Visa E-2 Inversionista Aprobada

Contraté a Jennifer Meléndez como mi abogada para la tramitación de una visa E-2. Mi caso tenía unas particularidades que lo hacían un poco más complejo de lo normal. Jennifer supo guiarnos e informarnos de todas las posibles situaciones que podían surgir. Fue muy minuciosa con la documentación, lo c...ual me pareció fantástico, ya que piensa en diferentes escenarios y te prepara adecuadamente para la entrevista. Incluso en la embajada durante la entrevista, la persona que me entrevistó me agradeció lo ordenada que estaba la documentación. Su equipo es igualmente extraordinario, por lo que recomiendo los servicios de JM Immigration Firm. Nuestra visa fue aprobada.

Hired for immigration from Argentina

Very professional and knowledgeable. I hired her and her firm to help me bring my family from Argentina to the US (I am a US citizen). She answered every question, walked us through the process and helped us finally finish this path towards immigration. We are truly appreciative and happy with the re...sults!

Succesful service

I hired Jenniffer Melendez's services to get my F1 visa. My situation involved a denied entry into the US through the ESTA program regarding a brief online "job" I had undertaken two years prior. In this challenging time, Jenniffer was a valuable resource. She carefully reviewed the details of my ...case, offering practical insights and guiding me through the complex immigration processes. Her expertise and commitment were instrumental in helping me resolve the situation. Thanks to Jenniffer, I ultimately obtained my student visa and the incident ended up as a misunderstanding, allowing me to continue my education in the US. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout our interactions, and I am grateful for her support.

Amazing Service

I have used Jennifer twice in 5 years and both times was a great success, her team was very professional and made my life so much easier doing all the paperwork and hard work for me. The most recent time was for my Neutralization application, I submitted it to Jennifer in February and I became a Citi...zen of the United States in December. Everything went smooth and it was perfect! Jennifer and her team does Amazing work and I recommend her to any one looking for a great Law firm to handle their business. Thank you all so much!!!

  • 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.
