I am a social entrepreneur, and this April I was invited to receive an Award in Chicago, where I wanted my mother to join me. This is, of course, a lot to ask because U.S. visas for Pakistanis are usually long and extremely difficult processes. And for my mother who had no job affiliation and less documentation to support her, I knew the task would not be easy. Jan came highly recommended and I reached out to her. I couldn't believe what happened next. Jan made sure she was very clear in her messages to us, about the documentation we need, about the application process, and I will never forget that long phone call to prepare my mother for her interview. We were sitting in a village in Pakistan and the phone connection was really bad, but with her patience and brilliance she prepared my mother for her interview appointment. The following week when my mother gave her interview, she came out of the consulate beaming with a new light on her face. My mother was now able to join me in my speeches in the US and talk about her journey. It has been a big hand in changing many peoples' lives. Thank you so much Jan for doing this for us. My mother has had a great visit. She is soon going to NYC to meet with great world leaders, and going back to Pakistan with great learning and development. I am forever grateful to you.
As a physician, I have been taught to strive for these qualities to be an outstanding professional – availability, affability and ability. Having Jan represent us on a myriad of complicated and time-sensitive immigration issues over the last couple of years, I can confidently state that she not only epitomizes these qualities but goes much further by being an ardent advocate for her clients. Able – I was introduced to Jan when she was under contract with my wife’s new employer and was working on her H1 transfer. Under the circumstances, the transfer was a sensitive issue for us with possibility of losing AC21 eligibility. Unlike other employer-contracted lawyers, who are often condescending or uncommunicative towards the beneficiaries, Jan and her team treated us as their personal clients. She understood our predicament and personally directed quick preparation of the petition, allowing us to keep the benefits. After this great first experience, we decided to retain her for our H4-EAD and EB2-NIW petitions and she has delivered on all counts. Our H4 and EAD petitions were filed right around the time the rule came into effect and we were served with a difficult RFE. Jen and her partners brainstormed the questions and came up with a very effective reply. I am certain that without Jen’s encyclopedic knowledge of immigration law, commitment and personal attention I would not be able to obtain the EAD and continue to work in the US. Jen not only prepared our EB2-NIW petition but she was personally able to obtain letters from state government which was a key to the petition. Without her help, obtaining those letters would have been a significant investment of our time and efforts. Jen also referred us to her equally outstanding partner, Elizabeth Quinn, regarding EB1EA petition. Both the EB1EA and EB2 petitions have since been approved. Available – Jan and her team have set the bar for open communication. From day one of our interaction, Jan has been available to us by phone and email, day or night. On urgent matters we had direct access to her and she would often respond within minutes to hours regardless of the time of the day. Affable – Communicating with Jan has Zen like effects. She is the ‘Yoda’ of immigration law. At every stage of these multiple petitions Jan gave us comfort, encouragement and inspired confidence. Talking to her, I knew she is the person I can totally depend on for the right advice without needing to scour the internet for obscure facts. Advocacy – Jen truly goes beyond the call of duty. She promptly called and refereed us to another attorney to protect our interests when a conflict developed during her dual representation of my wife and her employer. I am truly privileged to have her as my attorney and I unreservedly recommend her on all immigration matters.
I have worked with Jan for 20+ years. She is always there to help on the most unique circumstances. Is available day and night and even weekends if we have an urgent matter. I fully recommend Jan and her team.
Ms. Pederson helped me out with my J-1 physician waiver at a very crucial juncture. Not only did she give me the right advice about what needs to be done in my situation, but she went ahead and got it done in time. Her expertise in this area and her wonderful team helped me to get my waiver approved. I'd strongly recommend her to any physician on a J-1 stuck with the waiver process.
We thank our lucky stars that Jan was sent to us. My husband is a physician and had some peculiar hurdles as a doctor who was on a J1 visa in the past. His perspective was deal with the best in the game and they will get you the best result. Our research led us to Jan. She over delivered - so amazed!!! She does the work of 5 lawyers mixed in one. She gave us her cell phone number and would call us at 10 pm or 11 to catch up on aspects of the case. We know that we have found that person who we will work with for the future for our immigration needs and recommend her heartily to friends and family.
