Two thumbs up!

Atty. Jp Sarmiento is simply the best. It's not easy for me to trust someone well esp. lawyers but when he helped me get my waiver for me to file the green card and he gave me all the info and always answer to all my emails, I knew then he is one of the few lawyers I can trust. Even my husband feels ...the same way with me when it comes to trusting lawyers because he had a bad experience. Atty. Jp has proven that he deserves our trust together with his associates. I would recommend his firm. I got my green card with ease. They are very professional and take their jobs seriously. Atty Jp Sarmiento definitely exudes my expectation.

Pleasant to work with

I had a realy good experience with JP Sarmiento law firm. I mostly communicated with JP himself. He was very fast to respond to my emails all the time and even though we never met in person because me and my husband are from columbus oh and his law firm is located in Cleveland we never had any probl...ems. I feel like my case to get a green card based on marriage was handled really professionally and quickly. Never had any problems trying to reach him if I had any questions. I would definitely recommend him as a trustworthy professional album also friendly and caring layer.

Death of petitioner for permanent residency application

My case involved a family based permanent residency application where the petitioner died before the priority date became current. I became aware of the new law that allowed beneficiaries to continue the permanent residency process even though the petioiner had died. I first spoke to another attorne...y who was willing to take my case but had no experience with this particular law. I found the Sarmiento immigration law firm after performing a web search for attorneys who had handled permanent residency cases where the petitioner had died. One of the success stories on the firms' website described how the Sarmiento law firm had helped their client gain permanent residency using this particular law. At first ,I was a bit skeptical about hiring an attorney who was located hundred of miles away. I spoke to Mr. Sarmiento and was impressed with his knowledge and prior experience. I hired the Sarmiento law firm and they started to work on my case immediately. My I-485 was filed, the firm responded to the RFE's and one of the attorneys traveled from Ohio to Atlanta to accompany me to my interview. Almost 10 years after the petitioner died and over 16 years since the petition was originally filed, my I-485 has been approved!

J-2 Waiver (over 21) Success - Highly Recommend this Lawyer

I highly recommend JP Sarmiento to anyone who needs immigration related law services. I filed my J-2 waiver through his firm and it was an extremely positive experience. Two months ago, I was notified by my immigration lawyer that I was still subject to J-visa 2-year bar even though my father has alr...eady fulfilled his two years long time ago. This was a huge headache for me because I was about to submit my I-485 and this would make me ineligible for green card. My I-485 lawyer and his lawyer friends have never even heard of the fact that J-2 can apply for a waiver independent of J-1 under certain circumstances. I was desperate and was doing intensive internet research to find a solution to this problem. I found JP Sarmiento's firm and another firm through the research. I reached out to both of them because I really do not have any other choices. JP responded the next day and answered all my questions directly but the other firm wanted to charge hourly consultation fees to provide answers. I was impressed by JP's professionalism and willingness to help without me paying so I decided to file my case throug his firm. This is definitely a right decision I have made. He is very knowledgable and knows what he is doing. He prepared my case with great attention. During the entire process, he has been extremely responsive and professional. He always gets back to me quickly(usually within a day) with clear and honest answers. He submitted my case soon after I signed the contract with him and charged a reasonable fee. My case was approved yesterday. This proves that J-2 waiver is do-able through his firm. I definitely would go back to him for any future immigration service needs.
