I would not recommend

Paid Emilia upfront for my wife to get a visa. I would call to get an update and never would get a call back. Very Frustrating. I finally got a letter stating I was denied (Petitioner) and I needed a waiver to proceed. When I came in to discuss my case they wanted another $800.00 to proceed to get th...is "waiver". It is a one time chance to get this waiver and after doing some research and hearing what Emilia and her team were going to do. I decided it was in my best interest to hire another lawyer and glad I did. I called Emilia office staff a few times to see if I could get a partial refund since I paid in full, however, I never received a return phone call (not surprised).

upsetting

Im very happy this site has 4star reviews, i just wish i could say the same . I was very excited yet very nervous to start this journey for my husband for his legal status. We had a consultation, in which we understood everything while. Then we saw Nina who then helped us with all our forms . Ni...na filled out our forms sent out our forms and charged for her services .. everything was great nina seemed while educated in this and brought us comfort to this process. Then all went down the the toilet. As we received a letter requesting all information needed, we gathered our papers took them to nina so she can have them sent out . We then received a second letter stating our application was denied do to not receiving any information requested. This happened in 2013 called the firm right away spoke with nina she said she would call back waited a month called several times after never could get a hold of her . Im still waiting. Im so confused if our case wasn't one to be able to work with let me know before you take money from me . Im still working on getting my husbands legal status, just scared to trust any firm out there .

NOT recommended

In 2009 my husband was arrested and put into a immigration holding center in Florence, AZ. Emilia promised to help, but her lack of communication was very poor. I paid her a down payment of $1000 and she was supposed to keep good communication with me, so that we could figure out when the bond hear...ing was. That was not the case, I was doing most of the work on my own. Had I not called to find out what day his master calendar hearing was I would have missed it, because it was the following day . To my surprise when I showed up to the hearing in Florence, Emilia sent her sister in her behalf because she was away "vacationing". I was not notified of the change. When we sat down to present our case to the judge, her sister had all of the information mixed up with another case and gave false information to the judge. I was so frustrated I decided to hire another attorney Jose Bracamontes (which is EXCELLENT) . Not once was I offered an apology, explanation for the disorganization, or a follow up call to see if I had gone with another attorney. This was a nightmare, and thankfully things didn't end up worse!!! Save your money and headaches! Stay away from this attorney.

she is the lawyer you want on your side!!!

this laddy knows what she is doing would recommend to any one she has done an amazing job we got our residency in 2007 right before the law change in April we had our appointment with immigration on April the 8th and on the 28th of march she called us, that we needed to go in on the 29th that she had... change our appointment because if we waited for our original appointment we would lose our case, we walk out approve and in a wk we had our green cards. she works hard on your case,she is always inform on law changes grate customer service I thank you Emilia Bañuelos for your dedication and hard work we had been ripoff by other lawyer in the past and I know how hard is to find the one you can trust and know will work for you not just take your money, Well Emilia was the one for us, Im glad a friend recommended her to us, now I'm a US Citizen and Emilia was part of it again Thankyou.
