Permanent Residency

Jennifer is an outstanding immigration lawyer. She helped me change my F-1 status to H1B and ultimately obtain permanent residency. She always kept me updated and answered all my questions promptly during this long and complex process. I highly recommend Jennifer for immigration matters.

Jennifer helped me with our RFE for AOS.

An error with Adobe Acrobat screwed up our AOS process. I entered our original marriage date and the printer in my home broke for unknown reasons. I had to copy the I-485 form in an external USB drive and took it to FedEx for printing. Unfortunately, when I opened the document in FedEx, Adobe default...ed the marriage date to current date. I did not know this until I received an RFE which stated that the marriage date in application does not match the date in certificate. The amount of evidence required was enormous and the verbiage in the RFE was like Latin (We weren't able to understand a single sentence). That's when we met Jennifer to help us with the RFE and she was very professional, knowledgeable and guided us with the right documents. The way she organized the documents was phenomenal. Our AOS was approved in 3 days after USCIS received the response for RFE. I would highly recommend her for any immigration questions or issues.

knowledgeable and attention to detail

Jennifer handled my H1b transfer when my situation was in a mix. she did a great job filing my transfer on time and responded to the RFE and got it approved. Her documentation is exemplary and i highly recommend her for any immigration issues.

Very Professional Lawyer

She helped to process all my immigration documents from Religious Worker Visa to Permanent Residency in a very professional way. I am glad to have her as my attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
