Easy Process

Hands down the easiest process ever undertaken with the assistance of Marla. I was so very nervous about not having all of my proper documentation and paperwork in order. Marla presented me with a concise and realistic list of info required to present the best possible case for my L1A application. ...The entire process from retaining her to actually being granted L1A status was under 30 days. Fast, efficient and thoroughly knowledgable in her profession. And the best part - she was available to speak / consult when I needed her. I will absolutely be utilizing her services again

Immigration from Canada to the USA

I am so thankful I was directed to Marla Schechter to help with my immigration from Canada to the US. Marla was extremely helpful, thorough, precise with detail, honest on timelines and expectations, and easy to work with! I highly recommend her services.

In the recent times, people are facing vivid immigration issues and is very stressful. Am victim of such an issue as well. I was denied my TN at Pearson Airport, though I have 6 successful TN VISA's prior to this. Post this incident I have approached my attorney, Marla, who has been and always played... vital role in addressing these immigration issues very professionally and strategically. She made sure my paperwork is all good, had thorough reviews and suggested me to apply for TN again from border out in the west side. Hear what!! My TN VISA got approved. My heartfelt thanks to Marla the way she handled the situation is impeccable. Thanks again Marla.

Really friendly, extremely knowledgeable and incredibly efficient.

I'm a British film and TV director. On a recommendation from a friend, I contacted Marla about helping me apply for an 0-1 "alien of extraordinary ability" visa to live and work in the US. We had an initial chat and she seemed friendly and knowledgeable - so I decided to recruit her to fight my c...orner. Thank goodness I did. She's fantastic. Getting a US visa is not easy, but Marla has many years of experience and guided me every step of the way as to what I needed to show and how I should present it. Throughout the process, she was straight-talking, quick to respond and always ready to give advice when needed. As soon as I had my papers in order, she launched herself at writing the petition letters and produced the perfect application package, Today, I have my O-1 and the accompanying visas for my wife and kids, and we're really looking forward to the US chapter of our lives. I would highly recommend Marla to anyone looking make the same move.
