Leonard Douglas M Saunders

Oringinally back in 2014, after my son was born with my then husband, I had initially begun the process to sponsor them both for their American Perm Res Card. We are all Canadians and I had my Green Card already thru my first husband, (no kids with him). The lawyer I had hired in Los Angeles was Ala...n Klein. We started the paperwork for my son and husband, in California, for them to have residency in the US. I had taken the "one time furlough" of 2 years, where you are allowed to reside in another country other than the one you hold a Perm Card to. 2 years earlier, I had went back to Canada, and had my son in this time. My 2 years was up Nov 2016. Feb 2016, I find out my husband is having an affair. By June 2016, I found a new home in Point Roberts WA, that was affordable and would now solve my problem of living back in the US (because my son's father would not allow me to return to L.A with him). With great swiftness, I cancelled, or should I say "abandoned" his application. My son's application, however was still processing thru. I made several calls to Mr. Klein to check in, see how things were rolling along, and if any updates. Every time, I got the same answers. "Everything is coming along nicely Ms. Varnes". Let me be clear about the one major bit of info I SHOULD HAVE HAD from Mr. Klein....When my son turned 2, I (he) was eligible and could have simply crossed the border with my son and our paperwork and he would have gotten his Perm Card immediately and for free. So as the time rolled on, and by this point it was taking waaay too long for even his Advanced Parole to come. I called Mr. Klein again. I actually got to speak to him, and when I asked how things were coming along, he responded in anger, and disgusting tone like I was wasting his time. He said he did not care, and proceeded to tell me about his Mother passing away and basically what I got out of it is that he lost all professionalism and was having some kind of mental breakdown. The point with Mr. Klein. He did NOTHING!!!!! He sent nothing in, never even got started and lied to me basically for 2 years! Once in Point Roberts WA, I started searching around for a new immigration lawyer. Someone with integrity, pride in his work and professionalism. I found Len Saunders thru mutual friends. This is how he helped me... *Len immediately did my son's reapplication for Perm Res. Also adding that now our new residence was WA state, no longer CA state. *As my divorce entered the Family Courts, just before hand, my ex husband made an attempt thru the Hague Convention to terminate my sons PR application, claiming international abduction. This was a farce and a huge abuse of the Convention, however he did get me to Supreme Court. The Master called to "suspend" my sons application. (So I did nothing as it was later reviewed as " Well did the Master "terminate" the application or just suspend it? or cancel it? It was unclear.) *In the meantime of this happening, my sons final meeting was schedualed for July 5th with USCIS in Seattle WA. My second appearance in Supreme Court was July 15th. *I went to my USCIS meeting with a letter from Len Saunders to my Officer at USCIS explaining in detail the very depths of my situation and that I just needed more time to try and salvage the Perm Res card application for my son at the Supreme Hearing. I was granted an extention. *Side note...Len was always willing and available to come defend me in Supreme Court if needed, however at this point my Family Lawyer took over this end, thou they consulted often together. *I won in Supreme Court. My son was now allowed his Green Card. Leonard Saunders not only stuck by my side in all its ups and downs, and hair pulling moments. Len went above and beyond and never charged me extra. He gave me his rate, and his word and stuck to it until the job was done. Thank you Thank you <3

Len was recommended to me, and I was very lucky to have been put in contact with him. He is an all-around good guy who knows exactly what to do. When we first met, I was having trouble getting across the border. I was trying to go through the immigration process on my own using internet resources. Th...is was a big mistake because the process never goes exactly as planned. He was there to advocate for me, and without Len, I would not have been able to attend my own wedding! I was SO grateful for his expertise, and (more importantly) so was my wife. Since then, he has been there for me at every step along the way of my green card process, and I will undoubtedly continue working with Len when it comes time to apply for my citizenship. He was never more than a call or email away, and always gets back to me with answers to all of my questions. If you're moving to the US, you want Len working on your behalf.

Len helped me to renew my green card in a very professional, efficient and timely manner. My case was very unique and complicated but the whole process was very smooth thanks to Len. I got my green card in just 6 months. He was always there for me, he even drove to DMV office on his day off to help m...e obtain USA state ID. He was always one call away whenever I had a question about my case even a stupid one. I would highly recommend his service, he goes above and beyond to help you!

Len went to bat for me. I got a 5 year ban for doing nothing wrong and Len went to work. Got my waiver for me and made multiple trips to the border whenever I had problems. After the 5 years was up and no longer needed a waiver Len still went to the border to make sure they made a note that they had ...screwed up and not me. I have never had a problem at the border again because of Len. I have sent 4 other people to him and they are all happy with his work. Love the guy.

Leonard Saunders far exceed my expectations by taking a situation where my girlfriend was barred from the country for 6 months to the happy outcome of my girlfriend getting her TN visa 2 days later. The details are below but to sum up now, if you’re having an immigration problem near Blaine, Washing...ton, you need to call Leonard Saunders. My Canadian girlfriend was hired for an accounting job in Seattle. On a Thursday she went up to the US border with a letter to apply for her TN visa. She was denied since she had forgotten her original diplomas and they had some issues about the TN letter. Also, she was denied a visitor entry because she no longer had ties to Canada since she was anticipating starting work in Seattle and had been staying with me for a week. However, she still was paying for her Canadian apartment until the end of the month and had been living there for years. She called me and I drove up with her diplomas. It was unclear what was wrong with the TN letter so I naively drove her back to the border to find out what we needed. This was a mistake because the border guards took it as a second attempt to enter, would not let me say anything, told her she was now barred from the country for 6 months and threaten to throw her in immigration detention if she tried to enter again. She was told she may not be allowed back in even after 6 months and would not get a TN visa. Both of us were shocked. I stayed up most of the night online researching what just happened. We slept little that night and decided she needed to get a place and a job in Vancouver for at least 6 months. I thought the best I would be able to do was schedule an appointment to meet an attorney the following week. However, the next day I called twice and eventually spoke with an attorney in Seattle who recommended Leonard (Len, not sure of spelling) Saunders. I immediately called Len, he asked a few questions and agreed to meet us Saturday morning in Canada. Len, was professional, friendly, and from his questions and comments, obviously was the guy we needed. Len reviewed our TN letter and put us to work gathering ties and equities for the last 6 months. While we were busy gather data he went to the border to find out more information on why my girlfriend was denied entry and a TN visa. Len met us again at 4pm on Saturday to review our paperwork. He asked us more questions, reviewed our paperwork and arranged to tentatively attempt to get the visa again the next morning. On Sunday morning my girlfriend met Len at the border and Len stayed with her for 2 hours as she again applied for her TN visa. All of Len’s help paid off and she was granted her visa. Not only did Len get my girlfriend’s TN visa and fix the problem over the weekend, he only charged us half price since he did not have draft a new TN letter. Both my girlfriend and I are extremely grateful to Len for going far beyond what is normal and helping us through this difficult time.
