Green Card: DONE

My husband and I hired Tyfany Markee for our L1 Visa first and for apply green card application a year ago. We received the permanent resident card in about a year. Our Lawyer did a great job and supported us throughout all the process. We greatly appreciated her service and we definitely reccomed... her.

Visa L1

Tifany is a great lawyer, she knows her work and she always goes straight to the point. Before I knew her I consulted two other lawyers, they reviewed my case and they both said there wasn't anything to do for me. During the first consultation Tiffany explain to me two types of scenarios whi...ch none of the other lawyers explained to me. Tifany made everything easy for me and I am in my second visa renovation now. Thank you Tifany !

Extremely Knowledgeable & Helpful

I cannot say enough positive things about Tifany and her office. Tifany filed for our family's E2 visas when we moved from Canada and I was completely surprised with how fast she responded and ultimately how quickly everything was approved (approx 6-8 weeks). Tifany was fast to respond to our questio...ns and helped to ease our panic throughout the process. Her rates were very affordable and the service we received was well worth the cost. I have been recommending Tifany to people ever since we moved to the US and will continue to do so. Thank you again for everything.

PEACE OF MIND!

From the beginning, Tifany Markee and her office came highly regarded and recommended by a few of our close friends! So of course, when I first consulted with Tifany we had high hopes and confidence about her services. But to our surprise, the level of professional and peace of mind that she provid...ed me and my husband with was beyond what we could have expected and will always be incredibly grateful to Tifany. I am especially thankful that she was able to work my case, and that within less than six months she was able to get me the results that I had waited for over 15-years. Thank you, Tiffany!

Helping family come home

Tifany Markee did a wonderful job for us. Her knowledge of immigration law and the immigration process were a huge help for me and my wife as we worked to get her visa. My wife was pregnant at the time and her appeal to get us an earlier interview may have literally been a life saver. We had our baby... only a month after we got here and although mom and baby are now doing great there were complication after delivery. I don't know what would have happened if we'd still been in Africa. We're so grateful for everything Tifany did for us.
