Wonderful!

Without the help and guidance of Neelofer, I would not have had such a successful and quick resolution to my case. My previous attorney was discouraging and was providing wrong advice, and as soon as I came to Neelofer, everything was resolved in the matter of 3 months!! I am so grateful to her and ...would recommend her to anyone with any immigration issues that needs a caring, knowledgeable, and trustworthy attorney. I feel that she has rescued me. I am so thankful, she really is a wonderful human being.

Best Immigration Attorney

I previously worked with at least 5-7 different immigration attorneys in connection with my own family related cases as well as cases from our organization. I have yet to come across an attorney who responds to the emails even in a.m. hours. Neelofer handled few cases for our organization involving b...attered spouse petitions. I remember how pleasantly shocked I was when I sent her an email at around 2:00 a.m. hoping that she may respond next day, but it was in less than 10 minutes that I received her response addressing my concerns. AND it was not a one time occurrence. She is very responsive as well as very compassionate in her dealings, something which is rarely seen in attorneys. Not to mention her grasp of law is excellent and she explains the process, possible issues, time lines etc right at the start of process leaving no room for any surprises. She is a very capable attorney who has built a very good reputation and credibility among immigrants in relatively short span of time. I will continue to utilize her services her for all our future cases. She is not only a great attorney but a kind human being.....pleasure to work with!

Extremely Knowledgeable and Trustworthy

I have been working with Ms. Syed for past five years on an ongoing basis. Our company brings a lot of entertainment groups to United States for performannce. We file at least 8-10 cases every year, and so far in past five years I did not get a single denial. Ms. Syed is sharp, her knowledge is alway...s updated. Above all she is an extremely nice person to deal with. She always sets realistic expectations and delivers. We also used her services for a couple of H-1Bs and one employment based green card application. We had heard many horror stories about immigration but working with her in these areas also made the process flow smoothly and the completion was in time with favorable results. I will recommend Ms. Syed to all those who are in need of a reliable, knowledgable and trustworthy immigration attorney.

EXCELLENT IMMIGRATION LAWYER

After suffering for three years with four other immgration lawyers, we were absolutely delighted with Neelofer's professionalism. Throughout our green card application, she fully explained every required step of the process. She set realistic expectations as there were no surprises regarding timing, ...costs or incomplete paperwork. We were thrilled when our green cards were issued. Neelofer made the overall experience totally painless.