I am a physician and with Jan's help I successfully secured a J1 waiver position as a sub-specialist in the state on NJ. She brings incredible experience to the table which has helped me realize my professional opportunity despite some very difficult circumstances. I am happy to recommend her to anyone with visa related questions and concerns or anyone looking for representation.
I am an IMG (internal tío al medical graduate) physician from Colombia. I came to this country not knowing the language 5 years ago. I had to leave my son for 5 years while in the process of doing my residency, which at the end due to a Visa requirement would make me go back to my country. In order to waive this, an extensive migratory process has to be done and here is where Jan appeared in my life. She represented me and took care of every single detail. Not only her but her ENTIRE team is full of amazing people that even though you can not see them (they’re in Washington and I’m in Miami) they feel like family. They give you the best advices, they take care of your emotions your needs, your concerns, and do EVERYTHING to help you out in this exhaustive process. Thanks God and Jan’s work I got the waiver and I can work as an U.S. doctor. I couldn’t be any happier and I ask God he gives me the opportunity of some day paying her and her team back for all. For now, the o Love you way could do it is by recommending her to everyone with eyes closed. Thanks a lot Jan Pederson for everything God bless you.
I was in the U.S. on a research scholar visa when I met my husband. He asked me to marry him, and we were very happy to be together. However, we thought that due to the two-year home residency requirement, that I would have to leave the U.S. for two years, and return to my home country before I would be able to return to the U.S. again. Jan and the other attorneys at Maggio-Kattar helped us through the long process of getting a waiver from both of our governments for the home residency requirement, and then through my residency, and finally to my naturalization ceremony. My husband and I are ecstatic at how it all turned out, and we are very appreciative to Jan's guidance throughout the process. While we could have potentially attempted to go through the process without legal counsel, it was very helpful to help us answer any questions that arose. I would highly recommend Jan and Maggio-Kattar for any legal immigration assistance that you may need.
Ms. Pederson has the experience, knowledge, wisdom, passion and belief that legal immigration for everyone entering the US is a must. I consulted (and hired) her after a truly malicious act by my spouse endangered the many years of my work here. She put together an airtight case for me with her team (including the fabulous Mr. Neil Sawyer) whom I will review separately, and I now have the freedom to work here legally while my case is being adjudicated. She goes above and beyond, can be reached at all times and GENUINELY cares. J1 physicians On waivers are her niche, and I only wish I had consulted her 8 years ago so my current situation could have been prevented. Don’t be fooled by how unassuming she is, when she makes a legal argument, it stays made. I would recommend Ms. Pederson to ANYONE who needs an immigration attorney par excellence.
Jan Pederson changed my life. During a time in my life where I was under extreme pressure, had nobody to lean on, and was all alone she showed me the way and took care of my legal needs. She gave me hope based on facts and made me feel like I was in the best of hands. I was all alone in a new country, didn't speak English, and was pregnant. Jan is an angel dressed up as a lawyer. If you have not experienced her representation, I feel so sorry for you. There is no way, but Jan's way. Thank you Jan for everything you did for me. God bless you and you are always in me and my daughter's prayers.

In order to waive this, an extensive migratory process has to be done and here is where Jan appeared in my life. She represented me and took care of every single detail. Not only her but her ENTIRE team is full of amazing people that even though you can not see them (they’re in Washington and I’m in Miami) they feel like family. They give you the best advices, they take care of your emotions your needs, your concerns, and do EVERYTHING to help you out in this exhaustive process. Thanks God and Jan’s work I got the waiver and I can work as an U.S. doctor. I couldn’t be any happier and I ask God he gives me the opportunity of some day paying her and her team back for all. For now, the o Love you way could do it is by recommending her to everyone with eyes closed. Thanks a lot Jan Pederson for everything God bless you.
