Thank you so much for your kind words. A hard-working immigration attorney, Chela Marquez has enjoyed working with you. Our O1 clients are a special breed. You have achieved so much already, the United States government has created this special opportunity to invite you to seek a Green Card. The O-1 Visa is for Individuals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievement, and you have displayed every aspect of this. The USA would be so lucky were you to stay here and build your career here, raise a family, and enjoy the rewards of your hard work.

Heartbroken

I have been a Margaret Wong fan for a long time. It was a thrill for me to get to speak with her on the telephone when I had my consultation. We both agreed that I had a simple direct mail overseas spouse case, and she told me there was no reason to hire an attorney. However, I begged until she ag...reed. I know these people personally and have to endure unimaginable insults and dirty jokes from then. I absolutely cannot endure it without a representative. She agreed to do it. She told me to fed ex a complete I-130 and required documents. Finally there was hope. I did exactly as Margaret Wong said. Since then, I have been getting the run around from the firm, people who are ignoring the fact that Margaret Wong herself agreed to take the case. This is heartless. Why would anyone be expected to take this abuse, from immigration bureaucrats but also the attorney’s firm? Does Margaret Wong even know this stuff goes on at the firm she founded?

Thank you so much for your comments. It means so much that you put your trust in us -- and that you take this opportunity to share your frustration. I'd be happy to speak with you. I also invite you to speak with the firm's ombudsman Gordon Landefeld at 216-566-9908 and he will help you get status on your case.

H1B extension and rfe

I heartily thank Brian Marek for his unwavering support and dedication for my H1B extension and addressing the rfe. Due to Brian’s valuable contributions, help and guidance, my H1B petition was approved! I am blessed to have Brian’s guidance to make this impossible mountainous task possible. Brian... is truly a remarkable professional that I could lean on.

Thank you so much for these kind words. We are truly blessed that you place your trust with our firm. Brian Marek so appreciates your kind words too, and really enjoys working with you. It's so important to attorneys and their staff that clients understand the complexity of the process. Especially the RFE. It adds so much - but we've done it so often, we hope we make your life easier.

Very professional, kind, and knowledgeable

I was referred to Margaret and made an appointment with her. During our initial meeting she assured me that she could help me and was very kind. She appointed one of her attorneys, to work on my case, Jonathan Bartell. He was excellent in court and was very knowledgeable. The case was won, and I am v...ery grateful for all of their hard work.

John, thank you so much for these kind words. Our attorneys are world-class. Jonathan is so pleased to know of your praise. He works so hard on each case, while no case before court is easy, it's so much easier when you're well prepared. Congratulations on the outcome of the case.

Helped my mom finally get legal after 25 years!

After 25 years, my mom was finally able to get a visa and become legal. This was all due to atternoy Wong’s firm! They helped us with our 601 and 212 applications and after a period of time waiting for USCIS to process and approve them( no fault of the firm of course), my mother finally had her inter...view a few days ago and was approved for a visa to enter the USA. My family is now going to be reunited. Thank you for all the help!

Tony, thank you for these kind words. These things do take time. It's always best to get the process started as early as possible, so you get the clock running. We're so happy your mother's interview went well. When people study hard for these interviews, it's such a relief when you finally get there and the interview goes well. Congratulations.
