Our process was approved, and our dreams were fulfilled

Haitham and his staff had an outstanding performance during our case. We could not have chosen a better lawyer to support us, besides all the legal and technical explanation that Haitham has provided us during the development of our case, the most astonishing aspect was the personal relationship he h...as established with us, truly understanding and helping us to overcome our fears and uncertainty. Since day one he provided us confidence and the motivation to keep up the good mood and having high hopes, this was a game changer for us that already had experienced a previous uncomfortable situation by having our case rejected. We wish him all the best, hoping he be able to help many others to realize their dreams as he did with us with his passionate attitude. Sincerely, Erica and Murilo

Mr. Ballout's Superstar Team!

My wife and I started my visa process on our own in 2013. We filled out all of the paperwork, paid the fees and tried to patiently wait for the next steps. After 2 years, I received information for my interview but, I had to fly back to my home country. The interviewer wanted to research more inform...ation so they scheduled a second interview 5 weeks later. My application was denied but I was given a pardon. We had to prove a hardship for my wife to live in the U.S. without me, she is an American citizen. At that point we knew this was more than we cold do on our own. A family friend recommended Mr. Ballout. My wife made an appointment and met with him and Mairead. They were very familiar with the process we experienced already and knew what was needed to fill out the pardon paperwork to get approved and bring me home. My wife and I immediately had full confidence in the entire office staff. We worked very closely with Mr. Ballout's office and other specialists that were recommended. Eventually we filed what looked like a 3 inch stack of forms, declarations, and other paperwork to support our case. Then we waited and waited. 8 months later my waiver was approved. I then thought this nightmare was over. Nope. It was submitted into an administrative review. We were discouraged. But Mr. Ballout and his team provided constant support, encouragement and wouldn't let us give up or even consider another option. 3 months later I received my visa and had my airline ticket home. Shortly afterward my Green Card came in the mail. After 3 1/2 years the nightmare was now over. Going to Mr. Ballout's office and meeting this superstar team was one of the first things I wanted to do once I got home. Even when I went to the office, they took time out of their very busy day to talk to me and my wife and shared our joy and happiness. Mr. Ballout told me there are no limits living in America. I appreciate and enjoy everyday living here. If I could offer one piece of immigration advice, go talk to Mr. Ballout and Mairead before you start filing any papers. There is no judgment and only kindness and support from the beginning of the process to the very end. We would not be where we are now without them. Thank you for giving me a new life!

Outstanding Immigration Lawyer

I have been in this country for over 15 years and thanks to Mr. Ballout I now have my green card. I have worked with a few lawyers over the years, with no results. Due to the complexity of my case, one lawyer even recommended that I self-deport back to my home country, that nothing could be done. A...fter my first meeting with Mr. Ballout, his expertise was evident. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, is very kind and easy to work with. Hiring him was the best decision I have made. Any time I called or emailed his office, he and his team were very responsive and informative. Mr. Ballout is truly an expert in this field and I would recommend him to anyone seeking to hire an attorney. Thank you, Mr. Ballout!

Haitham Balout is very knowledgeable, calm (he made the immigration process very friendly and relaxed) very professional and highly genuine. His calming and reassuring nature makes the immigration process as stress free as it can be. Haitham Balout is not only a great immigration attorney, but he is ...a wise attorney and also a wonderful human being with positive energy. I strongly recommend him to anyone who needs immigration services. Thank a lot Mr. Ballout!!