I was in the U.S. on a research scholar visa when I met my husband. He asked me to marry him, and we were very happy to be together. However, we thought that due to the two-year home residency requirement, that I would have to leave the U.S. for two years, and return to my home country before I would be able to return to the U.S. again. Jan and the other attorneys at Maggio-Kattar helped us through the long process of getting a waiver from both of our governments for the home residency requirement, and then through my residency, and finally to my naturalization ceremony. My husband and I are ecstatic at how it all turned out, and we are very appreciative to Jan's guidance throughout the process. While we could have potentially attempted to go through the process without legal counsel, it was very helpful to help us answer any questions that arose. I would highly recommend Jan and Maggio-Kattar for any legal immigration assistance that you may need.
Ms. Pederson has the experience, knowledge, wisdom, passion and belief that legal immigration for everyone entering the US is a must. I consulted (and hired) her after a truly malicious act by my spouse endangered the many years of my work here. She put together an airtight case for me with her team (including the fabulous Mr. Neil Sawyer) whom I will review separately, and I now have the freedom to work here legally while my case is being adjudicated. She goes above and beyond, can be reached at all times and GENUINELY cares. J1 physicians On waivers are her niche, and I only wish I had consulted her 8 years ago so my current situation could have been prevented. Don’t be fooled by how unassuming she is, when she makes a legal argument, it stays made. I would recommend Ms. Pederson to ANYONE who needs an immigration attorney par excellence.
Jan Pederson changed my life. During a time in my life where I was under extreme pressure, had nobody to lean on, and was all alone she showed me the way and took care of my legal needs. She gave me hope based on facts and made me feel like I was in the best of hands. I was all alone in a new country, didn't speak English, and was pregnant. Jan is an angel dressed up as a lawyer. If you have not experienced her representation, I feel so sorry for you. There is no way, but Jan's way. Thank you Jan for everything you did for me. God bless you and you are always in me and my daughter's prayers.
I am a social entrepreneur, and this April I was invited to receive an Award in Chicago, where I wanted my mother to join me. This is, of course, a lot to ask because U.S. visas for Pakistanis are usually long and extremely difficult processes. And for my mother who had no job affiliation and less documentation to support her, I knew the task would not be easy. Jan came highly recommended and I reached out to her. I couldn't believe what happened next. Jan made sure she was very clear in her messages to us, about the documentation we need, about the application process, and I will never forget that long phone call to prepare my mother for her interview. We were sitting in a village in Pakistan and the phone connection was really bad, but with her patience and brilliance she prepared my mother for her interview appointment. The following week when my mother gave her interview, she came out of the consulate beaming with a new light on her face. My mother was now able to join me in my speeches in the US and talk about her journey. It has been a big hand in changing many peoples' lives. Thank you so much Jan for doing this for us. My mother has had a great visit. She is soon going to NYC to meet with great world leaders, and going back to Pakistan with great learning and development. I am forever grateful to you.
As a physician, I have been taught to strive for these qualities to be an outstanding professional – availability, affability and ability. Having Jan represent us on a myriad of complicated and time-sensitive immigration issues over the last couple of years, I can confidently state that she not only epitomizes these qualities but goes much further by being an ardent advocate for her clients. Able – I was introduced to Jan when she was under contract with my wife’s new employer and was working on her H1 transfer. Under the circumstances, the transfer was a sensitive issue for us with possibility of losing AC21 eligibility. Unlike other employer-contracted lawyers, who are often condescending or uncommunicative towards the beneficiaries, Jan and her team treated us as their personal clients. She understood our predicament and personally directed quick preparation of the petition, allowing us to keep the benefits. After this great first experience, we decided to retain her for our H4-EAD and EB2-NIW petitions and she has delivered on all counts. Our H4 and EAD petitions were filed right around the time the rule came into effect and we were served with a difficult RFE. Jen and her partners brainstormed the questions and came up with a very effective reply. I am certain that without Jen’s encyclopedic knowledge of immigration law, commitment and personal attention I would not be able to obtain the EAD and continue to work in the US. Jen not only prepared our EB2-NIW petition but she was personally able to obtain letters from state government which was a key to the petition. Without her help, obtaining those letters would have been a significant investment of our time and efforts. Jen also referred us to her equally outstanding partner, Elizabeth Quinn, regarding EB1EA petition. Both the EB1EA and EB2 petitions have since been approved. Available – Jan and her team have set the bar for open communication. From day one of our interaction, Jan has been available to us by phone and email, day or night. On urgent matters we had direct access to her and she would often respond within minutes to hours regardless of the time of the day. Affable – Communicating with Jan has Zen like effects. She is the ‘Yoda’ of immigration law. At every stage of these multiple petitions Jan gave us comfort, encouragement and inspired confidence. Talking to her, I knew she is the person I can totally depend on for the right advice without needing to scour the internet for obscure facts. Advocacy – Jen truly goes beyond the call of duty. She promptly called and refereed us to another attorney to protect our interests when a conflict developed during her dual representation of my wife and her employer. I am truly privileged to have her as my attorney and I unreservedly recommend her on all immigration matters.
