E2 VISA Application

Upon a recommendation, I met with Tifany to discuss options for remaining in the US. It was determined that re-applying for a new E2 Visa would be the most viable option. Tifany was very thorough in explaining the procedures and was hired based on her belief I had a strong case. At no time did she ev...er guarantee acceptance so I was under no false assumptions my application would be accepted. Upon my submission of my documents to Tifany, she assembled and submitted the completed application. After the normal wait time of 3-4 months, I was given Approval Notice. I credit Tifany with submitting a strong and comprehensive application that ultimately was accepted. I would not hesitate to recommend Tifany for any immigration needs and will undoubtedly use her services again. Thank you!

Green Card process

Tifany was the attorney hired by my employer when they sponsored my Green Card and i've chosen to work with her again on the process to extend it to my wife. She was always responsive, clarifying my doubts and making me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. Great lawyer!

Could Not Have Done it Without Tifany.. Highly Recommended !!!

Our experience with Tiffany was exceptional. She is outstandingly professional and was always available with the knowledgeable answers we needed to help us along the way. All our concerns were addressed promptly with detailed explanations that truly reflect how experienced Tiffany is in immigration c...ases. She was present during the immigration interview, which bolstered our confidence that the proceedings would go smoothly. We could not have asked for a better lawyer.

Tiffany Markee

We adopted a child who was born outside the country. Once we began with the immigration process, nobody wanted to take our case. Apparently we had skipped certain procedures in the adoption process. My attorney (Tiffany E. Markee) took our case. She reviewed the adoption documents, referred us to... another attorney that helped us amend the adoption. Once the adoption paperwork was in order, she helped us get the DACA for our child while we were waiting for the case to be processed by the immigration office. When we received our appointment for the interview, she walked us through all the paperwork and explained all the documents and appointments we had to attend prior to the appointment. I am very satisfied with her work. I would strongly recommend her services.

Visas and more

We have been working with Tifany Markee for well over 10 years. She has provided us with prompt and courteous attention with all of our cases which have included, H-1B's, TN's and Permanent Residencies. All of the cases she has worked with us have been successful and stress feel. Tifany goes above a...nd beyond to make sure all requirements are completed in a timely manner. She is very responsive to emails even on the days she is off. I highly recommend her services if you want peace of mind that your case will be handled appropriately and by an attorney with lots of integrity.
