US Citizenship Application - Continuance Letter

Attorney Maleeha Haq assisted me with responding to a continuance letter related to my US Citizenship application. I am delighted to say that, with her assistance, I was successful in obtaining my US Citizenship. When I was first considering seeking an attorney's assistance, I had contacted sever...al. Not one person was willing to consult without charging me a consultation fee (usually $200+). It was through a friend that I came across Ms. Haq. And after discussing my case with Ms. Haq over the telephone, I chose her to represent me. I could tell she cared about my situation and sincerely wanted to see me get my US Citizenship. In my dealings with Ms. Haq, I found her to be very competent, knowledgeable, a good listener, and patient. Her inquiries, when examining my case, were well thought out. Ms. Haq was prompt in responding (either via phone or email) to any questions/concerns I had. Also, she took the time and care to ensure I addressed all matters that were noted in the continuance letter. Finally, she guided me in drafting a response to the satisfaction of USCIS. I am very satisfied with Ms. Haq's immigration services. She gets my highest recommendation!

The best ever

I went to Maleeha Haq to apply for greencard, i definitely recommend her to everyone, she is so nice, friendly, understanding & on top of things.. There was never a time when i called her & she didn't answer or got back immediately to me, she is always comforting my worries, nothing she said didn't ...happen, the process went so smothely, & she was always there for me. She is more than a lawyer, she is a sister.. U can rely on her & she'll never let u down. She is seriously the best.. Nothing i say is ever enough for her, i can't thank her enough (", )
