After almost 10 years in the US immigration process I finally received my US permanent residency (Green Card) in August 2013. This is life changing in so many areas. I work in a mid-management position for a Fortune 500 company in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex area and sometime in the mid-2000s..., my company migrated its immigration legal representatives from a very expensive Washington DC area firm to the much more affordable firm of Chavez & Valko in the DFW area. While there were a few parties involved in my process, the champions have been Martin Valko and his team of Paralegals (including the ever available Shannon) at Chavez & Valko. As anyone who may have gone through the US immigration system can attest, the suspense and uncertainties in the process can be a teeth grinding experience. Throughout my dual intent H1B & PERM process Martin and his team kept me updated, performed timely execution of the series of USCIS document filing and notifications, State Department visa applications, provided me and my family reassurance during USCIS delays, and pretty much held my hands through it all. I am very grateful for their hard work, proactive professionalism, dedication to my personal process, and uncompromising commitment to deliver. I am already gladly recommending the firm of Chavez & Valko to family, friends and anyone else who may have any form of immigration issues whether they are being handled through their corporate/employer sponsorship or personally.

After a very disappointing experience with our immigration attorney who was never available and evaded returning calls or emails, our company decided to engage Mr. Valko to help with immigration petition. Mr. Valko with is paralegal Ms. Bunch handled our EB-1 intracompany transferee I-140 petition f...or a manager that was approved much earlier than expected. They followed up and filed adjustment of status forms which were successfully approved as well. During the entire process, Mr. Valko made sure we had information on the status of the petition or application, and that any questions we had were answered promptly. Our company was very satisfied with their services and professional approach. We regret not engaging Chavez and Valko earlier because it would have saved us lots of time and money.

My company took the services of Mr. Valko for filing my H1-Bs transfer, H4 extensions, AC21 portability and finally processing for a new EB-2 labor certification (PERM) with I-140 petition and recapturing my earlier priority date. My case was somewhat involved since there was a need to handle the CSP...A scenario too for my elder daughter. Martin was extremely professional and knowledgeable in these areas and successfully got the Green cards for my family. The characteristic behavior that puts Martin above all other attorneys that I know of is that he understood and felt my concern and was accessible all through the process and patiently responding timely to all the queries which were more due to my specific scenario. I thank Martin and his great team for all their help, support, and guidance and the end result made me and my family extremely happy Thanks a lot Martin and I really appreciate all your help - BV. with Family, Irving, TX (Employee of Fortune 500 Company)

I am very satisfied for the service provided by Mr. Valko and his team. They helped me to obtain the H1b visa. This year, it was expected that the lottery would be held for H1b petitions. So, it was very important to submit a petition on the first week of the application opening (staring April 1st).... However, due to some circumstance, I had to ask a lawyer to prepare my visa petition less than two weeks before the opening day. And, I never hesitated to choose Mr. Valko and his team to handle my petition. Last year, I consulted him a few times over phone regarding my questions on visa application, and I was impressed with his expertise in the immigrant law. Also, he has been very friendly and sincere throughout our communications. I knew I could trust him and his guidance. And, thanks to him and his team, my petition was prepared competently and submitted in timely manner (*reached on the opening date) and approved without any request from the immigrant office for additional documentations/evidences. Also, I appreciated that he responded to my email inquiries very quickly when I needed most. If you are looking for a lawyer for handling your H1b visa (or any other visa), I highly recommend Mr. Valko and his team.
