“The only immigration lawyer who can help clients obtain US citizenship is Vanessa K. Mathisen! Vanessa is a high professional, responsible, cultured in communication. She is the best! From the bottom of my heart I thank the lawyer Vanessa Mathisen for her hard work in our difficult case!”
“VKM really came through for a family member on a complicated, difficult, and long lasting case. Went above and beyond. Also had to untangle a substantial mess from the first outfit that had their hands on it. Would recommend to anyone. Should be your first stop.”
“Simply put Vanessa and her team are exceptional. They walked with us through the ups and downs and we came out victorious. Just wanna say thank you and keep up the good work.”
“Vanessa found a solution to a complicated set of circumstances which impacted a member of my immediate family. Thanks to her brilliant approach and strategy, she was able to help my family after another local attorney with a top reputation told us there was nothing to be done. I would recommend her and her outstanding team for anyone looking for compassionate, innovative legal work.”
“I lead a nonprofit that works directly with over 1,000 immigrants annually and I’ve met with Vanessa Mathisen and her staff numerous times for consultations. They are highly professional, understand the nuances of immigration law, stay up to date on latest developments, and always treat clients with respect. Their staff speak several languages (including Spanish and Russian). In particular, in working with Ukrainians in the US on Humanitarian Parole, Vanessa Mathisen has been very helpful to those I work with as they try to explore options for more permanent immigration statuses.”
“Vanessa is an advocate that knows how to navigate the immigration process and keeps up with the always changing laws. She is firm with the government and compassionate with her clients.”
“Vanessa and I met when I was going through divorce and got denied for my citizenship. To say I was stressed is not to say anything. She walked me through the process gently but firmly. Days turned into months of paperwork and waiting. Almost a YEAR later I’ve received a letter! GRANTED! Thank you, Vanessa on not giving up on my case and help me to live in peace in this country.”
“Knowledgeable in both the law and process. Firm with government. Compassionate with clients.”
“Vanessa is a very good and frank person. We had a good working relationship. She can always advise you in a good way. She helped me get my citizenship and my son’s as well. She always answer the phone in and if she can’t she always calls back. If she can’t help you, she tells you where you can go for help and try to make sure you are happy as a client. I would recommend her to anybody needing legal services.”
“Vanessa is the best at what she does. She does not come to play. You will not only get excellent service but results as well. Look no further than VKM Law!”
Frequently Asked Questions
More About Our Legal Process
How long does it take to get a green card?
It varies, depending on how you plan to come to the United States, or how you came to the United States originally. If you came to the United States and a spouse, parent, or adult child petitioned for you, it will likely take substantially less time than through other processes. It’s wise to choose seeking the advice of an attorney before you embark on that journey. In many cases, an experienced immigration attorney can save you a lot of time and money by advising you properly on how to proceed with your specific situation. Allium Law PLLC’s immigration attorneys are experienced in dealing with this issue and can advise you about this.
How much does it cost to get a green card?
The costs vary depending on the circumstances. If the petition is already approved and a visa is available, it depends on where you file. For cases filed from within the United States, the government requires a filing fee paid to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service to process the application. For cases filed from abroad, the government requires fees paid to the Department of State for consular processing, which is where an officer at the embassy or consulate in the home country or place of residence would issue the visa. The visa issued at the embassy or consulate is not the green card, but the person achieves legal permanent resident status once they travel to the United States. How much the fee will be for your case depends on your situation, and you must consult with an immigration attorney to determine that. Allium Law PLLC’s immigration attorneys are experienced in dealing with this issue and can advise you about this.
What if I have worked in the US without a work permit?
The government requires you to have a work permit to accept work and for an employer to offer you work in the United States. But people do what they have to do to survive, and not all employers are as discriminating or as scrupulous as the law requires them to be. In some cases, it will not be a problem because there are exemptions in the law for specific persons. In other instances, there may be waivers available. It is wise to speak with an experienced immigration attorney about your specific situation. Allium Law PLLC’s immigration attorneys are experienced in dealing with this issue and can advise you about this.
What if I used a social security number that wasn’t mine?
The government may charge individuals who have used a stolen social security number with identity theft or fraud. Without knowing how the number was obtained, or what the purpose of its use was, it is hard to say for certain if it will negatively affect you. Certainly, if you were charged with or convicted of identity theft or fraud, that will very likely be a problem. However, in some cases it is not. It’s wise to speak with an experienced immigration attorney about your specific situation. Allium Law PLLC’s immigration attorneys are experienced in dealing with this issue and can advise you about this.
