Ian and his team were an absolute pleasure to deal with. The E-2 visa package the team prepared was so strong that they barely asked any questions at my visa interview!
I am incredibly indebted to Ian Scott! I consulted with Ian in 2019 on my case with a failed E2 visa application. From working with his team, Ian was crystal clear from the beginning about the entire process, incredibly patient with answering all of my concerns and questions, and extremely knowledgeable. I was successfully granted the E2 visa in 2020, and was also approved of the EB3 application in 2021, all with his superior guidance! He was able to help navigate me through this incredibly stressful transition and application process, and always went above and beyond to deliver. Ian's team is impeccable and detail-oriented, and I have nothing but great words to say about working with his team - especially his associate, Jenny! I am incredibly blessed to have worked with you, Ian! Thank you!
I hired Ian to help me complete my E1 visa application in late 2019, so that I could relocate to NYC to grow my business. Ian and his team were extremely professional, highly knowledgable, and fast. We started the process in October, and I had my visa in my passport by early January. USCIS had some additional, and somewhat tricky, questions for me, and Ian dealt with them quickly and effectively -- leading to a successful petition. Throughout the process, whenever I had questions, Ian responded quickly by email or phone. I'd highly recommend Ian for anyone who needs legal support for their E1 visa (or E2 visa, which is more common, but apparently very similar).
Ian was hired to represent us for our E-2 Visa application. He explained the requirements and what was needed to fulfil them. He was always available and incredibly thorough in making sure the submission was prepared and ready before filing. His advice and help has been invaluable to us, would not hesitate in recommending him and will always use in the future.
Ian and his team went above and beyond in helping me secure an E2 visa. When I first got the idea of applying for an E2 visa 4 months ago, I knew it was a very long stretch. Ian and his team helped me go from a weak application to a rock solid one, and I ended up getting approved for my E2 visa seamlessly. In particular, I'd like do thank Michaela, Kelly and Jenny. Highly recommended team of professionals.
Great, professional team! I successfully got an E-2 visa with a real estate development business. It was a pleasure to work with you. Thank you Ian Scott and Michaela Vrazdova!
We are very impressed with the way our E2 Visa was handled by everyone we dealt with at Scott Legal - from speaking to Ian Scott to everyone in his team, it was an absolute pleasure. All our questions were answered quickly and efficiently. Needless to say, we got our visa without any hassle. We highly recommend this firm of attorneys. We look forward to our continued dealings with Ian Scott Legal. Thank you
Ian was amazing in helping us securing an E-2 Visa successfully. Our preparation was 10/10 and made me feel very prepared for the in-person interview at the Embassy. Furthermore his fee is very competitive and from working with another firm previously that had quite the prestigious reputation and charged about 40% more than him, I wish I would've learned about him and his team earlier. Also he's humble yet one can tell that he lives up to what you'd expect from a lawyer that graduated from Harvard. Clear 5/5 stars for him and his firm and looking forward to working with him in the future.
Hiring Scott Legal, P.C. to help us get an E-2 visa for the U.S. is the best thing that happened to us last year!!! We were extremely happy with the services provided by both Ian E. Scott, Esq. and Kelly R. LeGrand Weiner, Esq. Ian was great at answering all of our initial questions and he got the ball rolling! We mainly dealt with Kelly throughout the application process. She was always quick to respond and very clear in her communication, which we mainly had by email during our visa application process. She answered all of our questions and helped us a lot with recommendations on how to improve our business plan, which was part of our application. We are so happy that we got our E-2 visa and so grateful for the excellent services that we received from Ian and Kelly. We would definitely recommend their services.
Scott Legal's and the attorney on this case Kelly Weiner provided us with superb service. Kelly's diligence and support throughout the E-2 employee visa application was flawless. The visa was granted at the first interview. This is the second time we use Scott Legal and we were successful both times on first attempt. The team is responsive beyond expectations and the fees are very reasonable. This is the goto firm for immigration services.
