It takes a long time to nurture and work towards a dream and a few minutes to shatter. This is pretty much what happened in my case. I grew up with a dream of settling down in this wonderful country as a young child and I pursued this dream further with my application of employment based green car...d. I ensured that all my I’s were dotted and T’s crossed when I switched employments and still was rewarded by an undated letter from immigration services stating that my application was denied. It was god’s blessing that I heard of Mr. Valko and his firm from a friend of mine. To say they were my knights in shining armor would be an understatement. The team was very patient with my persistent (and sometime repeated) emails and usually responded within a couple of hours of my query. With a lot of free advices that I was receiving from friends and colleagues on how I should be leaving the country asap, Mr. Valko helped me understand on how this would be a terrible waste of resources. He was always a step ahead on this game and knew the when, why and how in my situation. He not only made USCIS reverse their decision, but he also made them apologize. There is no other person or firm I would ever turn to in an event of need and their professionalism is something I aspire to emulate.

Martin Valko and his team made the immigration process, which is a complicated, tedius and often frustrating process, a simple one for my client. He was thorough in his explanation of what the law stated, what was required from the employee and the employer and patient and reassuring while we follow...ed the process.

We would like to thank Mr. Valko and his paralegal, Jessica for their help and hard work. My husband is from Mexico and has been here since he was eight years old. Originally, we contacted Mr. Valko's office to help my husband get a visa. In the meantime, the new Deferred Action came out and Mr. Valk...o suggested that we go this route since it appeared that my husband met the criteria. Immigration received my husband's application for Deferred Action in September 2012, he went to his biometrics appointment in mid-October 2012, received an approval notification in mid-November 2012 and three days letter received his work permit in the mail. Now, he has his Social Security card and driver license. No more worries that my husband will go to work one day and not return home because he was picked up by immigration. Again, we are so thankful and appreciative for the great work Mr. Valko and Jessica have done for us. They always return your call or email very quickly and you don't always get that kind of service from attorney's offices. Mr. Valko exuded confidence in our case and his expertise and that in turn eased our minds a great deal. We felt like we were treated as human beings by people who cared about our situation. There is still more to do and we will stay with Mr. Valko because we can trust him. If he can help you, then he will. If he cannot help you, he will be honest and tell you so. If you have any immigration issues, this is the office to go to. We have recommended Mr. Valko to other family, our friends and strangers that we have heard are in need of immigration assistance.

With this testimonial I would like to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude towards Mr. Martin Valko, his paralegal Jessica and all the supporting staff at the Chavez and Valko Immigration Law Firm for their wonderful service, professionalism and support in handling my case and getting me a s...uccessful approval. I was a conditional permanent resident whose marriage had ended in a divorce. In order to retain my permanent residency status I had to file I-751 with a waiver for good faith marriage. I had consulted a handful of attorneys first before meeting with Mr. Valko. The first consultation with him made me feel very comfortable to work with him on my case. He was very knowledgeable about the laws related to my situation, what evidence can be presented, and fairly confident in a potential successful approval. Mr. Valko and Jessica guided me with ease, comfort and efficiency through the whole process. They assisted me with preparing my sworn affidavit, and their professionalism, knowledge, care, dedication and attention given to my case are very much appreciated. They were always available to answer any questions, to help with my evidence gathering. I had great experience working with Mr. Valko and his immigration team. I am very glad to have chosen Mr. Valko to represent me. After consulting with some of the highly rated attorneys in town before meeting him, I definitely will be recommending him for any immigration legal services from here on.

We hired Mr. Valko's firm to help us with our citizenship application. It gave us great peace of mind knowing that we had someone familiar with the process to help us fill out the applications properly. They answered all our questions and were very prompt in getting the process done. We had heard ho...rror stories where it had taken years for others to get through this process, but it took between 3-4 months from the time we initially met with Mr Valko's firm to the time we were sworn in at the oath ceremony. We are very happy with the services they provided and highly recommend them to others. Thanks Derek & Tamara
