I came to Isabel Machado and her team to seek information and help on obtaining my spouse's US residency. From the moment I spoke to Isabel on the phone for the first time, the consultation and the duration of the Immigration process my spouse and I felt like family. Isabel and her team walked us thru every procedure with detail. Isabel is a very and highly educated lawyer that knows the law. In our case experience the process was fast. I highly recommend Isabel and her team to assist anyone with any Immigration Filling or just simply with any questions and concerns dealing with Immigration law. Thank you.

They handled everything for me. All I did was wait for the application process and after waiting for the application to push thru I finally got what I applied for. Everything was smooth from the very beginning, getting updates from Isabel,Amadeus, Diane, and Gurjeet. Thank you so much for everything guys!

I cannot recommend any business more highly. Isabel has been such a blessing for my company through multiple rounds of H-1B applications. I would never consider using anyone else for immigration matters.

When I was looking for a lawyer, I wanted someone who would not see me as a case only. I live in DC, and at start I was hesitant to hire immigration lawyer from CA. After the consultation with Isabel, i was 100% sure to have her represent me( petition from father to daughter) Here are some of the facts about Isabel and her team: - we started the procedure 2017, and until it was finalized she or someone on her team would contact me for updates. - She is knowledgable about every single section, subsection of laws, . - She sees her clients as people not as cases. She strives for quality - Her team, Diane, Amadeus are also down to earth people who want to accommodate the clients to the best of their abilities. - on the day of my interview she flew from CA to DC although she was very sick and could barely talk.
Whoever is thinking of hiring her to represent your case, don’t hesitate. She has the knowledge and experience to guide you through the procedure. Above all, she has the determination to help her clients.

She was a really good onest attorney but since she decided to be involved in her son's school she change she is not doing her job good anymore my brother needed her help we whent to her because she was good and she told.us alot of things gave us hope and after the second appointment i notice something was wrong because she asked the same exact question from the last meeting it looked like she.didnt know anything about my brother case we had to refresh her memory every time we went to see her and at the end she told us she couldt help because there was nothing she could do to fix him we told her but u told us that he had alot of ways now u forgot what u told us she gave us alot of reasons that to me sounded like she just didn't have time or she didn't care about helping people anymore because thats how.she acts now before she did care now she doesn't she has change how sad. Because a lot of people needs good attorneys like her like she was before not like how she is now if u have a complicated case don't go with her she wont help u anymore dont waste ur money she is not going to help u try someone else that wants to help and that actually cares about ur case because her is taking care of other stuff not her cases anymore sorry she change she was good is hard to find good attorneys and the good ones change when they don't care anymore and just want ur money sad just sad

Isabel is a great lawyer and a great person. She helped my mother and father even after other lawyers had said they didnt have a chance at obtaining their US residency. Thank you for all your hard work.

Isabel is one of the best lawyer you can find! My mother married a citizen. In 2006, my mother passed her naturalization interview and became a citizen. My brother automatically became a citizen because he was under the age of 18. Back then, we had a lawyer named Thomas who did all the paperwork for us but for some reason he screwed up our I-130 form. When I passed my interview, the USCIS lady stopped us from taking the oath because they want I-130 form. We went to talk to a few lawyers and some refused or hesitated to accept our case. Some didn't seem to have the knowledge of the case. Isabel was the last person on our search list and I knew that she was the one when I went in to see her. After 2.5 years, my sister and I became citizen.
With this being said, Isabel changed my life forever. She is very knowledgable and knows what she's doing. She's one of the smartest women I've ever met!

I am honored to be a colleague of Isabel Machado's. She is an exceptional immigration attorney and cares about her clients. She is the one immigration attorney that I trust my clients with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for superior immigration legal services.

I went to Isabel Machado for assistance with my Green Card application, as I had newly arrived in the States after marrying my American wife. I had looked at submitting the application myself but I found it extremely confusing and did not want to make any mistakes, which would have been very easy to do. So I decided to go to an expert for help, and it was undoubtedly the best decision I could have made. Isabel and her husband Amadeus (who is the office manager) were the up-most professionals, clearly very experienced and a pleasure to work with. Right from the start she was up front about the likelihood of our application being accepted (which thankfully she thought we had a strong case) and gave us the best advice on what we kind of visa we should be applying for. She is not the kind of attorney to take on a case that she does not believe will be successful (therefore wasting everyone's time and money), which I highly respect and appreciate. We were given clear tasks to perform in order to build the strongest case, we had regular meetings when necessary and she was with us every step of the way. Her experience and knowledge gave us such confidence in our application, when we perhaps a little apprehensive. Prior to the big bad interview she performed a little mock interview with us to ensure everything would go smoothly and was even there on the day, which we both appreciated hugely. She came to the immigration office and sat in with us during the interview, which took all of our nerves away. She even knew all the immigration officers by name (and the seemed to like her), which I think says a lot. The whole process of our green card, I'm sure it might be different for others, took about 5 months, but that is because the US immigration department messed up a whole load of applications so there were delays. In terms of price we are extremely happy with the fees that we paid as we had looked at other immigration lawyers and Isabel's were a lot better and as I said, we could not have been happier with her services! It didn't apply to us but she is also bi-lingual too if required! So thank you ones more Isabel and Amadeus, without you I may not still be in this country! I will definitely be using your services again for my citizenship application! Jon.
