This is a warm recommendation for Amy, and I would take her again in a heartbit. Here's why. Amy helped me and my husband with our naturalization process. It was a rather unique case, because we knew ahead of time that we need to spend a lot of time abroad during our 5-year physical presence requirement, and we were also worried about quiestions regarding our continued residency. It ended up being a 3 year affair, in which we consulted with Amy about every step of the process - how do we count the days for the 5 years? What do we need to do in advance to increase the chances we will pass the interview? How often do we need to be in the US to make sure we keep our residency... and so on. Amy was amazing. She patiently expalined all the risks of each step we take and gave helpful tips on avoiding hard questions. She told us which documents to obtain and when, and helped us assess where we stand at any part of the process. Both of our interviews were tough - a lot of hard questions, asking for more documents, putting us in very stressful positions of potentially having to fly back and forth several times for more interviews (during COVID!). But Amy didn't stress out, was assertive and helpful. Together, we were able to complete the interviews, including the additional documents, on the same day. All in all - this is what we were looking for - someone with the right advice and a helpful, optiomistic approach through a very stressful process. After 3 years of going through this, I'm happy to recommend Amy to anyone. Thanks Amy!

On my first consultation with Amy Wax I was very distressed, agitated and my "heart was weeping". After she reviewed the facts and documentation in my immigration case; she gave me TWO solutions. So I hired her. But she had only nine days to answer USCIS in Texas before removing procedures. She always answered my emails and explained in English, Portuguese or in Spanish language; over and over in how the law was by my side. I recognize that I was a disturbed client. When we went to the USCIS office for the permanent Resident card interview, she was dressed very professionally but, with a huge and heavy black backpack, I asked her what she had inside it, and she replied: BOOKS! because if they do not understand your case, I will explain it to them. Today Thanks to her professionalism and knowledge of USA immigration laws I am a American Citizen! Just one thing I never told her. That before knocking into her office's door I have consulted with six (6) immigration lawyers, none of them had a positive answer for my case. I will forever recommend her to any immigration issues to the people I know. Thanks a million times Dr Amy Wax!!!

I interviewed multiple attorneys for PR application before I hired Amy. I had a complicated case with 2 arrest records on file. She was the only one who reviewed my dispositions, made the effort to reach out to my criminal attorney in another city, and confirmed if those dispositions will lead to a deportation or not (since one of them was sealed). She did all of this before I even hired her. I knew at that moment that she is not here for money but to help people in need. Amy explained the entire process every step of the way, answered any question we had, prepared such a rock-solid package that there was no inquiry on my arrest records at all during the interview. Amy and her team are responsive, attentive, thorough, and professional. The entire application process took less than 10 months and I received my PR in Oct of last year. I will be hiring her for my naturalization as well.

Amy is absolutely amazing! She worked with my husband and me for several years and basically held our hand every step of the way. We finally got our permanent residencies and I'm so glad it was Amy who helped us out with this. I 100% recommend her!

Amy Wax has been my Attorney on Immigration matters for many years now. As two people doing business I can say Amy and I were a great match from the beginning, a match meant to be successful. Because of her incredible professionalism filled with a great human heart, I'll tell to anyone who listens how luck I was to have her representing me on my legal matters. Amy has great communication skills explaining things in a manner that anyone is able to understand; she's accountable for the work she does, working with great respect for people and always having the client's best interest at heart, aiming to respect their privacy. Amy is someone who understands the pressure on ones with concerns related to Immigration; always discussing difficult issues effectively to the point. She has been great working on my case for many years, which had a very successful outcome- I have just been sworn in as an American Citizen and other than God, that happened only because of Amy's expertise, organization and the great human being that she is. Not only as a great Professional Immigration Attorney, I consider her a friend who was ALWAYS available for me at every step of the way- reason of my very successful story. I'd recommend Amy Wax as an attorney any time to anyone who is in need of a professional with excellence. In my case I couldn't have had anyone better.
