Helped us quickly and efficiently to adjust status and receive our Green Card

Margaret and her team at Cascadia are very knowledgable with immigration issues. She helped us feel comfortable and reassured during the whole process which lasted about 10 months from the time we first contacted her about changing our immigration status from tourist to permanent resident until the t...ime we received the Green Card. Though we had done some research and considered trying to do this work on our own, there were many additional forms and methods for completing this process that Cascadia helped us with and ensured that the immigration process went as quickly and smoothly as possible. We thank Margaret and everyone at Cascadia for their help and would be happy to recommend them to anyone going through the immigration process.

Attorney Stock is an EXCELLENT lawyer!

My children and I moved to the US in 2019 as I met my husband here and got married. After not getting any closer to the green card in 1.5 years of submitting documents, I realized that we need help from a knowledgeable person. It turned out that it was necessary to present different applications for ...my children I did not know about. At first my husband and I came for consultation and were given so much extra helpful information. But the most important feeling I’ve got from my attorney - confidence - she not only knows immigration law, but she loves it and she definitely enjoys being a lawyer. This is kind of expert I want to have by my side. Communication was fast and clear, all the staff was extremely welcoming and supportive. I am grateful to attorney Stock for her job and for getting us to the point of receiving green cards smoothly and confidently. I would definitely recommend working with her. Also, I bet many people might be “on hold” because of the hourly charges of $500 per hour. However, our bill was more than reasonable because other lawyers ($250 per hour) or paralegals ($75 per hour) In the office are working on the documents too. I am very grateful for provided legal services and the outcome my family received.

Par Excellence!!

Growing up I have been bedeviled by behavioral problems which at times drew the attention of law enforcement. It was reasonable to expect that my petition for naturalization could not be decided without close scrutiny of my history. A case such as mine called for representation by a law firm staffed... by experienced immigration attorneys who are knowledgeable, hard-hitting, tough-as-nails, resourceful and unafraid of the ton of research and legal briefs necessary to be highly effective advocates. I chanced upon an interview on the radio in 2017 or 2018 of a Lt Col (Rtd) Margaret Stock by an NPR correspondent. I picked up on the fact that the Colonel was also at one time, a West Point professor and an Immigration Attorney based out of Anchorage Alaska. She had spearheaded a program named MAVNI a few years before, during the Bush administration, to recruit legal non-immigrants possessing foreign language and/or medical skills into the military. Recruits were promised a fast track to citizenship at the end of their tours of duty. Attorney Stock was expressing dismay to the interviewer at efforts of the then administration to put obstacles in the path of deserving members of the military to get citizenship. My first impressions of Attorney Stock then was that she is a compassionate, principled person and a woman of great integrity who does not countenance injustice and is not afraid to speak up. I decided to look her up online and to seek representation. It took a few months for me to summon the nerve to call. But eventually I did. Attorney Stock agreed to take on my case after a prequalification interview. When fact finding commenced, no stone was left unturned over several months in completing the daunting task of meticulously assembling a mountain of supporting documentation - some decades old - which was to be submitted with my N-400 application. An immigration firm must of necessity possess considerable resources and reach in order to meet the challenges of such a burden. Cascadia Cross-Border Law is such a firm. It was a disappointment when the N-400 petition was initially denied. However, why would I have retained counsel if I hadn’t considered this a distinct possibility? Attorney Stock and her very able associate Attorney Stearns took the denial in stride and wasted no time regrouping to strategize the best way forward. Attorney Stock assured me that all would be well eventually - that the setback could and would be overcome on legal grounds. With that, a masterfully crafted legal brief was prepared to launch an appeal at an N-336 hearing. The case was so impressively argued that the hearing USCIS officer would have had to be impervious to reason or willfully dismissive of the law to rule against us. Even though my admission for permanent residency decades prior was brought into question at the hearing, it was insufficient to overcome our robust argument in urging a reversal of the N-400 denial. Our case had merit and was rock solid. Weeks later, we learned that the denial had indeed been overturned . I was scheduled to take the Oath of Allegiance at a naturalization ceremony. Against considerable odds, the very fine Attorneys and staff of Cascadia Cross-Border Law under the leadership of Attorney Stock, had successfully navigated treacherous waters and secured citizenship for a very , very grateful immigrant. I have since discovered that Attorney Stock is one of the nation’s foremost immigration experts and is frequently sought after as an expert witness by Congress. Dear immigrant, if your case is hopeless, Cascadia Cross-Border Law possesses the integrity to tell it to you like it is, and suggest an alternate path. If there’s reason to be hopeful, and there’s a path forward despite difficult circumstances, you cannot do better than to retain Cascadia Cross-Border Law and the inimitable Attorney Margaret Stock to fight your fight. I rest my case.

Best Immigration Attorney

Margaret is an excellent attorney. She helped my stepfather get a green card after we received a denial notice from the Immigration Services. She is easy to work with and always responds promptly to all emails. We had a fantastic experience working with her and her team. I would recommend her to anyo...ne needing help with Immigration matters.

Best attorney you can ever find

Attorney Stock helped me with my naturalization case, which was denied twice before. Needless to say that this time around everything went smoothly and I was sworn in as a citizen on the same day as my interview. Attorney Stock is highly professional, very detail oriented, and your best advocate. I...f one is lucky enough to be represented by attorney Stock, she will get you the best possible results depending on specifics of the case. I would highly recommend her.
