Nothing but positive things to say about Len

I was so nervous to seek the assistance of a lawyer. My husband and I make a humble household income between us, and we had already been through the ringer before finally breaking down and realizing we needed professional legal assistance. We were so nervous to get taken advantage of or end up spendi...ng our only savings on through-the-roof legal fees. Len was the only lawyer who didn’t charge us some crazy fee just for an initial consultation - in fact he called me on a Saturday after receiving my email inquiry, and never charged me a thing until I had actually met with him in person and was feeling comfortable about the whole process. He broke everything down and was transparent every step of the way… he even worked with us on an extremely reasonable payment plan. We haven’t been officially approved for the green card yet, but he texted me this evening to inform me that their office sent off all our final paperwork this afternoon and provided us with a tracking number. I am feeling peaceful and confident after seeing how all the other steps in this process have gone, so far, with Len’s assistance. Honestly, seamless! I only wish we had hired him sooner instead of wasting about a year with Boundless Immigration, which got us nowhere except more confused and feeling hopeless about the whole process. Thank you, Len, for everything you’ve done to help us get our lives on a forward track! Thanks to your help I was able to quit my other job where I was being hosted on a TN visa and miserable… I now have a new job doing something that I love, in the US, legitimately… there is less stress in our home and we are expecting our first baby together in the fall and looking forward to the rest of our lives together!!! All I can say is hire Len now, don’t waste any more time on online scams like Boundless. He’s the real deal!

Where other lawyers avoid troubled bail-out jobs, Len Saunders jumps in & resolves them.

I absolutely, positively recommend Len Saunders of Blaine Immigration. I moved from Vancouver BC a few years ago, obtaining TN status on my own and re-establishing my professional career in Seattle. After marrying and buying a home, I attempted the immigration process on my own, without a lawyer. ... After getting stumped by changes to the document submission process and encountering significant delays at the NVC, I realized that my own handling of the immigration process was a formidable mistake. I reached out to several Seattle lawyers that I found on Yelp. They all declined my case, citing that they didn't take on "bail-out" cases where the process had advanced to this stage. One laywer declined my case but not without first a lecture making mistakes. Another gave me incorrect information. I felt the impending doom of losing my work authorization, my job and income source, and jeopardizing my family financially. I emailed Len Saunders on the recommendation of another Canadian green card holder. Seeing the urgency, he called me back within 30 minutes, and immediately educated me about options that would allow me to carry on working legally in the US while waiting for my interview. This help saved me from a disastrous situation where I would have to leave the US. He told me that I could contact him whenever I had questions. The rest of the process proceeded with step-by-step advice and hand-holding from Len. It took the stress away, which is worth more than what money can by. He met me before my interview to review my info packet, to make sure I had the correct documents. He advised on which flight to take to Montreal, where to stay to be close to the new consulate location, and what proof of bona fide marriage to bring. He gave us his cell phone and informed us to call from Montreal whatever the issue encountered ("nevermind the time difference!"). He wanted to know right away if the interview had issues and help resolve them immediately. If I were to turn back time, I would have hired Len at the get-go because he is an lawyer who is "on the pulse", and clearly cares about his clients and his work. He knows the latest, the minutiae, and is an expert among immigration lawyers when it comes to Canadians immigrating to the US.

Very helpful and knowledgeable

We are and have been a client of Len for several years. He has been extremely helpful, supportive and accommodating. He always responds to our questions in a timely manner. We have introduced a few of our friends to his services. So far we have not encountered any problems.