I have worked with Jan for 20+ years. She is always there to help on the most unique circumstances. Is available day and night and even weekends if we have an urgent matter. I fully recommend Jan and her team.
Ms. Pederson helped me out with my J-1 physician waiver at a very crucial juncture. Not only did she give me the right advice about what needs to be done in my situation, but she went ahead and got it done in time. Her expertise in this area and her wonderful team helped me to get my waiver approved. I'd strongly recommend her to any physician on a J-1 stuck with the waiver process.
We thank our lucky stars that Jan was sent to us. My husband is a physician and had some peculiar hurdles as a doctor who was on a J1 visa in the past. His perspective was deal with the best in the game and they will get you the best result. Our research led us to Jan. She over delivered - so amazed!!! She does the work of 5 lawyers mixed in one. She gave us her cell phone number and would call us at 10 pm or 11 to catch up on aspects of the case. We know that we have found that person who we will work with for the future for our immigration needs and recommend her heartily to friends and family.
I am a physician and with Jan's help I successfully secured a J1 waiver position as a sub-specialist in the state on NJ. She brings incredible experience to the table which has helped me realize my professional opportunity despite some very difficult circumstances. I am happy to recommend her to anyone with visa related questions and concerns or anyone looking for representation.

We thank our lucky stars that Jan was sent to us. My husband is a physician and had some peculiar hurdles as a doctor who was on a J1 visa in the past. His perspective was deal with the best in the game and they will get you the best result. Our research led us to Jan. She over delivered - so amazed!!! She does the work of 5 lawyers mixed in one. She gave us her cell phone number and would call us at 10 pm or 11 to catch up on aspects of the case. We know that we have found that person who we will work with for the future for our immigration needs and recommend her heartily to friends and family.
I am a physician and with Jan's help I successfully secured a J1 waiver position as a sub-specialist in the state on NJ. She brings incredible experience to the table which has helped me realize my professional opportunity despite some very difficult circumstances. I am happy to recommend her to anyone with visa related questions and concerns or anyone looking for representation.
I am an IMG (internal tío al medical graduate) physician from Colombia. I came to this country not knowing the language 5 years ago. I had to leave my son for 5 years while in the process of doing my residency, which at the end due to a Visa requirement would make me go back to my country. In order to waive this, an extensive migratory process has to be done and here is where Jan appeared in my life. She represented me and took care of every single detail. Not only her but her ENTIRE team is full of amazing people that even though you can not see them (they’re in Washington and I’m in Miami) they feel like family. They give you the best advices, they take care of your emotions your needs, your concerns, and do EVERYTHING to help you out in this exhaustive process. Thanks God and Jan’s work I got the waiver and I can work as an U.S. doctor. I couldn’t be any happier and I ask God he gives me the opportunity of some day paying her and her team back for all. For now, the o Love you way could do it is by recommending her to everyone with eyes closed. Thanks a lot Jan Pederson for everything God bless you.
