Successful EB2-NIW Petition

Excellent Experience!! Choosing Bruna and the INLG team was absolutely the best decision I made on my US Legal Permanent Resident quest. On hearing I was interested in US EB2-NIW, a colleague recommended I speak with Bruna as he knew a colleague with similar condition as I (Nigerian, living and... working in the Oil & Gas industry in Nigeria), that Bruna had successfully guided through the process. Boy! I was sceptical, particularly as I had earlier reached out to another relatively successful and popular immigration attorney in the US, who told me my chances of getting an EB2-NIW petition approved was slim to non-existent. I shared my CV with Bruna’s team, who thought I stood a chance and progressed me to speak with Bruna who confirmed that whilst she may be unable to assure me with certainty, it was her opinion that I stood a very good chance. I had some hope but was still a bit sceptical. The reviews on Avvo and google were however so impressive, I chose to take the leap and I am here to encourage someone else to take the leap as I did. I felt truly supported through the journey, with Bruna and her very team. They guided me through the process, ensuring I had a clear understanding of the end-to-end petition process and what evidence I needed to provide, if available, to get a favourable outcome. The entire team demonstrated good understanding of USCIS requirements/ immigration law, and where readily available to provide accurate, clear, and prompt responses to emails, calls and WhatsApp messages. All the team members were excellent, I however like to specially appreciate Paralegal Luisa de Oliveira, who was absolutely amazing through the process and very patient with my many questions. She was friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable. Bruna’s attention to detail in preparing of my petition just left me wowed to say the least. She left no stone unturned, in elucidating the merits of my case for USCIS to see reason. My confidence in a positive outcome shot-up when I reviewed the petition prepared for me and was confident, I did my best and had the right team to succeed. So, any contrary outcome would have just been a matter of fate in my view. Thanks to all the work the team put in, my EB2-NIW petition was APPROVED, and within a record time of four days after requesting priority processing. I have now embarked on the consular processing journey and trust my immigrant visa would also go through successfully with this super team backing me. I unreservedly recommend Bruna Frota/ INLG team for any USA immigration requirements. The outstanding breadth of knowledge on immigration law, exceptional communication skills, personalised nature of their service, and attention to detail absolutely distinguish them from the rest. Thank you Bruna & INLG team!

Always there for you

Bruna and her team were stellar, and we would not be where we are today if we didn't have them in our corner. They provided a comprehensive list of what we needed, provided perspective on current events and how they would affect our application process, and were available at all times to answer any q...uestions that we had. Thank you so much for everything!

I highly recommend Dr Bruna and her team, I don't know a better and more reliable professional like her in the United States.

Best immigration lawyer ever

I was introduced to Bruna as the best immigration lawyer one could hire. The integrity, professionalism and knowledge she and her team have are incredible. She successfully helped me get my EB1-A visa. Hiring a lawyer is difficult because we will only be sure of the results in the end of the process.... Therefore, one should definitely hire his firm. Strongly recommend.
