Ana Maria Schwartz

My wife had a very complicated case which involved an I-601 waiver for illegal presence, an Adjustment of Status and a FOIA request, among other things. We have had some issues with other lawyers in the past, so after doing some diligent research we heard great things about Ana and decided to go wit...h her. We could not have made a better decision!! I was immediately impressed after our initial phone consultation. Ana is very personable, understanding, and knowledgeable. She was able to answer all of my questions with confidence, despite the complicated nature of our case. Other “immigration” lawyers we spoke with didn’t know the answers to half of my questions and said they would get back with us and never did. Some of the other lawyers that we have had in the past wouldn’t even speak with us on the phone or return our phone calls even after we paid them thousands of dollars. Ana is always a phone call or e-mail away and always responds in a timely manner and in person. We live in Florida and she is in Texas and everything went just as smoothly as if we were right there in Austin. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ana for anyone in need of immigration assistance! Ana truly has a passion for her work and it shows! She really enjoys helping others successfully navigate through the very complicated immigration process. She put in 110% effort and went above and beyond to take a personal interest into our case which led to my wife’s approval. We could have never done this process without her! Thanks to Ana, my family is safely together and my wife is now a permanent resident of the United States! She is truly a Godsend...Thanks Ana!!

When we needed to change my wife's status, we looked at all the forms from INS and had no idea where to begin. We found Ana Maria through the Texas Lawyer Referral Network, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. She was always available to answer any question we had via phone or e-mail. She... really simplified the process of gathering all the information we needed to fill out the paperwork. Best of all was the interview prep she gave us two weeks before our interview. She knows the process so well, and described it for us in such detail that, when we got to the interview, there were no surprises. Everything went exactly as she said it would. If you need an experienced, friendly, helpful immigration attorney, give Ana Maria a call.

I came to the US as an F1 student and found the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. So, I had to change my status to Permanent Resident (Green Card). I had read on all sites and forums about why you should get an attorney even if you thought your case was pretty easy; ours was. I e...mailed a few attorneys before I found Ana Maria Schwartz. From the first email I knew she will be the one to help us get things done. She was very helpful, knowledgeable, patient (I tend to ask tons of questions). Her advice and help on filling out the papers is a big part of what helped us get the green card. I ended up moving from Austin and she still helped me, she made calls, change my address, submitted papers several times, met with us twice on Saturday!!. If anyone needs an Immigration Attorney use Ana Maria even if you are not in Austin.

My husband and I met with Ana Maria Schwartz after doing much research on our on and several consultations with other lawyers. We were pleasantly surprised to see how warm and welcoming she was compared to what we had already seen. She informed us of a way to file for residency in a way we had not be...en told of before or found through our own research. Our entire process took only 4 months from start to finish and was seamless. Ana Maria was in constant communication with us and walked us through every step of the process. She was always upfront, straight forward and on top of every minute detail throughout the entire process. We feel that Ana Maria truly made this process less stressful than it could have been. We appreciate her flexibility to meet with us during non office hours and allowing us to bring our infant son along with us. During our interview she even went above and beyond her call of duty and helped us out with the baby so we could concentrate on our interview. We would recommend her over and over to anyone needing help with immigration. Ana Maria was always fast to return calls and emails, she would update us before we even had a chance to ask what was next and she never tired of our questions. We never imagined the immigration process would be completed with such reassurance and confidence but Ana Maria made it that way for us. We will never forget her and everything she has done for us! We can now relax and enjoy our lives thanks to her assistance! Giancarlo & Amber May 2009

Ana was definitely very helpful on our immigration process. We had a very simple case and just expected to find a lawyer to help us fill out the forms to make sure we don't mess it up. Ana did that for us and more, she let us know the whole process and the time line for when we should expect certai...n action, gave us reminders of what needs to be done next when the time comes, and even met with us many times for simple questions and a mock-interview. My spouse and I definitely feel she went above and beyond what the contract had dictated. She also met us any time we wanted to, such as late afternoons on Saturdays since we have to work on weekdays, and doing so with a smile still! She was very responsive, one time we emailed her when she was out of country, but she responded very promptly letting us know the situations and allowing us to see her soon as she was back..
