You Are T.
My wife successfully immigrated to the United States from Tunisia, filing with Ashoori Law Firm. My assigned Lawyer was Giselle Rodriguez. I am a US Citizen, my wife a Tunisian National.
Married my wife in Tunisia back in Aug of 2023, began filing immediately for a Marriage Visa beginning with a I-130. The initial lawyer fee was $3,500 paired with a Filing fee if $500 roughly. i spent about 4500 overall id say from start to finish getting my wife to the USA.
Giselle and her team (Vanessa - manager and Julia - assistant) were kind, and friendly, quite knowledgeable.
Giselle handled filing and ordering evidences.
Julia was helpful with aiding us in putting together out interview documents and visa filing.
whenever communications was difficult Vanessa was swift to respond and get answers. I will warn immigration takes time.
As a US citizen filing for my spouse our I-130 took approx 14 months to be approved, our visa application around 4 months, Embassy interview about 2 months, plus 2 weeks to get her Passport with the visa in it back. upon landing USCIS customs was a little challenging as they first couldnt find her file. SO I STRONGLY SUGGEST bringing copies of all files related with you at the ready. we made it through though and now we are together finally as of 11-24-25. it took it over 2 years filing but with Ashoori we have successfully united. They are simple and easy, they go above and beyond to ensure youre peace of mind that all will go smoothly.

They will walk you step by step through the whole process and make it work.

They assigned an attorney to me and he made the process easy and painless, my application went through right away with no issues. I would recommend them to everyone who needs assistance with their immigration process

I would like to thank Ashoori law for getting my E2 visa approved.  Michael’s entire team was incredibly helpful and proactive with continuous follow-ups on the case status. The Business Plan team was also very cooperative and patiently worked through multiple edits and revisions (they revised the draft seven times without any hesitation!).

A very special mention about our assigned attorney Pardeep Singh.  Pardeep was fantastic to work with, friendly, highly organized, attentive to the smallest details, and always pushing us to prepare documents accurately and on time. We were very impressed with the attorney letter and supporting materials he submitted to the Consulate.  He accommodated our schedules for meetings and prepared us thoroughly for the interview, which made a big difference in our confidence.

I highly recommend Ashoori Law!
