K1 Visa

I tried to get my husband a visa on my own. It was confusing and stressful, but I got through the first part okay. Then everything went wrong, and I got a scary letter from immigration telling me he had to leave. I called Attorney Straub in tears. He calmed me down and gave us a plan. He guided us ev...ery step of the way. I wish we had hired him from the beginning. My husband just got his green card, and we are so excited to move on to the next chapter of our life together in the U.S.

K1 Visa and Change of Status

We were led to Erich through a family friend and needed an attorney for our immigration proceedings. My husband and I got engaged and had no idea how to proceed. Erich made the process very easy and was in constant contact to answer all of our questions. Not only did he brief us when we had our inter...view with USCIS, but also briefed my husband when he was in the UK waiting for his interview by himself and came with us to USCIS when we had our in person interview together. Erich led us through with ease, was very knowledgeable about the laws we needed to know, and we couldn't have done any of this without him. We will continue to be in contact with him when we apply for citizenship in a few years.

Mr.

Erich Straub was recommended to us by a very good friend and we could not be happier with the help we received. The entire green card application process was made very easy for us and Erich Straub always responded promptly to any questions that arose. He made the entire process far less stressful tha...n we were expecting and very easy to understand. We never encountered any issues which was a major concern given that we had family members who hired other attorneys that were not at allhelpful. We cannot recommend him enough to anyone else who may be going through the immigration process.

Do yourself a favor… Contact Straub Immigration.

You do not have to endure a seemingly hopeless, and emotionally exhausted experience in fear and uncertainty…. You can retain the legal services of Straub Immigration. Roughly 10 years ago my husband (petitioner) and I filled my “adjustment of status” application shortly after we were married. I am n...ot a US citizen, making this process necessary for me to acquire the legal authorization to work and live in the US. We expected the application process to procedural. The process could be tedious and slow moving at times, but we were committed to the progression at whatever pace. We were incorrect and learned that even the slightest miscue can turn this “simple process” into a lifelong battle, with little margin for error. This makes your selection of an attorney paramount. We worked with a couple attorneys who were NOT Erick Straub and suffered potentially permanent setbacks… our application was denied. We needed a new attorney. We recognized that this new attorney was done no great service by the previous attorney who would narrow and confine the parameters for him based on previous fillings…we needed somebody really good. After some online research, we decided that attorney Straub may be the only one capable of helping us. Choosing Straub was the “fourth quarter” course correction that proved to be the best decision that we made. We provided him with a challenge, and he met that challenge with an optimist that restored our hope. The process with Straub was engaging and even fun in contrast to the nightmares experience of the previous 7 years. Our only regret was not retaining his services initially, as this could have been the simple “procedure” that I referred to earlier. Too late… Straub has to undo the muddied past to create a path to victory in the future. He was successful. I received my “legal resident” status adjustment and we are very grateful to Erich Straub. Making the wrong election in this process could prove to be critical. Consider the magnitude of the outcome. If you are in a similar situation and you are in need of help, do yourself a favor… Contact Straub Immigration.

Wonderful Experience, Great Lawyer

Attorney Straub was recommended to us by a friend in the legal field. Not knowing much about immigration, we were hesitant and nervous to contact him. After a few emails, we were able to set up an initial consultation with Attorney Straub. We had many questions, but he explained everything in a very ...clear and easy to understand way. He answered all questions promptly and without hesitation. His knowledge and experience in the field was clear and made us feel much more comfortable with our situation. Attorney Straub is a very courteous and experienced lawyer who is great with his clients. After the initial consultation, we immediately knew we wanted to hire him for our case. Less than a year after our initial consultation, we got our case resolved and Attorney Straub helped us every step of the way. We really appreciated his constant reassurance and guidance throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend him to anyone.
