My experience with Jessica has been great. She took all the stress and anxiety out of the process of applying for a marriage green card. My husband (green card holder) and I (Russian citizen) began the application process in April 2021, and we just received my green card in the mail (June 2022). Despite the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and my husband not being a US citizen, the whole process took us just a bit more than a year. And my green card was approved without the interview, which was truly amazing. All thanks to Jessica and her wide understanding of immigration policies! Not only she gave me the confidence I needed, she was also very knowledgeable, skilled, intelligent and sincerely caring. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer.

Jessica went above and beyond with our case (green card based on marriage) and there's no one else I would want to work or continue working with other than her. It is difficult to find a lawyer that you can connect with and know from the very beginning that you can trust but that wasn't the case with Jessica. From our very first call, she was extremely knowledgeable and clear about the process, documents needed, timelines, etc. She has always been super responsive, kind and clear with answers to my hundreds of constant questions. I know that in her I can trust to take care of any immigration related questions or needs I have, and definitely wouldn't recommend anyone else other than her. It has really been great working with her and definitely continue working with her in the future with any needs I have in this lengthy and never ending immigration path.

I hired Jessica to help me through my Green Card application. She was very thorough and cooperative, answering all questions promptly. She's not only a very experienced and professional attorney but a very kind person that understood my concerns at every step of the way. I will not hesitate to hire her again for my Citizenship application. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you again Jessica!

Jessica was easy and wonderful to work with. She was always available and very responsive whenever I had questions or concerns and was able to navigate our case through the nuances so that by the time we filed everything was in order. She made the process extremely easy and organized and I would highly recommend her! We will be using her again for our eventual Citizenship case.

Jessica helped us with our marriage based green card process, and she was wonderful to work with! A few things that stood out: - She's highly responsive to emails; you can expect a speedy response at any time - She's very organized and makes the process super easy. She's clearly very experienced and has things down to a formula basically. She uses very clear checklists and guidelines when putting together paperwork so we're not confused or overwhelmed by anything. When we went in for our actual interview, there was nothing that surprised us, she prepped us so well and had everything covered! - Our process was actually unique in that with the first submission of our application, the immigration office lost one of our files (totally their mistake) and rejected us erroneously. Jessica was really quick to help us re-submit, and then push for an expedition based on USCIS error, which actually did result in our overall case being approved much earlier than the standard. She stayed on top

Jessica is fantastic and we cannot recommend her enough. We recently went through the immigration process and my husband received his green card after about a year. While going through the immigration process can be overwhelming and challenging, Jessica helped make the process very straightforward and easy to follow. She is highly organized, incredibly professional, and provided very clear guidance on everything. We had no issues at all and received my husbands green card quite easily.

Jessica helped my husband and I on our year long spousal green card journey which we received the green card in the mail this week and what I can tell you is that we are so grateful for Jessica's help and she is the absolute best. Jessica made us feel comfortable, she was very personable, very kind, very knowledgeable about immigration and she explained the entire process thoroughly to us. Jessica was tremendously helpful through each and every step along the way of this crazy journey. Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable about the process, but she was very organized, very professional, very detail-oriented, and thorough. Anytime I had any questions or concerns she would always respond promptly. I cant say enough great things about Jessica and I recommend Jessica to everyone because she is truly the best at what she does and my husband and I are looking forward to working with Jessica in the future to get his citizenship. Thank you so much for everything Jessica!

We initially got Jessica’s information through some of our friends that had used her as their lawyer to process their marriage green card case. She came highly recommended and we can see why. Jessica was always responsive and explained the process to us thoroughly so that we felt comfortable with the rather daunting immigration process. Our case was approved fairly quickly given the pandemic and everything went well without any hiccups. We would highly recommend her - even if you are using her from a different state. All of the info she gave us made made everything go smoothly.

I met with Jessica Hargis in 2016 when I was out of status and in a very difficult life and work situation. I am now a green card holder with steady employment and permanent status in the USA. I was hesitant at first to put my life into anyone's hands, but Jessica was reassuring and the results have spoken. Jessica gained my trust. It is mentioned over and over in these reviews, but she sincerely cares about her clients like family. For example, she insisted on giving me an extension on a payment rather than allow me to put it on a credit card and rack up debt. My wife Jennifer and I are forever grateful and recommend her without hesitation. Yes she is professional and clearly knows what she is doing, but it is her thoughtfulness and consideration for her clients that takes her to the next level. Thank you Jessica!
