Change of Status to Student F-1

After several American lawyers kept rescheduling my consultation, which made me lose two weeks, I found the recommendations for this great Brazilian professional. Because of my urgency, she met with me the next day via Skype, since I am in San Diego. Previous to our consultation, she read the docu...mentation sent by me via email and in 45 minutes understood all my case. She quickly pointed out the errors that had been made in my F-1 Student Visa case, by the Language School in which I was enrolled. She clarified all my doubts and showed me all the alternatives for my case, based on her extensive experience with such cases. She helped me find the best solution. Besides being strong, effective and extremely knowledgeable, Gisele is very compassionate of her clients. DO NOT attempt to go through immigration processes without a lawyer. I regret not having met Gisele at the beginning, because it would have saved months in the process, as well as government fees for correction of my case. I recommend her, highly !!! ***I have to write it in portuguese too, because I know I can help a lot of Brazilians with this review. Depois de várias remarcações com advogados americanos que me fizeram perder 2 semanas e não me atenderam. Encontrei as recomendações dessa ótima profissional brasileira. Devido à minha urgência, ela conseguiu me atender no dia seguinte via Skype, pois estou em San Diego,CA. Previamente, leu a documentação que enviei por email e em 45 minutos entendeu todo meu caso. Ela rapidamente apontou os erros da escola de idiomas no meu caso de visto de estudante F-1. Esclareceu todas as minhas dúvidas e me apresentou todas as alternativas com base em sua larga experiência nesses tipos de casos. Ela me ajudou a encontrar a melhor solução. Além de eficaz,eficiente e extremamente experiente, a Gisele é muito humana com o cliente. NÃO tente fazer um processo com a im imigração sem um advogado. Me arrependo de não ter encontrado a Gisele logo no início, pois me pouparia meses no processo, bem como taxas do governo para correção do meu caso. Eu recomendo-a fortemente!!!

The Best Lawyer !!

I’m really grateful for the outstanding service I got from Gisele Ambrosio. She is extremely knowledgeable. My immigration case was very complex and tough. I couldn't have done this without her. She was like an angel in my life on the last 2 years. She is a winner !!

Best Lawyer I have ever had!

Gisele Ambrosio represented my husband and I when we decided to apply for my green card. We had been married for less than a year. Mrs. Ambrosio's office was always fast and objective regarding the processing and the requesting of documents. The whole case went surprisingly fast, I must admit I was ...expecting these immigration matters to take a very long time to resolve. It took 4 months and 15 days between receiving the initial receipt in the mail and me obtaining the permanent residency. Since Mrs. Ambrosio made sure all the documents and forms were perfect, the interview went fast and with no issues! Mrs. Ambrosio practiced prepared us for the interview and it made me feel secure. I recomend Mrs. Ambrosio not only because she is very professional and an expert, but also because she is very kind, honest and care about her clients very much!

One word: Competence!

Despite the fact Gisele is a good friend of mine, she is a successful professional and I couldn't be happier with the results I got from her services. My husband and I got married Valentine's Day 2014 in New Jersey, and our process with immigration couldn't have been easier to deal with. She knows wh...at she's doing, and she knows how to express herself in a simple way that we clients can easily understand. Gisele and her team (even though they were in Los Angeles) were always there to help us with our many questions and doubts. Also, as a gay couple, we couldn't be more satisfied with her excellent, respectable work. Thank you my dear Gisele for all the support, and for sharing with us (Craig and I) this joyous moment in our lives.

Amazing professional

Mrs. Gisele Ambrosio represented my husband and I when we decided to apply for my green card. By that point we had been married for less than a year. Mrs. Ambrosio's office was always fast and objective regarding the processing and the requesting of documents. It took more time for my husband and I ...to gather all the proofs regarding our marriage than it took for the whole case to be done. It went surprisingly fast, I must admit I was expecting these immigration matters to take a very long time to resolve. It took 4 months and 15 days between receiving a I-485 receipt in the mail and me obtaining permanent residency (got it by the end of september 2014). Since Mrs. Ambrosio made sure all the documents and forms were set, the interview went fast and with no issues. Mrs. Ambrosio practiced the interview with us in person a week before it took place and it made me feel secure. I recomend Mrs. Ambrosio not only because she is very professional but also because she is very kind and care about her clients.
