Emily Singer Hurvitz

I came to Emily after a previous attorney had made a significant mess of my O-1A petition filing. I was stressed and uncertain about the path forward but Emily stepped in and completely turned the situation around. She assessed the damage and put together a phenomenal 642 page Request for Evidence re...sponse in just two weeks. The level of detail and strategic organization in that filing was remarkable. After submission under premium processing through the California Service Center the petition was approved within five days. Five days. That speaks to the quality of the work she put together. What stood out most was her communication throughout the entire process. She was always responsive and clear and made sure I understood every step along the way. She never left me guessing about timelines or next steps. Even after the approval came through she immediately followed up to clarify the details of my change of status and I-94 implications so I knew exactly where I stood. If you are looking for an immigration attorney who combines deep expertise with genuine care for her clients I would recommend Emily without hesitation. She took a case that felt like it was falling apart and delivered a result I could not be more grateful for.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

My journey with Emily has been extremely rewarding and truly wonderful. Over the past year alone, I had the privilege of working with her on three different immigration matters: changing from H-1B to B-2 status after losing my job, transitioning back to H-1B with a new employer, and filing my marria...ge based Green Card application—which was successfully approved. Managing all of these cases within the same year could have been overwhelming, but Emily made the entire process smooth, clear, and reassuring. Beyond her deep expertise in immigration law and exceptional professionalism, Emily’s responsiveness, clear communication, compassion, and genuine commitment to her clients truly set her apart. During these stressful and uncertain times in the U.S. immigration landscape, it is rare to find an attorney who listens patiently, provides clarity, and sincerely works in your best interest rather than creating unnecessary fear. I am incredibly grateful to have found that in Emily. If it were possible, I would give her far more than a five-star rating. I will continue to confidently refer her to everyone I know and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Emily has been a trusted legal partner for almost a decade. From call one, she was meticulous in her preparation and outstanding in the level of care and support that she provided throughout the journey. She has an unequalled ability to crystallise complex legal matters into bite-size, achievable ...steps that we can actually do something with. She's efficient, fast, reliable, with outstanding attention to detail, and more importantly, is an actual real human being who understands what you're trying to achieve on your immigration journey. She has my highest recommendation, and I couldn't possibly imagine working with anyone else.

Never in my life did I think I would be so impressed by an attorney's work. In May 2023, my last EB-1A application was denied, and I wasn’t pleased with my previous attorney's efforts. Seeking a better option, I consulted with several attorneys and was recommended to Emily by a friend. During the ...consultation meeting, she provided a comprehensive explanation of my situation and the available options. Impressed by her clarity, I decided to work with her for my next applications, specifically for the O-1 visa. Having completed three O-1 applications before, I thought I knew what to expect from an attorney. However, upon reviewing the filing package prepared by Emily, I must say I was deeply impressed. While my previous attorney seemed to focus on simply filling out forms and composing a basic cover letter with the materials provided, Emily went above and beyond. She conducted extensive research on my job, clearly articulating my responsibilities and achievements to the USCIS. The package was exceptionally well-organized, demonstrating her understanding of the information the USCIS seeks. This package alleviated much of my anxiety, and I believe that, if I were the reviewing officer, I would grant approval swiftly. In fact, I did receive approval in just five business days without any Requests for Evidence (RFE), suggesting the officer was equally impressed by her work. My previous attorney was not adept at explaining things to me. He would present options and expect me to seek information online, neglecting to fully explain the associated risks. This approach ultimately jeopardized my immigration status. I am immensely grateful to Emily for not only identifying the risks but also assisting in rectifying my status through a nunc pro tunc request. Once again, I was astounded by the thorough research she conducted and the meticulous organization of the filing. The nunc pro tunc request is discretionary, meaning USCIS is not obligated to approve it. However, we secured approval within five business days. If this doesn't signify she is the best attorney, I don't know what does. The immigration application process is exhausting and intense for all individuals seeking to stay in the US. What I truly appreciate about Emily is that, throughout my application process, I felt she was on my side—actively working to help me solve problems rather than merely pointing out challenges. This meant a lot to me, especially considering the anxiety and depression I experienced during this process. Emily addressed all my concerns, and I am sincerely grateful to her. As I mentioned before, she is the best immigration attorney one could ask for, and I wholeheartedly trust her with all my future applications!

I had the privilege of working with Emily during my L1B visa application process. She was always there for me, answering every question and meeting with me whenever I needed guidance. She didn't just answer my questions; she gave advice that really made a difference. Because of her help, my petiti...on was approved super quickly. What really stands out is how much she cares. She made a process that could have been really stressful very smooth and easy. I felt like I was in safe hands the entire time. If you want a lawyer who is not just great at her job but also a great person to work with, I can't recommend her enough.
