One of a kind, highly recommended

We hired Attorney JP after months of looking for an immigration lawyer to tackle our case. Personally meeting up with the top-reviewed immigration lawyers in Miami and speaking to other highly-reviewed immigration lawyers across the United States, offered us very little hope on keeping our family to...gether, as all but one law firm (other than JP's) was willing to take on our case. They all advised us that my wife should just go back to our home country and wait there. I was pending AOS, EB-2, priority date in 2006, and had been waiting for years for approval of my case. In 2010, while waiting for approval, I got married to my girlfriend, and she would visit me for 6 months at a time. She would never overstay and she never worked, never violating the terms of her tourist visa. In 2014, with one child added to our union, my case got approved, and I asked the law firm that filed my case how to get my wife to be able to stay with me permanently (as she was visiting at the time). They did not want to help. And told us bluntly to just send her home. And that got us looking for help elsewhere. Not only was Attorney JP confident that our case was one that was not violating immigration law (which was amusing, because everybody else was scared that it might be), he was also very humble, and spoke to us in a tone and manner not depicting his superior knowledge over immigration law. He is out of state (Ohio), but we chose him to represent us because we had a very good feeling about him. He was so confident about it that if the case was to be denied, he was going to appeal the case free of charge. All throughout the 2 years that we had been waiting, Attorney JP was very easy to contact, and was always on top of renewing my wife's EADs. Not once did he charge anything for the correspondence between our case and Immigration. He stayed humble and kind, and we always felt as if he was doing us a favor. Unlike the law firm that filed my original case, where I felt as if I was a nuisance to them, even if they were constantly charging me with ridiculous fees. For reference, whenever I called the law firm that filed my case about my case, the paralegal would never talk to me. I would leave her voicemails, and emails, and she would get back to me a week later. The lawyer taking care of my case seemed very unprofessional and the few times I was able to catch her on the phone in the 8 years I had been waiting, she talked to me very hurriedly, hardly giving me answers to my inquiries. Far cry from Attorney JPs firm, he would try to answer as much as he could, and the few times that I had to leave voicemails, he would respond the very same day, via email and callback. Now with 2 kids, our family is living together and is very happy, and will forever be grateful to God for helping us find Attorney JP. We hope all those who are having immigration problems will try to give JP a call, because he absolutely knows immigration law, and he is very genuine in his pursuit to try to help other people. I wouldn't be surprised if one day he just starts helping people for free. Yes, he is that good, and that kind.

I recommend you this lawyer

I have been working with this firm and JP since 2012 for my immigration progress. The communication between me and the lawyer was always smooth. He is reliable, and provide you the answers that u have questions for. Overall, he did a great job and brought great results as well.

Asylum approved rating.

My attorney stayed on point and has been very effective through out my case. His advice and guided points led to my success in achieving Political Asylum in the United States. His communication and knowledge of career is perfect, and I will never hesitate to refer someone to him that needs the help t...hat I needed. Going forward, me and my three year old daughter can never thank him and his staff enough for paving our narrow path to a great success in life. My life and that of my family could never have been much better in the United States without his efficient and effective service. Last but not the least, he is a devoted and kindhearted person.

EB11 Approval

On the eve of Thanksgiving I had a mobile alert from USCIS, notifying my EB-1A got approved. At that moment I felt happy and felt only short cut to success is the hard work and thankful to attorney Mr. JP Sarmiento. I took the E-11 I-140/I-485 journey with attorney JP for a year, for some it may ...look longtime, but attorney JP is not like other attorney's which I have come across, he is great story teller and had the niche to grasp highly complex scientific fields and reflect it in the brief's, how the client meets high demanding E11 regulatory criteria in a way IO understands, and top of that he will make it RIGHT. He is highly professional with excellent ethical standards and never hesitates to take that extra mile and 99.9% prompt in responding emails, and same with his team. I wish him and his team successful filings at USCIS and assist the deserved.

AOS

I found Mr. Sarmiento through his YouTube channel and decided to give him a call. I sent him an email about my situation and the way he responded made me realize I wanted to hire him immediately. Excellent customer service and tells you like it is based on your situation. The firm is also priced reas...onably well for their service and allows you to pay in monthly increments which is convinent. My case being AOS through marriage, I came in as a Student and decided to get married a few years later. Mr. Sarmiento prepared my paper work and thoroughly prepared me for my interview. Overal a very good experience, his associates are also very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this law firm for all your immigration needs , no matter what they may be.
