Law Offices of Carl Shusterman brought our life back

I ever thought that was the end of our American dream. My husband and I came to USA in 2002. I worked for a company as a sales engineer. The company applied for H1 for me and H4 for my husband. We both got approved for H1 and H4 smoothly. Then we applied for green card in 2004. In the same year ...our daughter was born. One year later we bought our own house. Our life was getting better and better. But the happiness didn’t last long. In late 2010, the company I worked for 8 years fired me with no reason. Moreover they withdrew my I485 application. This all-of-the-sudden disaster shocked all of us: it seemed we didn’t have any choice but to prepare going back to where we came from. We tried everything we could and we were told the only way we can try is to port to a new company with a similar job position. Luckily I was soon hired by another company with offering of a similar job. Months later we were noticed for the interview by USCIS. The interview went well but weeks after we were both notified that our I485 application was denied. It was the saddest day for our family. We were supposed to leave USA in 6 months - after we have lived and worked hard in USA for 8 years. We had to sell the house and everything in it, sell our cars, tell every one of our friends that we are leaving, and the toughest thing for us is to bring our daughter to a totally new environment where she never has been to. The culture, the schools there are so different than those of America. How can she handle it? Fortunately we didn’t give up. We searched online for similar cases to ours and we thought we might still have hope. We finally found Law Office of Carl Shusterman – this could be our last hope – we thought. I went to their office and talked to Mr. Rajkrishna S. Iyer. And I got confidence after he analyzed my case. I can still remember what he said: “Your I485 shouldn’t be affected by the withdrawing. We can help you to make it right.” I was greatly comforted when I heard this. I almost started to cry. “They are our only hope.” My husband said. So we signed the contract with Law Office of Carl Shusterman. Mr. Rajkrishna S. Iyer and Ms. Ellen Lee worked together on my case. They started to make miracles: one week later we got the letter from USCIS saying our cases were re-opened. We knew Shusterman was fighting for us. But this battle was not easy for us. Two weeks later USCIS sent another letter stating our cases were still denied. We called Ellen and she told us: “The USCIS is referring to a wrong page of the law. Don’t worry.” Another week later, we were notified that our cases were live again. Then it was deadly quite for months. Ellen and their assistant Ms. Maria Cobian Alvarado followed up every week see if we got anything from USCIS. We told her that we got nothing. Ellen said she would ask them herself when she goes to USCIS office. Then she called us and said everything looked good. She asked us to order Info Pass to get exact information. I did and – that could be my most thrilling day in my life– I was told my green card was approved! They stamped on my passport as a temporary green card! Soon after that my husband got the temporary green card too. In two weeks our green cards were sent to production and we received them in our mail box! Now my husband is running his own business. We bought a new car and we are working on the second child. It was not easy but we finally made it. After being through all these we concluded two things: 1. Never ever give up. 2. Find the right people for help. The Law Office of Carl Shusterman saved our whole family. They are so knowledgeable, professional, diligent, responsible and kind. When they tell you they will follow up with you, they mean it. We would refer Law Office of Carl Shusterman to anyone who wants to fulfill their American dream.

very professional and expert immigration attorney

Jay Pounders (Sr. Paralegal) from Shusterman help me through the H1B transfer for me and my wife. He s really professional and respond to my questions very fast. My wife had to travel abroad during the H1B transfer and we got very helpful advice from Jay. He also filed the premium process later with ...no preparation fee (other than the fee required by USCIS). I m very glad with the service that I received. Highly recommended.
