Effective Action for O1 Visa Case

I had a USCIS-approved O1 visa since June 2021 that got stuck in administrative processing at the US Embassy in Lima, where I traveled to get my visa stamped in March 2022. On my 5th month of waiting, with no end in sight, I consulted Jennifer about the particulars of my case, and she was thorough in... explaining that I had the right to sue through a Writ of Mandamus at that stage of the delay -- and earlier, even. She was also very transparent about the possible outcomes of the Writ of Mandamus. She and her team were responsive, and I learned a lot about the legal arguments that supported my case. I obtained my visa successfully in early October 2022, and was able to get back to my job, and my loved ones in the U.S. I would recommend Jennifer to all people who are also going through the nightmare of administrative processing, especially if you have already obtained previous visas.

H1b DS5535 mandamus- New Delhi embassy

I was given DS 5535 form during H1 b drop box appointment. I did not get any update for almost 2 months, we sent several emails to embassy and even contacted senator and congressman but nothing helped. I was on without pay and my kids were missing school. We contacted Jennifer after almost 40-45 days... and explained her the situation, she was very thorough and professional. We felt so confident and comfortable after talking to her that soon we will get clearance and this issue will be sorted. She filed the case in a week and in 3-4 weeks visa was issued. She is very responsive and understanding I would definitely recommend her.

Administrative processing solved

In November 2020 I was interviewed for my J1 visa at the US consulate at my country of residence. I am still a Cuban national but with more than 11 year residence abroad. At the end of the interview I received the request to fill up the ds5535 form and then my case was placed in administrative proces...sing. With no natural solution of the case for over 6 months, I came across several lawyer on internet and ended up hiring Jennifer and her firm. The story short, my case was solved almost immediately. Jennifer and her team demonstrated not only a deep knowledge on the procedures and relevant laws, but they were very thorough, from constant communication and follow up to explanations and guidance. I absolutely recommend Jennifer for your immigration case and I myself would if I need that again. Thank you Jennifer for your help and dedication!

  • 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.
