Boy, what a difference! I had to e-mail my PREVIOUS lawyer, call him, and wait at his whim. He was good enough for my case. My wife petitioned me and I got my 2-year green card. But no way was I going for the 10-year one with him! In stark contrast, MATT was proactive and diligent since day one. It was MATT who e-mailed me and called me to remind me of next steps! Mine was a complex case. I travel quite a bit (13 trips, 7 countries, and 307 days abroad at the writing of this review). Timing was everything. I had to be in the US do or die when summoned. MATT monitored all this. Not only was he a resourceful lawyer but a partner. We were able to time everything right. Immigration said I was getting my 10-year green card before a long trip to Mexico and Peru. But immigration messed up in the delivery! The card was sent back to them! I had to leave with the 2-year card expiring when I was abroad. Imagine showing up at the Miami Airport with an expired card!!!!!!! Well, MATT solved it and FedExed my card to México! So guess… who am I doing my citizenship with? Not just with an immigration lawyer but MY immigration PARTNER! Also, though very knowledgeable he would get peer advice when needed…. and charged me about half as much as my previous lawyer…

It had been a pleasant experience working with Matt Anderson in getting the green cards for my family. Though we faced many uncertainties, we will always assure that we can receive the best advice in the application process. His knowledge and expertise were clearly demonstrated, and all matters were attended to promptly. When my wife’s application faced some issues, it was handled with great care and concern. Her green cards were approved just before the deadline. I strongly recommend Matt for his friendly professional service.

Working with Matt Anderson for gettng our green cards was a very pleasant and smooth experience. He was most helpful and knowledgeable. He has a very professional approach with a personal touch. Right through the process, we felt confident and assured that we were working with the best. He was very prompt in answering our queries and every question was answered in detail. In our case we had some anxiety over our daughter turning 21 during the process. But Matt put in a lot of extra effort to make sure that she was included in our application. We are very, very appreciate of his help and professional input. Our green cards were approved and received in just six months. We would strongly recommend Matthew Anderson to anyone, any time.

Mr. Anderson was greatly helpful, informative and knowledgeable about his area of expertise; immigration. He went out of his way to make sure our case was handled well, and he saw our case through successfully. Everything was handled professionally and courteously. I highly recommend him for anyone with immigration issues.

I obtained the permanent resident status (from R1 Visa) by Matt in only six months. He is an honest and wonderful lawyer. I did not feel insecurity at all while applying for the permanent resident status because he has latest information and understands the situation completely. I strongly recommend him if you think you apply for the permanent resident status or the working visa. You won't be disappointed.
