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.

Green card renewal and citizenship

Mr Flann and his team were absolutely amazing. They guided me through two different processes ( my green card renewal and citizenship) and... made it happen with few to no hiccups ( the few I had didn't depend on them but the process itself). The fee is super fair. I especially need to thank Collette..., the assistant that literally held my hand during the entire process. She was always there for me when I had a question and was always able to point me in the right direction. I would absolutely recommend them when thinking about an immigration law firm! Thank you again!

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.

Highly Recommend!

My wife and I have worked with Christopher and his team over the past 4 years and are so grateful for all they have done for us. They have been with us every step of the way, from the beginning of my journey to immigrate to the U.S. through marriage, all the way to receiving my citizenship recently. ...They were professional and personable from day one and always made it clear what we would need to do for every process we entered into. They worked with us to make sure every form submitted was as prepared as possible for the best chances of approval, made sure that myself and my wife were prepared before each interview and even made sure that we kept everything in line while traveling several times out of the U.S. while holding a green card. Christopher is great, when talking to him he always remembered our names, our story, our plans and our interests. He and his assistants were always able to answer our many questions over the years. When needed, they made us aware of upcoming policy changes or fee increases that pertained to my case, and were able to prepare what we needed in a timely matter to meet deadlines and help us avoid having to pay more when, if we were quick, we didn't need to. My whole process of immigrating here went as smoothly as is even possible thanks to the hard work and attention to detail of everyone at ILM. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you! I highly recommend Christopher and Immigration Law of Montana to anyone with immigration needs!
