US Citizenship for adopted child

Tifany was the greatest! I started on my own to apply for US citizenship for my adopted son. At some point I was sent a letter by USCIS for more information and papers. At that point I knew I couldn't do it myself. I consulted three lawyers, experts in US citizenship and two of them told me to contin...ue going in one direction. The third one told us, since it was an adoption. he wouldn't be able to help us and redirected us to Tifany. Once we consulted her, she helped us understand the whole process. If we had gone with any any of the other lawyers, we wouldn't have gotten very far, and if we did, it would have been more costly and time consuming. Tifany demonstrated her knowledge in adoption citizenship cases. Highly recommended.

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!

Making life easier

Tifany has handled a few of my cases from an E-2 visa to now a green card. I don't live close so distance could have been a problem but it hasn't been. All of my cases were handled quickly and have been incredibly easy in all aspects. I have been so prepared that everything has been more of a formail...ty than a stressful situation. I couldn't ask for anything more.
