Excellent professional

Mrs. Gasana manage my NIW application. From the beginning she was very honest about the process and what to expect. She helped me through the entire process and I must say it was a blessing working with her. She explained me every detail very patiently and bared with me when I got any inconvenience o...r I got impatient. She is very knowledgeable on the immigration laws and keeps up to date with any change that may be presented to the system. I will highly recommend her, and most likely use her, for any other endeavor related to immigration processes.

Finally and attorney with heart

I wouldn't have space to retell the whole story of my VISA process, but to give you some specifics, after hiring another attorney, paying him upfront (he didn't move a finger until he got his paycheck), with a scope he gave us of 2-3 moths to get my VISA (in January), he delayed us over and over, kep...t asking for more and more information until a point where he was asking again for stuff he already had... pushing us back and back in time, with no hope in filing for my VISA ever. We had to resign to the idea that it was going to happen after 6 or so months. After hiring Claudine's attorneys bureau everything went finally smooth. She was extremely diligent, only took a couple of days to review things and get back to us, and it seemed she had pretty clear what we needed and what else was missing. She filed my VISA application in less than a month and finally, I have my approval! With her, every milestone I expected... came earlier than I planned. We came to this bureau because of the good reviews and, it seems it paid to trust them. Thank you very much to Claudine and Ruby Powers' bureau. I think they do understand the feeling of a person holding in this VISA process and they care!
