Annabelle Fischer recently did a thorough, knowlegeable job in successfully representing my two adult sons and me, all born in America, in also becoming naturalized German citizens under Art 116 II GG. I've practised law for 5 decades so I rarely need to hire other lawyers. In this instance, it proved to be not just helpful but necessary as well as reassuring to do so. The process is complex. It's essential to have someone familiar with how to go about getting the needed documentation both in the U.S. and in Germany, presenting the information properly so the review of the facts goes smoothly in Germany , and then regularly following up to make sure matters proceed as they should. Ms. Fischer is well regarded in NYC at the German Consulate, and that factor is always helpful. I have no reservation in saying that my sons and I are thoroughly pleased and satisfied that Ms. Fischer has been so ably representing our family.
Annabelle is very through, knowledgeable and detailed oriented. It was very comforting to know that my case was in good hands. Thanks to her my H1B application was selected and approved! I would highly recommend her!
Annabelle was very helpful in assisting me throughout this overwhelming process and made the experience less stressful and the outcome successful. I have no hesitation recommending her.
For years, I considered the process of becoming a US citizen but the administrative and political aspect of it seemed to be too difficult and time-consuming to handle alone. Last year, I contacted the German consulate to ask for advice in choosing the right lawyer and was prompted to review their list on their website. That's how I came across Annabelle Fischer and from the first phone call, which she returned promptly, I knew she was the right choice. Annabelle is very well informed and returned my emails and phone calls always very quickly. She was great to work with, friendly, a good listener, and walked me through all aspects of becoming a US citizen. I felt I was very well prepared throughout the process which she made very easy. Prior to the interview and to being sworn in on September 20, 2019 which was a beautiful ceremony, I had additional questions and Annabelle reassured me. I highly recommend Annabelle Fischer and have already shared her name with others who are seeking to become US citizens. Thank you again, Annabelle!
When I decided to apply for American citizenship while retaining my German citizenship I felt quite daunted to go through the two complex, formal processes all by myself. After researching a few lawyers specialized in Immigration law I decided to work with Annabelle. It was a good choice! Annabelle lead me through all the complicated paper and form requirements, helped me organizing the required information, and she was always so promptly responsive to any advising I needed. With her at my side everything worked out so smoothly. And all is accomplished now.
Annabelle provided services for my wife in pursuing to resolve a long standing Visa issue. Prior to enlisting Annabelle's assistance my wife and I had sought to resolve the issues through a German attorney's office which proved to be less than fruitful. The origin of the issue dated back to 2017 and it was not until we found Annabelle that any progress was made towards resolving the outstanding issue. Annabelle's reviewed our case thoroughly and outlined the necessary actions through out each step in the process. She clearly identified what challenges existed and guided us in submitting supporting documents to strengthen our case. Annabelle's complete knowledge of the German law / justice system along with a strong network of connections in both the U.S. and Germany proved to be invaluable. You can have the best intentions in the world to provide all the necessary information to strengthen and win your case but if you are not intimately knowledgeable with the German immigration system you will be walking in the dark as we were. Without having Annabelle's assistance my wife would still have this lingering issue which would have impacted our life goals and future. A big thank you to Annabelle for all her persistent efforts and assistance with resolving our case! We highly recommend Annabelle to anyone that is serious about resolving legal or immigration matters within the German system!

Annabelle provided outstanding assistance with my wife’s Beibehaltungsgenehmigung. In our first consultation over the phone she helpfully corrected some of our misunderstandings and clearly explained the process and requirements. Annabelle did not treat our case as a “cookie-cutter” routine, but really took the time to understand the particulars of our situation and draft the strongest possible argument to support our application. It’s clear she is an expert in these matters, and we were absolutely confident in following her advice.
