If you need to do a student visa this is the lawyer you are looking for. He really knows how is the process, he has updated info. It was hard for me to find someone that really knew how it was the process and what papers did I needed to present. I recommend Keith. My student visa has been approved this month.

La experiencia con Keith fue muy buena, siempre atento a nuestras preguntas y con pronta respuesta en lo posible.Cuando nos pidieron más información en el proceso nos ayudó a darle respuesta a migración y de la mano de Maritza ( que es súper ágil y rápida en ayudarte a enviar y a reunir todas la documentación que necesitas) enviamos los documentos adicionales de forma rápida. Nuestro proceso fue más rápido de lo que esperábamos y luego de 7 meses de comenzar con Keith ya obtuvimos nuestra residencia, Keith nos ayudo a preparar la entrevista y estuvo el día de la entrevista apoyándonos. Buscar un abogado que te acompañe en el proceso sea honesto y sus precios asequibles es difícil y estresante. Con Keith tendrás ambas opciones sin decir que habla más de 4 idiomas que te ayudara a entender más fácilmente el proceso si no hablas perfecto el inglés. Más que complacido y feliz con el trabajo de Southam law, Les deseo los mejores éxitos de cara a el futuro.

My wife was worried about going to a lawyer from the beginning, after going to multiple interviews to find a lawyer, we loved how easy and affordable Southam Law LLC was. If your case is complicated to you, then Southam is your law firm. We both loved how easy it was to trust him with our paperwork. Through the pandemic and multiple reschedules of our interviews with Immigration Services, I was not worried because we had Keith by our side. We can't thank him enough and love the work that he did with us. High recommended!

Keith helped us through our immigration process and made the whole endeavor more tolerable. Keith answered many questions that we could not find the answer to, and was there to assure us of the next steps along the way. Keith's communication is clear. Southam Law endured with us while we navigated immigration during the global pandemic and trump administration.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Keith during our Green Card application and we enjoyed working with him virtually and in person. He gave us clear and concise emails about the next steps in a way we could digest easily and kept us updated on changing laws that might affect our application. When we emailed him with questions he made sure to respond as quickly as possible. We also enjoyed the online service/portal that the firm offers which allowed flexibility with scheduling meetings.
