"Our family is very pleased with the personalized legal services we received"
It was very stressful to start our immigration process but after we met Mr Gaston and his Paralegal Ivana we learned what was needed under our specific circumstances. They prepared all the forms, guided us regarding all the required documentation step by step (we were able to uploaded many pieces of information on line via their private portal), and kept us informed during the entire process. After waiting for several months, we finally had our interview just three days ago and the results were 100% favorable . Our attorney, Mr. Gaston went to the interview with us and was of great help specially when the INS officer could not find right away some documents that Mr. Gaston had submitted on our behalf (Mr. Gaston had digital copy of our entire case, forms and documents, right there on his Ipad!). Our family is very pleased with the personalized legal services we received from Mr Gaston and his Paralegal Ivana, and recommend without any doubt his firm to anyone needing legal assistance. We are a real family living in Florida who are now stress free thanks to Mr. Gaston and Ivana. Thank you both!

"I honestly don't think that anybody could've handled it any better"
Ok, today Mr Gaston and katie, who helped translate for my wife,accomplished his work and we succeeded by getting my wife her permanent residency. From the beginning to the end Mr Gaston made the process as smooth as possible, which is what we were looking for.His assistant, Ivana, made sure everything was in place and organized before sending anything out. In saying that, they are humble but a very professional firm. I honestly don't think that anybody could've handled it any better than Mr. Gaston and his crew. I was able to contact him and his crew at anytime and sure enough they were there with a quick response. Finally we got there. Thank you very much Mr. Gaston and my dad would've appreciated everything you did for us. And thank you for the recommendation on the MBA book.

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.
