Best Immigration Attorney

We have been using the services of Mr. Shusterman's and his staff since 2005 for all our corporate needs. We have been dedicated with a senior paralegal Jay Pounders, who has been providing excellent support and we feel that we have our paralegal virtually sitting next door. The response time has alw...ays been in minutes and we are very much impressed with the way we have been mentored on all the immigration matters that we should be catching up. All our employees who work with Jay on immigration matters are very happy and convinced on the knowledge provided to them on their immigration needs. We are very happy to recommend Mr. Shusterman's and thier statt's services.

For best results, hire the best.

At the time I hired Carl Shusterman in 2006 to assist me with my application for US citizenship, I had been a Legal Permanent Resident (LPR). The most important issue that blocked my path to citizenship was the fact that I had lived a long, long long time out of the United Stated after becoming an LP...R in 1971. Acting on Mr. Shusterman's sage advice, I was able to collect documents that suggested I had intended to maintain family, social, and financial ties to the United States. Accompanied by one of Mr. Shusterman's staff immigration attorneys, I sailed through my citizenship interview and passed the citizenship test without difficulty. Many months later, the real value of the service Mr. Shusterman provides was highlighted when the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) had still refused to decide whether to grant my naturalization. USCIS hadn't decided on my case because the FBI had not completed its background check, notwithstanding the fact that USCIS is required by law to grant or deny citizenship applications within 120 days after completing the naturalization interview. With only weeks left left before my fingerprints for the FBI background check were to expire, (meaning that I would have to go to the back of the background-check line and wait all over again), Mr. Shusterman's crack litigation attorney, Amy Prokop came to the rescue. On my behalf, Ms. Prokop filed a petition for mandamus relief with US federal district court asking the court to order USCIS to make a decision on my citizenship application. The suit spurred the USCIS mandarins to make their decision. Thanks to Mr. Shusterman and Ms. Prokop, I was sworn in to become a proud US citizen. I highly recommend Mr. Shusterman for anyone needing a trustworthy and knowledgeable immigration attorney.

Sets the standard for all other immigration lawyers

Mr Shusterman, Atty Lee, Atty Raj Iyer, and Paralegal Elsa Garcia made everything so simple from the very beginning. After meeting Mr Shusterman for the first time, I knew exactly why he has such positive reviews from his other clients. Atty Lee thoroughly prepared me for my Adjustment of Status In...terview and I was grateful to have Atty Raj Iyer attend the interview with my father and I. Paralegal Elsa Garcia took care of all the confusing forms for me and kept me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Carl Shusterman to anyone needing immigration assistance. From simple cases to difficult ones, this firm will make the immigration process more bearable and will provide you your best chance of a positive outcome.
