My husband and I had a meeting at IAS with Mr. Meloni about our marriage based green card process and … read more I can't recommend this firm enough to other people! Mr. Meloni was incredibly helpful, kind and funny. He listened to all of our questions carefully and gave us specific answers. To top it all off, IAS was very affordable, which combined with the amazing service, shows that everyone at this firm genuienly cares about helping people 🙂

This place looked nice at first and gave confidence because there were many people in consultation but … read more Maggie's attention was uncomfortable and unpleasant because despite being Hispanic, being from Argentina, she made discriminatory and out of place comments about the history of my country. Sincerely, I would not come back even if it was free.

Immigration Advocacy is so efficient and helpful. We worked with Olga and she was always there to answer … read more our questions and give us the best advice for the best outcome. She was thorough with the paperwork and always called us with any updates to make sure we were well informed. We absolutely loved working with her and we are so grateful for all of her help. All other staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. We would STRONGLY recommend using their services. Reasonably priced and as long as you work honestly with them, you will get amazing results. My husband and I just had the interview for his green card and he got approved, thanks to immigration advocacy!
