K-1 and Adjustment of Status

Sonia Ansari helped us with a K-1 (fiancee visa) and the adjustment of status. The K-1 was approved faster than what was expected at the time and without any problems. Same with the adjustment of status. It was approved without an interview, which is not uncommon when adjusting from a K-1 visa, but n...ot possible if all the paperwork is not correct and in order. Ms. Ansari is knowledgeable of the immigration process and I would recommend her as an immigration lawyer.

Marriage-based adjustment of status case

I must say, it was a great pleasure working with Mrs. Sonia Ansari. Dealing with immigration can be a stressful process. There are lots of paperwork to be turned in and signed. Thanks to Mrs.Sonia, my husband and I didnt have to worry about a thing. She informed us of all the information we needed to... supply her with. And you can pretty much say she took it from there. She made sure we had everything that was required before filing the case. If for any reason you cannot provide her with a certain document, she will gladly explore other revenues to help you. Everything was done in a timley manner. The only thing that can slow down the process is you. When we got to the interview, the officer had all of the documents needed to support our case. We did not have to worry about our documents being lost because Mrs.Sonia came through on her part. Throughout the process, my husband and I had alot of questions. She was always accepting of our questions with a prompt reply and was very helpful. I would recomend Mrs.Sonia Ansari to anyone who needs someone they can trust with their case and to come through in a timely manner.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
