We are so pleased with Brian Aust!

After many failed attempts by me to have my wife's visa approved, I contacted Aust-Schmiechen. Brian expertly and patiently guided us through the process, resulting in my wife's arrival in the U.S. with residency and soon after, a green card. I can't say enough about the courteous, professional staff... at the firm and we were so pleased to meet Brian in person. I highly recommend Brian's services.

Excellent representation

Brian was terrific. He gave us reliable, focused advice and helped us get a large filing done very quickly (way beyond the call of duty) to avoid an adverse rule change. Accuracy and attention to detail were excellent, and his support staff was also superb. Very friendly and efficient office. He did ...an excellent job helping us prepare for our interview and walking us through the entire complicated process of getting LPR status.

Positive results when we hired Brian Aust

Brian Aust is a dedicated attorney who worked tirelessly even after hours on deadlines working against us. He has strong work ethics, integrity and no matter what stage of the process we were in, he always kept us informed. We hired him to help us through the process of immigration interview. We a...lso needed a waiver document and successfully results with permanent legal status. If you don't give up, he will not give up on you.

Excellent Attorney ever

Brian Aust is the best immigration lawyer I have come across who goes above and beyond to understand your situation, addressing it with all professionalism and expertise. I went to the immigration in Abu Dhabi many times and the process was almost impossible.The moment my wife contacted Brian, everyt...hing became glamorous.He responds timely to all your worries and concerns prioritising and placing you like part of his family and you are at ease until the end of the process. Thanks Brian and Aust Schmiechen for taking up my case with such dexterity.It was worth working with such an experience law firm and registering a huge success with a short notice taking into consideration the complexity of the case as it was an inadmissibility waiver visa application.
