Diversity visa

I would give a 5 star for the services provided by Ostrom & Peterson, LLC. They are so efficient, dedicated and very quick at answering emails/phones in situations where I had questions/concerns about my paper work.. I didn't have enough time as my diversity number come out late. It come out in Aug...ust which meant I had until September 30th for the paper work to go through. We started on working on my paper work in early August and by September 15, my green card was approved! Over all , I had a great experience having Craig represent me on my case and I would definitely recommend anyone to him. He's great!!!!

Green Card application

I have used Craig Peterson for my American green card application and I have only positive words for the work he and his office have done for me. Applying for an American green card can be very complicated with a lot of paper work to fill out and documentation to find from your hiding places – the...se documents will sometimes have to be translated from your own language to English. Craig Peterson guided me through the entire process in a very simple way that made the whole process very simple and fast. I can only highly recommend using Craig Peterson as your immigration lawyer.

Excellent knowledge on immigration

We have worked closely with Craig over many years with H-1B's, L-1's, and employment-based permanent residence cases. Craig is very professional, has perfectly guided us through a number of immigration matters, and is always very helpful. We use Craig exclusively for our immigration needs and would c...ertainly recommend him to any other organizations looking for a genuine immigration expert.

I would definitely recommend him!

I contacted Craig for processing the permanent residency for me and my wife. My case was an outstanding professor (EB-1) case. He was always very professional and very approachable especially when dealing with issues during the process. At some point, I traveled outside the US and forgot to bring the... green card with me. He explained me the different options I could be given by the immigration officer once arriving to the US but most importantly he gave a peace of mind. That was very helpful!
