Immigration assistance

2 1/2 years ago we received immigration assistance from Nancy Whitehead. She walked us through every single line of our many immigration forms. She single-handedly saved us an unimaginable amount of pain and suffering over immigration document woes. After her session with us, we turned in our docume...nts and everything went through smoothly. My wife and I were amazed at how simple the process became after our appointment with her. Fast forward 2 1/2 years… My wife and I needed some clarification on removing the conditional status from my wife’s two-year green card. I emailed her out of the blue and she responded immediately and asked me to call her on the next business day. I called her, and she gladly helped explain to me the process that I need to complete. Again, her assistance save me quite a bit of time, pain and suffering. Nancy’s kindness, thoroughness, and professionalism was absolutely second to none. Her knowledge on immigration issues was top notch!

Professional, Knowledgeable, Compassionate.

In my view, Nancy is not just one of the best immigration lawyers in Seattle, she is by far the very best in this business. Her dedication to representing little people like us is unsurpassed in our region. Whenever the need arises for you to visit her office even in the absence of an appointment, sh...e does her best to accommodate and talk to you with a big smile. Shooting Nancy an email is another area of her vibrant professional qualities; she responds to emailed questions almost instantaneously. She handled my process very meticulously, and the compassion with which she worked with me was emphatically unbelievable. The humanity I experienced at the caring hands of Nancy changed my perspectives on how much good there still is in our world. I will never trade Nancy for any immigration lawyer in our state, and perhaps, in the entire United States of America. May your blessed legal practice continues to blossom decades to come. My heartfelt thanks and appreciations for your selfless and tireless work.

Nancy goes extra miles!!

I contacted Nancy about an Immigration question. She was prompt in responding and also offering the help I would need. She went through the paperwork and suggested necessary changes for the outcome I wanted. I felt Nancy really cared and was very helpful!!

F1 visa/ Green Card On Marriage

After wasting so much time in looking for a reliable lawyer, paying too much for consultation without hope on my case. God bless the day I and my wife met NANCY WHITEHEAD she make my 30mins consultation looks like I had my green card already. I came to united state through student visa F1 and I g...ot married to my lovely wife (usc). I was have a financial crisis and I couldn’t go to school. Nancy told us we can apply without me going back to my home country and she made it work in less than 1year everything turn out good for us. I can proudly say I have my 2 years green card now. She did a very good job and put more happiness to my life and family. She is very simple, caring and understanding person. She always tell us what we want to know about our case and she never get tired of my boarding her cos I do alot with calls, emails and messages. Thanks Nancy
