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.

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.

Excellent lawyer, professional.

In the spring of 2022, I faced a serious problem — I needed to obtain political asylum in the United States. This process is complex and requires not only a deep knowledge of the law but also proper documentation, preparation for a hearing in immigration court, and interaction with the authorities. I... understood that without professional help, my chances of success would be minimal. Anna handled my case completely and represented my interests in immigration court. All the work was organized online, which turned out to be very convenient. I didn't have to go to the office or spend time on in-person meetings — everything was handled remotely, through video calls and email. Anna was always in touch, answered all my questions, and gave clear instructions. I chose Anna because I saw many positive reviews and was convinced that she was truly an expert in political asylum cases. From the very beginning, she explained in detail how the process would go, what my chances of success were, which documents needed to be prepared, and how to present my story in the best way. What I especially liked was that Anna worked with great attention to detail and individually. She didn't just prepare documents; she helped me correctly tell my story, advised me on what to emphasize, and carefully checked every detail. Because of this, I felt confident at every stage of the process. As a result, I was granted political asylum! This completely changed my life. Now I have legal status in the United States, the ability to work, build my future, and live without fear for tomorrow. I am very grateful to Anna and her team for their professionalism, patience, and support. Without her, this journey would have been much more difficult. I recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable immigration attorney!

Thank you, Anna!

We approached Ace Immigration in January 2023 seeking assistance with obtaining political asylum in the United States. Our experience with this firm was exceptionally positive. Their organization was clear and professional. All necessary legal forms were prepared on time and without errors, significa...ntly expediting the process of obtaining the required documents. Thanks to the efforts of Anna and her team, our family received approval for our case already in June 2024. We are now in the process of applying for our Green Card. We express deep gratitude to Anna and the entire Ace Immigration team for their professionalism and efficiency. We confidently recommend them as high-level specialists capable of tackling even the most complex immigration issues.

Asylum case

Ace Immigration law firm was recommended to us by a lawyer from California who said he did not work with cases like ours but knows just the right attorney for us. Our situation was both difficult and urgent. Due to inaccurate and incompetent information received from other lawyers, we were unprepared... for such a tough situation, when things did not go according to plan. We were very lucky to find Anna Tsibel at that moment. The team of Ace Immigration did all the work needed both efficiently and thoroughly, everything was done on time and in a very organized manner. All of our questions were answered very quickly, we received all the necessary advice and assistance during the time of preparing the asylum case. We knew from the beginning that we had a tough judge in Texas (whose approval rates were only 5%), and we also knew that our attorney was going above and beyond, leaving no stone unturned. Two days ago, the final court hearing took place, and the judge approved the asylum application! We are very grateful that all this time we felt the sincere support of the Ace Immigration team for us!
