Great lawyer for Citizenship advice

Mr.Mark is the best thing that ever happened to me, he was very knowledgeable , helpful, kind and most importantly he was very patient with all my questions I had. First I was so nur verse because English is my second language but He walked me through the whole process step by step so I can understan...d every single details for my citizenship. He even prepared sample test for the interview. I would strongly recommend him to everyone.

Great lawyer!

I hired Mark for my employment based green card application. First we talked on the phone as a free consultation session and then I hired him. He was very professional and excellent in communication. He guided me through the process and it felt very smooth. He gave me guidelines for the recommendatio...n letters and he told which documents I need to gather. He prepared a long and excellent cover letter which would have been a big stress if I had done it by myself. He finally prepared and submitted all the necessary forms. Later in the process, we had long conversations over the phone about how the interview would be. In general, he was always responding to any question I might have had very quickly and accurately. I am very happy to have worked with him and I highly recommend him.

Review of Mark Ople’s work for my NIW case

Mark was my lawyer from mid 2015 to mid 2017 representing me for my EB2 NIW case with USCIS. During that period he helped me greatly with assembling my EB2 NIW case; he was very helpful in composing my personal EB2 letter and the templates for the recommendation letters, as well as with all the other... documents. He was very helpful with every step and was always available for questions. My case eventually did get approved and I found Mark’s work overall very diligent and helpful. Mark was recommended to me by a colleague and I myself recommended Mark for two of my colleagues for NIW cases.

Best layer in San Diego

I came in US six years ago and a friend of mine recommended Mark as great immigration lawyer. Well she was right. He followed my green card case and let me became an US citizen after only 3 years after my marriage. Also my Dad came from Italy and Mark helped him to have the green card as well. I op...ened 2 restaurants since I'm in US and when my business partner need to request the E2 Business visa Mark once again was ready to fight for us and as usual he had great results. In only 2 months my partner Alessandro got the Visa! What can I say..... Mark is a man of his word and a great professional with great knowledge of the immigration laws. Of course after all these years and many cases he became family to me and all my family. I really recommend Mark and his great experience!!
