Highly Recommended

I know Lisa for the past 2 years. I met her initially in my University (UIUC) for a Immigration info session. A huge shout out to her as she makes an effort every year to travel and educate us with the Immigration process for International students. Lisa was very knowledge and precise. She has been k...ind and helpful since then. I have consulted Lisa for international travel options on OPT without a job offer and a number of times regarding my H1B petition from F1. It amazes me how she can respond at such a faster phase (almost instant) with a clear response and all possible options for the situation. I would highly recommend Lisa if you have any doubts with the US Immigration process!

Thank you for the kind words. I really like the time I get to spend with international students. I have been holding these kind of informative sessions at several universities (UIUC, DePaul, University of Toledo, Loyola, University of Illinois (UIC), UChicago Booth School of Business, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, going back to the 1990s. I think it is really important for students to create a strategy outlining immigration options as early as possible.

NIW

Lisa Scott is one amazing lawyer who goes above and beyond to help, and is arguably one of the best in the Chicago. I had reached out to Lisa last year in hopes to get an O-1 Artist Visa for visual arts after being a recent graduate in my Optional Practical Training (OPT). Instead of doing the bare m...inimum, Lisa and her team reviewed my case and decided to go with a National Interest Waiver (NIW). Throughout the whole entire process Lisa and her team were professional, kind, courteous, and timely with responses. It’s important to understand the people who work with Lisa both present and past are empathetic and ethical individuals that understand the anxieties and difficulty of immigration. The team is constantly working (including Lisa)- they reply to email promptly even during the weekends.  

It’s important to note that through the process they drafted professional letters and compiled a polished and organized petition package. I was in constant contact with different members through the entirety of my petition. Fast forward one year with the new changes with immigration. I finally received my interview time. Lisa decided to attend my immigration interview to assure that the process will go smoothly. Her being present was helpful and very much appreciated. Then following day my green card was issued and within a week I had the physical card in my hand. Lisa is one lawyer that cannot be emulated. I will keep consulting Lisa for any future immigration lawyer because I learned through the whole process she has a whole reservoir of knowledge. Plus she’s got a great sense of humor and is very charismatic. She truly is wonderful.

Thank you for the kind words, especially for commenting on my "sense of humor". :) I really enjoyed working on your national interest waiver. I learned a lot about your work. I will say that I feel that I am lucky to have had decades of experience in this field that I use everyday to keep up with the new challenges and changes in immigration law.

NIW petition case review

Lisa and her company helped me and my wife in getting a green card via NIW (national interest waiver). She is very fast and precise in response and communication. She is not only very efficient but also a person whom you feel you can trust, what I found very important during the whole process. I high...ly recommend Lisa to work with for anyone who needs to fix the immigration status fast, especially on NIW petitions that are based on scientific merits.

I should not be saying this but National Interest Waiver, Extraordinary Ability and O-1 visa petitions are my favorite part of immigration law. I like learning about the various areas in which my clients work.

Very knowledgable, very professional!!

My wife and I worked with Lisa in the process of our immigration procedure. We consulted with a number of lawyers before and Lisa stood out from the crowd in terms of professionalism, knowledge, honesty, and kindness. She took the time to sit down with us, explain things patiently and address all of ...our concerns. Our process was a bit exotic and many other lawyers were not familiar with it and did not bother to look into the details. Not only did Lisa know the details she was extremely attentive to detail and made sure everything was done properly. I would highly recommend Lisa!!!

Best in the business!

Lisa knows the ins and outs of all matters regarding immigration. I spoke with other attorneys and even they were baffled as to why I was seeking council elsewhere once I mentioned that Lisa Scott had decided to take on my case. I had a very serious case but felt at ease knowing that Lisa was guiding... me. I placed my blind trust in her and everything worked out. Lisa communicated in a timely and cordial manner; even when I was bothersome at times. The whole team is warm & personable and empathize with your situation. I felt very fortunate that Lisa accepted my case. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer. I feel like just one sentence doesn’t do it justice so I will repeat it again—I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer.
