About

I have lived the immigration process and not many lawyers can say that. My first exposure to the complexities of US immigration law occurred when I was empoyed by the United Nations High Commission of Refugees in a refugee camp in Thailand. In the mid 90's the immigration laws changed drastically, penalyzing families in the camp who had already been approved to live in the US for engaging in certain, how can i say, illicit behaviors.  Admissions were enough to disqualify families from being allowed to enter the US. This struck me as unfair and very unAmerican. It was during this period of time that i wanted to help those who were stuck in the immigration web.  My further contact with immigration law occurred some years later, again before i was an attorney when i petitioned for my wife for her residency in the United States.

Johnathan took on a very difficult immigration case for my wife and I involving a 601 Waiver. It was a long process but he kept us abreast of the cases progress. Requests by the Visa Center for additional information were made and he responded promptly. Ultimately we were successful and her waiver was granted. Would highly reccomend.

I have been working with Jonathan Bartell for quite a few years now. Giving the complexity of my case I would not want anyone else to represent me other than Jonathan Bartell. He is always on top of things and gets everything done in the timely manner. His knowledge of the immigration law and attention to details was the key to my success in winning my case. I could not be happier with the outcome! I would definitely recommend mr. Bartell to anyone who is seeking strong representation of their case.

Jon was very straight about my difficult situation, as the case progressed it changed substantially and he was able to handle the many bumps my criminal history caused. He worked hard, kept me informed and i felt very secure when in trial and despite all the problems i was able to prevail. Thank you Jon

Had a serious problem with my h filing. Time was running out and then I had to leave the us because of family demands in a third country. I provided mr Bartell the drop dead dates (4 days after filing) I could remain. Mr Bartell and his associate worked tirelessly with a supervisor in California and were able to get the visa approved and then forwarded to the third country.

We hired Jonathan to manage my wife's immigration paperwork. Unless you want to have to babysit someone do not hire this guy. Even though I gave him everything he needed right away it would still take them months to file the paperwork. Literally over a month to file her change of status and 8 MONTHS to file her work permit. I didn't know the work permit should have been filed until USCIS told us in the interview(otherwise I would have been all over him about it). I brought it up to Jonathan and he said he would look into it since it was in his contract to file it. He said if he found out they didn't he would reimburse me some money. Instead of reimbursing me he decided to try and file it at that time, so they could say that they did, which didn't matter because she was already about to receive permanent residence. She could have been working for 8 months, receiving health benefits for 8 months. Save your self some time and work with someone who is actually going to work for you. I literally had to come unglued with him and his team to get them to do anything for me.
