US Citizen requesting an immigrant visa for our adopted daughter

Attorney Stefanie Parchment represented me in our Immigration Family Petition case as US Citizen requesting an immigrant visa for our adopted daughter, who was residing outside the US. Mrs Stephanie Parchment is a very knowledgeable, bilingual and caring attorney, always available on the phone or ...email, responding very promptly to our queries, with affordable costs. Our case involved a very long time of continuous contacts with the different US governmental agencies and Consulate, filling forms, affidavits, and providing a great deal of documents, which ultimately lead to successfully obtaining a Resident Visa for my daughter. We are very grateful to Mrs Parchment. We really felt that she had our best interests at heart.

Immigration process well explained and executed

Stephanie was key in our immigration process as she went the "extra-mile" by working against time pressure and deadlines we had to meet before she took our case. She was diligent and very careful when explaining each steps we needed to take and all the paper work we had to get done to make sure tha...t we had the littlest risk. The process was a success both in time requirements and results.

Letter from a greatful heart

After 13 years of being in the United States I was finally able to apply for my green card. Once the excitement wore off and I finally realized that I have to begin the paper work. I became over whiling nervous of the entire process. After speaking with Stefanie and being comforted in knowing that I... would have someone walking with me through the application process, I was at peace. Stefanie never judged me or my family for the situation we were in, I never felt rushed and anything that I was uncertain about she took time to explain to me. One time she even drove to my house to help me with gathering some information, I don’t know of any lawyers that would do that. Stefanie truly is amazing person and it is reflected through her career. She has a strong eye for detail accompanied with a fun loving personality. If I had to do it all over again I would change nothing because I received the top quality service by the greatest immigration lawyer in Florida.
