Highly recommend Lina, grateful for her help

Lina’s depth of expertise in immigration law helped me and my spouse navigate through the green card application process. Lina’s willingness to connect with us frequently and answer all of our questions helped us stay calm during times of uncertainty, considering the extra challenges and complication...s brought on by the global pandemic. Lina also helped ensure we were thoroughly prepared for every step in the process. We could not be more grateful that we were able to work with Lina through what ultimately became a successful green card application process.

Lina the best immigration attorney ever!!!

I had to change my expired F1 status to permanent resident through marriage. Me and my wife were blessed to come in contact with Lina! Lina was very friendly, jovial and professional, she knew her onions. She Assisted with filling and provided answers to every possible question we had before consu...lting her. On our interview day she prepared us mentally and emotionally Thanks to prep, the interview went smoothly than we could have ever imagine. More like a chat session than what I had earlier envisaged which was great! Slightly over one month after my interview, I got a mail with my green card! I'll recommend Lina a million times over and She's very timely with reverts. Thanks Lina you are the best!!!

Naturalization Success

Lina really helped me out after I filed for naturalization by myself and it was rejected and returned to me. I was worried that I wasnt going to get my citizenship because of mistakes I had made on my original application. When I went to her office she immediately started reviewing my application and... why it was denied. Within the hour we had figured out a solution and she told me exactly how to handle the situation with her direction. She assured me that she would go through the process with me and would be available whenever I needed her. This made me confident that she would make sure that everything would work out. When she filed the papers for me, the application got approved and I had a date for the interview. I didn't want to make any mistakes again so I talked to her about how I was going to handle the interview. Again she gave me great advice and today I am a citizen! I can't thank her enough for everything that she did. It made me less nervous knowing that I had hired someone who knows what they are doing and I have even recommended my friends to her. Thank you God bless.

PERFECT SERVICE(Adjustment of Status through marriage)

Shortly after our wedding, my wife and I were lucky to have Lina Shayo as our lawyer to file for my wife’s change of status. It was a wonderful experience right from when the processing started till the end due to Lina Shayo’s perfect knowledge of the Subject matter (Immigration cases). Her dedicati...on and good customer service skill were contributing factors to the success of the case. She was so informative and was able to guide ,monitor, assist and counsel us through each phase of the case, with the paper work and finally going in for the interview, which was a success. All thanks to The Almighty God and Lina’s support, today my wife have her Permanent Green Card(conditional) all within a year of case filling. Lina is indeed a good lawyer. She’s more like a family friend than a lawyer, because she will try to take away your fear and give you courage to sail through. Lina Shayo gave us an excellent service at reasonable price, we therefore highly recommend her as a perfect lawyer for any type of immigration case . She is indeed an expert in the field, we love and appreciate her.
