Researcher

"I am very grateful to Pazega Associate for their excellent work for my I-140 approval, which I received ten days ago. The great thing about working with Pazega is the level of expertise they have in putting your scientific background and research experience into a strong petition. They wrote the reference letters exceptionally well and presented the petition letter that highlighted the original contribution of my research the best possible way. At the time of my initial submission, I had 8 publications, a total of 400+ citations, and about 15 reviews done for various Journals. After eleven months, I got an RFE. I was disheartened as I thought I had a strong case. My attorneys never let me feel down and came up with an excellent plan how to respond point by point for addressing the RFE. I am pleased that the strategy they adopted convinced the USCIS officer to approve my EB-1A petition. I am currently working with my attorney on my I-485 application. After learning my experience with Pazega, two of my colleagues (One from Taiwan and one from India) are working with them on their petition. I have recommended another colleague of mine (from Japan) to do the same. I will recommend anyone who is interested in a permanent resident application to work with Pazega."

"I received my EB1A approval within 8 days after an RFE was requested. I was with the the firm for nearly 1 year and was quite confident since the beginning to have my EB1A approved going by their extreme professionalism, careful reviewing of my materials/letters and seeking appropriate documentation from me that would support my case. My original filing (PP) was very professional and excellent and I did not need to make any significant changes in the petition which looked very impressive. However after RFE was issued (not entirely because my petition was weak but partly because the adjudicating officer missed and misinterpreted some of the submitted documents), the petition that was prepared in RFE response looked unsatisfactory in contrast to my impressive original petition. I found it to be very generic which did not answer specific questions raised by the adjudicating officer. I had to make significant changes, carefully responding to all the queries of the adjudicating officer case by case. The changed petition was accepted by the firm for submission. My I-140 was approved within 8 days of RFE response submission. Overall I am extremely happy with their quality of service and professionalism. The strategy I followed to make changes in the RFE response was learnt from the original petition which was prepared by them. I strongly recommend anyone willing to file EB-1A to approach them as according to me they are the best in the business. A friendly suggestion to the firm: Please do not give the entire responsibility to prepare petitions to inexperienced attorneys as probably what happened in my case after the RFE issuance, resulting in a "non-impressive" initial RFE response."

Thomas Jefferson University

Epidemiologist

"My 1-140 petition under EB1-A was approved within 10 days (pp requested). Thanks to Pazega for their excellent work on filing my petition. They evaluated my case for free and offered me their "Approval or Refund" service. Their entire process is so streamlined from the start to the end. They were very patient with number of questions and always responded within 24 hours, sometimes even within an hour. They gave me a great guidance on how to emphasize my accomplishment and achievements. Once I prepared the summary of all my research work and accomplishments (with the help of their outstanding step-by-step instructions and samples documents), then they took it from there. One of the many things I liked about them was that their willingness/patience in revising reference letters and petition letter multiple times. They made sure that I am completely satisfied with the final product. Pazega excellent work is evident by their high approval rate. I am very glad that I retained them for my I-140. I strongly recommend anyone to Pazega for their I-140 petition."

It is great to work with such dedicated and passionate people. The entire process was very streamlined and clear, the attorneys were extremely helpful prompt in responding to my queries.

"I would like to thank Pazega for helping me out to apply eb1-a. I have received the eb1-a approval for less than 10 days. Although they did not offer me refund or approval policy, they have prepared an outstanding petition. The whole process from contacting Pazega to send the petition letter took less than 4 months. They filed the petition and it took less than 10 days to get an approval. I have already recommended to others the law group."

"I want to thank you for all your diligent and hard work that helped me retain the approval of my i-140 under EB1-A classification. The professionalism display by this law firm made this stressful process a much less stressful experience for me."

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Postdoc

"I would like to acknowledge the excellent service provided by Pazega. Their support and patience was essential for the approval. I have published 9 papers in high impact journals and have >250 citations. I have reviewed more than 25 papers and serve on the editorial board of a handful of journals. Despite an excellent petition prepared by Pazega, my petition received an RFE and was eventually denied at NSC in September 2017. While I had lost hope, the attorneys at Pazega convinced me that I have a strong case and should consider re-applying. I had a job offer at Boston, MA, thus allowing me to refile at TSC and my petition was approved in 14 days. My experience working with Pazega has been nothing short of excellent, despite unfavorable outcomes along the way. I would highly recommend their services to anyone considering the EB-1A route."

The Jackson Laboratory

Postdoctoral Scientist

"My I-140 petition (premium processing) under EB1A category was approved only in 14 days, on 24th January. I am a postdoctoral researcher working in the field of Structural biology and Biochemistry and I have 12 publications with 7 as first author that are published in good journals like Nature Chem Bio and Nucleic Acids Research. I have ~65 citations, One provisional patent filed and a tech transfer agreement with a company, conducted review for ~14 manuscripts, a young scientist award at Johns Hopkins for outstanding contributions, research highlighted independently in several news and media. I was very much worried to due less number of citations. But, Pazega team presented my case very strongly by highlighting several other achievements. They wrote very excellent recommendation letters in their own format and language that I had not choice but to believe in them. They prepared a very strong petition letter. Whenever I had any query or doubt, they responded very quickly and assured me to believe in them. To my surprise, my I-140 was approved in only 14 days without any RFE. I have to say, we can blindly believe in Pazega team. I would highly recommend them to everyone."

