Solve the imposible

After my first application I filed on my own, to become an American citizen was turned down for the reason of not reading or writing English. I contacted Kristie her first responce was what you were born and lived in England for more that 20 years, You have lived in the US for more than 16 years you ...are on your second Green card. That was only the begining of the INS incompetence. We filed for my wife and children to reside with me in our house in Florida. INS lost the file. Resulting in a 1 year delay After the INS approved my petition the NVC lost my case and paper work 3 times resulting in another year passing . In all another 3 year wait. But the story was not quite finished they sent the green cards to the wrong address. I feel with out Kristie I would of given up.

From F1 to CPT to B1/B2 to H1B (x2) to Green Card.

It has been a memorable journey, made all the more successful with the help of Ms Kristie Bowerman. I have worked for many years in commerce and industry, and seldom have I experienced the extreme professionalism, coupled with the kindness and understanding of a dedicated person. To clarify, I had er...roneously used another attorney for my initial H1b. I was 'mistracked' by this person and failed to secure the visa. Ms. Bowerman took over the case and advised that there was no capitation for the H1B for which I was applying; this was unknown to me. My visa was secured on appeal in a matter of days - avoiding having to leave the USA - thanks to Ms. Bowerman. I cannot praise and compliment her work highly enough and have recomended this service to some friends. Kindest regards Gerard Mc Clelland

Very good experience for H1B visa and Green card

I had a very good experience with Kristie. Everything for my visa and then my Green card went as planned, even if they both are long processes. She has been able to explain me every step and to give me more information if I needed. Thank you Kristie.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
