I can't even imagine trying to navigate this process on my own!…read more I'm an attorney myself and the green card application process for my mom would have been overwhelming, time consuming and expensive to do on my own. The attorneys (I worked with Joy and Amy) and paralegal (Ana) were all helpful, responsive and easy to work with. Although I made one in-person visit to drop some papers off, most interactions were handled via zoom, phone, email, and an online portal to securely upload documents. While not inexpensive, it was worth every penny to know the paperwork was being done correctly and USCIS wasn't going to come back with a million questions or deny the application. Every case is different and my mom's situation wasn't incredibly complex, but it took half the time we estimated. Bottom line - applying for a green card isn't an easy process, even if you're a native English speaker. There are tons of forms to fill out and documents to provide. The USCIS website is less than helpful and the process itself isn't cheap. This team knows how to make the process relatively painless and get results.

I want to share my experience with Motion Law so others are aware before choosing this firm. My…read morebiggest issue has been the lack of communication. My calls almost always went unanswered, and every time I reached out, I was told my paralegal was "busy" and the attorney was unavailable. Messages were constantly "passed along," but I rarely received actual updates unless I followed up multiple times. Another serious problem was related to my G-28. Motion Law changed offices after my G-28 was filed, meaning USCIS still had their old address on record for all correspondence, including my green card. When USCIS mailed the card, it was returned as "undeliverable" because the attorney's address on file was vacant. When I contacted the firm about this issue, the receptionist again told me everyone was "busy." Later, I received a text saying: "Your green card has been produced and mailed to our office. Once received we will contact you." This made no sense because I had already confirmed directly with USCIS that the card had been returned due to the vacant address. The information from Motion Law was completely inaccurate. I eventually stayed on hold with USCIS myself, fixed the mailing address to my home, and that is the only reason I finally received my green card. The firm played no role in resolving this problem. To make things worse, this communication problem wasn't new. Back in March, I emailed Mireya directly to express how frustrated I was with the lack of communication overall. Her response at that time did not include any apology or acknowledgment of the concerns I brought up. Nothing changed afterward. On top of that, I have dealt with multiple different paralegals throughout my case, which caused even more confusion. There is no consistency, no follow-through, and no one seems to fully understand your file. Overall, the entire experience was stressful, avoidable, and deeply disappointing. Based on everything I went through and after reading many reviews from others with the same issues I cannot recommend this firm to anyone. Motion Law lacks basic communication, consistency, and accountability, and you will probably never get a real response unless you call and email multiple times. For an immigration law firm, this level of communication is unacceptable.

My husband went through this immigration office, specifically the paralegals Natalia Abigail…read moreSalazar, Valeria Urbina, and Carolina Cid. The Lawyers were Laila Said-Alam and Nadin Elias. I cannot emphasize enough to go somewhere else. This law firm is nothing but a scam. My husband's paperwork was for TPS and they had submitted the wrong type of work visa. My husband's TPS was approved about a year after they submitted it, but because they had submitted the wrong work visa it was left pending for over four years. They dodged my husband's calls for four years, didn't answer emails, and said they would make sure we were called back "urgently" that never happened once. Not once was there an apology, an offer of reimbursement for pursuing the wrong paperwork, or even anyone reaching out after it was denied. The only time they called us back in those 4 years after happily taking their money is when I said I was taking it to the senator, which he sent us a very kind letter explaining that he had contacted USCIS on our behalf and attached the letter USCIS had send him, which had said our lawyer had submitted the wrong paperwork. This law firm is a scam, and they just want to take the money of people whose first language isn't English and abuse that power. Instead I recommend a wonderful law firm that was nothing but the definition of excellence who we took our business to after such an awful experience with the mentioned lawyers. The lawyers who I recommend are "Law Offices of Camila R. Ransom, P.C." out of Boston, Massachusetts. Not only are they professional, return calls and emails expeditiously, and stay updated on your personal case, but they care, unlike this law firm. Camilla and Maria from Ransom Law helped my husband and I with his green card process, to which was shorter than 5 months total. Which makes this law firm look completely laughable since they did such an awful job. Please, save your money, time, and tears and go somewhere else. Avoid Motion Law at all costs. Mi esposo pasó por esta oficina de inmigración, específicamente por las asistentes legales Natalia Abigail Salazar, Valeria Urbina y Carolina Cid. Las abogadas eran Laila Said-Alam y Nadin Elias. No puedo enfatizar lo suficiente que deberían buscar otro bufete. Este bufete de abogados no es más que una estafa. La documentación de mi esposo era para el TPS y habían presentado el tipo de visa de trabajo incorrecto. El TPS de mi esposo fue aprobado aproximadamente un año después de que lo presentaron, pero debido a que presentaron la visa de trabajo incorrecta, quedó pendiente durante más de cuatro años. Evitaron las llamadas de mi esposo durante cuatro años, no respondieron correos electrónicos y dijeron que se asegurarían de que nos devolvieran la llamada "urgentemente", lo cual nunca ocurrió. Ni una sola vez hubo una disculpa, una oferta de reembolso por presentar el papeleo incorrecto, ni siquiera alguien se comunicó después de que fue denegado. La única vez que nos devolvieron la llamada en esos 4 años, después de aceptar su dinero con alegría, fue cuando les dije que se lo llevaría al senador, quien nos envió una carta muy amable explicando que se había puesto en contacto con USCIS en nuestro nombre y adjuntó la carta que USCIS le había enviado, la cual decía que nuestro abogado había presentado la documentación incorrecta. Este bufete es una estafa, y solo quieren quedarse con el dinero de personas cuyo primer idioma no es el inglés y abusar de ese poder. En cambio, recomiendo un bufete maravilloso que fue la definición perfecta de excelencia, al que recurrimos después de una experiencia tan terrible con los abogados mencionados. Los abogados que recomiendo son "Law Offices of Camila R. Ransom, P.C." de Boston, Massachusetts. No solo son profesionales, devuelven las llamadas y los correos electrónicos con rapidez y se mantienen al tanto de tu caso personal, sino que se preocupan, a diferencia de este bufete. Camilla y María de Ransom Law nos ayudaron a mi esposo y a mí con su proceso de residencia permanente, que duró menos de 5 meses en total. Lo que hace que este bufete de abogados parezca completamente ridículo, ya que hicieron un trabajo pésimo. Por favor, ahórrese dinero, tiempo y lágrimas y busque otro bufete. Evite Motion Law a toda costa.
