Abandon U.S. green card

I highly recommend Heather Fathali and her legal immigration expertise. The process of assisting me to give up my U.S. green card was done professionally, correctly, and in a timely manner. The act of handing in my green card at the U.S. border was simple, thanks to Heather's preparations. Heather... and her associate Jennifer were delightful to work with, very professional yet personable and pleasant. Many thanks!!

Excellent experience

I was so pleased with the service and expertise provided by Heather and all the staff at Cross Border Law in connection with my citizenship issues. They were prompt and courteous. I would recommend them in a second to anyone needing assistance.

Professional, helpful, efficient and supportive.

Heather worked on our immigration case for about a year and a half. She made the whole process very easy and was always super transparent about every step. When we had questions or concerns she was extremely helpful and supportive when things in the case became difficult. Besides her professionalism,... she is a wonderful human and a pleasure to be around. Thanks Heather for everything!

Help with E2 visa extension

4 years ago I hired Greg Boos from Cascadia Cross-border Law to prepare and file for an E2 visa. I was a Swiss citizen at the time and I just started a new business in the USA. Cascadia Cross-border Law made it very easy for me. Applying for such a complicated visa is not something one wants to ...take chances. They were the only firm I talked to that I felt 100% confident. Needless to say that I went back to Cascadia when it was time to renew my E2 visa. This time Heather handled my case. She was very professional and friendly. In the meantime received Canadian citizenship and I was able to apply via Canada. Turned out that the renewal process was just as involved as the original application. Heather put together a very professional looking and straight forward package. Entire case was handled via email and phone. I would not hesitate to recommend both Heater Fathali or Greg Boos for any USA visa related matters. Stefan