I was in the U.S. on a research scholar visa when I met my husband. He asked me to marry him, and we were very happy to be together. However, we thought that due to the two-year home residency requirement, that I would have to leave the U.S. for two years, and return to my home country before I would be able to return to the U.S. again. Jan and the other attorneys at Maggio-Kattar helped us through the long process of getting a waiver from both of our governments for the home residency requirement, and then through my residency, and finally to my naturalization ceremony. My husband and I are ecstatic at how it all turned out, and we are very appreciative to Jan's guidance throughout the process. While we could have potentially attempted to go through the process without legal counsel, it was very helpful to help us answer any questions that arose. I would highly recommend Jan and Maggio-Kattar for any legal immigration assistance that you may need.
Ms. Pederson has the experience, knowledge, wisdom, passion and belief that legal immigration for everyone entering the US is a must. I consulted (and hired) her after a truly malicious act by my spouse endangered the many years of my work here. She put together an airtight case for me with her team (including the fabulous Mr. Neil Sawyer) whom I will review separately, and I now have the freedom to work here legally while my case is being adjudicated. She goes above and beyond, can be reached at all times and GENUINELY cares. J1 physicians On waivers are her niche, and I only wish I had consulted her 8 years ago so my current situation could have been prevented. Don’t be fooled by how unassuming she is, when she makes a legal argument, it stays made. I would recommend Ms. Pederson to ANYONE who needs an immigration attorney par excellence.
Jan Pederson changed my life. During a time in my life where I was under extreme pressure, had nobody to lean on, and was all alone she showed me the way and took care of my legal needs. She gave me hope based on facts and made me feel like I was in the best of hands. I was all alone in a new country, didn't speak English, and was pregnant. Jan is an angel dressed up as a lawyer. If you have not experienced her representation, I feel so sorry for you. There is no way, but Jan's way. Thank you Jan for everything you did for me. God bless you and you are always in me and my daughter's prayers.
I am a social entrepreneur, and this April I was invited to receive an Award in Chicago, where I wanted my mother to join me. This is, of course, a lot to ask because U.S. visas for Pakistanis are usually long and extremely difficult processes. And for my mother who had no job affiliation and less documentation to support her, I knew the task would not be easy. Jan came highly recommended and I reached out to her. I couldn't believe what happened next. Jan made sure she was very clear in her messages to us, about the documentation we need, about the application process, and I will never forget that long phone call to prepare my mother for her interview. We were sitting in a village in Pakistan and the phone connection was really bad, but with her patience and brilliance she prepared my mother for her interview appointment. The following week when my mother gave her interview, she came out of the consulate beaming with a new light on her face. My mother was now able to join me in my speeches in the US and talk about her journey. It has been a big hand in changing many peoples' lives. Thank you so much Jan for doing this for us. My mother has had a great visit. She is soon going to NYC to meet with great world leaders, and going back to Pakistan with great learning and development. I am forever grateful to you.
As a physician, I have been taught to strive for these qualities to be an outstanding professional – availability, affability and ability. Having Jan represent us on a myriad of complicated and time-sensitive immigration issues over the last couple of years, I can confidently state that she not only epitomizes these qualities but goes much further by being an ardent advocate for her clients. Able – I was introduced to Jan when she was under contract with my wife’s new employer and was working on her H1 transfer. Under the circumstances, the transfer was a sensitive issue for us with possibility of losing AC21 eligibility. Unlike other employer-contracted lawyers, who are often condescending or uncommunicative towards the beneficiaries, Jan and her team treated us as their personal clients. She understood our predicament and personally directed quick preparation of the petition, allowing us to keep the benefits. After this great first experience, we decided to retain her for our H4-EAD and EB2-NIW petitions and she has delivered on all counts. Our H4 and EAD petitions were filed right around the time the rule came into effect and we were served with a difficult RFE. Jen and her partners brainstormed the questions and came up with a very effective reply. I am certain that without Jen’s encyclopedic knowledge of immigration law, commitment and personal attention I would not be able to obtain the EAD and continue to work in the US. Jen not only prepared our EB2-NIW petition but she was personally able to obtain letters from state government which was a key to the petition. Without her help, obtaining those letters would have been a significant investment of our time and efforts. Jen also referred us to her equally outstanding partner, Elizabeth Quinn, regarding EB1EA petition. Both the EB1EA and EB2 petitions have since been approved. Available – Jan and her team have set the bar for open communication. From day one of our interaction, Jan has been available to us by phone and email, day or night. On urgent matters we had direct access to her and she would often respond within minutes to hours regardless of the time of the day. Affable – Communicating with Jan has Zen like effects. She is the ‘Yoda’ of immigration law. At every stage of these multiple petitions Jan gave us comfort, encouragement and inspired confidence. Talking to her, I knew she is the person I can totally depend on for the right advice without needing to scour the internet for obscure facts. Advocacy – Jen truly goes beyond the call of duty. She promptly called and refereed us to another attorney to protect our interests when a conflict developed during her dual representation of my wife and her employer. I am truly privileged to have her as my attorney and I unreservedly recommend her on all immigration matters.
