apply for a green card
ผมเป็นหนึ่งในผู้ที่ให้สำนักงานทนายแทมมี่ทำเรื่องปรับสถานะขอใบเขียวจากการแต่งงานให้ ทีมงานทนายทุกคนทำงานแบบมืออาชีพมากครับ ทั้งงานเตรียมเอกสาร งานติดตามเอกสาร การแจ้งความคืบหน้าของเคสเราให้ทราบเป็นระยะ ทางสำนักงานได้ส่งใบสมัครให้ทาง uscis กลางเดือน 7/2022 เคสอนุมัติ ได้รับใบเขียวโดยไม่ต้องไปสัมภาษณ์ ได้รับใบเขียวในท้ายเดือน 1/2023 ใช้เวลา 6 เดือนนิดๆ สามารถสอบถามและปรึกษาปัญหาที่สงสัยกับทางทนายและทีมงานได้ตลอดเวลา

Successful case for my mom's permanent residence status
I get a very good and professional service from Attorney Tammy for applied a green card for my mom. I am a US citizen and apply a permanent residence status for my mom while she was in Thailand. My mom got her interview in Bangkok on April 22, 2022. I went there to see if she passed the interview, I can bring her with me to the US. Finally she was granted her permanent residence status. We came back to the USA on May 12, 2022. On July 12, 2022 her green card arrived in the mail. It's exactly 2 months for my mom to wait. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for an immigration lawyer to work for your case. You are coming to the right place. I guarantee! 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for this office.

Bilingual (Thai/English) immigration lawyer
Attorney Tammy is a bilingual (Thai/English) immigration lawyer who has knowledge of immigration law as well as experience with it. I did research into my case before contacting her, but when I reached out, she found some minor details that I did not expect. This impressed me so I asked her for her assistance on the full case. Attorney Tammy has a pleasant disposition and will treat you as if she is a high-end attorney even though her fee is average. However, it appears that she has a lot of clients so the waiting time for an appointment is somewhat long if your schedule is busy. If your schedule is open and you have plenty of free time, your wait time will probably not be as long.

Immigration consult
Lawyer Tammy and her crew, Jada, are very nice and professional. This is my first consultation with her and I'm absolutely satisfied with the result. During talking to her, I realized that she did study my case. Her advice was very clear, straight to the point and she even guided me through the process so I could find out the answer I wanted. For Ms. Jada, she was very helpful and polite to work with. She had been quick to respond my email I sent including my phone calls before meeting when I encountered technical zoom meeting. After all, I have to say that I really had good experience and definitely recommended lawyer Tammy and Ms.Jada.
