Green card handling

We worked with Mark Davidson and Gwen Neslund on the lengthy process of getting my green card through my professional engagement. I am very happy with their service and overall professionalism. Right from the very beginning, their advice was solid and on point, and their extrapolation of what happens... next always accurate. They were friendly and quick to answer a question or to just appease a nervous client.

Savior attorney

I highly recommend Yllka Seseri who is a partner with Law firm of Davidson and Seseri for Immigration law services. Yllka and her team worked with me to secure my Permanent Residency ( Green Card ). My case was little unique, I came to America on J1 visa so I had two year rule on my visa. So I could ...not apply for any kind of immigration benefit. Yllka, Fabiano and the rest of the team with their great effort and expertise , helped me secured a Waiver so that the 2 year rule on my visa would not apply, when I applied for Green card. After successfully getting approved for the waiver, their team got my I-130 and I -485 approved and as a result of that I received my Green card. Yllka and her team thoroughly prepared me and my wife for the immigration interview and accompanied us through the whole process. This law firm responded well to our many inquiries and answered our questions in a way that was easy for us to understand. Moreover, their responses to me were in a very timely manner. It is my opinion that Yllka and her team are expert and very competent in immigration law. I would personally like to Thank Yllka, Fabiano and their entire team for their relentless work on my case.

Confidence and dedication at the desired supreme level

When it comes to immigration and residency in US there is always a lot of stress and some level of uncertainty & confusion. When a first started to work with Yllka I instantly realized what makes her and Davidson & Seseri team different than other firms; She was not only dedicating her expertise to... my case but also genuinely caring and understanding my situation. She attended and cared to my necessities with finest delicacy and confident professionalism. She walked me through details not only during preparation and presentation of my case but during entire process. She has prepared me with due diligence and walked me through the entire interview and joined with me. The closing statement she gave was really a cherry on top of the cake. It was a true statement of how well prepared she was for my case. Her team was always available to pick my calls up and respond to me in the earliest convenient time. The team is not only keeping me updated on my progress status all the time but also informing me on latest developments and helping me utilize the processes and navigate through challenges with appropriate solutions. Davidson & Seseri was also gracious enough to postpone the finances during the Covid-19 outbreak. I am ever grateful I have came across her and hired her during the most difficult and challenging judicial process of my life. If you need someone you can undoubtedly count on throughout the rough immigration processes Yllka is the partner you are in need of. I have recommended Yllka to anyone that I think in need of her and I don’t think I will stop doing so because she is the best. Thank you Yllka & Esma for outstanding performance. Me and my family are much obliged!

Simply the BEST!

I can't express how truly grateful my family and I are for having Yllka as our immigration attorney. We had a very difficult case, to say the least, and she knew every way to resolve the situation and bring the case to an end. From the beginning, she always knew which next steps to take and what poss...ible outcomes there were. Everything happened the exact way she said it would. She is such a compassionate person and really cares about her clients. Yllka made us feel very comfortable during every interaction throughout our entire time working with her. She also never asked about money or made us feel like that was a priority. She was more concerned about getting the best outcome for the case. We have been through many immigration attorneys and you can tell which ones are truly there for you. We always knew that we were in good hands. I cannot express how thankful we are. Because of Yllka, my father was granted permission to reside in the U.S.. An outcome that we thought was nearly impossible. After 20 years of living here, we considered this our home and would have been heartbroken if we had to leave. Yllka knew that & knew exactly what to do. We never questioned any of her work. She was always on top of everything and filed all the necessary paperwork very quickly. We were very afraid that we would have to relocated but Yllka promised us that she would do everything in her power to keep my family here. Yllka most definitely makes the impossible, possible. I can sit here all day and write about how much of an amazing attorney she is but you will be able to tell yourself once you meet her. She is the absolute best! There is no one else we would ever choose besides Yllka. Again, we will never be able to thank her enough. She has the kindest heart and we will forever be grateful for her! Love always <3
