Notice of intent to revocation

Arek is my first professional contact while my immigration process to US. From 5 years of my experience of work with him I can tell you that he is a unique source of immigration field. Not only his knowledge is a satisfaction of work with him but also he is very prompt to your request, greatly respon...sive, exactly trustworthy. I had an H1b with Arek and it was a very smooth transmission of tourist to work authorization. My last case that he worked was on possible revocation on my H1 B. After two years of my approval, immigration sent a notice of intent to revocation to my case. As a result of hard work of Arek, the case dismissed, and they grant me a new I94 with approval notice. He prepared an awesome response, and saved me from an unfortunate revocation. I highly recommend him for all kind of immigration case, Thanks Arek..

J1 Waiver - F1 & H1B Visa

Everything went well with him. I highly recommend him because he is responsive and inform you constantly during the process. I had a J1 Visa I had to waive to apply for H1B since the host company wanted me to stay. He helped me waive J1 and get an H1B.
