    Possibly the most dedicated, attentive and knowledgeable team I have had the pleasure of working with. … read more Jack Gilmore managed our case and he made the immigration application process so streamlined and such a pleasant experience. His attention to detail and the right professional guidance made what is normally a complicated, drawn out process so much smoother.

All in all, I strongly recommend the Immigration Advocacy Services, especially working with Jack.

    IASNY in Astoria was the best choice we made to help with our immigration process. We worked with Geetu … read more and she is fantastic. Answered every question, even when we asked multiple times, very patient, diligent, took care of every detail and was pleasant to work with every time we met or spoke. Geetu prepared us for every possibility from the beginning all the way through prepping for the interview process and we felt so prepared for all of it. This is a difficult process to navigate on your own and well worth the money (very reasonable) given all the support they provide. She holds a special place in our lives forever - more than she knows. Mr. Meloni is great too and we are so grateful for this wonderful organization he built and the services they offer. Special place, special people, doing the most important work. Thank you so much for what you do.

    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.