I have worked with Jan for 20+ years. She is always there to help on the most unique circumstances. Is available day and night and even weekends if we have an urgent matter. I fully recommend Jan and her team.

On urgent matters we had direct access to her and she would often respond within minutes to hours regardless of the time of the day. Affable – Communicating with Jan has Zen like effects. She is the ‘Yoda’ of immigration law. At every stage of these multiple petitions Jan gave us comfort, encouragement and inspired confidence. Talking to her, I knew she is the person I can totally depend on for the right advice without needing to scour the internet for obscure facts. Advocacy – Jen truly goes beyond the call of duty. She promptly called and refereed us to another attorney to protect our interests when a conflict developed during her dual representation of my wife and her employer. I am truly privileged to have her as my attorney and I unreservedly recommend her on all immigration matters.
I have worked with Jan for 20+ years. She is always there to help on the most unique circumstances. Is available day and night and even weekends if we have an urgent matter. I fully recommend Jan and her team.
Ms. Pederson helped me out with my J-1 physician waiver at a very crucial juncture. Not only did she give me the right advice about what needs to be done in my situation, but she went ahead and got it done in time. Her expertise in this area and her wonderful team helped me to get my waiver approved. I'd strongly recommend her to any physician on a J-1 stuck with the waiver process.
We thank our lucky stars that Jan was sent to us. My husband is a physician and had some peculiar hurdles as a doctor who was on a J1 visa in the past. His perspective was deal with the best in the game and they will get you the best result. Our research led us to Jan. She over delivered - so amazed!!! She does the work of 5 lawyers mixed in one. She gave us her cell phone number and would call us at 10 pm or 11 to catch up on aspects of the case. We know that we have found that person who we will work with for the future for our immigration needs and recommend her heartily to friends and family.
I am a physician and with Jan's help I successfully secured a J1 waiver position as a sub-specialist in the state on NJ. She brings incredible experience to the table which has helped me realize my professional opportunity despite some very difficult circumstances. I am happy to recommend her to anyone with visa related questions and concerns or anyone looking for representation.
I am an IMG (internal tío al medical graduate) physician from Colombia. I came to this country not knowing the language 5 years ago. I had to leave my son for 5 years while in the process of doing my residency, which at the end due to a Visa requirement would make me go back to my country. In order to waive this, an extensive migratory process has to be done and here is where Jan appeared in my life. She represented me and took care of every single detail. Not only her but her ENTIRE team is full of amazing people that even though you can not see them (they’re in Washington and I’m in Miami) they feel like family. They give you the best advices, they take care of your emotions your needs, your concerns, and do EVERYTHING to help you out in this exhaustive process. Thanks God and Jan’s work I got the waiver and I can work as an U.S. doctor. I couldn’t be any happier and I ask God he gives me the opportunity of some day paying her and her team back for all. For now, the o Love you way could do it is by recommending her to everyone with eyes closed. Thanks a lot Jan Pederson for everything God bless you.
I was in the U.S. on a research scholar visa when I met my husband. He asked me to marry him, and we were very happy to be together. However, we thought that due to the two-year home residency requirement, that I would have to leave the U.S. for two years, and return to my home country before I would be able to return to the U.S. again. Jan and the other attorneys at Maggio-Kattar helped us through the long process of getting a waiver from both of our governments for the home residency requirement, and then through my residency, and finally to my naturalization ceremony. My husband and I are ecstatic at how it all turned out, and we are very appreciative to Jan's guidance throughout the process. While we could have potentially attempted to go through the process without legal counsel, it was very helpful to help us answer any questions that arose. I would highly recommend Jan and Maggio-Kattar for any legal immigration assistance that you may need.
