From a Student VISA to a US Citizenship
I'm writing this review to give the highest recommendation to Ana Maria Schwartz. I hired her at a time of very little immigration options with regards to extending my stay in the United States. She provided me with all the necessary information I needed to go from being a student with an OPT to gett...
I just had to reach out and say a big thank you for the super positive review you left about our journey together, from a student visa all the way to becoming a citizen. Your kind words have put the biggest smile on my face! I know it was a tough and complicated case, but your trust in me and your spouse's determination made it all worthwhile. I'm so proud to have been a part of your immigration process. Congratulations on becoming a citizen, Shina! You rocked it, and I'm so glad we made it happen together!

Don't make the mistake of paying her up front. She will...
