I came to Scott for assistance in my I-130 & I-485 application due to complications with my previous application which had been moved to Los Angeles due to relocation. Scott and his team was very helpful and set me up with a meeting to go over the application forms and the process of the interview with USCIS officer. Scott was very thorough made sure my forms were filled out and filed accurately. Although Scott was not able to join me in the interview he did have another attorney at my side in the interview and everything went very smoothly. I would highly recommned Scott Mcvarish for immigration attorney.

If you have any immigration needs or issues, I would highly recommend Scott's services. Scott is highly knowledgeable about a very complicated system. I would not advise doing the paperwork without a lawyer and Scott is very honest and reliable, which is a must in this area. Any questions I had were always answered in a very timely manner. Gianina is a great part of Scott's team and was always great to work with. When dealing with immigration, the money spent on a good immigration lawyer is worth it and will more than pay for itself in the long run and Scott is the one I would recommend using. Scott and Gianina were always so caring and I cannot thank them enough.

Thanks to Scott and Gianina my naturalization process went as smoothly as possible from start to finish. Both are extremely professional, caring and positive people. The moment I walked through their door I could tell that I was in good hands. During our initial consultation we discussed potential issues in regards to some of my paperwork/ documents while at the same time developing a strategy on how to address any potential problems. Both Scott and Gianina were always available to take my calls and answered all of my questions thoroughly. Scott gave great advice and did a fantastic job preparing me for a successful interview. In retrospect my case turned out to be relatively simple, but just giving me the ease of mind throughout the process was worth every penny I spent. Overall I couldn't have been happier with my experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Scott to anyone who is looking for an immigration attorney in the Los Angeles area.

Mr. Mcvarish's and his team did a great job. Our case was complicated and we did everything in that was requested of us and Mr. Mcvarish got right on it and even though it took a while to get answers from ICE/Homeland Security, my husband finally became a U.S. Citizen this week.

Having had a green card's for 23 years I was very concerned about my eligibility for citizenship because of a legal issue I had in the state of Louisiana. Scott and his staff were able to obtain the necessary papers from Louisiana therefore proving that this issue had been resolved. After being initially very nervous everything was resolved satisfactorily and I took the Oath as a US citizen on December 13. 2016

I have been holding my green card for more than 10 years now. Few years back then, I had a misdemeanor case, so I was worried to change my status. I consulted attorney, Scott McVarish and he was professional and very helpful to answer all my questions, helped me prepare for my application and went to the immigration interview with me. Scott McVarish is very knowledgeable, and confident. I believe he is a great choice to help your immigration process! Thanks to him and his office, I will become an American citizen on 2016!