Washington University School of Medicine

Postdoctoral Fellow

"My I-140 petition got approved under EB1A category. I am postdoctoral researcher working in the field of Organic Chemistry and I published ~10 papers, had citations of ~140, conducted review of ~25 manuscripts for various reputed journals. I was worried by looking at the recent trends of decline in approval rate of EB1A petitions, and as anticipated I got RFE in 10 days, after I filed (PP). However, the excellent strategy to defend my RFE and the ELEGANT work/best advises of Pazega attorneys, in choosing the appropriate recommenders (additional letters for RFE), drafting the recommendation letters and response letter by emphasizing my accomplishments, made my dream possible. I am really glad that chose Pazega attorneys. I strongly recommend Pazega."

Columbia University

"Today my I140 under EB1A was approved by the Nebraska Service Center. It's a relief. My application was submitted end of October 2017. I received 1 RFE. I have been very impressed with the professionalism of the staff at Pazega Assoc and l would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lawyer for their green card process. I was especially impressed with the response they drafted to the RFE, which was a strong but polite response. The other things l like about their work are the detailed instructions, prompt responses, and a confidence in their clients abilities which is very reassuring!! Thank you!"

Machine Learning Engineer

"My EB1A I-140 with premium processing got approved after almost 3 months with one RFE from Nebraska Service Center. My initial application with Pazega had 6 recommendation letters, 7 published papers, 1 book chapter and many conference proceedings with a total of 187 citations. I am the first author of 6 of my papers and book chapter. I had independently reviewed 24 articles in premier journals. Within 4 days of my initial submission I received RFE and Pazega Attorneys (Cindy. A and her team) helped me to prepare a very very strong RFE response. The RFE dossier we together prepared, emphasized primarily the use of my research work in others by collecting recommendation/testimonial letters from independent researchers who used them or cited my work more than 10 times. All together, the whole group (attorney, reader, writer) worked with me relentlessly (almost side by side) in a period of 2 months (very tight RFE deadline with multiple holidays in the month of Nov and Dec) with a very focused plan. Their utmost diligence and attention to minute detail ultimately resulted in a very successful RFE response and an approved I-140. I am very satisfied using Pazega and very thankful to my friends who recommended me Pazega. I gladly recommend Pazega to my friends and colleagues too. Thank you for your help."

"My EB1A I-140 (PP) petition recently got approved by TSC. I would like to sincerely thank the attorneys from Pazega for their hard and professional work. I had a fair case to start with, 18 publications, 175 citations, and 29 reviews. The attorneys wrote strong recommendation letters and provided excellent petition packet to enable the smooth approval even without RFE. I will definitely recommend my friends and colleagues to work with Pazega for their cases. Thanks again!"

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Postdoctoral Fellow

"Postdoctoral Scholar - Electrical Engineering When I was hesitating to choose an immigration law firm for my EB1-A I-140 petition, my colleague who is working in the same project strongly recommended Pazega. Only after I filed my case with Pazega, I could fully understand why he gave me so strong recommendation on Pazega. First, Pazega handled my case as if it's theirs own. My I-140 petition was sent from Pazega to TSC right before Christmas. Due to the large volume of packages in the holiday season, an unexpected delivery exception occurred although the address was correct. Pazega had tracked the troubled postal mail to intercept it for quickly resolving the delivery problem during out of their working hours in Christmas holidays. I am so grateful to Pazega for such timely and kind support, with which my petition mail was found on the next day, and USCIS could receive it in the next week. My EB-1A I-140 case was filed with premium processing and was approved 10 days after USCIS received my petition. Second, Pazega had handled my case with tremendous patience. My case took a very long time compared to others. It took almost two years as I had many things happened in my work and family and I couldn't focus on case preparation. I am so thankful to Pazega for their patience and continued support over this long time. I feel what Pazega have done for me indeed goes well beyond the typical responsibility range of immigration law firms. Third, Pazega has a very well organized system and clearly documented procedures. I-140 petition was much more complicated than what thought. The extremely detailed step-by-step guidelines and samples from Pazega corrected several of my misunderstanding and saved much of my time. Multiple teams and attorneys, who concurrently reviewed a different part of my petition file, did a superb job in a very short time and I could get most of the responses to my questions in 1 business day. The bottleneck in the schedule during my case preparation was always in my side. Lastly, the attorney reviewed my application. Otherwise, since there are multiple teams in Pazega who are preparing and reviewing a different part of my petition, I think it will be quite challenging to maintain a high-level of consistency to achieve such a high case approval rates. Since my I-140 case was approved, I have been giving my strongest recommendation on Pazega to all my friends and colleagues who are preparing I-140 petition for US permanent residency application."

Please choose Pazega to file your green card. Thanks again!"

"I wish to take this opportunity to thank Pazega for helping and guiding me through the EB1A I140 petition that successfully got approved. I was specially impressed by the reference letters and petition documents they drafted, as I was not expecting someone to understand and articulate my research work so well. The group is extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the green card process, and any questions I had were answered promptly and to my satisfaction. Overall, I've had a great experience working with them and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to file their green card."

"Pazega is a really professional team, who worked with me with full of patience, and successfully got my EB1A I-140 approved. Although I got a RFE initially, the team analyzed the RFE carefully and made effective strategies. After sending the RFE documents, the case was approved in one week. I would definitely recommend Pazega to anyone who are planning to immigrate. BTW, there is a specific telephone line if you prefer inquiring in Chinese, and the representative is very helpful."
