  This review is based on my true experience while working for an organization for whom Meltzer Hellrung has been providing the immigration services. Not only were they responsible and communicated to the primary applicant ahead of time but also their suggestions have proven very effective in getting the extension approvals on time and without any RFEs till date. They not only helped my H1-B renewal applications along with labor processing and I-140 applications, in addition they have also filed my wife's dependent visa extensions along with her work permits by filing them concurrently. Last time for some reason my wife's H4 extension dates were not matching with her H4-EAD timelines and to that they contacted USCIS and got us our approval timelines adjusted. Thanks for all your services especially to Ava and her team and wish you keep helping many other immigrants going forward.

  I highly recommend Meltzer Hellrung for immigration services. I worked with Beata, Matt and Stephanie. They have a great team and Beata has a great attention to detail. They communicated promptly and were able to win my O1A even after a dismissive RFE. They stuck through the process and fought the case with determination and professionalism. I would recommend their services to founders, employees or anyone who is in a different position of their Visa/immigration journey.

  I cannot thank the Meltzer Hellrung team enough. Especially Victoria Elias, Ava Morgenstern, Juliana Acuna, and Chenell Washington. As an immigrant, the journey can often feel overwhelming, uncertain, and at times isolating. Their expertise, responsiveness, and care made all the difference for me. In a moment when I needed strong guidance the most, they showed not only professionalism but also humanity. Their work gave me stability, clarity, and hope at a very critical time. What they do is more than legal support — it has a real, life-changing impact. I am deeply grateful for their help and highly recommend this team to anyone seeking trustworthy immigration support.

  I highly recommend Meltzer Hellrung for any immigration petitions. Beata, who represented my case, was exceptionally precise and built a solid, successful petition in a short timeframe. What truly stood out was the entire Meltzer team's dedication; they rallied together to ensure my case was filed promptly and were consistently responsive and guiding throughout the process. My sincere thanks to the whole team for their outstanding professionalism. Update - Beata is exceptional. With her solid presentation and strong representation of my case, our petition was approved smoothly. I highly recommend Beata as a go-to immigration attorney.

  Their clarity in communication, consistent professionalism, and attentive follow-up were exemplary. They demonstrated a high level of respect and responsiveness throughout the process, and I consistently felt they were advocating on my behalf to ensure everything proceeded as smoothly as possible, even in the face of challenges.

  I hired Matt Meltzer on the basis of a very strong recommendation from another Immigration lawyer. I'm a lawyer myself and I wanted to get an H1-B for my law clerk. We went through all the steps. Actually, I did almost nothing except for confirm facts. They took care of everything. Sure enough, we won the H1-B lottery and we're now finalizing the final steps to approve his work status. We couldn't be happier with the service we've been provided by Meltzer Hellrung. It was also surprisingly affordable considering the benefit we got from the filing.
