Smooth Experience

Please note that all cases are unique and my experience will not apply fully to yours. I hired INLG and had my marriage based Green Card approved in less than 10 weeks. Overall, the INLG team were responsive and knew 'how it really worked'. I would absolutely recommend hiring a lawyer for eve...n a 'simple' marriage based green card case because of the unique complexities of the US system coupled with the dynamic changes from this administration. There's no replacement for experience and - although ultimately you must own responsibility for managing your immigration - having a knowledgeable advocate can be invaluable particularly when unexpected situations arise. Thankfully in my case, things could not have been more smooth and having a GC is an invaluable peace of mind over other time-limited immigration statuses.

Green Card

Bruna Frota and her team made a tremendous difference in our family’s life. With just seven months before my son turned 21, Bruna thoroughly studied our case and suggested that my husband apply for the EB1-A category, including us as his dependents. On June 8, 2024, the case was submitted to USCIS... through the Premium Processing option, and by June 20, we had already received the I-140 approval notice. Wow — our son was included in the process! Bruna and her team then swiftly prepared and filed our I-485 applications, including all medical exams, in early August. Thanks to their efficiency, my son — a college student in Texas — received his work permit and Social Security number just weeks later. With those in hand, he was selected for an internship at an excellent company. On May 17, 2025, we received our I-485 approval notices, and within two weeks, we had our Green Cards in hand. Now, at the end of his 21st year, our son is graduating from college and preparing to work for his dream company. Meanwhile, my husband and I are thrilled to continue living and working in the place we love — Colorado — close to our son. Bruna’s ability to listen carefully, combined with her deep knowledge, experience, and sense of urgency, led to this extraordinary outcome in such a short time. I remember telling her to ask God to guide her in our case — and just days later, she proposed the EB1-A solution. Those who work with faith and integrity, guided by the Greater Father, are bound to deliver outstanding results. Thank you, Bruna, and heartfelt thanks to your entire team!

Excellent!!!

The best lawyer and team of immigration I have ever seen! They know how to do all the steps, patient to explain all the doubts and good in what they’re doing, that’s why I got successful on my case in less time than expected!

Awesome

Choosing INLG was the best choice I made! I hired Bruna after filing my case with another lawyer and having the case rejected due to absurd errors. Bruna gave me clear guidance and a lot of reassurance. I can't describe the difference in competence and organization at each stage. My Green Card was ap...proved much sooner than I could have imagined. The entire team is highly qualified and helpful. Giovanna and Victoria are wonderful and were always available to answer my questions and concerns. I am immensely grateful to Bruna and her team for their excellent service.

Success - EB2 NIW

I recently had the distinct pleasure of engaging with the INLG Law firm, specifically Attorney Bruna Frota, following some challenges I faced with a previous attorney during my EB-2 NIW Green Card application. Right from the outset, Attorney Bruna and her dedicated team stood out with their unparalle...led professionalism and expertise. Early on, we navigated a series of complex decisions tailored to my unique profile. From our very first interaction, I found solace in their reassuring guidance. Throughout our subsequent meetings, what struck me the most was their meticulous attention to detail, unwavering politeness, exceptional competence, and commendable efficiency. The team's outstanding communication skills significantly alleviated the inherent stresses of the process, ensuring that every query I had was addressed promptly. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly commend the INLG Law firm and wish them continued success. Their exemplary service is truly deserving of every accolade.
