USA Immigration Petition - CSPA Child Status Protection Act

Excellent service from Atty Flomy Diza and Reeves team. Very trustworthy - based on their analysis of case he informed us the chances of USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services) approval before we decide on signing contract. We have consulted other Lawyers in Sacramento and San Francisco and... decided on Reeves based on knowledge of the CSPA case and cost. Timeline from Filing CSPA case to Approval was 5 months - Reeves estimate was 6 months depending on USCIS workload. Atty. Diza was with us during the USCIS interview at Sacramento. Our family's personal opinion "because of Reeves success rate on their cases they have a good reputation with USCIS." On behalf of our family - thank you very much!

Thank you Atty. Flomy Diza

I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who helped me obtain my legal status here in America wherein my case was so difficult and hopeless. But with the effort of Atty. Diza, Atty. Arroyo, paralegal Vicky and Carla, I received my green card last January 23, 2014 and that is the happiest... moment of my life and my husband as well. Until now we can"t believe it. For those who came here in America on a C1 visa with different name, there is a big hope. So I would recommend Atty. Diza to handle your case and in less than a year you can be legalized.

Atty. Flomy Diza resolved my crewman visa!

I arrived here in America in 2001 with C1 visa. Since then I didn't go home to the Philippines. Three years later, a hospital here in states sponsored my RN wife as immigrant worker. She petitioned me in July 2012 when she became a US citizen in February 2010. We didn't hire a lawyer for the first t...ime but my wife stood by me without fear exposing me to the immigration officer. My fear of deportation was so intense if I get denied. Her I-130 petition as her husband was approved however, my application to register as Permanent Resident or for Adjustment of Status was denied on April 2013 because of misrepresentation. Misrepresentation in the sense that I was not a true crewman. Three days after the denial, my wife and I went to the office of Reeves Miller Zhang & Diza in San Francisco CA. Atty. Flomy Diza, a Filipino immigration attorney handled my case. We restarted the entire petition process with the help of Daniel, paralegal who is dedicated in compiling the needed requirements. I got my Social Security card and Employment Authorization in June 2013 and became a parole a month later. Atty. Ben Loveman was with me and my wife during my Adjustment of Status interview on December 4, 2013. The interview was challenging because the immigration officer was uncertain of my parole case. Atty. Ben is also adept of US immigration policy. Finally, I got my green card WITHOUT A WAIVER on December 23, 2013! A christmas we couldn't forget! Our initial consultation with Atty. Flomy Diza asserts integrity, commitment, and expertise. He is a lawyer who is brisk and decisive to specific interventions to resolve this difficult case. My wife and I sustain Atty. Diza as integral immigration resource. We endorse him without reservation.

ATTY FLOMY DIZA AN EXCELLENT ATTY TO GIVE YOUR HOPES FOR

I have met Atty Flomy Diza two years ago for consultation of my case in Reeves and Associates in San Francisco,when I first met him I was not sure if he will be able to help me with my difficult case,(i was living in America for the past 10 yrs and i have received this letter of Removal from US, prob...ably me having deported later on),i have a question in my mind,like,Is this Atty good?Will he be able to do it?WILL HE BE ABLE TO HELP ME?Do I have to trust him with my complicated case?I guess its normal to ask yourself to ask this questions,especially if you don't really know the person and what capabilities he may have.So anyway,with all a lot of prayers,i have decided he is the one,and just totally trust GOD and of course my trust on this Atty...Flomy started to work on my case and months and a year go by,communications from INS is coming back as a frustrations and disappoinments,and great depression would set in,because it seems all of our cases that been filed are being disapproved and its like there is no hope at all,i have a family with two small kids and I was always thinking about them,what if I will be deported?what will I do?Whats gonna happen to my family?But instead Atty Flomy would give me assurance and my mind would settle down,i have so many questions regarding the case and Atty Flomy would always answer it in a very timely manner EVERYTIME,some other Atty would not do that,like my previous Atty that did not even thoroughly review my case and it was a mistake hiring that atty...thats why I totally praised this Atty for being there always as a support legally and emotionally....Atty Flomy is very thorough reviewing my case and all of those INS denials on my case,he would always have a lot of never ending strategies to counter it--(including going to mexico to exit using my advance parole strategy of Flomy and then come back to US ,i was hesitant at first because im afraid that,what if I would not be admitted back to US,but Atty Flomy assured me 101% that I would be able to comeback and so I did and it was a success I was able to comeback)---,we always move on with my case and was never stuck,and step by step we have achieved what we aimed for,an interview with INS,on the interview Atty Flomy was so knowledgeable on his work presenting my case,i have felt a calm environment and was assured during the interview because he was there...So finally after two days after that interview,we have achieved our "GOAL" I was given a greencard and its an amazing feeling,and i was more amazed because I have been given a 10 yr greencard..After 10 years of waiting ..if GOD did not show Atty Flomy to me I don't know whats gonna happen..Truly Atty Flomy is an angel sent from above......So all in all ATTY Flomy is an EXCELLENT Lawyer that everyone needs to see especially on those people out there with difficult cases,We don't need to go on those ATTY's on TV ,which is very expensive,because those appearances on TV makes them expensive and all in all ATTY's not seen on TV are the one most good and excellent--(set my case as an example,that was handled perfectly by Atty FLOMY)-- and they charge less but it depends on each cases too I guess.. ATTY FLOMY,MY FAMILY AND I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR HEARTFELT GRATITUDE ON YOUR HARDWORK TO THE RESOLUTION OF MY CASE..THANK YOU SO MUCH..AND MAY GOD MAY GIVE YOU GOOD HEALTH AND CONTINUED WISDOM TO HELP THOSE PEOPLE OUT THERE SEEKING EXPERT ADVISE ON IMMIGRATION MATTERS. WITH MUCH THANKS ATTY FLOMY, NURSE PO NG SACRAMENTO..
