Double Citizenship status accomplished

Nestor is a trustworthy professional, he provided incredible support throughout my citizenship process from start to finish. Filling out that large amount of paperwork involved seemed really complicated but he broke it down and flagged the more urgent items, as well as reviewed the application carefu...lly multiple times as I provided additional information. He even travelled to Los Angeles to attend my interview. I’m extremely happy with my choice and highly recommend his services.

Assistance with Green Card

Nestor assisted us putting together a green card application for me (an Australian citizen) and my American wife. We met with Nestor after reading some good reviews of the firm he was working with and, despite a slightly longer wait for the initial consultation, found Nestor to be diligent, thorough ...and professional in all of our dealings with him. He responded promptly to emails and phone calls throughout the process — we'd heard what an arduous task assembling the paperwork for the application could be so were relieved to have Nestor essentially provide checklists, advice and preparatory interviews notes as we pulled our documentation together and prepared for the interview. At the outset, Nestor had told us to expect the process to take, in total, about 4–6 months. In the end, I had my green card in a little over 4 months. We felt very well prepared for our interview, to which Nestor accompanied us which made us infinitely more at ease with things. About mid-way through the process we had to return to Australia to see an ill relative, which required some scrambling to put in an application to be granted advance parole to re-enter the country while the green card application was being processed. Again, Nestor was extremely helpful in advising on the procedure and the various avenues we could look to explore should the advance parole application be delayed for whatever reason. We cut it pretty fine in the end but managed to get the advance parole issued, with Nestor accompanying me to the immigration office where we waited for several hours to be seen and to have the document issued. All in all, I"d highly recommend Nestor Vicario.

Outstanding consultation on obtaining citizenship and petition for Alien Relative

Nestor provided outstanding legal services to me and my parents. I had to file for citizenship and later on that year form I-130 for my parents. He is extremely experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to the immigration law. We loved his work ethic and passion, it was good to finally find someone... who truly cared about our case. He was very detail oriented, took his time explaining things and made us feel very comfortable and confident during the entire process. We ran into a few bumps with our paperwork and he was able to find thought-through creative solutions. I highly recommend Nestor to anyone who is looking for an amazing lawyer. Thank you once again for all of your help, couldn't finish this process without you!

Outstanding Attorney

Mr. Vicario gave me the confidence I needed during the entirety of my immigration process. My case was pending for a long time, and Mr. Vicario followed up with immigration every time without me asking. He kept me informed of every communication he had with immigration. Every letter he sent and all t...he phone calls he made to them. He stayed on top of everything until my case got approved!! I cannot thank him enough for all that he did for me. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs an immigration attorney.
