"Excellent Service!"
I want to thank Mr. Gaston and his staff for the excellent service they provide. Since we had our first appointment Mr. Gaston took his time to explain all the processes for the case and listen and answer all my questions in the most respectful and professional way. I always believed that everybody can do everything in life, but there are some things in life that is better to hire a professional to do the legal stuff because they are always informed and prepare to handle what they studied and loved to do. Ivanna is always very responsive, respectful and educated to comunícate the status of a case and everything needed to make this a success. Happy and grateful because everything is completed and I will recommend Gaston Law Firm if you need legal immigration service.

"I found the one person who care enough to walk with me through my journey"
I thought only the rich can afford the best. I thought most Lawyers were crooked and trained to act sympathetic, and take your money. I just about gave up on the Legal System, when a friend of mines said, "I heard of a really good Lawyer. You should give him a call." I put my life on it. It's one of the best choice yet to this date. I was treated with respect. What amazed me was that, I felt like I was his only Client. I surprised myself sometimes. When I started feeling like I had my own personal Lawyer. A GREAT Lawyer like Christopher Gaston, also comes with an AWESOME TEAM. Ms. Juliana is Secretary is very attentive to his Clients, and not only she's aware of our needs. She gave Mr. Gaston best interest at heart. I would recommend this whole world to Christopher Gaston law firm. He made sure to work with you. Even if he's not fit for the job. He won't mislead you if he cannot assist you. He's honest, caring, and a man of his word. I must say after years fighting my legal issues with Immigration. I found the one person who care enough to walk with me through my journey. I thank God he send him to me. I wouldn't have wanted it any different. I not only have my personal Lawyer. I found a lifetime friend.

"Always there, very polite, and professional"
Mr. Gaston and Ms. Ivana were always there, very polite and professional. At one point when I had to step back Mr. Gaston refunded some of my money back which at this day and age you don't expect. We obtained my husbands residency with no problems and there was open communication the whole time. I highly recommend this firm.

"The communication was top notch"
I found the Gaston Law Firm to be professional and knowledgeable and the communication was top notch so I knew what was going on with my mother's case. We spent alot of money on filing the wrong forms and getting nowhere before we started working with Chris Gaston and his team and now we are done and case closed! Thank you Gaston Team for a job well done. Highly recommend for your immigration needs.

"With a knowledgeable and professional firm, my case went from impossible to me having my residency."
I want to thank The Gaston Law Firm for the excellent service they provided. I could not have received my Alien/Residency card without the help of The Gaston Law Firm. The staff was extremely helpful during this process and Mr. Gaston's knowledge of the immigration laws was pronounced. Without his knowledge and the staff's ability to navigate me through this process it would have been implausible. I am forever grateful. K.L.

"We highly recommended everyone seeking help with immigration services to The Gaston Law Firm."
I had a lawyer that was working on my immigration case a year ago which I wasn't getting any form of results. I got so frustrated and did my research on the internet looking for another immigration lawyer, where I came across The Gaston Firm where I made an appointment. On the day of my appointment, I met Mr.Christopher Anthony Gaston and his wonderful staff from that moment I hired Mr.Gaston as my lawyer. I knew that I made the best decision, Mr.Gaston and I went over the situations that I was through and the way to move forward and immediately he started the paperwork. I was so confident knowing that I have the best hardworking dedicated and professional lawyer working on my case. A year later, I received my Permanent Residence Card in the mail all my frustration was over. My husband and I would like to thank Mr. Gaston and his amazing team (Katie and Ivana) from the bottom of our hearts for the hard work and dedication they put in our case. We highly recommended everyone seeking help with immigration services to The Gaston Law Firm.

FAQ

Common Answers To Your Questions

I’m a foreign national studying in the U.S., can I stay within the country following graduation?

To stay in the country following graduation, a student will need to obtain an H-1B temporary worker visa. Typically, graduates who work in a specialty field (such as a medical professional or engineer) will be able to obtain this visa with ease. To ensure that this process moves smoothly, it is recommended that students apply for this visa as early as possible to avoid penalties.
Can I become a citizen after I am granted permanent residency?

Yes! If you live in the country for five years as a permanent resident, you will be able to obtain citizenship through naturalization. To be eligible for this, however, you must have been physically living in the country for at least half of those five years – and must not have left for a time period longer than six months.
I am looking to adopt a foreign child – how can I make the process as fast as possible?

For those who are looking into adoption, but have yet to identify the child that they are interested in adopting, it is recommended that they file an Application for Advance Processing of Orphan Petition. This will allow for the portion relating to the approval of the parents to be completed by the time the child is chosen so that the adoption process can be expedited.
If I become a citizen, what are the privileges that I will experience?

There are three primary privileges that citizens can experience. These include being able to vote in local, state and national elections; having the ability to obtain a passport; and sponsoring relatives in their efforts to become a permanent resident.
