Positive (2)

  • Positive from the community (Telegram)March 2026

    A family visa in administrative processing after an interview in Warsaw. The mandamus suit was filed in late November 2025; two months later the government asked to stay the case, and a few days after that a letter came from the embassy. The author liked the firm's work a lot: fast and client-focused.

  • Positive from the community (Telegram)July 2024

    Immigrant visas for two, processing after an interview in Montreal; the mandamus suit was filed around day 200. They took a long time to pick the firm: it is among the most expensive, but the response to the government's motion was included. The firm worked fast, replied within a day and kept them informed, and the visas were approved two days before the government's deadline. The author notes that getting money back if the visa comes earlier is almost impossible.

Negative (2)

  • Negative from the community (Telegram) unverifiedNovember 2025

    A mandamus suit for an EB-1A and a tourist visa was filed in December 2024. While the suit was being drafted the firm sent daily progress updates, but the government moved to dismiss, and in summer 2025 the court found the reasonable waiting time had not yet passed. After that the firm sent a letter by post and did not answer the question about a second suit.

  • Negative from the community (Telegram) unverifiedMarch 2025

    The author wrote to the firm over a messenger, and they declined the case right away, after asking again what he had already written in the first message.
