Don't waste your time or money on her

This lady has no knowledge of the legal system. It took me almost two years gathering information she requested, spending money I didn't have on things such as office space, legalization of my company, hiring public accountants and other corporation lawyers only to finally be told that it would be im...possible for me to obtain my E2 business visa. She informed me after two years of deliberations only FOUR working days before my I-94 permit expired. The whole time I felt poorly represented by a person with little to no experience of immigration law, but felt compelled to continue working with her due to the fact that she seemed to be my only option at the time. You can only imagine how hard it is to have to hire a lawyer simply to start a business in a new country. I wasted two years of my life and over $5,000 of my hard earned money on this matter. She felt so badly about handling my case so poorly that she refunded $2,000 of this money. However, this didn't even come close to covering all the expenses I incurred obtaining information that she requested. She always seemed to be distracted and confused by other cases, vacations and family emergencies. Furthermore, it was always very hard to reach her by phone. Think twice before hiring this person. And do not let her rates fool you, it will cost you more at the end.

Adjustment of status "Green card"

I found myself in need of hiring an immigration lawyer to help assess my case. Good thing I found Vi, she is very professional and at the same time I got a personal service. She was calm, patient and extremely attentive and responsive all the time. My wife and I bombarded her with questions and she a...lways remained professional and took great care to ensure that my queries were answered. Whether it was through a quick email or a phone call, Vi was always available and prompt whenever I needed her. She was there to answer all my legal questions, or just to assure me that things were in order. And the other thing that we really appreciated was her payment plan, specially in this economy that was definitely a big help. She took care of everything and made all the process fairly easy and painless, I got my documents in less time that I had expected, less than 4 months. I really recommend her as an Immigration attorney.
