Ms. Pendergast assisted me in filling a request for a 2 year foreign residency waiver based on a No Objection statement. Although the process was difficult and at places at risk of failing due to lack of documents on our side and other procedural delays by the authorities, Ms. Pendergast was always available to help, provided me with clear information and went above and beyond to find solutions for our specific situation. Step by step she offered assistance and undertook all necessary steps to ensure a positive outcome. My case received the approval, however I am confident that even if the result would have been different, my opinions regarding Ms. Pendergast would be the same. I would highly recommend her to any prospective client.
From the moment we contacted Heather, she was extremely helpful, professional and clear about which steps we needed to take to complete the green card application. Heather is very organized and explained everything along the way to turn it into a smooth process. Anytime we needed her, she always responded within a very timely matter.
