Visa Received!

I was sponsored under the F4 category by my brother. After so many years of waiting, my family and I were finally called to the U.S. Consulate for our immigrant visa interview. However, like a bolt from the blue, I received an OF-194 form regarding issues related to the Communist Party and was requir...ed to file an I-601 waiver application. At a complete loss, not knowing what to do or when I would ever be reunited with my family in the United States, my husband found the Open Door U.S. Immigration Law Office and we received a consultation from Attorney Mark Fridman, a dedicated lawyer who patiently listened as I explained everything: my personal history, my work background, and asked the most important and critical questions related to my involvement with the Communist Party. Attorney Mark stood by me throughout the entire process, and ultimately, thanks to his expertise and extensive experience, today my husband, my children, and I have officially received our immigrant visas to the United States and are reunited with our entire family. I am overjoyed that what I had longed for has finally become a reality, despite all the emotions, tears, and ups and downs along the way. I write these words hoping that anyone facing the same situation will feel confident reaching out to Attorney Mark and Open Door for dedicated assistance, an immigration law office with a highly experienced and knowledgeable U.S. immigration attorney. I am truly fortunate and grateful beyond words.

EB-3

Mark handled our EB-3 PERM labor certification application and I-140 petition for a much needed employee. I think he did a great job. He kept us constantly informed and proactively provided a lot of advice that was invaluable. It was a totally different experience from previous attorneys our company ...worked with. I'm more than happy to recommend him to everyone in need of a highly experience immigration attorney.

Helpful

We were really anxious about our immigration case because of some strange things with our documents. Since Mark's office is in HCMC and he works mostly on Vietnamese people's cases he had a lot of experience with our type of case and understood exactly how to present the situation to the government s...o everything went smoothly with no problems. Everything happened exactly how he said it would happen so we were very prepared. I'm really grateful for his hard work and would highly recommend him to help you with your case. I was referred to Mark by a friend who had been denied a visa and he helped her get an approval, so I think he is really helpful.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
