We met with Marta after seeing three other attorneys who were very uninformed about the eligibility for my husband’s AOS. It was clear from our first consultation how experienced and well informed Marta was of the law itself. Marta’s extreme level of detail, close reading of the law is what gave us a winning argument for my husband's green card. Throughout the application process for I-130, I-485 & I-601 waivers we continued to see the same level of detail and care. This was especially important during a tumultuous time under the Trump administration making form changes, and new rule filings. Marta always kept herself up to speed on the internal changes in USCIS and updated us on these changes as well. We felt very confident and well protected during these times to have Marta as our immigration attorney. Marta was always very responsive and available for our questions or concerns throughout the entire process. Marta was very honest with the challenges of our case and maintained a healthy level of skepticism going through the a variety of the options available to us. We are forever grateful of Marta’s compassion, dedication, open communication and hard work for helping us get my husband’s green card with success. We look forward to working with her in the future for securing his citizenship process.
We engaged Marta for my greencard process. From the initial consultation, she always laid out clearly all of our options and potential risks. She was always available when we had questions and kept us informed throughout the process. I would strongly recommend Marta.
Going thought an immigration process could be a negative and taught experience. Thanks to Marta's fantastic support, preparation, and knowledge, I felt confident and sure that my case had the highest probability of being accepted. She is someone that listens to your concerns, always looking at the positive side and bringing solutions to the table. I can not be more thankful for her and recommend her service enough.
In a 9-year time frame, my wife and I had been with two previous attorneys, as the matters of filing I-130, I-485, and I-601 waivers is an extremely long process. We had two I-485’s get denied over this time frame. After the second denial, we were fortunate enough to find Attorney Delgado. Attorney Delgado was different than any of the previous attorneys we had, including attorneys we met for consultations. It was apparent she had many years of experience with complex immigration cases based on how knowledgeable she spoke. Attorney Delgado had everything we wanted all along in an attorney: compassionate, friendly, highly knowledgeable, and something we had never found to this point yet - an excellent communicator. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of comfort you feel when your attorney responds to calls/emails in timely manners. We had gone months without correspondences from a previous attorney and experienced immense stress from this. Attorney Delgado is truly encompasses everything you want in an immigration attorney. Fortunately, we had won our I-485 and I-601 appeal with our previous attorney and did not need the services of Attorney Delgado. We truly wish we had found Attorney Delgado many years ago. We plan to use her services as we look forward to my wife’s citizenship process. If you find yourself debating between attorneys to consult with, take comfort in knowing you will have an elite immigration attorney in Attorney Delgado. My wife and I highly recommend Attorney Delgado.
It took us a little over 5 months since we sent in our AOS application to get the green card. Marta was very patient and thorough with us through this whole process. I had a few specific concerns and many questions, and she provided information and answers quickly. She charges an hourly rate, but we thought her rates are reasonable, and ended up spending way less than a flat rate we were quoted from another attorney. Regardless, it was very much worth it to have Marta on our side for peace of mind and confidence in her expertise. We were all pleased and surprised that our process was so short, and I'm sure there are many factors that resulted in this, but I know for sure that without Marta it would have taken us longer to just put together and send in the application. I am really glad and grateful that she was our attorney. We will be referring her to our acquaintances and friends in Chicago applying for permanent residency.
My husband and I received an unexpected denial to a prior I-485 application and were at a loss as to how to proceed. We consulted with a number of lawyers, who collectively painted a grim picture of what our prospects were. Ultimately, we were referred to Marta, and she was quick to fully understand the complications of our case and identified a strong legal strategy for our re-application. She presented that argument in a professional and compelling manner - ultimately resulting in an approval! Throughout the process, she kept us informed (despite our many many questions) and confident of her vigilance over our case every step of the way. Her legal expertise is only matched by the care and compassion with which she treats her clients. She fully understands the magnitude of the work she does and was nothing but attentive and careful with the trust we placed in her. We consider ourselves so lucky to have met her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking legal representation!
If I could give Marta Delgado 10 stars I would!!!! I was referred to Marta Delgado after receiving a removal proceeding’s letter from ICE. She reviewed, took my case and worked with me very patiently through this process. She is very professional, very detailed, compassionate and has excellent communication skills. Thanks to all her hard work, today I’m a U.S. citizen. My family & I are forever thankful to Marta!!!!!
I was seeking to sponsor my parents for Permanent Residency status. We met with Marta and she was both compassionate in our endeavors and strategic in her recommendation. Her knowledge base and experience were evident as she guided us through this complicated process and clearly defined pros and cons of the numerous options available. She provided a very concise analysis of our situation and we all agreed on an strategy. In the end, it was definitely the right approach as we received our PR approval in an expeditious manner. Marta was very specific in what documents we should provide and that resulted in no questions or requests for additional information from CIS. This process has opened my eyes on how difficult and complicated the immigration process is. I can't imagine going through this on my own and I am very fortunate to have had Marta counseling us.
My husband and I, met with Marta regarding my immigration status. We literally had no idea where to start or what to do. We were scared, overwhelmed and confused. Marta met with us and in plain language and a calming manner gave us the much needed clarity and understanding we needed. She is unbelievably knowledgeable, without be condescending or making it more confusing. She helped us write out where to go next, what information we needed to gather and what forms to start going through. I have absolutely no doubt that I will use Marta's services, should I need them in the future. Thank you!
Martha is a highly competent immigration law practitioner. She and I have worked together in the past and continue to collaborate on cases. She is very thorough and honest.
