Reviews
What families say about working with us, in their own words, and honest examples of how cases have gone, including the hard ones.
Reviews come from past clients and describe their own experience. They are not a promise or prediction about your case. Names are shortened for privacy.
“Grace explained our interview in plain words and told us exactly what to bring. We still got an RFE, and she had the response ready within a week. Calm the whole way.”
“Me explicaron todo en español y nunca me prometieron fechas falsas. Mi mamá todavía espera, pero sé exactamente dónde está su caso.”
In English: They explained everything in Spanish and never promised me false dates. My mom is still waiting, but I know exactly where her case stands.
“The flat fee was the fee. No surprise bills. The embassy took a long time, and they were honest that nobody could make that part go faster.”
“I was nervous about an old arrest. Erik pulled the court records before we filed and walked me through how to answer. Nothing at the interview surprised me.”
“Me mandan un mensaje antes de que se abra mi ventana de renovación. Desde que estoy con ellos no he tenido ningún hueco en mi permiso.”
In English: They text me before my renewal window opens. Since I have been with them, I have not had a gap in my work permit.
“They told me the truth: my sister's wait could be more than ten years. Hard to hear, but better than someone who says "soon" and takes your money.”
“Nuestro primer perdón fue negado. Marisol leyó la carta con nosotros, nos dijo qué faltaba y volvimos a presentar con mucho más cuidado.”
In English: Our first waiver was denied. Marisol read the letter with us, told us what was missing, and we refiled with much more care.
“Every letter from USCIS, they explained within a day. I always knew what the next step was and who was responsible for it.”
“They put our I-751 date on their calendar two years ahead and called us the week the window opened. We did not have to remember anything.”
Example outcomes describe past matters in general terms, with details changed to protect privacy. Every case is different. They are not a promise or prediction of your result. We include the cases that went badly, because you deserve to see those too.
Example outcome
Marriage green card
Situation: A couple married 14 months, with separate bank accounts and a short courtship.
What happened: USCIS sent a Request for Evidence about shared finances. We answered with a joint lease, insurance records and a sworn letter explaining their budget. Approved after a second interview.
Example outcome
K-1 fiancé visa
Situation: A U.S. citizen engaged to someone living abroad.
What happened: The petition was approved, but the embassy took many months to schedule the interview. Nothing we could file would speed that part. The visa was issued and the couple married inside the 90 days.
Example outcome
Sibling petition
Situation: A U.S. citizen petitioning for her brother in a high-demand country.
What happened: The petition was approved years ago. Her brother is still waiting for his priority date in the Visa Bulletin. We check it every month and keep the file current.
Example outcome
Citizenship
Situation: A client who filed on his own before calling us.
What happened: His first application was denied: a trip of nearly eight months had broken his continuous residence. We waited until he was eligible again and refiled with the travel explained. Approved at the second interview.
Example outcome
Provisional waiver
Situation: A family whose case depended on an I-601A waiver.
What happened: The first waiver was denied because the hardship evidence did not meet the standard. We refiled with medical records and a professional evaluation. The second filing is still pending.
Example outcome
DACA renewal
Situation: A client who came to us after his DACA grant had already expired.
What happened: We filed that week. The renewal was approved, but his work permit lapsed for several weeks first. It is the reason we now text every client 150 days out.
Example outcome
Adjustment of status
Situation: A couple hoping to file for a green card inside the U.S.
What happened: Our record review found an old removal order the spouse did not know about. Filing would have put him at risk. We declined the case and referred them to a removal defense attorney first.
Tell us what is happening. We will tell you honestly what we think, including when the answer is to wait or to see a different kind of lawyer.
