F1 Visa Assistance

My case was pretty complicated regarding US visa. I already had an F1 Visa and needed to get a new F1 Visa for other university, since my SEVIS was terminated. Jeffery really helped me through this process. I just consulted him regarding how should I prepare for my VISA interview and what should be m...y answers regarding my SEVIS termination. Jeffery helped me understand how this has to be done and how to tackle the VO's questions. Also gave his advice regarding documentation and other stuffs. Really good experience for me!!!!!!

N400 Application RFE

I went to the interview by myself because the attorney I hired when I filed my application did not care enough to help me gather all the documents I needed for my interview. I had an arrest back in 2003 so I was asked to provide documentation in order for USCI to make a decision on my case,I consulte...d other attorneys that were no help at all, I was about to give up,I was frustrated that no one seemed to want to help, I posted a question on Avvo and of all the attorney's who answered my question Jeff's answer made a lot of sense, so I decided to hired him and have him look at my case, He is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He guided me through the process and took time to answer all my questions, Thanks to Jeff my application has been approved and I will be attending the Oath Ceremony very soon. I will highly recommend Jeff to anybody that is looking for a professional and responsible attorney.

Responsive, knowledgeable and friendy

Jeffrey Kimark is very approachable, friendly and knowledgeable. I had called Mr. Kilmark's office earlier today while I was looking for an immigration lawyer. He was in a meeting and his assistant directed to me his voice mail number. I left him a message, not being sure if he would respond immedia...tely. But he promptly returned my call within the hour . I told him that I was in the process for applying for an adjustment of status, having got recently married to an US citizen. Mr Kilmak was extremely helpful in giving me an overview of the process and explaining the different steps involved. He also gave me a good idea of the hurdles involved. To take the process forward, I would definitely consider him ahead of other lawyers both for his professionalism as well as his friendliness and knowledge of the differed steps involved in the immigration process.
