This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

We recommend Anna as an asylum immigration attorney with immense gratitude.

Our case was extremely complex and came with constant stress. From the very beginning, Anna took full control of the process and built a clear, well-thought-out strategy that played a decisive role in securing asylum for our older son. Despite the alarming news and the overall tense immigration clima...te in 2025, we consistently felt protected and confident throughout the entire process. Anna worked with exceptional care and professionalism. A large volume of documents was collected and reviewed multiple times, and during the hearing it became clear just how critical this level of preparation was. Communication with Anna was flawless—she was always available, proactively guided the case, provided clear instructions, and carefully explained every step. The preparation for the hearing exceeded all expectations and significantly reduced our anxiety. As a result, the government attorney asked only a few questions and immediately waived the right to appeal. The judge openly stated that our chances of success were initially low, especially for our older son, but that the way the attorney prepared and presented the case made the positive decision possible. Anna is an attorney you can trust without hesitation with your family’s future. We are deeply grateful for her work and for the outcome she achieved.

Forever Thankful to Anna for Guiding Our Family Through This Journey

Ace Immigration was truly a godsend in helping us navigate the complicated adjustment of status process. Before working with their team, my husband and I felt overwhelmed and confused by the sheer volume of paperwork required. I was worried that if we handled everything on our own, we might miss some...thing important and delay our case. The team at Ace made the entire process feel manageable and stress-free. They were able to work with us virtually, were extremely knowledgeable and responsive, and had a clear, streamlined system in place. All of our documents were submitted accurately, our case progressed smoothly, and we were consistently kept informed of timelines and next steps. They also provided helpful referrals for required medical exams with providers in our area. We ultimately chose Ace Immigration because my husband is Ukrainian, and having a team fluent in Russian made a huge difference. They were able to translate documents and ensure my husband fully understood every part of the process. We are incredibly grateful for their support and for the speedy approval of our case, and we highly recommend Ace Immigration to anyone navigating the immigration process.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and your trust in Ace Immigration during such an important process for your family. Adjustment of status can feel overwhelming, and our goal is always to bring clarity, structure, and calm to what is often a stressful time. We’re glad to hear that our virtual workflow, communication, and systems helped make the process feel manageable and that you felt supported and informed at every step. We’re especially pleased that our multilingual capabilities were helpful and that your husband felt comfortable and fully informed throughout the case. Ensuring that our clients clearly understand both the process and their options is a core part of our practice. It was a privilege to work with you, and we’re delighted with the outcome of your case. Thank you again for your thoughtful recommendation—it truly means a great deal to our team.

Success depends on an effective partnership with the right attorney

We are extremely happy to write a review for Anna Tsibel and Ace Immigration. We understand from deep personal experience how essential an immigration attorney is to successfully navigate the complex, time consuming, financially and emotionally draining process of achieving the immigration result we ...desire. The first and most critical step is finding the right attorney with knowledge and experience with whom we can effectively work and spend as little money as possible. We feel that Anna’s fees were fair and reasonable. After you read our story, we hope you will agree that no one can argue with success. I am an American citizen with a Russian wife. We were living in Russia when in April 2023 we began researching US immigration attorneys using the AILA as a starting point. We identified dozens of attorneys and narrowed the search down to six to remotely interview. Anna Tsibel was one of the six. In April and July 2023 she gave us very valuable advice which convinced us to work with her. In August 2023 we fled Russia and travelled to Mexico where we intended to use the CBP One appointment process for my wife to legally enter the United States. When she attended her CBP One appointment at San Ysidro, California in February 2024 she was immediately detained by CBP and turned over to ICE for pre-removal detention. CBP and ICE refused to allow her to contact Anna Tsibel. But Anna immediately helped me to track down where my wife was being detained. When we learned she was detained in Louisiana, Anna recommended a Louisiana-based expert on ICE detention. After 7 weeks, this expert was eventually successful in getting my wife paroled from detention. In November 2024 Anna Tsibel began representing us for two processes: the removal proceedings and requesting a change of status for my wife to obtain her green card. Anna successfully handled the Master Court Hearing in December 2024 for the removal proceeding with an Individual Hearing being set for October 2027. Anna then helped us to apply for asylum in December 2024 and submit the I-130 and I-485 in January 2025. She prepared us for and she remotely attended our I-485 interview in October 2025. Within one day my wife’s green card was approved. Anna filed a motion for the Immigration Court to drop the removal proceedings. This was immediately approved by the Court and the government did not appeal the decision. It is almost impossible to put in words all the ways our lives have changed because of resolving my wife’s immigration issues. We went from extreme physical fear in July 2023 while still in Russia, to shock and anguish when my wife was detained in ICE prison, to shock and elation when we left the I-485 interview with our application approved, to jubilant celebration when my wife’s green card arrived in the mail. We can say that our lives have returned to normal and we look forward to a positive future in the United States. No one can put a price on this wonderful outcome. Over the years (2023-2025) we consulted and worked remotely with Anna Tsibel and Ace Immigration. We never had any issues with our communications or her responsiveness to our questions or document submissions. Of course, everyone’s immigration case is unique. Although we originally wanted to have an attorney highly versed in specific issues for Russian nationals, our experiences with her led us to determine that she is much much more than a Russian expert. With great enthusiasm we would recommend Anna and her firm to anyone needing an immigration attorney.

US Citizenship

When I started on my E-3, the U.S. immigration process felt intimidating. Anna changed that from day one. She mapped out a plan, set realistic expectations, and stayed a step ahead—first guiding me to my Green Card and, a few years later, to U.S. citizenship. Every email was answered promptly, every ...document carefully reviewed, and every worry met with a calm, confident explanation. I never felt like “just another case”; I felt like a priority. Holding my naturalization certificate, I thought about the steady, compassionate professionalism that got me there. I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you, Anna, for your expertise, your patience, and your heart. I’m deeply grateful.

Профессионалы высокого уровня!

Несколько лет назад меня вдохновила идея иммиграции в США. Изучив различные варианты легальной иммиграции, встал вопрос о поиске лицензированного адвоката. Поиском адвоката я занялась на сайте Avvo. Я написала о своей проблеме восьми адвокатам и мой выбор остановился на Анне Цибель, почувствовала п...рофессионализм еще на этапе переписки: ответили быстро; задали дополнительные вопросы для понимания; назначили 20-ти минутную онлайн встречу для знакомства. Анна предложила мне подать петицию EB-2 NIW. Анна очень понятно и объемно дала рекомендации о том, какие документы нужно предоставить и в процессе сбора документов она периодически просила дополнительные уточнения, что я считаю очень важным. Перевод документов на английский язык сделали сотрудники Ace Immigration. Благодаря профессионализму Ace Immigration, USCIS одобрили мою петицию EB-2 NIW через 3,5 месяца, это отличный результат. После этого Анна Цибель продолжала нас курировать на всех этапах подготовки документов для интервью. У меня на протяжении всей работы было очень много разных вопросов, и я всегда получала своевременный и профессиональный ответ. И после того, как мне проставили долгожданную иммиграционную визу США, Анна, в нескольких письмах, написала рекомендации необходимые для нового иммигранта. У нас семейный кейс, но я пока переезжаю одна и буду продолжать сотрудничать с Ace Immigration так как еще остались задачи, которые мы обязательно решим при помощи Анны Цибель и ее профессиональной команды. Большое спасибо!
