I cannot thank Joshua Paulin enough for his help and guidance throughout my husband's green card process. His level of support, communication, and guidance is unmatched. Throughout our time working with Joshua, he consistently went out of his way to make sure we understood every step of the process, answered any and all questions with extreme detail, would always respond back to inquiries in a timely manner, and even provided alternative routes to make things run smoother. We are so grateful for everything he has done for our family over the years and will absolutely use his services again in the future. We highly recommend Joshua for any and all immigration matters. He is the best of the best!

Josh guided me through the CR1 spousal visa process (which ended up being the IR1 visa - 2+ years of marriage) with unmatched expertise, professionalism, and genuine care. From day one, he made a complicated process feel manageable by explaining every step clearly, reaching out to him whenever we needed, preparing flawless paperwork, and anticipating potential issues before they arose. Josh was always quick to respond to our questions (no matter how small) and provided constant reassurance during the long wait times. Thanks to his guidance and attention to detail, our visa was approved without delays. We couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated advocate, truly the best standard in the field! Thank you so much again Josh we truly could not have done it without you

Joshua was an incredible asset for my green card application. He was kind and patient with all of our questions whenever they arrived. Addressing any of the queries when they came up, His legal fees were very reasonable for the scope of work he offered and the amount of stress he reduced during my application phase. His office weas always reachable as needs arose, and he consolidated all the paperwork and documentation that we provided in a package that will be immensely helpful for any future endeavors. We cannot recommend Joshua enough.
