Samia’s extensive background and experience was helpful in all aspects of the application process, from an extremely well organized petition letter (for the national interest waiver) to templates for reference letters to much advice on wording. Such expertise made the otherwise complex and worrisome application process very straightforward and smooth. I had my green card in hand within 4 months of Samia’s team submitting the application.
