Amazing attorney.

Attorney Ibarra guided me through my permanent residency process and I could not have chosen a better attorney. She is responsive, attentive, very knowledgeable and tries to always be available to answer any type of questions or concerns. My process was extremely fast and it was thanks to how profess...ional she is. I would recommend her to anyone with immigration issues in a heartbeat.

I hired Emma to legalize my wife’s Immigration status. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and would answer all the questions we had. I would recommend Emma to anyone looking for a good immigration lawyer. My wife and I are very grateful for all the hard work she did.

Adjustment of Status

My husband and I are very pleased with our attorney, Ms. Emma Ibarra. Ms. Ibarra is very knowledgeable, patient and understanding. Ms. Ibarra is very thorough and honest with every question we had. Went above and beyond to answer each of our questions and concerns. Ms. Ibarra team is wonderful and ve...ry helpful. My husband and I followed every step Ms. Ibarra recommended and it definitely paid off. With Ms. Ibarra’s guidance and recommendations, I’m now a lawful permanent resident. My application was sent of in April of 2017. My husband and I definitely recommend Attorney Emma Ibarra and her team for immigration assistance.

The Best Attorney I've Hired for My 16-Year-Long Case

I have been trying to get my green card for almost 16 years. When I came to Emma with my case, I was close to aging out and having to wait even longer. It almost seemed impossible that I would get an interview in such a short amount of time and then get approved before turning 21. But Emma dealt sedu...lously with my case and thoroughly read it until she knew exactly how to approach it. Emma took the time to find the best possible approach to my case and had me feeling confident in her work. Coming in, I was almost feeling helpless considering this would be the 4th lawyer that would try to help me, as the other ones hadn't done anything. Emma managed to expedite my case and get me set up for an interview in the quickest time I'd seen before. I got my case approved on my birthday and became a permanent resident thanks to her. I honestly wouldn't be able to say that had I used another lawyer. I am 100% glad I trusted Emma with my case. After years spent trying to get this fixed, and copious amount of money spent on bad lawyers, Emma was the shining beacon of hope for my case. I am eternally grateful for her services, and I would recommend her to anyone needing help in immigration cases. I thought I wouldn't be given my residency, but I did all thanks to Emma and her perseverance and dedication to the case. I cannot fully convey the gratitude I have towards her being able to get my case resolved.

My waivers got approved after been deported thanks to my lawyer Emma Ibarra

I was deported back to my country 7 years ago, at that time I hired a lawyer which never did anything to resolved my case but took my money. Anyhow I was recommended to Miss. Emma Léticia Ibarra and I thank God for placing her in my path. Miss. Ibarra and her staff where professional and kept me w...ell informed all the way along about my case. They guided me step by step, coach me and provided all the information I needed in order to win my case. Miss. Ibarra is one of the best immigration lawyers in Houston Texas, thanks to her and her staff my waivers got approved on August of this year (2015) and I just received my VISA one week ago (June 2015) I will be reuniting with my family this coming week and I can't thank enough Miss. Ibarra for been a such efficient lawyer, knowledgeable, responsible, professional and most important honest. I will recommend Miss. Ibarra to all my friends and family as one of the best immigration lawyers outhere. Thanks for everything you have done Emma, God bless you.
