I want to take this opportunity to thank our Lawyer Pauline for representing us in our case to remove my conditional status in my green card, she did an amazing work making sure we had all the paperwork we needed, reviewing very carefully and detailed all documents, she catch some mistakes on our documents before she submitted our petition to remove the conditional status on our green card and thanks to her efforts and dedication we were able to obtain our permanent residency. We are very happy with her services and we highly recommend her services. Gracias Pauline!!!!

Immigration process

Posted by

I just completed the process for the I-130 , I-765 and I-485. Pauline was of great help, always available and always eager to service with her suggestions and comments. She always had a positive attitude. I appreciate all she did to support me thru this process which can be stressful and overwhelming at times. Pauline was very direct, knowledgable and consistent from the start of my process. I highly recommend Pauline Okenu.

Immigration status consultation

Posted by

I consulted the lawyer for advise on extension of visa and change of status for a relation. Her step by step instruction and honest guidance was very helpful with the filing and obtaining visa extension approval. The lawyer was highly knowledgeable and honest in explaining what is possible, unpredictable, and difficult to achieve. She was very prompt in returning my calls if she did not pick immediately and listens to my concerns before providing all the options. I highly recommend her to any one who needs a knowledgeable and dedicated immigration lawyer.

When I started the immigrational process for my husband I had no clue what I was doing but I remembered she assisted my dad when he wanted to renew his green card so I contacted her. She is very patient and willing to help. She answered all my questions. I would recommed her to anyone.

Timothy Klob, Immigration Attorney on Jan 15, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse Attorney Okenu and her work in providing assistance to clients with immigration and bankruptcy issues. I have found Attorney Okenu to be extremely responsive to requests for assistance with issues faced by my disability clients in immigration and consumer law issues that are beyond the scope of my practice, and her willingness to consult my clients and their needs in these areas has been invaluable. For these reasons, I endorse Buihe in her work and will continue to refer my clients to her for assistance with immigration and other related legal issues in her core areas of practice.
