Marie C. Puertollano

When Marie began working on my K1 Visa petition, I was in a very worried and tense state as my K1 Visa petition for my fiancé at the time, had been delayed for over a year (since March 2020). Additionally, the Russian embassy was working under a "skeleton" staff so even the most basic transactions w...ere severely delayed. In the midst of all the geopolitical and pandemic issues, Marie provided a guide plan of force multipliers that would hopefully push my petition to the top of the queue. Beyond this clarity, Marie delivered calm and most importantly was super responsive. Anytime I sent an email, she answered promptly and this meant so much as her expertise and clear explanations eased my mind. And the result...well, after 2 year of delays, my fiance and her daughter arrived from Russia in Sept. 21' and we have subsequently gotten married! So, I want to extend a personal thanks to Marie as your navigation during these tenuous geopolitical moments and COVID-19 pandemic was stellar and deeply and heartily appreciated. You are a blessing!

We hired Marie for our green card petition through marriage (US Citizen). While a relatively simple case on the surface, che case was processed during the pandemic, so there was a lot of uncertainty. Marie did a fantastic job at staying on top of our case, keeping us informed on a regular basis and m...aking us feel more comfortable. She guided us through the application process step by step, prepared us for the interview and came to the interview with us. Overall a great experience, we only have good words to share about her.

I hired Marie to help me and my company with the H1B visa process. The process was overall very smooth and painless. Marie explained to us clearly what the steps would be and what my chances of approval were. Everything worked out fine and I'm happy I chose her firm to get the job done. I will defini...tely reach out again to her regarding my future immigration needs.

I do not normally leave reviews but felt this was the least I could do for Marie after what she has done for me and my family. I required a lawyer to help me with a very complex Humanitarian Reinstatment application after my father (and sponsor) died unexpectedly. I had been waiting 8 years for my p...riorty date to arrive and the sudden death of my father was a huge blow to us all. I was aware of HR but also was aware that it was a very difficult thing to be given so thought the best option was to go through a lawyer that was familair with it. From the get go Marie and her team Lupe and Unica knew exactly what was required and guided me every step of the way to submit my request for HR. I will not go into detail as to what was required but I can assure you I would not have gathered half the material Marie instructed me to get. Once all documents were gathered I sent them to Marie who reviewed them in detail and only when she was satisfied, submitted them to USCIS. USCIS do not give updates on HR cases but Every time I contacted Marie for an update she always reassured me everything was normal and to have patience. After 2 years USCIS came back to us asking for more information which again took sometime to put together. Marie again reviewed and advised us on what to supply and in what format etc. Again after submission we didnt hear anything for nearly 3 years but last month (May 2019) I got an email from Marie with an attachment from USCIS confirming we had been successful. Whats more as my original priorty date was now current after 13 years we are in the process of preparing for our interview. I am 100% certain that without Marie there is no way my HR application would have been successful. If you need someone for an immigration issue such as mine I simply can't recommend Marie and her team enough!!
