I had started the process of bringing my fiancé over on a K1 visa. We had found an attorney who got us through the initial application process but they were non-responsive; often taking multiple emails, voicemails and weeks before getting an answer. We parted with the firm when my fiancé arrived in the US. We decided we could rely on our own research and submit the final paperwork on our own. We diligently organized all the required documents and steps and submitted our applications. Due to a technicality the applications were rejected. It was then we found Melissa at the Dominguez Law Firm. She was attentive, responsive and extremely knowledgeable about immigration policies and procedures. She cut through all the verbiage and simplified the matter for us. She stayed on top of our case and often advised us of any changes before we even knew. She also accompanied us to our final interview and was a calming influence on us. We are now proud recipients of a permanent resident alien status and we have Melissa to thank for making the process easier for us.

Very professional and straight forward. Melissa took our case and guided us every step of the way. No hidden fees, no BS, simply straight forward professional consulting. Highly recommended.

Glad to have found Melissa. Excellent service and reasonable in charges: a very rare combination. She is so easy to communicate with. Does excellent research, covers the basics, and answers the email/ phone( or calls back). My deportation case was pending before the judge, and the other attorney had dragged it out for so long. Melissa helped me get the case terminated in no time. Would recommend her without hesitation
