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.

K1 VISA - PERMANENT RESIDENCE - REMOVE CONDITIONS ON RESIDENCE

I describe my experience with Jenniffer Melendez as a very successful one. she is very good lawyer and I would recommend her to anyone. She started with my K1 visa process in 2016 and in a few month my visa was approved. After arriving to US she follow my process and i got my residence in January... 2017 and now we applied for remove the conditions on my residence. so if you need a immigration lawyer, she is the one you need to get.
