Best attorney!

I'm originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I made the leap to the US almost 5 years ago on an H1B visa. Let me tell you, Genie and her amazing team were absolute lifesavers in helping me and my wife navigate through all the paperwork and formalities. About 2 years ago, we decided to apply fo...r an employment-based green card, and let me tell you, Genie was very helpful throughout the entire process. She gave us all the information we needed and even broke down the timeline for each step. Everything was going smoothly until one hiccup when the USCIS rejected my application because of my education and experience (maybe because of a translation issue with my college degree). I panicked! But Genie quickly calmed me down, reassuring me that it was probably just a mistake on their end. She suggested we appeal the case, and I'm glad we did! The appeal went through, and my green card was approved! Finally, this month, we got our hands on those shiny green cards for both me and my wife. You can imagine the excitement and relief we felt. It's been quite a journey, but having professionals like Genie by our side made all the difference. They made a complex process feel a whole lot easier, and we couldn't be more grateful.

Green card / immigration law / spouse visa

Genie and Amal have been wonderful to work with. Throughout the process they are communicative with our questions. We went through a 3 year green card application and are currently working on a 10 year one. They take their time to explain the fine details and the do’s and dont’s I don’t have a si...ngle complaint with how they have treated us and highly recommend them.

Can't recommend Genie and Amal enough!

I have worked with Genie and Amal since 2019. They helped me file my initial green card application, helped me navigate the application for removal of conditions on my green card, and helped me file my citizenship application. At each step of the process, they were responsive, informative, and co...mforting. I felt at ease knowing that my application was in their hands. They took the time to explain every step, what was required of me, and what they would handle. They are exceedingly friendly, warm, and skilled. I 11/10 would recommend working with them!

Excellent!

ジーニー弁護士は日英両語で相談に乗ってくれました。ビザ申請時の大使館でのインタビューや、入国審査時の質問に備えるための助けなど、知識と経験から来る役立つ情報を教えていただき、さらに選択肢や提案もしてくださいました。親身に相談に乗ってくださり、質問に対する答えもいただけて、とても助かりました。 Genie was very helpful in answering our question about applying a VISA. She knows what typically happens during the interview, as well as at the U.S. imm...igration. She knows what to say or what not to say in these interviews. She also made a few quick researches to give us accurate answers during the consultation. She provided some options and suggestions to us, which made sense. If you have Japan and U.S. VISA/travel questions, be sure to get her help!

Green card (EB-2 NIW) application

Genie is very helpful, honest and knowledgeable. From the very beginning of our consultation, she was honest with me about the risks and benefits. That was one of the main reasons I signed up with her. Her strong support and confidence backed by her proven track record allowed me to move forward with... the green card process without anxiety. I was also assisted by the excellent teamwork of Genie and Amal, and was able to successfully obtain my green card. Thank you!
