I want to thank Mr. Michael Wildes for all his great advice and guidance in helping me and my husband obtain permanent residence in the United States. We reentered the United States May 2, 2017 with our immigrant visas. We obtained residence in the United States through the Diversity Lottery program having been selected out of millions of applicants from all over the world. Our main fear was traveling back to Ukraine to the American consulate to attend the immigrant visa interview. As long overstays on F-1 foreign student visas it was a huge risk to take as we had made a life here in the USA and we feared getting stuck in the Ukraine, but Mr. Wildes reassured us that there would be no triggering of the ten (10) year immigration bar because of the manner of our initial entry to the United States under duration of stay and therefore we were eligible for this process overseas. Mr. Wildes reassured us and gave us the explanation of the law in writing for presentation to the American Consul in Kiev and provided us with the confidence we needed to make this possible. After ten (10) years in the United States my husband and I were able to visit our parents and respective family members and return as legal permanent resident aliens. Mr. Wildes made all this possible and we are eternally grateful to him. We can't wait to become American citizens in five (5) years.

I had the opportunity of working with many immigration attorneys throughout the years. However, I have to say that Wildes & Weinberg is the best immigration firm in NYC. The moment I walked into their office, I quickly realized that Michael Wildes is a master at his profession — someone who could truly take care of my case. While some attorneys are slow and ambiguous when it comes to the stages of a petition, Michael went above and beyond by helping me map out the entire process in a digestible, transparent way. There were never surprises along the journey. Long story short, I’m still impressed by how fast, pro-active and well informed Michael and his team are. (Specially Lin and Julie.) They did an outstanding job in handling my case. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a more effective attorney. You definitely get what you pay for. Highly recommended.
