Gustavo made the immigration process easy to understand and follow through to the green card.

Best experience with our immigration case!

My husband and I hired Gustavo to help us through our immigration case after we got married in August of 2022. I was very intimidated with everything that needed to be done and all the paperwork that needed to be filed but, with Gustavo's help, everything was hassle free. Gustavo was very informative... and has expert knowledge when it comes to immigration law and processes. I think we made the best decision in hiring Gustavo and I don't think our case could have gone any smoother. Gustavo is incredibly responsive and informative. He kept us updated on everything every step of the way and always gave us an idea of what we should anticipate for next steps. We will continue to hire Gustavo for any future immigration needs and we highly recommend him to anyone who needs help through an immigration case!

Excelente abogado

Contratar a Gustavo para que llevara mi caso de Ajuste de Estatus por Matrimonio fue una excelente decisión! Gustavo es una persona muy responsable, atenta, confiable y sabe lo que está haciendo. Durante mi proceso siempre fue muy claro y transparente con todos los pasos a seguir , el tramite dur...ó exactamente lo que al principio él nos dijo que se iba a tardar ,siempre tuvimos muy buena comunicación y yo personalmente me sentí muy cómoda con sus servicios . Habla perfectamente inglés y español y se nota la gran experiencia laboral con la que cuenta. Definitivamente volvería a contratarlo en el futuro !

Beyond Grateful for Gustavo

Gustavo Cueva is an amazing immigration lawyer. My husband and I found him on Google after his first application was denied. We had been working on the first for many years on our own, and were feeling hopeless. Gustavo was very kind and got us in quickly. He reviewed the information from our prior c...ase and gave us a few options of how to proceed. We ended up filing a new application through our marriage. Gustavo went over the timeline and had a list of documents and things that we needed to gather. He made it very easy and was quick to answer all of our questions. When the state tried to push back, he didn't hesitate to reach out and explain next steps. He fought hard for us and our family and finally, we got an email from him letting us know my husband was approved for his green card. I cried tears of happiness and relief as I read that email. I immediately called my husband and read the email to him. That made our whole week!! Gustavo is great at communicating and making sure that you understand the process and what to expect. He speaks English and Spanish fluently and has so much expierence with this from his own personal story as well. He made it happen and will do all that he can for you if you decide to work with him. He also has payment plans if you are not able to pay in full. He is truly a wonderful person and I am forever grateful that we found him. Thank you Gustavo!!
