The best attorney ever!

I’m currently a rising senior in high school, and the college application was looming ahead. I was very desperate to get my green card because I knew that I would need it to apply to many big scholarships as well as receive federal aid. My family had been waiting for 6 long years, with practically ra...dio silence from USCIS on our application status. Then, in March of this year, we received a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) from them, giving us 30 days to respond with evidence, lest we face deportation. That was a terrifying moment; I felt all my college dreams and future hopes slipping out of my fingers. My mother and I went to speak to the lawyer we had at the time (not Lisa), and he basically gave up on us immediately. He told us how impossible our case was, and how there was really no way to fight it and we should pretty much start getting packed and ready for deportation. We left his office and made the executive decision to get a different, better lawyer. We found Lisa online (this website actually!) right after, made a phone call to her office and within half an hour, were on our way to her office. While meeting her for the first time, she immediately struck me as an extremely attentive and caring listener, which let me know that she is an attorney who really cares about her clients. We gave her the copy of the NOID letter to read and, contrary to our previous lawyer’s opinion, did not consider our case impossible at all. Within the hour of meeting her, she had already strategized an approach for our case and gave us more hope than we’d felt in a while. She was unbelievably kind, empathetic and above all, amazing at her job. It was obvious to us while working with her that she knew very well what she was doing, and that she had a passion for it. She helped us successfully have our best response of evidence packaged in the allotted 30 days and sent back to USCIS. We were then back to waiting again. During our waiting time, I had also been pursuing a summer internship at Fermi National Acceleration Lab (Fermilab). I was extremely excited about this new opportunity, but I was almost unable to do it because I lacked not only a green card, but a valid work authorization. Wonderful Lisa, again, stepped in and directed me towards a solution for this problem. She got me in contact with someone in the senator’s office, who helped me get my application for work authorization expedited, and it came right in time for me to work at Fermilab! It was honestly a dream come true, and I appreciate Lisa greatly for helping me make it happen. Just 2 days ago, we received a letter in the mail from USCIS: An Approval Notice. Our green card was approved! I’ve never felt more joy. It was unbelievable timing as well: right before I entered the bulk of my college applications. After waiting for that news for 6 years, Lisa made it happen within 5 months, which is simply a testament to her incredible skill level as an attorney. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a lawyer; she cares about her clients and will put in all her efforts to help you get what you need. Lisa’s the best!

Thank you so much for these kind words and compliments. I am glad that you and your family trusted me to help out. I am also happy that you could participate in the Fermi Lab internship; it sounds like it was fun and that you learned a lot and made some good contacts. I hope you and your family stay in touch. I just wanted to add (a year later) that I am so proud of your accomplishments. Lisa

290B motion approved after 485 AOS denied by mistake

I have my EB2 485 initially denied in Aug 2018. It was a USCIS service error for incorrect chargeability interpretation. Lisa and her associate, Jessica, helped me initially trying to fix the problem by filling service request for saving money on the motion filing fee. It was appreciated they visited... USCIS field office a few times for this. Unfortunately due to the inefficiency of USCIS, we still have to file the motion via 290B for my case. Lisa and Jessica help this out seamlessly and the form was sent in just 2 days of preparation time. Most importantly, either Lisa or Jessica replied my email within hours whenever I had concerns during the whole period of time. That's unbelievable and was the major reason I went to them. The 290B was eventually approved after 3 months during a personal follow up in the field office. That made me believe Lisa must put a strong statement in my motion that makes the case strong and being approved instantly when it's been reviewed. Overall, thanks to Lisa and Jessica for taking care of my case with high efficiency, courtesy and a reasonable charge. Recommend Lisa to anyone who may need help for the immigration issues.

Kind, courteous and fantastic service

Lisa has been fantastic! We found ourselves in a difficult situation with me in the US for my job and my wife and new born daughter back in Australia awaiting visa approvals with the delays causing significant stress on our family. Lisa understood our situation straight away, understood the urgency o...f getting this sorted quickly to get our family back together and found the solution all within a matter of days. Highly recommend her for legal issues surrounding immigration law.
