Success Stories

Linda and her team were quick, knew exactly what to do, and were also very kind and supportive. I felt taken care of the whole time.

Yet ANOTHER 5 star review for these folks! We started the process for my wife's green card two years ago and were lucky to be in a very favorable position for the application but that didn't mean that it didn't take time and jumping through strange and sudden hoops. Linda, Winston, Pedro, Arturo and the whole team at ILOLA were always expert and highly expedient at keeping our concerns at bay. Email responses came almost instantly and at one point my wife said their quick replies probably kept her from getting an ulcer! They were professional and friendly and always made us feel like we were seen - we never felt like our case was ever off their radar. We would genuinely and whole-hearted recommend this team and feel lucky that they happened to be the first immigration lawyers that we called.

Linda is a fantastic immigration lawyer and I cannot recommend her practice enough. When you work with Linda and her team you will receive: clear communication, fast responses, deep knowledge of rules and regulations, decades of experience with successfull cases, attention to detail and professionalism. Linda helped me get my permanent residence in a little over 3 months. She built my case and we filed for an extraordinary ability I-140 petition on May 2024. When that was approved with no RFE's she helped me file for adjustment of status I-485 on June 2024. Thanks to her skills and dedication I just received my green card on August 2024! Hiring Linda as my representation has been one of the best decision I've ever made!

Linda and her team were truly amazing in handling my immigration case! From their prompt responses to all my questions to the seamless filing of paperwork, they made the entire process feel like a breeze. The support and guidance I received at every step were invaluable, and I can't express how grateful I am. What's even more incredible is that I received my green card in less than two months – a testament to their efficiency and expertise.
I genuinely couldn't be happier with the outcome, and if you find yourself in need of immigration assistance, I wholeheartedly recommend Linda's outstanding team. 🌟

They took care of me every step of the way and not once did I had any issues with the forms that needed to be filled out. They made it so easy for me.
