Carl Shusterman

I was referred to Mr Shusterman from a contact at the Canadian Consulate in Los Angeles. I was very impressed with the detail of the information provided to me and what to expect in the process of applying for a work visa. Jay Pounders, Senior Paralegal, was assigned to me and he was equally informat...ive. I have been very pleased working with these two individuals and the positive results of our applications.

This is the best

Save yourself some time, some money, and a lot of heartache. Go see Carl. I recently brought my Chinese wife to America. Everything was flawless. No requests for more info. An interview with the American embassy that was successfully concluded in 10 minutes. It was actually sad to see about 20 women ...come out from the interview before her - they were trying not to cry. Carl has been doing this for a few decades. He knows things the average person would never know. That's why I say save some money. Trying to do it a few times by yourself will most likely result in trouble. It costs more to fix trouble than it does to do a correct immigration. Carl also has an amazing team to back him up. Judy Lu handled our case because my wife was Chinese. Judy immigrated here almost 30 years ago from China. She's been doing this for almost 30 years. She knows everything about the process, but more importantly she knows everything about the immigration system and people. She knows what they want to see, she knows what makes them suspicious. Carl even had a Chinese speaking lawyer coach her for the interview. I highly recommend Carl and his staff.

485 Notice of Intent to Deny

I received a Notice of Intent to Deny and I was in a panic. I had known Mr Shusterman through his bulletin which I read for several years. He gave me excellent advice and was able to respond to that notice in less than a week. Raj Iyer in his office responded very promptly and courteously to all my ...requests. It was the best experience I have had with immigration lawyer in nearly 8 years of trying to get my green card.

entire immigration

I have known Carl Shusterman since 1997 when I met him in Pasadena,California. He has a very charming personality. It was a very tough time for me having used some very so called prominent lawyers in the past for my H1 B and nothing was happening. He was able to get me out of the hole and subsequen...tly get my EAD , Travel Parole and Green Card. We just got our citizenship on the 5th year anniversary of Green Card! We never had a query by the USCIS on our case, it was thoroughly prepared always. I would mention Ms Judith Lu in his office who handled my case professionaly and answered my questions on time and promptly. Your case is guaranteed to be approved on time without any problem if you use them. It is Time and money well spent. I am going to use them for my parents immigration now without hesitation. Thanks a lot Carl and Judith.

Outstanding Immigration Attorney

Mr. Shusterman and his team of attorneys are outstanding and clearly some of the best in the field of immigration law, based on our experience. We (my spouse and I) recently got our Green cards approved, Mr. Shusterman’s office representing as our attorney. After being stuck in the black hole o...f immigration backlog for many years, we had almost given up hope for any resolution soon, till we got in touch with Mr. Shusterman, who assured us that cross-chargeability would work in our case and that there was light at the end of the tunnel. Throughout the course of our consultations, I came to know Mr. Shusterman as an extremely knowledgable and experienced attorney. His approach was realistic coupled with optimism. We were given the entire, bigger picture, before being focused on the specifics of our case, which gave us a sound understanding of the whole, and confidence in Mr. Shusterman’s ability to pursue our case. I appreciate their office for being approachable, extremely professional and pushing relentlessly for the success of our filing. Personally, I do not feel we could be in better hands, and sometimes regret that we could’ve easily shaved off atleast a year of waiting in the backlog if we had approached them earlier. Can’t thank them enough. Highly recommended!
