Muy satisfecha con el trabajo de Jennifer!

Estoy muy contenta y satisfecha con el trabajo realizado por la abogada Jenniffer Melendez. Desde que realice la primera llamada para exponerle mi caso, me di cuenta de que es una persona que está preparada y al día con cada uno de las leyes y cambios de migración. Una persona muy capaz, siempre aten...ta, responde con paciencia y amor cada una de las preguntas que se le realizan, y a pesar de que mi cita fue en NY y ella está en Miami estuvo presente vía telefónica en mi entrevista, lo que me dio un Pluss de confianza. Gracias a Dios y si trabajo pude obtener mi residencia permanente. Recomiendo su trabajo 100%.

F1 Visa - Student Visa

Jennifer and her office provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism and personal attention to all details toward the documentation for F1 visa. Jenniffer is an outstanding lawyer with excelente communication skills. Jennifer helped me to get my F1 visa. She prepared a file with all the ...documents the embassy required for the interview. We also had a meeting before the interview where we did a mock interview. She is very professional and I would recommend her to anyone with my eyes closed. She takes special care of her clients and is always attentive to your concerns. When I was in Colombia waiting for the interview, Jenniffer responded on every email and text to my questions and concerns and I got quick answers. Jennifer is a wonderful lawyer and I will always thank her for her services and professional advice.

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.
