Fantastic immigration experience

I was a very hesitant client in the beginning thanks to the overwhelming amount of information online in regards to moving and working internationally. Michael and his team gave me the confidence I needed and after a surprisingly easy experience I now have the visa I have wanted for years. Cannot rec...ommend Michael and his team highly enough. Thanks mate!

The fastest, most efficient attorney I have ever used.

After having previously used a different attorney, who completely ruined my pending case and left me with a NOID (notice of intent to deny) I was referred to Michael. Within less than a month, Michael was able to get me approved for a green card. This is something my previous attorney was unable t...o do over a THREE YEAR period - and within a month Michael had me an approved i140. Due to some further unforeseen circumstances (related to my previous attorney and pending case) my wife and I retained Michael again for help with our i130 (which had the original RFE/NOID). Michael was able to attend our interview with USCIS and we had an approval the following day for our i130 and a few days later we got an e-mail that our i485 was approved. I am happy to say without a doubt that these approvals are 100% thanks to the hard and diligent work of Michael. He went above and beyond, he was always calm (and able to calm my wife and I) and always available. Having gone through the stress of three years of USCIS interviews, NOIDs and on-going drama - Michael was able to do what my wife and I thought was never going to happen, which was get us approved.

US Green card application approved!

I was on an O-1 visa and was looking to become a US permanent resident after marrying to a US citizen. A friend of mine recommended Michael Smallbone and I'm so glad I hired him. He made the whole application process feel quite effortless. He is personable, professional, efficient and experienced. He... has a great working knowledge of the ins and outs of US immigration and a good relationship with all the applicable USCIS offices in the country. We had a few unexpected road bumps in our case and Michael navigated them all with skill, humor and ease. He was never worried or rushed, but did his job with care and excellence. He explained clearly what was required of us, what was involved in every step, and took all the stress out of applying for my green card. It is an absolute honor to write this review and recommend Michael. I've dealt with quite a few immigration attorneys over the years and my experience with Michael was by far the best. I'm now very happy to be the proud owner of a US green card!

The Best

Michael Smallbone has advised me with multiple contracts for my corporate and entertainment clients for over ten years. He has always helped move things forward toward an agreement that serves both parties (me and my clients). His communication is succinct and effective. I would highly recommend Mich...ael Smallbone.
