my particular case it was 30 days after retirement. This was a very important as I could not be overstating my visa to apply for the conversion. During the lengthy process, several times USCIS asked for clarifications that she handled very professionally and with serenity, even when I was nervous with many clarifications and delays. In my case, we had to provide the medical exam twice and she also handled it very professionally. She was always available to respond my questions by phone, or email very quickly after my messages. She has a very well organized agenda and very knowledge support staff that makes communications and meeting very easy. Attorney Jenniffer Melendez is very dedicated and diligent. For sure, I will hire her again in case I need and she is available.

Superb Lawyer and staff

Jenniffer Melendez helped us with my spouse's adjustment of status process. From the very beginning all the way to the interview at the USCIS offices which she accompanied us. She has assisted us tremendously by simplifying and anticipating all that would be required (documentation) from the start to... the near future, which made it all a breeze for us. As of today, my wife has just received her Green Card. Thank you everyone!
