Highly recommended!

I hired Mr. Valko and his firm 2 years ago. My case was not an easy one by any means. It was lengthy and complicated. As luck would have it, a new immigration program was put into place (Parole in Place), and I was able to qualify for it. Being a new procedure, there was not many prior cases to ref...er to, therefore requiring a combination of excellent immigration knowledge and a willingness to do extra legwork on research. Mr. Valko's legal team of immigration attorneys and paralegals spent hours of research and work into my case; keeping me updated throughout the process, and answering my questions and concerns in a very timely manner. Parole in Place is a very new program, and I am happy to have chosen Mr. Valko's firm to lead me through this journey. Thanks to Mr. Valko and his team, my case was a complete success and I am now a happy Permanent Resident. So if you are looking for a lawyer that's as invested in your case as you are, do not hesitate to hire this law firm, Chavez & Valko.

P1 visa - Martin Valko

My experience with Martin Valko was exceptional. I felt very comfortable from his initial communication with me, all the way through my visa extension process. I am a NFL cheerleader and our employment contracts are annual. With an upcoming I-94 expiration and a new contract, Mr. Valko was efficient ...and determined to be within the time frames. He and his team worked through the week with constant phone calls and emails, and completed the paperwork on the Saturday to be filed on time. With his great attention to detail on the application, USCIS approved the application within five business days! I would highly recommend Mr. Valko and his team of professionals.

Thumbs Up!

I went through my K-1 visa and process of adjustment of status with Martin Valko and his legal team. To say the least, hiring an immigration lawyer was 100% worth it, it saved us from so much stress and headache. More than that, it was extremely important to find a specialist that we could trust and ...rely on. And it's not even a financial matter, it is knowing that going through a process that is very important for us as a family and which we knew nothing about and felt like "blind kittens", there is someone who you can depend on and trust handling it professionally. That's why after having gone through all this I can say that I absolutely do recommend this legal team.

Outstanding Immigration Firm!

Outstanding Immigration Firm! Chavez and Valko has handled several of my H1-B petitions and most recently got my PERM Labor Certification approved. They have done an outstanding job in each of my cases but particularly in my PERM which used experience from my current employer for my new position whi...ch I understand is more difficult than normal PERM process. Mr. Valko and his team did a fantastic job advising my employer on how to handle the case correctly. They responded to an audit in the case from the Department of Labor, and a few months later, my PERM was certified. Also, my employer recently got acquired by a larger firm and that added another layer of difficulty to my case. In summary, Mr. Valko has done an excellent job in each of my cases and I strongly recommend him, the staff and his firm to anybody interested in immigration services. Excelente Firma de Abogados de inmigración! Chavez y Valko ha manejado varias de mis aplicaciones de H1-B y recientemente manejo mi aplicación de Labor Certification PERM. Hicieron un excelente trabajo en todos los casos pero especialmente en mi PERM ya que usaron experiencia adquirida con el empleador solicitando el PERM. Tengo entendido que esto es bastante difícil de realizar. El Sr. Valko y su equipo de trabajo hicieron un excelente trabajo dándonos su mejor opinión y guía. También, el Sr. Valko respondió a una auditoria del Department of Labor y recientemente mi caso fue aprobado. Además, mi compañía acaba de ser adquirida por otra compañía más grande. En conclusión, el Sr. Valko y su equipo hicieron un excelente trabajo y altamente recomiendo sus servicios!

Challenging case

My derivation of US citizenship case was rather unusual and difficult to fight. It involved reopening the government’s previous denial dated a decade ago. My lawyer Martin Valko came to the conclusion that immigration office applied wrong law in my case and decided to challenge their decision. The i...mmigration office took longer than anticipated but thanks for the professionally crafted petition, immigration had no grounds to reject my case or even request additional clarification and procrastination was only tool left for them to reciprocate. This victory reaffirmed my US citizenship, and I can move on with my life. Thanks, Martin!
