Impressive knowledge and work in Business Immigration

Our pharmaceutical company retained Kristin Knudson and her firm to assist us in immigrating our scientist and his family into the United States. We had previously worked with another larger firm who continuously gave us the run-around and essentially over-billed, pushed paper and did not get the jo...b done. We were frustrated and defeated and then were introduced to Kristin Knudson through her partner Eric Johnson. At that moment, everything changed for the better with respect to our ultimate goal of relocating our scientist to the US. Kristin met with us initially and gave us a number of different options to pursue to achieve our goal as well as a thorough explanation of the pros and cons of each type of action. From the get go, she and her firm took the time to ensure that we had a clear understanding of the process, the amount of time and commitment that would be required on all fronts to complete the process. She ultimately was able to achieve the granting of a successful EB2 and National Interest Waiver allowing our scientist and his family to immigrate to the United States which is critical to our future success as a company. I cannot give high enough accolades to convey the spectacular service we received from Kristin and her firm. Anyone thinking that they will get better service somewhere else is mistaken. She succeeded where a large global firm failed and for a fraction of the cost. Professional, compassionate, efficient and three words that I would use to describe Kristin's work. If you have any needs in the business immigration services space, definitely consider Kristin.

Very helpful and professional

Kristin helped with getting me my H3 visa. Due to the relatively complex nature of the visa, the documentation and procedures were slightly longer and more cumbersome. That being said Kristin simplified the process as much as was possible, for me. I was coordinating matters with her from overseas, an...d her responses to emails were always prompt, and she clarified any and all doubts I had. we even had a Skype session before my visa interview, prepping me for the sort of questions likely to be asked. It made a significant difference to have Kristin working with me on my case, and I would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for help with their non-immigration (or immigration) visas.
