The complexity of U.S. immigration law

Ivanne is amazing! Not only does Ivanne understand the complexity of immigration law, her ability to navigate, communicate clearly and provide clear and productive outcomes, has allowed me to obtain my Green Card without complication. I highly recommend Ivanne and her team.

Ivanne is an excellent professional and human being. She helped my husband and I apply to a change of status. She was always very helpful and held our hand across the process, always facilitating our lives in every step of the way. The process went smoothly and fast and we got our paperwork within 3 months after finishing applying. I've recommended Ivanne to several friends and members of my family.

Amazing job

I have never felt so secure as I did this time, with this attorney. She was always on top of everything. I had a very, very difficult case with immigration in San Diego. They sent me a letter saying I had to leave the country within 90 days. When I thought there was nothing left to do, I met Ivanne. She was outstanding. In a very short time, I got my 10-year green card because of her. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. Thank you for everything.

Common questions

What people ask before scheduling a consultation.

  • Will I work directly with the attorney?

    Most clients work directly with Ivanne throughout the representation, from the initial consultation through the preparation and filing process.

  • How long does an initial consultation take?

    About thirty minutes. The firm uses that time to understand the situation, identify the most likely pathway, and explain timing and cost. Most clients leave with a clear next step.

  • Do you handle cases in French?

    Yes. Ivanne is French and American-trained, and she works with francophone clients in their native language at every step, from the first call to the final approval.

  • What if my case is unusual or complicated?

    Most immigration cases have something unusual about them. The firm's preparation work tends to surface those details early so they can be addressed in the filing rather than in a later Request for Evidence.
