Green card

We hired Mr. Flann to aid us obtain a green card based on marriage. We cannot express how thankful we are for all the help, especially grateful for all the work Mr Flann and his legal assistant Mrs Layton have done for us. They assisted us during the whole process of obtaining the green card: answer...ed all the emails and calls very promptly, reminded us of any missing information, instructed us on how to talk during the interview, and so much more. It is rather a stressful process and they were on top of everything during the entirety of it, their expertise cannot be highlighted enough. We will be asking for help again if need be. I highly recommend using their services, it is worth every penny.

Stress relief worth every penny!

When I received a Request for Evidence letter from USCIS regarding my I-751 petition to remove conditions on my green card, I was quite stressed and unsure how to proceed. A dear friend recommended Christopher, and I'm so grateful she did. From my first consultation, Christopher immediately put me a...t ease. His 30+ years of expertise showed as he helped me understand the RFE in context and explained exactly what USCIS was looking for. He is an excellent listener, incredibly knowledgeable, and has a calming presence that's invaluable during such a stressful process. Rather than taking over my case, Christopher empowered me to handle the response myself by providing clear, specific guidance on how to structure my declaration and organize my evidence. He told me exactly what to include and how to present it effectively. The entire team was responsive with excellent communication throughout. Just one week after I submitted my response following Christopher's guidance, my case was approved! The consultation fee was extremely reasonable given Christopher's level of expertise and the successful outcome. His guidance was invaluable and cost-effective--he gave me the tools to succeed without unnecessary legal fees.

Canadian candidate for employment by VISA in USA

Yellowstone Pathology Institute engaged Mr. Flann's practice to bring a well qualified employee candidate to us from Canada. They did great work! They explained everything thoroughly and outlined the costs and timeline so we knew what to expect. Even when we experienced a hiccup at the border for o...ur new employee, at no fault of ILOM, they promptly assisted us in the next steps so we could smoothly work through the obstacles and get the candidate cleared for work. They communicate very well and are timely with their work and accurate. I will use them again if the need arises, without hesitation. They understand the law well when it comes to employee VISA's and I felt confident in their preparation and product.

Great Experience!

We tried to process the paperwork on our own and didn't seem to be getting anywhere. After reaching out to Immigration Law of Montana, things started moving along. Not only did they apply in our behalf, but they kept us informed along the way. There was always someone to answer our questions. Best... decision we made!
