Excellent lawyer that goes above and beyond

Nancy helped me with my fiancee’s K-1 visa. She is very kind, knowledgeable, patient, and was happy to answer all of our questions throughout the difficult K-1 process. Without her guidance, I don’t think we would have been successful. She was patient with our time difference and answered my question...s immediately no matter the time. She made us feel comfortable and confident about the process and was there every step of the way. Now I have my fiancée in the US with me and if any of my family or friends needed an immigration lawyer, I would recommend Nancy.

Best of the Best!

Nancy made my U-Visa process so easy and care-free, she's detail oriented and makes sure all deadlines are met. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to work on my case, her years of experience and knowledge in this field really show. You will not regret having her as your attorney!

Excellent Immigration Lawyer.

I hired Nancy to help my fiance get a K1 visa. She was personable, down to earth and very easy to talk to. Nancy was very familiar with the visa process, and did an excellent job of guiding us through the complex paperwork. She was always available to answer my questions and concerns. Her prices are ...competitive with her peers. I high recommend Nancy Whitehead if you are considering applying for a visa.

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
