    Speaking with Ms.Stephanie Torrado, Mr. Lawrence J. Needle PA's immigration staff, was so great, and she did a fantastic job of explaining the current state of my case. She was really understanding and reassured me that they were dedicated to helping me keep my status and achieve success with my case. Thank you staff and Mr. Needle.

    They are extremely hard to reach, especially Elsy. We've called and emailed multiple times and didn't hear back or get the forms we needed from Elsy. Even if the submission of the documents isn't urgent, they should still respond to clients' messages in case we have any questions; especially when we were given the wrong information about the submission date and were panicking. It seems like their paralegals don't check their emails or voicemails regularly. The communication isn't always clear either. They seem quick to let go of a client if you ask questions about the fees.