Ms. Pederson has the experience, knowledge, wisdom, passion and belief that legal immigration for everyone entering the US is a must. I consulted (and hired) her after a truly malicious act by my spouse endangered the many years of my work here. She put together an airtight case for me with her team (including the fabulous Mr. Neil Sawyer) whom I will review separately, and I now have the freedom to work here legally while my case is being adjudicated. She goes above and beyond, can be reached at all times and GENUINELY cares. J1 physicians On waivers are her niche, and I only wish I had consulted her 8 years ago so my current situation could have been prevented. Don’t be fooled by how unassuming she is, when she makes a legal argument, it stays made. I would recommend Ms. Pederson to ANYONE who needs an immigration attorney par excellence.
Jan Pederson changed my life. During a time in my life where I was under extreme pressure, had nobody to lean on, and was all alone she showed me the way and took care of my legal needs. She gave me hope based on facts and made me feel like I was in the best of hands. I was all alone in a new country, didn't speak English, and was pregnant. Jan is an angel dressed up as a lawyer. If you have not experienced her representation, I feel so sorry for you. There is no way, but Jan's way. Thank you Jan for everything you did for me. God bless you and you are always in me and my daughter's prayers.
I am a social entrepreneur, and this April I was invited to receive an Award in Chicago, where I wanted my mother to join me. This is, of course, a lot to ask because U.S. visas for Pakistanis are usually long and extremely difficult processes. And for my mother who had no job affiliation and less documentation to support her, I knew the task would not be easy. Jan came highly recommended and I reached out to her. I couldn't believe what happened next. Jan made sure she was very clear in her messages to us, about the documentation we need, about the application process, and I will never forget that long phone call to prepare my mother for her interview. We were sitting in a village in Pakistan and the phone connection was really bad, but with her patience and brilliance she prepared my mother for her interview appointment. The following week when my mother gave her interview, she came out of the consulate beaming with a new light on her face. My mother was now able to join me in my speeches in the US and talk about her journey. It has been a big hand in changing many peoples' lives. Thank you so much Jan for doing this for us. My mother has had a great visit. She is soon going to NYC to meet with great world leaders, and going back to Pakistan with great learning and development. I am forever grateful to you.
As a physician, I have been taught to strive for these qualities to be an outstanding professional – availability, affability and ability. Having Jan represent us on a myriad of complicated and time-sensitive immigration issues over the last couple of years, I can confidently state that she not only epitomizes these qualities but goes much further by being an ardent advocate for her clients. Able – I was introduced to Jan when she was under contract with my wife’s new employer and was working on her H1 transfer. Under the circumstances, the transfer was a sensitive issue for us with possibility of losing AC21 eligibility. Unlike other employer-contracted lawyers, who are often condescending or uncommunicative towards the beneficiaries, Jan and her team treated us as their personal clients. She understood our predicament and personally directed quick preparation of the petition, allowing us to keep the benefits. After this great first experience, we decided to retain her for our H4-EAD and EB2-NIW petitions and she has delivered on all counts. Our H4 and EAD petitions were filed right around the time the rule came into effect and we were served with a difficult RFE. Jen and her partners brainstormed the questions and came up with a very effective reply. I am certain that without Jen’s encyclopedic knowledge of immigration law, commitment and personal attention I would not be able to obtain the EAD and continue to work in the US. Jen not only prepared our EB2-NIW petition but she was personally able to obtain letters from state government which was a key to the petition. Without her help, obtaining those letters would have been a significant investment of our time and efforts. Jen also referred us to her equally outstanding partner, Elizabeth Quinn, regarding EB1EA petition. Both the EB1EA and EB2 petitions have since been approved. Available – Jan and her team have set the bar for open communication. From day one of our interaction, Jan has been available to us by phone and email, day or night.
