I got my TN Visa, thanks Mr Shusterman

A friend recommended Mr. Carl Shusterman for my immigration purposes. I was pleasantly surprised to not only find an awesome attorney, but a kind and considerate professional and expert in all issues about immigration. I had been consulted by some other lawyers in the past who always were running giv...ing me only 15 minutes for interview and after that they almost pushing me out of the office. Mr. Shusterman never saw the clock and he never force to finish the interview. My appointment was supposed for 30 minutes but we took 50 minutes and I felt really comfortable because all my doubts were nicely clarified in the first interview. Mr. Shusterman assigned to me their senior paralegal, Jay Pounders. Mr. Pounders has not only demonstrated competency in his knowledge of immigration matters but has won me over by his sensitivity to what an applicant goes through while trying to stay “legal” through this entire process. He is extremely prompt in responding to emails and the reason why I appreciate that is that he would not only respond within the same day but that the emails would be detailed enough to help me understand what needs to be done. There have been so many occasions when I will ask for clarification and he will get back to me promptly. Mr. Shusterman’s Law Firm and Mr. Jay Pounders helped me through this entire process including arranging all the required documents that I might need, preparing me for the interview at the US Consulate as well at the point of entry into United States. Needless to say, the process went smooth! We highly recommend the law office of Carl shusterman to anyone needing immigration assistance, this firm will make the immigration process more bearable and will provide you your best chance of a positive outcome.

Couldn't have asked for better results with Carl Shusterman Law firm.

With the invaluable help of Carl Shusterman's team my wife and I fulfilled our dream of being together after being apart for several years. The immigration process is a very delicate matter and the paperwork needs to be presented properly, and when it is about being with your loved ones, you should ...only let the best in the business handle your case. The whole process from the moment I contacted them to the day my wife was with me with a CR1 residency visa in hand lasted about 1 year and 4 months, and during that time Maria was always on top of my case making sure all documents were submitted correctly and in time, including always being available when I called and with plenty of informative and useful emails. In the beginning, Ellen adviced us on which type of visa was better for us (fiancee vs spouse) according to the specifics of our situation, and near the final steps she provided us with excellent interview preparation and support when we were unsure on how to proceed. The above plus the fact that the fee agreed upon when the case started never changed, makes me rate this team as the best Immigration Law Firm in Los Angeles, and I highly recommmend it to anyone seeking legal immigration advice.

Professional and prompt help

Lawyers of this law firm are really good for helping in my green card application. My case is a little difficult because I was denied before. Lawyer Raj and Susan accepted my case and provided me a lot of useful material templates such as recommendation letter. They made an excellent draft of petiti...on letter that guaranteed my successful application. As a result, no REF was happened to me. Both I-140 and I-485 forms were smoothly approved. Right now I am enjoying my happiness. I recommend you contact them, you will definitely get help.

Can't say enough words to describe them.......

I went to Mr. Shusterman for adjustment of status for my wife who overstayed her visa waiver for about 4 years and she came here after we were married. I searched the internet and found similar cases like us which has been denied I even consulted a lawyer before Mr. Shusterman who was so pessimist...ic and said your case is being denied in most USCIS offices now. I decided to go to Mr. Shusterman law firm and after he heard our story he said it’s simple case marriage, I was shocked how calm he was about our case and the confidence he had but I trusted him right away. He gives you attention and listen to you, he and all the staff in the office answer any questions you have either on the phone or in person, I dealt with different lawyers and they treat you like they hired you not that you hired them, In Mr. Carl office it’s totally different you feel warm, friendly and comfortable, usually me and my wife when we make a decision she tells me let think about it first and then decide what we are going to do, when she talked to Mr. Shusterman to represent us she didn’t think twice and was very confident about him and his firm Elsa Garcia the firm paralegal is very friendly, professional and you deal with her most of the time, she is very prompt in answering e-mail or calling you back when you leave a message. And then comes attorney Lee nice, humble and very professional with tons of immigration experience and when the time come to defend you or represent you she is like law monster that nobody can stand infront of her, beside my wife hard case few month before the interview I became unemployed and I was so afraid because I didn’t have another income sponsor, she calmed me down and assured me not to worry about it. Sure enough our case was approved like a piece of cake with the help of those amazing people. Amazing firm, wonderful staff and most important they know what they are doing, those words are not enough to express our feelings, thanks a lot me and my family will not forget what you did for us.
