SUCCESS STORY

SUCCESS STORY My wife and I hired Gustavo to handle our adjustment of status case (Family Petition, Green Card, and Work Permit). We couldn’t be more satisfied with his professionalism, guidance, commitment, and dedication throughout the entire process. Our case moved very quickly and was full of em...otions, but both Gustavo and Deisi were always there to answer our questions and ease our concerns. We can now proudly say that we are U.S. Permanent Residents. We are truly grateful, and without a doubt, we highly recommend their services. CASO DE ÉXITO Mi esposa y yo contratamos a Gustavo para llevar nuestro caso de ajuste de estatus (Petición familiar, Green Card y Permiso de trabajo). No podríamos estar más satisfechos con su profesionalismo, asesoría, compromiso y dedicación en todo momento. Nuestro proceso fue muy rápido y lleno de emociones, pero tanto Gustavo como Deisi siempre estuvieron ahí para resolver nuestras inquietudes. Ahora podemos decir con alegría que somos residentes permanentes de los Estados Unidos. No nos queda más que agradecerles profundamente, y sin duda alguna, recomendamos ampliamente sus servicios.

Tremendous

Simply awesome. Astute, detailed oriented, and strategic. Was instrumental in getting our adjustment of status and citizenship applications approved in the shortest and least stressful way possible with great counsel and accurate & timely filings.

Very attentive

Our case took about 22 months, maybe a little more than what was expected. I am a U.S. citizen military member that helped give my parents their legal status. In this process, Gustavo and his team always answered our questions, I sincerely recommend him because he is an excellent professional attorne...y. I also want to take the their status. If you are looking for a good attorney, don’t look any further because he is the one for you.

A lawyer of the people

I will always be recommending Gustavo Cueva! From start to finish, he made the entire process of securing my mom's permanent residency smooth and stress free. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always answers our questions in a timely manner, no matter how big or small. His attention to det...ail and knowledge gave us confidence throughout the entire process. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, my mom is now a permanent resident, and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you're looking for a lawyer who truly cares about their clients and delivers results, look no further. I will also be recommending him to all of my military buddies as well, because they are able to use the parole in place program for their loved ones.

The BEST Lawyer in Washington

Our experience with Gustavo Cueva has been the greatest, he is fast with paperwork, organized, clean, and most importantly he was easy to communicate with. Gustavo Cueva and his team has given my mother the opportunity to see her family after 25 years. We are extremely satisfied with everything and ...would recommend to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer.
