On October of 2023 my partner and I utilized Immigration Advocacy Services in Astoria NY, to obtain my … read more husband’s permanent residency.
From the beginning, my experience with Immigration Advocacy Services was amazing. Jennifer was very professional and communicated clearly throughout the process. I particularly appreciated how she promptly responded to my queries and provided detailed explanations for each step. Jennifer was very patience with all the phone calls and repetitive questions we asked. This level of dedication and attention to detail reassured me that I was in good hands. Our interaction with Jennifer was superb. We were pleased with the efficiency and thoroughness of the service, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
Overall, my husband and I were satisfied. He got his residency before our planned vacation.
My husband and I would recommend their services to others needing assistance with immigration-related matters.
Very Respectfully,

He highly recommends this establishment. He came here for a green card renewal. He worked with Valentina, who was professional, efficient, and approachable. She was able to quickly and effectively solve his issues with the renewal and was very detailed and cordial in answering all of his questions. He was extremely pleased with the service here! -
I was referred by a friend to Immigration Advocacy Services. And I’m so grateful I came here. They know … read more what they are doing, and helped me to stay grounded during this stressful process. It honestly couldn’t be better. I felt the sense of mission they are carrying with their work, and just knowing that gave me lots of confidence. They won’t skim you or take advantage. They are on their game and know what they are talking about. I couldn’t recommend this place more.
