I couldn't have asked for a better Greencard experience.

From our initial consultation and throughout my application, Joseph was consistently thorough in his explanation of the process and always readily available. He made sure that I fully understood what was required of me in terms of paperwork and what every stage of putting my case together involved.... Joseph arranged a one on one session to prep my fully for my Greencard interview and to explain why they have the interviews and what was expected. After which I felt prepared and relaxed. I highly recommend him to anyone who requires a Visa.

The Best of The Best

I was introduced to Joe Adams through recommendation, after deciding I wanted to switch from an O1 Work Visa to Permanent Residency (Green Card). I arranged a meeting with Joe & instantly knew I wanted to start this process with him. Joe Adam’s worked on my Green Card application, & did an absolute...ly stellar job. He thoroughly explained everything that he & I needed to work on in order to make my case successful, he made me feel reassured & put my mind at ease, as this process can become somewhat overwhelming from time to time. Communication is vital in this process, & Joe was quick to respond to any of my queries or concerns, which in turn, made everything run so much smoother for me. My Green Card application was approved thanks to Joe. I would highly recommend him & his services to anyone who is in need.

Goes above and beyond - I wouldn't use anyone else!

I've been fortunate enough to use Joe's services for two O1's, setting up my LLC, and for my EB1 (Green Card) application, all of which he made extremely easy and as stress free as possible. He is always clear and honest about the process and procedures, and charges fairly for his work. Both O1's w...ent through quickly and easily, and the company set up was a breeze. After 5 years living and working in the US, I decided it was time to try to apply for a Green Card, which Joe once again made as simple as possible, and it was approved 4 days after the application was presented (I did pay for the USCIS premium service). Sadly while waiting for the actual GC to come through, my mother was taken extremely ill in the UK over the Christmas holidays, and I needed to return home. I emailed Joe at 9am the next morning morning, and he was straight on the phone to USCIS and my local Congressperson to seek assistance in getting me permission to travel, without jeopardizing my processing GC. It took a few days, but Joe was there every step of the way, and I was able to be at my mothers bedside a few days later. Amazingly, the Green Card came through a week later, which he Fedex'd to me immediately. I have many friends that have used other well known Immigration Attorneys within the LA Entertainment Industry, and every one of them has had issues, delays, surprise additional charges, and hiccups. I've recommended Joe to each of them, and those that have then gone on to hire him have had a much better experience than they had with the other more expensive lawyers. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Joe, and couldn't be happier with his services.

You will not go wrong choosing Joe

I want to thank Joe for helping me get my EB-1A petition and immigrant visa approved! He helped me through each process and was always responsive when I had questions. You will not go wrong choosing him for help with your visa cases.

Joe is a rare find among immigration attorneys. I got my citizenship through him, and it was flawless and smooth. Thank you for the help.
