Friendly and knowledgeable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

ME: I was on a student visa with EAD card (STEM-OPT). I had proposed to my gf and applied for OPT extension under the advice of my DSO. My extension was denied for being late by a few days due to my DSO mixing up dates. The company I worked for appealed but it was rejected. I consulted John, complet...ed green card application and received it 2 months ago. My then fiance and I did our best to get all the information for the application for AOS but some of the language was so confusing. She has a doctorate and I have a degree in engineering. My sympathies to those who must endure this process with ESL. We had very specific questions about different sections, timing of applications and various procedures since we would be moving, had multiple wedding dates, my work eligibility was expiring and I wasn't sure if I would be able to stay in the country.....you name it. After taking a chance to email Mr. Sesini with the hardest questions, he promptly responded and suggested we set up a phone call to discuss the details. The next day, he contacted us (after work hours) and answered ALL of our questions. He seemed to know every line and blank space on the 8+ forms and gave us confidence in moving forward with our application. In conversation, he listened well and was not condescending in his responses. He had all of the timelines, application costs and requirements at his fingertips. A few days after we submitted our application, John followed up with us to see if we completed it or needed help. At no point did we feel pressured by him to hire for his services. This process can be very stressful. Speaking with John for a few minutes helped us a great deal. Someone as knowledgeable, professional and kind as him would be a great person to have on your side.

Success!!

John Sesini was recommended to me and husband back in 2012. My husband, a permanent resident at the time, wanted to go home and visit his family. Given that he had legal complications shortly after his arrival here in 2004, I sought legal advice as to whether he'd have difficulty leaving/re-enterin...g the country. I called several lawyers and all told me it should not be an issue. Still something didn't feel right. After our friend referred us to John, I called him. He was the only lawyer to say don't let your husband get on a plane. He can leave but may not be able to re-enter the country! At that point, I knew we'd found your lawyer!! Subsequently, we had our initial consultation with John as to how to remedy my husband's legal issues. Never once did he mince words. Our case was complex but not impossible. He instilled faith in us when we needed it most. He was always responsive to our calls and emails and we never felt like we were "just another client". He was always clear about his fees and they were very reasonable. Finally, after 5 long years of waiting, we received the news we'd hoped for most and my husband was granted citizenship. We are now looking forward to a trip back to his homeland to visit family and friends soon. We can't thank John and his team enough for seeing our case through to the end and for helping us as much as he did!

Our family is together now, thanks to these folks.

I have been practicing law in Wisconsin for 30 years, so I knew that when our family needed an immigration attorney, we would turn to the very best in the State: the Sesini Law Group. John and his staff successfully handled a difficult case for citizenship for us as well as the securing of an immigr...ation visa. Thorough, knowledgeable, practical, responsive and above all caring, we could not have been in better hands. We remain immensely grateful for all John and his staff has accomplished for us. Our family is together now, thanks to these folks. I most highly recommend the Sesini Law Group to anyone needing the services of an immigration attorney.

Residency

I first contacted Mr.Sesini for a DACA situation. After listening to my situation Mr.Sesini discovered there was a better path I could take that would benefit me. I am extremely satisfied with John Sesini and Heydee Villafuerte. They always answered and replied to my questions and concerns in a timel...y manner. I also want to mention the receptionist who were always very friendly and helpful as they tried to answer questions I had. My case had resolution in less than a year. Mr. Sesini was also referred to me by a close friend. Thank you!!

John Sesini and Heydee Villafuerte did an excellent job with my Husband case getting a waiver & getting my stepson's in the USA

I take very serious other people's reviews and comments and I wanted to share my own experience with Sesini through a visa request for my step son and a getting my husband waiver accepted and process quick, since he entered to America w/out a Visa. John Sesini and his team worked hard to get my husba...nd's waiver through immigration (Perdon waiver) Sesini and his paralegal Heydee Villafuerte worked on both cases for a little over a year, providing me updates and information that I needed as the case progress, they guided me what I needed to do in my end in order to be step ahead with paperwork that immigration needed as the case progressed, Sesini is approachable and helpful, he understand the need of having a family united and the frustration that immigrants go through when we feel the law is unfair with us. Sesini is also very honest since the beginning he told me that was not a easy case to resolved but he was going to do his best to get my husband's papers and pardon accepted. The process is lengthy but it is not up to the lawyers it is up to immigration laws, I educated myself learning and asking questions to Heydee or John, they are really good getting back to their client in timely fashion via email, or phone call. I suggest to reach out to them via email first. After the waiver was issued and my husband went back to origin country to get his Visa, it only took 4 weeks to get him back to America. It was a blessing and that was because American embassy and immigration had all the paper work and information was needed and put together by Sesini and Heydee. After my husband and stepsons' visas were issued to be legal in American the rest it was matter of few months to get the green card by mail and all the wait and money spent on the lawyer fees was worth it! Sesini even came with us to immigration office when we were schedule for a visit and he had a translator for my husband who did not speak much English. Overall I had a great experience with them and I will definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a lawyer for immigration.
