Student Visa Approved

The best experience with lawyers we have ever had. From the moment we started working with Jennifer Melendez and her wonderful team, we knew and felt the professionalism, the honesty and the bless we had with us. We were looking for an advice and we got lot of more than that, Jennifer's team i...s awesome: Keyli was always in front desk to help us with our doubts, Rubenny was the specialist who gave us the touch to include important information on our profile and of course, Jennifer as owner and President of the firm, supervised all the operation and reviewed every single detail. I was looking for a Student Visa for me as F1 and for my wife and son F2 and they knew how to get it. We just send them all the information they ask for and they took care of the rest. We had about 10 calls, unlimited messages, plenty advices and like 8 months of paperwork. Finally, the appointment day arrived and the officers approved. Please go and contact this wonderful Firm, thanks me later...

Mrs

My name is Carline, my experience with Jenniffer Melendez has been exceptional. My husband case started in 2017 and for years she has given us her time and dedication, going above and beyond to help us. She worked so closely with the both of us that she became family even witnessing the birth of daug...hter. Every court date, every mail, and every correspondence Jenniffer was on top of it. Now my husband finally got his green card in 2025 our lawyer called us crying because our case was very difficult. Thank you again Jenniffer, may God bless you.

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.
