Application for greencard

Jennifer worked on my application for a green card, as well as my son's and daughter's application. She was always in touch with us every step of the way letting us know what steps were next and what we needed to do. The information she gave was always accurate and she also tried to help us get thing...s done quicker. The payment plan really helped us out and she worked with us. My son and I now have our green cards and awaiting my daughter's. We are extremely grateful for Jennifer's hard work and help.

Immigration visa

Being the first client from Romania, my file been made perfectly during the process we had to go thru. For everybody that doesnt know, will take awhile until an interview will be appointed, but all the steps been completed perfectly and we had no missing infos or mistakes in the file. Jenniffer is v...ery patient and understanding, even if sometimes neither she had the answers of the processing times, but she always took care of comforting us about the time and procedure. I totally recommend her for visas because she did a perfect job for us and in the end my visa been approved and soon to move to US. I will always stay in contact with her, she is really good in everything shes doing and everybody needs a lawyer in their lives :). Keep up with the great work and dedication and thank you for everything Jenniffer!

Green Card

I engaged Jenniffer Melendez to support my permanent residence application from the UK. With the COVID-19 crisis, the process became complicated and during this time, Jenniffer was always quick to respond, giving calm, reasoned advice that I relied on heavily. Throughout, I relied heavily on Jenniff...er's diligence, knowledge and great skill in helping navigate through the process.

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%.

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.
