We hired Carola Villavicencio to represent our daughter-in-law for obtaining her status as a Permanent Resident. We had interviewed other lawyers before making our decision. Carola was both professional and supportive. She was readily available when we needed her and answered our emails speedily. She was the perfect choice for us and I am happy to say that our daughter-in-law is now a documented legal permanent resident. I recommend her in the highest regard.

Carola Villavicencio is an incredible Immigration Attorney. She was available throughout the full process and more importantly, in constant communication with us. On top of being an amazing Attorney, Carola’s accessibility made us feel in control of this stressful process. From the first day, until our VISA E-2 acceptance, Carola coached us. As Entrepreneurs, we know how to promote our business but when it comes the time to the USA Immigrations, I leave that to Carola Villavicencio. Thanks to her hard work and her constant support, we got our E-2 VISA approved and this, just before the COVID 19. We are now operational in Florida! Thank you Carola. You saved our Company’s expansion in the USA! Regards Patrick.H

Mi experiencia con la Asistencia legal fue excelente; ya que la petición familiar la habían cerrado y la Abogado carola Villavicencio logro de nuevo reabrir esta petición, llevando el caso al Departamento de Estado, porque si no se hubiera reabierto esa petición nos hubiera tocado volver aplicar y esperar de nuevo 14 años. Luego nos estaban pidiendo otros documentos que no tenían nada que ver con nuestra aplicación y ella también resolvió ese problema. Estamos como familia super agradecidos, complacidos, conformes y felices con el trabajo y trato de la Abogado Carola Villavicencio estuvo dispuesta a resolver todos los inconvenientes que se presentaron, respondiendo todas nuestras llamadas y correos con la infinidad de preguntas que siempre teníamos. La recomiendo porque este caso fue super difícil y complicado ya que eramos 6 personas papa, mama, y 4 hijos y gracias a Dios y al trabajo de ella obtuvimos la Residencia Americana. Carola Villavicencio gracias por tu dedicación y constancia en nuestro caso.

Working with Carola was a wonderful experience. She is extremely knowledgeable. She is on track, on time and on point! My father received his Permanent Resident card just 4 months after completing the process with Carola! She was extremely accommodating and made the process very simple. She made herself available every time I called with questions. I highly recommend her!

I had an old case of removal in absentia for almost 20 years, I was detained and put into a monitoring program by ICE. I hired 2 lawyers who did terrible jobs, leading to a reject by the immigration court to reopen my case. Luckily, I was referred to Carola by one of her former classmates in law school, who told me how great she was. He was right! She was able to show the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) that I deserved to have my case reopened and have my day in court!...
