Lisa Scott

I have recently used Scott Immigration law firm's cervices to file I-140 NIW and I-485. I-140 was submitted in April 2007, was approved after RFE in June 2008. Price and guaranteed success: Most likely when you look around, you will be able to find a cheaper immigration attorney. However, when I ...was considering different options, the most important factor to me was - the reputation and success rate. From several independent sources I have heard that Lisa Scott is one of the best immigration lawyers in Chicago area. So I decided that in the long run it will turn out to be better to pay one or two thousand more, but to ensure that my case is handled by the best in the business. She does not give you any guarantee that the case will or will not be successful. I found it very professional, as opposed to those who claim certain amount of guarantee. Also from several people I have heard that she takes the case only if she believes that it has a significant probability to be approved. I personally know couple of people who's cases she did not take, although they were more than ready to pay her for the cervises. Preparing documents for NIW petition: It will take you some time and effort to collect all the documents and support letters. Lisa provides you with several templates for the support letters and the questionnaire, which helps you to structure your achievements in a way that USCIS people can see exactly what they look for during decision making process. It will be your responsibility to provide all the information and modify templates for support letters according to your case. Lisa will take care of final corrections and adjustments. When you have all the paperwork ready, you hand it over to her and she finalizes it, indexes and submits to USCIS. Responsiveness and knowledgeability: I am a person who likes to have everything organized, and who does things according to the plan. In this respect, it was my pleasure to work with Lisa, who responded to e-mails immediately, and was always able to give me a time-frame regarding to the preparation of the documents. I found her extremely professional and knowledgeable of what she does. Also it is worth mentioning that her assistants are very friendly, helpful and understanding, which I found to be very important in this stressful situation. Handling RFE from USCIS: In most of the cases with NIW they will send you the request for additional evidence (RFE). Practically the yes/no from USCIS will depend on your response to the RFE. And again I have to say that she was very good in handling that situation. She reviewed the RFE and decided what exactly we needed to submit. Although I felt like I have enough for the RFE response, she insisted to provide more documents than they requested, in order to ensure the approval. Although I was in a time-crunch, I decided to follow her suggestions and never regretted about it. My case was approved in a week after submitting a response to RFE. Overall impression: I highly recommend Lisa Scott immigration firm. She is very knowledgeable, responsive and understanding. She takes the handling of the case personally and ensures that everything, and a little bit more than required, is done for the approval. It was my pleasure to have business with her.

3 other attorneys had told me that my case will take 3-5 years. With Lisa Scott I received the green card in seven months from the day we started the process. If the case is hopeless she'll tell you this right away....even if you don't want to hear that. Lisa will not take your money if she's not abl...e to help. I will ALWAYS recommend the legal services she provides.

I contacted Lisa to help me with my green card application (National interest waiver). She is rigorous in her selection of clients. I appreciated this as this means that no one's time or money is wasted. Over many emails she carefully evaluated my situation before she told me she could help me. This ...initial consultation was free. I received a list of documentation required. Throughout the process Lisa was meticulous in gathering supporting evidence of my eligibility for a green card. I had to provide copies of awards, claims, publications and professional memberships. I also needed to supply a research statement and media articles which described my area of specialization. In some cases I had to choose what information to supply and her in-depth experience of immigration law really helped clarify what information was pertinent. Gathering all these pieces of documentation was a painful task, but I believe the effort was worth it. My green card application was approved in 3 months. I could not have hoped for a better result. In addition, Lisa was responsive to my email inquiries. I had inquires regarding overseas travel and employment while my application was being considered by USCIS. She was professional in all her responses - she made no false promises, and stuck to the facts. I recommend her without reservation.

This person is not accessible to talk even after you pay. All forms had mistakes while filling out. No attention to detail. Cause of her my case got dragged for years longer than it had to. Nothing to with USCIS just her bad behavior and unwillingness to be carful for her clients. She is a VERY BAD p...erson. I hope she stops practicing and does a major help to the society! I wish I never had met her or hired her.
