Client’s Testimonial:
I filed my NIW-EB2 thorough the WeGreened team [North America Immigration Law Group] and I was very excited to receive the approval notice message last night. The process from the filing took about 6 months. The WeGreened team [North America Immigration Law Group] are very professional in what they do, they are patient, considerate and with a very good attitude, which not many attorneys inherit! I worked with them without meeting them in person or even talking with them by phone. Initially it was hard for me to work with an attorney without knowing them in person or having met them at least once. But I am glad that I did! Therefore, I would recommend the WeGreened team [North America Immigration Law Group] for your immigration needs, particularly NIW.
