A great advisor

Great experience working with him. His explanation about the status of my case was always very clear and his responses of every mail were always faster than average. He has a team that helps him with this process but is always copied and pending about the evolution of the case which made me secure. H...e answered every question that I had during the process and sent me copies of all the communications the same day that he received them.

Thank you Attorney Valko and team!

I work for a Fortune 500 company in the IT department and my employer had availed Attorney Valko and his immigration team for filing an AC-21 based on my pending I485 when I switched employers last year. From day one, Attorney Valko and his team (Shannon, Michelle and Berenice) were extremely profess...ional, with prompt follow-ups and patiently answering any/all questions I had at various times. The AC21 filing was very eloquent with the right level of detail and they promptly advised me once it was filed as well as once they received an acknowledgment from USCIS. Attorney Valko’ team also assisted me with our EAD/AP renewals earlier this year with diligent follow-through. And once our dates became current, they promptly followed up with USCIS on pending case status and kept me advised on the same until the cases were approved and we had received our green cards. I truly appreciate all their time, help, support and guidance throughout the process, not to mention, being available to respond to customer queries at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending Attorney Valko and his law firm to anyone who is looking for immigration assistance. - Srinath R., Plano, TX

Thank you Chavez & Valko

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

Green Card Champions - Chavez & Valko!!

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.

Thanks Martin

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.
