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.

Excelente

La licenciada Meléndez es absolutamente confiable y segura de lo que está hablando ,yo someti mi ajuste de estatus (I485) en 2016 y por razones ajenas a mi caso se demoró más de lo esperado,contacte a la licenciada, le expuse mi caso y ella amablemente me sugirió que hacer,ella tomo mi caso,finalmen...te sólo 4 meses después ya tengo mi desicion final,y ya todo el stress que esto genera se quedo atras. La licenciada Meléndez es segura y analítica a,la hora de revisar el caso y muy acertada en sus comentarios,además siembre responde ante las dudas.

N-600

Jennifer Melendez and her team were very professional helping me recieve my citizenship using the N- 600. I filed my N-600 in January of 2016 and I did not get a response from USCIS. I made several attempts to go directly and speak with the Clerk's at USCIS with promises that they would call but no ...call. I goggled attorneys and saw that Jennifer Melendez had good reviews and decided to set an appointment with her to see what she could do to help me. She took my case about 6 months ago and was able to finally get my certificate of citizenship that I should have received in July of 1981. I am so blessed for her help and glad this is finally over. Thank you to Jennifer and her team for making it happen.

Excellent service & attention to details!

I worked my permanent residence with Jennifer Melendez and was extremely pleased not only with how professional she is, knowledgable and patient but also her attention to details. There's so much paperwork, documents, etc. it's easy to get confused in the back and forth, but she made the whole proces...s seamless. I'm very pleased, and highly recommend her and the firm for any immigration cases.

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.
