Pleasure to work with a professional like Raul

Raul helped me and my husband with my green card application and we were both very impressed by his service. He has extensive knowledge and experience in the field and is incredibly helpful and patient. Throughout the whole process, which took months, both Raul and his team were always available to... answer our questions. We used an online system to fill out the forms (which was very convenient) and Raul’s team then thoroughly reviewed the application and organized it. Raul also personally accompanied us to our interview, which probably wasn’t essential but showed that he cared. It was a pleasure to work with a professional like Raul and we will definitely use his services again when it’s time to renew the green card. We most definitely recommend him!

Consult and Hire Mr. Ray Immediately!

If you need help with an immigration attorney who stands behind his work and truly cares about the people he is helping, you could not do better than Raul Ray. He was with us when my Mom secured her Green card in 2007 and then again in 2016 when she applied for Citizenship. Thank goodness Mr. Ray rep...resented her for the Citizenship process as we dealt with a major roadblock along the way. Since he’d helped her attain her Green Card, he was familiar with her case and was able to navigate the perils of United States Citizen and Immigration Services. I can happily share with you; my mother received her Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony by the Department of Homeland Security all thanks in part to Raul Ray. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and prompt with answers. It’s beyond human expression how thankful we are to him and all his work.

I have nothing but good things to say about him and his office, I would recommend him if you are going to hire an immigration attorney he is the way to go, h...e will answer your questions, and help you through whatever process you need to get done.

Petition for father

I'm very glad I was recommended to Raul. He help me with my fathers petition. He would explain everything with our case as many times as we needed he is very well knowledge of what he is doing. He also has translators that work in his office to help if you don't understand English. I'm extremely happ...y that everything was very easy to follow and successful. I would definitely recommend him to anyone else who needs to file a petition. His attitude is great as well.

Deportation Case

I was going through deportation and Raul was referred to me by a friend that he had help successfully within the same case. I hear great things about Raul and so contacted him for help. He had guided me thoroughly throughout the 3 years of court battling for my stay here in the U.S. Not only was he p...atience but he was understanding for the hardship that I've encounter since the case. He put out the extra time and effort to help me. I would have to say my case was a rare. At times I've given up on myself because of the many court fails. After many years of battling it finally came to an end and I was granted my green card. I cannot describe how thankful I am to have found an attorney like Raul Armando Ray. Amazing job and excellent!!!
