Testimonials
As an employer who worked with you to transfer an H-1B employee to our company, your service was extraordinary! You explained to me exactly the process, processed all letters, information and forms promptly with little work from me. What pleased me the most is that you always kept us informed continuously of the status of the process without us having to contact you! Lorraine Elshiekh
Mr. Lightman was extremely thorough with our case and most importantly, always available and cordial, unlike most others. We are very pleased and feel lucky that we found Doug for our immigration needs and look forward to using his services in the future. Nida Kazmi & Juwad Shah
From start to finish Mr. Lightman was there for me and my fiance helping us understand the confusing fiance visa process. I started off using a do-it-yourself package but quickly realized it was not nearly enough. With Mr. Lightman's assistance, I was able to avoid errors that could've cost us the visa. Deepak Patel
Mr. Lightman is extremely professional. He achieved the desired results for us without delay and without surprises. His quoted fees were reasonable and the job was completed on budget and on time. Sam J. Terzi
My husband and I approached Douglas Lightman to guide us through the application for Green Card through marriage. He was well prepared and immaculate. We had a very short time to file and Mr. Lightman made sure everything was correctly done and sent on time. He advised us regarding the interview and the application process went smoothly and quickly. Two weeks after the interview, we received the green card. In addition to being very professional, Mr. Lightman is very affordable. I already recommended him to another couple going through the same process and I will, without doubt, recommend him to anyone else who needs advice regarding immigration. Ana S.
