I recently retained Ms. Montan to assist me in my application for US Naturalization/Citizenship. The case had some complications as I had spent a considerable amount of time outside of the U.S. She carefully reviewed my eligibility, advised on strategy and when appropriate, proceeded to timely file and process my application. The process was flawless. She did timely follow ups with me as well as with the government. Her fees were reasonable and her responsiveness to my inquiries was virtually immediate. She is personable and professional!!
Our company recently retained Ms. Montan at the recommendation of a colleague and former client of hers. She successfully processed work visas for two of our professional workers via the E-2 visa. Ms. Montan was honest and direct about our options. She explained processing and timelines in detail and answered all our questions promptly. We will use her services again.
I wholeheartedly recommend Lawyer Montan. I first worked with Ms. Montan when I changed employers and she handled my H-1B Visa. I had already had 5 years in H-1B status and she handled not only the the transfer but she recaptured unused H-1B time so that my status could be extended 18 months. Once my extension was granted she achieved in getting approval of my PERM Labor Certification within 4 months.My I-140 and I-485 were concurrently filed in 2007 and my greencard application was approved!!
Attorney Montan assisted my mother in law with the handling of her Residency application after the case had been mishandled by the American Embassy. Thanks to her, the case was resolved promptly (in less than 6 months) and Ms. Montan handled each of our inquiries with the highest degree of professionalism. She further assisted us in obtaining my mother in law's re-entry permit and advised us on the preservation of Residency. She is an excellent, trustworthy, responsive and knowledgeable attorney. We will definitely use her services again when its time to apply for US Citizenship. I highly recommend Attorney Montan.
