Very professional

I hired Ms. Lawson and her team for my EB-1 case and I am happy I did. Lidia took a creative approach and created a winning strategy on how to best present my accomplishments in the field of business. Considering the current immigration climate, my case was approved after an extensive request for e...vidence. USCIS approved within one week after submitting the response via Premium Processing. Now we are waiting on our green cards in the US, thank you Lawson Law.

Professional work

I hired Ms. Lawson to obtain extraordinary ability visa in choreography, visa O-1B based on my international achievements. We prepared the mounds of documents within three months, working tirelessly on both ends. You just never know how much documentation you would need for such a visa. Despite supp...ort from Lidia, it was still overwhelming process and over 3,000 pages were the result of the labour. Finally, the O-1 visa was approved and Lidia prepared me and my family for the interview at the embassy. The interview process was horrifying, but I was prepared for the worst, as Ms. Lawson described several instances of interviews turn interrogations. Luckily, being prepared helped me answer all questions informatively and not be too nervious. The entire process took 6 months after USCIS approved my petition and interview was granted. In my opinion, if it was not for the expertise of a knowledgeable attorney and preparation for the interview, things may not have worked out the way I hoped. Thank you.

Great support

Thank you Lidia for changing our family life forever. Because Lidia took over our case from another attorney we hired who only worsened our situation by bad advice, we are here and reunited. She suggested to go for EB1 since I had an employer willing to sponsor. I was worried about the complexity ...of the process, but Lidia helped me through it. Despite much additional documentation and delay because of it, my petition was approved right away. Highly recommend!

Very thorough

I hired Lawson Law for my investor E-2 visa. As an entrepreneur, my startup was in the process of getting ready to start operations, pending visa situation. Many attorneys turned me down because my investment amount was less than $150,000. Lidia took my case and made a strong case for why my busine...ss required a smaller funding and with market research and business plan she prepared, USCIS did not question this issue. She layed out a strategy and a step by step as to how I need to proceed with money transfer, funding, spending on the US company, etc, so that I would have the proper documentation to show USCIS that meetst the criteria. I am glad I did not give up and talked to one more lawyer who was knowledgeable and thorough. My case was approved without RFE and I have started my business operations in the US.

Professional lawyer

My family hired Lawson Law after having a bad experience with another firm, where my wife's O-1 visa was denied. Lidia reviewed the documentation, suggested ways we can strengthen our case and built a solid strategy for EB-1. My EB-1 was approved within 15 days and without RFE, which I believe is ra...re these days. Very thankful to Lidia and her team for changing our lives for the better, now we can stay in the US and work.
