After relocating from Europe to USA, I was worried of the following legal procedures as our immigration attorney at the time started showing signes of unreliability until stopped communicating completely. Eventually this turned out to be a good thing as we hired Chavez & Valko to handle my EB-1 intra...company transferee I-140 petition. Mr. Valko with his paralegal Ms. Bunch patiently explained the whole process upfront and kept us informed at all times. My petition was approved really fast after which Mr. Valko gave a personal advice to me and my then fiancé, that saved us much time and stress as our green cards got approved very quickly after that. The company we work for, as well as both of us, are very pleased with Chavez and Valko’s service and professional approach. Manager, Fortune 500 company, antivirus software industry

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.

I’m a Sr.Netweaver administrator at a Fortune 500 company which manufactures and distributes steel. My company retains Chavez & Valko immigration law firm and their corporate immigration team initially assisted my company with the transfer of my H-1B and H-4 petitions from my previous employer. Afte...r I was “ported” the company filed a new labor PERM application in a faster category and the I-140 petition was then filed to recapture my earlier priority date from my old petition which was successful. Our cases were not very simple as the I-485 green card applications for me and my wife were accepted first without our kids. During this time Martin Valko and his paralegals worked relentlessly on my cases, communicated with USCIS, and even conferenced me into a call to make sure that all of the cases were consolidated. What sets this team apart from other attorneys I worked with in the past is that they were always accessible and provided me with regular updates and answered my calls or emails sometimes within minutes. After the priority dates became current this year we received a call from Martin that our green cards are being produced and that was the best news for me and my family as we have been in this immigration process for many years. I would recommend Chavez & Valko to my family and friends without hesitation and not only in employment cases but also for deportation and family immigration needs. Their team is the best.

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)
