Ms. Pauline helped file my Advanced parole application as well as Adjustment of status- marriage based. She is very knowledgeable in immigration law and was always there to answer any question or concern I had. My husband and I are very happy with her service and for making this process so smooth. We got our interview waived and case was approved 3 days after medical exam was received. We are so grateful to have found Ms. Pauline to guide us through this process.
Consulted for marriage based greencard. Pauline was very professional, courteous, and easy to work with. I did an initial review of lawyers before selecting her. Selected her based on breadth of knowledge and practicality concerning immigration law, and her experience reflects through in her advice. Just had some misunderstanding with the legal plan terms of service, but we resolved that. Highly recommended.

Very Thankful
She was able to guide us to get my husband's green card renewed when USCIS was asking for more evidence and I had no idea what to send them. So thankful when we got the approval weeks after the evidence arrived and didn't have to interview again.

Immigration process
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
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.

Rather, frank advice that loosened the knot on my immigration applications with follow up calls up until my families arrival. Professional, personal service.

A compassionate Attorney
Buihe Pauline Okenu is a highly experienced and compassionate Attorney who worked so hard to get my brother's immigration case resolved in a timely manner. She is so knowledgeable in the elements of the law that she identified the exact legal route to follow, so diligent and thorough in the application process, and followed it up until it was completely adjudicated, and to our pleasant surprise, in my brother's favor. We are so grateful for the awesome work she did, and how she treated us with the uttermost respect and confidentiality. We will not only hire her again, but will definitely recommend her legal services to family and friends.

Client Testimony
My wife and I have known and worked with Attorney Buihe Okenu for almost 3 years now and have nothing but the utmost respect for her and her firm. We have have crossed and overcome so many obstacles within the immigration process and all to the credit of Attorney Okenu since we could have never done it without her. We started with my wife simply needing to change her status of residence in the US and apply for her Green Card within a short amount of time limited by her visa. We really didn't know what we were in for so we needed to find a lawyer fast to make sure we were doing everything correctly. Lucky for us we found Attorney Buihe Okenu who was quick and extremely up to date with the procedures and proceedings that were needed. It really does show when someone takes pride in their profession and understands their job at such a high level and that we are always grateful for meeting her.
With the wait times being our only enemy for the immigration process, Attorney Okenu was always in contact with us asking for updates and educating us in detail of what is required or what to expect next and sure enough, it all unraveled like she mentioned and we were most impressed with the results. Other lawyers that we asked before Okenu Law wanted consultation funds before information was even exchanged. Now, I realize that is how it is done in a lot of firms but another thing that makes Okenu Law so unique is that they provide a product before such dealings and for a fair amount as well. We never once felt like we were being taken advantage of and we always felt more than comfortable the whole time we have been working with Attorney Okenu.
After the green card success, we also needed our daughter to get her visa and eventually live with us in the US since she had been living with her grandparents for most of her childhood years at the time overseas. That is a grueling process and crazy amount of work to get an immigrant visa finalized for anyone that has needed to undergo such an ordeal. Again, every question we had was met with extremely accurate information which was helpful as well as crucial to our paperwork needs. I think the best part about our whole relationship as a client to our attorney was the quick turn around for every response whether it was via email or a call to the office. We never waited at all to hear from our lawyer even though we were living almost 5,000 miles away! With the help of Attorney Buihe Okenu, my wife and I have finally reunited with our daughter and that in itself makes us extremely grateful for and forever indebted to her. We feel like she is more than just "our Attorney" but also a friend who cares and a good one at that. Thank you again Buihe.
