Highly recommended

Attorney Bodony is actively working for my parents green card cases. My experience with her has been very positive. She is prompt with her responses, always helpful and professional. I truly appreciate the realistic feedback on what to expect with the timelines for processing. I highly recommend Atto...rney Bodony.

Successful Employment-Based Immigration. Above and Beyond my Expectations. I Highly Recommend Rebecca Bodony

Rebecca went above and beyond my expectations. We started an employment-based immigration process with Becky that lasted for 4 years (through no fault of her own) and she was with us every step of the way helping the company hiring me and I to navigate through all the complicated processes and deal ...with unknowns such as government shutdowns and the global pandemic. Becky was always prompt, thorough, knowledgeable, and never had a problem dealing with my incessant barrage of questions. I am extremally lucky to have found Becky to deal with our case. I don't know if it would have worked out if it weren't for her. I simply cannot recommend her enough!

Appreciating Becky Bodony

Becky Bodony has been managing my EB-5 immigration process for the past several years and is a dream to work with. Patient, empathetic, pro-active, maniacally focused and super competent at her job, Becky is a credit to her profession and her firm. I have referred several of my friends to her and the...y all, without exception, share the same view as I. My family and I could not be more lucky and grateful to have Becky managing our EB-5 process.

10 stars

Rebecca Bodony successfully helped me with my E3 visa. She is very patient, thorough and professional. I had a lot of questions and she kindly went through and explained everything since visas can be overwhelming and made the process much easier for me. I will recommend her to anyone that needs an im...migration attorney. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!

Amazing US Immigration Lawyer - Look No Further!

I couldn't recommend Becky highly enough! If you're looking for an immigration lawyer, she's the one! Becky went above and beyond assisting me and my (now) current employer with getting me an E3 visa! I initially contacted Becky based on the reviews I read online. We scheduled a consultation o...ver the phone where she answered any questions I had (for free). I was so reassured and confident after our call that I convinced my future employer to engage her over another attorney they had used before to guide us through the visa application process (which she did exceptionally)! After working with her, I realized the reviews I read didn't do her justice. Words can't describe how wonderful she was to work with: she always responds quickly, has an incredible system in place for document sharing, has an intimate and expert understanding of the complexities surrounding US immigration law and most helpfully she was able to explain them to us in plain English. Becky also reviewed my spouse's documents when she applied for her E3 Dependent Visa (which was also approved). We have since engaged her to assist us in going through the process to get work authorization for my spouse based on the E3 Dependent Visa. If we ever have to apply for another US visa, we will go nowhere else.
