Thank you so much

Thank you so much Ilona, Denis, Arthur, Kirill and all others who helped us. We found Ilona's office last January after our case was denied 3 times (during 3.5 years) , our former lawyer said we had no chance to stay here. Our friends gave us Ilona's number and they said if Ilona says yes it means ye...s. These amazing people helped us to reopen our case , helped us to transfer our case from NC to NY. And last Tuesday our case was granted ?? no words to explain our feelings!!! Denis was with us in court. He is the truly the best !!! Thanks you so much for everything you did for us !!! We will always recommend Ilona and Denis and everyone who works with them . They are very professional. Ilona always respond to my emails during first 30 minutes. Or if we had a question and I called to the office Ilona's assistant Kirill could tell me everything I needed. These people know what to do! Anastasia

The best immigration lawyer hands down... read on to find out why

Ilona is the true professional in every sense of the word. In my opinion, she is what a real practitioner of the law swears in to be. Let me explain what I mean. Handling an immigration case for a client is a very delicate matter that bears a ton of responsibility. One simple mistake and the perso...n's fate is sealed (oftentimes, in a terrible way). By definition, an immigration lawyer is not the one who merely fills in the required forms and mails the package to the designated address to allow a US CIS officer to take it from there. This is a paralegal's territory. A true immigration lawyer approaches a case as if it is a "murder case" with no evidence left behind and relying only on her talent, deep knowledge of law, and ability to intuit, sleuth and deduce. An that is what Ilona does, and that is what she did for me. She was able to successfully resolve my case (a virtually impossible case, I should note) of changing status from M-1 to B-1 and then to F-1, after which I was able to obtain my green card. I highly recommend this brilliant and hard working lawyer to anyone with any immigration situation, complicated or not. Trust me, there is always a way to solve a case, even the most deadbeat ones. There is always some loophole, new statute, or "addendum" to a law that can be found and utilized given your case ends up in the hands of the right legal practitioner. Ilona is such a practitioner.
