5 Stars to The Best Immigration Law Firm for Getting My Husband’s Green Card Approved in 2 Months!!! Choosing the right immigration lawyer was a pivotal decision for us, and working with Attorney Lelia Adams at Essien Law Firm in Phoenix turned out to be a decision I will forever cherish. Our initial meeting with Attorney Adams immediately set the tone for a remarkable journey through the complexities of Family-Based Immigration, Green Card Marriage Adjustment of Status, and Work Authorization for my husband. Her deep understanding and clear explanations made an otherwise stressful process feel manageable and less intimidating. The journey started when, burdened with the uncertainty of our future and the exhaustive routine of flying back and forth to be together, my husband and I stumbled upon a life-altering video by a family-based immigration lawyer. Attorney Adams insightful presentation on the do's and dont's of immigration law captured our attention, and we were SOLD

 
Green Cards

In less than 30 days after filing our documents, I received my Work Authorization! The work authorization permits me to obtain my driver’s license and start working. Lelia and her Staff even took care of my social security number application. Green Card Approved in Two (2) Months! As we celebrated this milestone, an even more astonishing development occurred when I received a notification from USCIS that my family- based petition forms I-130 and Green Card had been approved! USCIS acknowledge the receipt of our petition form Essien Law Firm in June. Last week I received my work authorization and today I received the notification of Green Card Approval. Another approval in 2 months, without even having to attend an Immigration Marriage Based interview at USCIS, we had secured the approval of my Green Card. This miraculous turnaround is a testament to what the best Phoenix immigration law firm (Essien law Firm) can achieve, and we wholeheartedly recommend Lelia Adams

I am extremely grateful for the quality of legal representation I received from Essien Law Firm. I presented my Asylum case to attorney Lelia Adams in April 2023. She conducted a very thorough interview to gather all the necessary information. Despite the complexity of the case, she guided me through the entire process from the initial consultation to the completion of the application. From the onset, Lelia demonstrated extensive knowledge for my case, her attention to detail is impressive, she is very patient, diligent and passionate. Her ability to clearly explain the process was particularly valuable. Her Assistant Alyssa was courteous, very professional in communication and her welcome at the law firm was impressive. Thanks to Lelia for her exceptional expertise and guidance, I received my EAD and SSN. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking an immigration lawyer, you will be in the capable hands of a very competent attorney.

My wife and I were very happy to find and use Essien Law firm for our immigration case! We weren’t sure if we should apply for a K1 visa, adjustment of status or what and definitely didn’t know how to navigate those processes. Lellia was profoundly helpful in advising about what to do based on our circumstances. Once she had taken our case, she fought for us and went above and beyond. She was meticulous and required exactness and it turned out for very good reason! UCIS stalled our application and asked that we reapply claiming incorrectly that we missed information which would have set us back months. Lellia was able to quickly correct the situation and we were so grateful! My wife has her green card now and the best endorsement I can give is that we would gladly use Essien Law again!

Lelia has been tentative and precise in handling our green card case. When explaining certain scenarios or answering our questions, she makes it her intent to thoroughly break down her response such that we can understand her clearly. My wife and I can see her passion and determination to help us gain my wife’s green card, so we are blessed that we have contacted her! We would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help.
