How Sheridan Green Ended My 5-Year Green Card Battle Over Misrepresentation

My green card case had been obstructed for over five years due to an error in the initial application, which led USCIS to issue a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) for misrepresentation. During that time, no lawyer gave me clear guidance or helped me weigh the risks and benefits of my options. Then I... met Sheridan Green. In our first consultation, he spent nearly two hours carefully reviewing every detail of my case and outlining all possible paths forward. Unlike my previous lawyers, he explained the process thoroughly and gave me the confidence to make informed decisions. Sheridan’s proactive approach made all the difference. He personally communicated with the Chicago field office and resolved the issue that had stalled my case for years —all without filing a mandamus lawsuit, which every other lawyer told me was the only path forward.” I am deeply grateful for Sheridan’s knowledge, persistence, and compassion. He restored my trust in the legal process, and I highly recommend him to anyone facing complex immigration issues.

EB1 Application journey with Sheridan

I contacted Sheridan regarding my EB1 application. Previous consultations with other attorneys had left me disheartened, as they deemed my case weak. However, after discussing my situation with Sheridan, he provided valuable insights on improving my case's strength and outlined my chances realistical...ly. With a goal of wrapping up the case within three months, Sheridan and his team proved remarkably responsive and knowledgeable, promptly addressing my queries. True to our aim, we submitted within the timeframe, and remarkably, my case was concluded in under four months. I wholeheartedly endorse Sheridan and his services.

Excellent Immigration Attorney

Sheridan is a very hardworking attorney who always wants the best for his clients. I presented my case to him for an EB1A extra ordinary petition. He carefully reviewed my case and got back to me with his suggestions that I should spend more time to improve my profile for a better chance of an approv...al. He also made suggestions on areas that I needed to improve my case. I did just that and after about 8 months I went back to him. After reviewing my case again, sure enough he decided to take it up. He was very prompt and approachable, and our discussions were through emails, phone calls and video conferencing. I have received emails from him after hours, weekends and late nights and that tells you how committed he is to his clients. After a thorough review, he drafted a plan for me and we built our case around his plan. He was great with helping with all the reference letters and picking which reference added more value to my case. We were able to get an approval in my case and I am very grateful to Sheridan and his team for their efforts. If he decides to take your case, you can expect great quality of work. He is an intelligent, honest and trustworthy immigration attorney.

The best immigration lawyer here in the US!

Sheridan Greene”s firm was introduced to us by one of our friends. Myself and my husband contacted Sheridan to explore option on self petition of EB1. Sheridan was super thorough in explaining what mandates are needed for a self petitioned EB1 category. Absolutely no frills and he was very upfront in... explaining the consequences if the mandated points for EB1 are not applicable in anyone’s case. His assistant during that time was an intern who was also thorough in this process and he explored our case on how many points would be supportive to submit our case for EB1. Both Sheridan and his assistant dug our case deep through and were extremely thorough in pulling out the mandated features from our case. In each and every step of the process, Sheridan and his team always guided us properly and also kept us informed on what would be the outcome if the case went south or if the case went positive. Sheridan is such an amazing attorney who would not give u false hopes for money. He is totally true and honest to his business, to one”s investment and to the law. We got initial RFE when we submitted our case to which Sheridan helped us with appropriate response. We even again got RFE to submit birth certificate and medical records. Again Sheridan helped us in filing those documents much ahead of time and he kept us prepared that there may be good chance that such RFEs would pop in. There was absolutely zero delay in any of the steps he handled and may it be week day or weekend, he was always available for us to answer to our questions even if our questions sounded silly . His perfect guidance in each and every step of our EB1 process (me as primary and my husband”s existing petition was moved under my case) made our one year journey from cradle to heaven so smooth. Every immigrant’s dream in this nation is the same but not every immigrant has the right opportunity, right contact, right credentials or right timing to fulfill the dream to being converted from an immigrant status to a GC holder status. Sheridan and his team made it possible for us. We can’t thank him enough for his support and service to us and to many more people who sail in the same boat like us. If you ever need an immigration attorney for your case, please contact Sheridan and you will be guided well. Thank you Sheridan and million thanks to you and to your team.

"I recommend Sheridan without reservation. Sheridan does things the right way - he's honest, diligent, and hard-working. Immigration law is very complex, especially in the world of immigration appeals. I have referred numerous happy clients to Sheridan for matters I feel he is much better at handling and all have been extremely happy with him. Sheridan is one of the best legal writers I know and he remains my go-to lawyer for any appellate work. I highly recommend Sheridan."

"Sheridan Green is a tireless advocate for alien rights who puts the client first. He is a knowledgeable, meticulous individual whose grasp of immigration law encompasses practice in the Supreme Court, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, Immigration Courts, and before Customs and Immigration Services. His landmark Supreme Court brief in Mata v. Lynch cemented an alien’s right to appeal a motion to reopen rejected by the BIA in a court of appeals. He has successfully appealed many cases to the Fifth Circuit on behalf of his clients. In addition to his work with motions and appeals, Mr. Green is well versed in the practical aspects of obtaining, sustaining, and modifying business, student, and family visas. He has assisted many students, athletes, and other special immigrants in their quests to obtain the necessary visas to pursue their goals. Mr. Green is accessible, and his level of professionalism and dedication to his work are beyond expectation."
