Knowledgeable and empathetic
Ana helped me with my family reunification process through an overseas embassy, it was a long process but she was there every step of the way supporting us. I felt more than prepared for my consular interview and everything went smoothly and I got the green card approved.
Thank you so much for this lovely review! We work hard on our immigration cases, even when the process take years from start to finish. Consular processing can be particularly challenging due to the constant changes that everyone is just expected to keep up with. We are so happy that everything went well and hope you are settling into your new home now.

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...

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!

Made the impossible happen! Best immigration lawyer you can find!
I had a very complex immigration case that had so many mistakes from myself and other lawyers I previously had. I had my entire case canceled because I had to travel and was not supposed to. I gave up completely and was ready to move back where I am from before I met Ana Maria. First of all, Ana Mari...
