Extremely Satisfied!

I just received my E2 Visa with the help of Becky Bodony. From the very beginning, she has been extremely professional. She is an excellent communicator, responding to emails or phone calls generally the day she receives them. Becky is very knowledgable, and she gave me valuable insight into the in...tricacies of the application process. I was confident in her knowledge and ability to help me receive the visa. I am more than satisfied with my experience working with Becky. She is wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for an immigration lawyer.

Green card petition

I had the pleasure to work with Becky Botany to prepare my petition for a green card after I married a US citizen. She was highly knowledgeable and always prompt to respond to my emails. Becky was very thorough in editing all documents in the application and was a great coach to prepare for the inter...view. I will definitely seek her again for upcoming immigration legal needs.

E3 Visa Holder Rebecca Bodony

From the first consultation through to having the approved visa Rebecca was incredible. The whole process was easy and straightforward and went quickly. Everything was explained and any information that was required was explained in understandable language. Rebecca was always courteous and helpful at... all stages of the process and I have no hesitations what so ever to recommend her to anyone requiring and immigratin attorney.

WOW....is all I can say!

I firstly wanted to start by saying how experience, patience and people skills all pool together to ensure the best possible outcome. I think after reading through review after review, I originally put a colleague of mine in touch with Rebecca and he had nothing short, but spectacular service. ... When came time for myself to use an immigration lawyer, who else was I to turn to. During my immigration process there were an number of project hurdles which rendered my application in a situation for re-application with an alteration of time frames. This was no match for Rebecca and she swiftly, turned the tide, whereby everything was handled within hours. I also came across hurdles during a time when the US visa systems went down globally and Rebecca was more than prompt to work on expediting my visa through the system and all of her skills, determination and focus concluded in an amazing relationship and outcome for myself. I will definitely be using her again and referring her to anyone that so much as whispers "immigration" when it pertains to US visas.

One of the best Professionals I have ever worked with

Hello, I employed Rebecca Bodony in 2013 to prepare and follow the preparation of my VISA. I was really impress for her very professional but also very human approach to my case. She evaluated the best VISA for me (O1) and she guided me on the preparation of the documents and than she managed in a ...very short time to prepare the request that was soon accepted. I was impressed for her great communication skills and of course for the deep knowledge of the immigration Laws and Regulation. Just recently I employed her again for another VISA application for my company, and also in this case the results were above the expectations, with a positive overcome of the this second request. She is now the reference immigration lawyer for or company and she will soon be called again to handle other cases. I would recommend her to anyone, with either simple or complex cases.
