Do not waste your time she's a flow

She take my money I never hear from her again.

I would highly recommend Amy Novick to anyone who need a very professional legal work for immigration. By following Amy’s well-established procedure, I have been able to obtain a green card under EB-1-1 extraordinary ability.

After talking with several immigration law firms, I decided to work with Amy as she took time and gave me a professional advice with my first conversation with her. Not only does Amy understand the green card process but nuances associated with G-4 visa holders. Immigration is a very complex world of alphabetic soup from A visa to U visa. I am sure that Amy can help guide you to a successful immigration visa strategy and execution.

I contracted the services of Catherine Reynolds, Attorney At Law at Haynes Novick Immigration. She is fantastic! She was in charge of my Green Card process and then of my Naturalization Process. Not only did we get those two applications approved but the entire process was extraordinarily smooth.
She was always prepared (and helped me to be prepared as well). Clearly she knows the system and has vast experience in her field. If you have a complicated case, she is the right legal representative for you.

Joy was wonderful to work with! From our first phone call to getting my husband's green card 10 months later, she was supportive and helpful every step of the way! She is very thorough and made sure that we were prepared for our interview. She is extremely knowledgeable and happily answered our many, many questions along the way. I highly recommend working with Joy! :)

From the moment I called Haynes Novick until the time everything was worked out, Jim Tom, Lizeth, and the whole team at Haynes Novick we’re responsive and professional. In our initial consultation with Jim Tom, he was very upfront, honest, and extremely knowledgeable. He let us know our case was very straightforward and we could probably file the paperwork ourselves. But this is the kind of stuff you do NOT want to mess up on, so we hired Jim Tom to do everything for us and that was one of the best decisions ever. Our case worked out perfectly and it was wonderful to have him and his team on our side. Thank you Jim Tom and Lizeth!

It was outstanding working with Rina! She's a very kind,honest, positive and understanding person. She's always there when you need her advice even though I have asked so many dump questions; each time she has been always patient and helpful to answer me. You can reach her anytime if you have any questions or issues and she 'll do her best to help you out. She walked me step by step through the process of filing my case. It took us couple of months to develop a new petition and prepare all the necessary documentation. She has been always available and supportive. I felt lucky to have such a professional lawyer who knows every single aspect of what she's doing about my case even if it is complicated .I highly recommend Rina if you seek for a 1st class Immigration lawyer. Thank you for your professional work . I also thank all the staff from the secretary to whoever I met when I was there at office . All of them were really nice and attentive. Ana-Rina's assistant deserves all my appreciation as well since she was always helpful too.

I am based in Maryland. From submitted my case to received my green card took around 10 months. They were very professional. I felt very comfortable in this process because they were super helpful and friendly in this process. I would definitely recommend them to you and to my friends.

Rina Gandhi was the immigration attorney who assisted me with my filing for Permanent Residency and she did an EXCELLENT job. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. She is extremely professional, patient, always follows up and ensures the objective is achieved to the best of her ability. The firm on a whole provided me with the best service expected And even more. I would definitely recommend!

Where do I begin. It has been a long journey, from getting our greencard, removing conditions, and now today, being a naturalized US Citizen, a little over 4 years, wow!!!. Joy and her team have been exceptionally helpful, always available, always having the right answers at the right time, always well prepared and extremely organized. The level of professionalism shown was above and beyond expectations. Our case was treated as if we were the only one's on her agenda as she always finds time to be available no matter what time of the day .

Joy took an interest in our case and showed genuine concern and care in us as a couple. We certainly could not have been at this point, and in one piece mentally without her and her team.

I would highly recommend the Haynes Novick team. Joy Haynes will indeed help you on your journey and ensure all is well throughout the entire process.

Thank you Joy and team.

Joy and her great team accompanied us from the green card application all the way through the naturalization process. They were always one step ahead of the curve and made the whole thing very easy. Highly professional staff, excellent customer service, great attitude, and impeccable work ethic. Highly recommended!

We hired Joy Haynes about 3 1/2 years ago to help guide me through the challenging and ever-changing process of immigrating to the US. Simply put, I can't say enough great things about Joy and her team. In addition to being very friendly, responsive, straight forward, and well-versed in immigration law, we found her to be: knowledgable and experience about the system and process; very well organized with submitting evidence, applications, and meeting deadlines; prepared us appropriately for USCIS interviews; her practice's no-nonsense billing structure - she didn't up-sell services that we didn't require - such as accompanying us to our interviews; and finally her ability to manage our expectations throughout the entire process... Thanks to Joy and her team, I am now a proud citizen of the USA!

Amy has worked really well for me! Her assistant staff is kind and knowledgable. Amy is down to the point and will get things done for you.

Highly recommend Joy Haynes and Haynes Novick Immigration. They ensured that my marriage-based greencard was a smooth process - and that I was well-prepared for anything.

If you have any immigration needs - Haynes Novick Immigration should be your first call!

Joy's knowledge of the Immigration law and complete understanding of her clients made our long journey to my citizenship as easy and worry-free as it could possibly be. Joy knows exactly how to navigate the process for each of her clients. There wasn't a question or concern that wasn't addressed within literally minutes, and, more importantly, Joy anticipated every detail. Such combination of experience and customer focus is rare. We can't imagine doing it alone or with anyone else.

Jamie and I were looking to get help with the immigration process through our marriage. We found this farm through an app (I think) and got connected to Rina, our lawyer. I can’t say enough of her knowledge about the immigration process and filings, and the options she presented to us in our meetings. She was very accessible and always reaponded to our calls and emails, and when she wasn’t available her staffs let us know and took care of us. I personally respected that kind of professionalism. Not to Metion the payment help we got from their accounting.

Our application just got approved. Thank you so much, we could not do it without your help. ❤️

Haynes Novick immigration, did an excellent job. The team was great. Specially Mr. Jim Tom Haynes and Mrs. Lizeth zeledon for all of their hard work and efforts to process our case. They made the process easy and convenient. We could not have had a better experience with any other law firm.

We worked with Amy Novick on our green card application process. Amy is very professional, she provided guidance throughout the whole process and made it as smooth as this process could be. I would definitely recommend Amy and her team.

Great service and very useful guidance through the whole process. Immediate response to my questions. I would recommend Mr. Haynes and Ms. Zeledon to anyone in need of immigration legal advise.

I've been working with Joy Alegria Haynes, and she is AMAZING! She helped me get my green card, and made the process super easy for me. My case had some issues to it, but she took her time to explain everything to me and go through each and every single one of my documents. I definitely recommend her for anyone dealing with immigration. Lovely woman, amazing lawyer!

Ms. Haynes helped us with an immigration matter over several years and, because of her expertise in the field, everything went smoothly and efficiently. Going through a legal process can be stressful, but Ms. Haynes is a good attorney and is with her client through the experience until conclusion. It was a pleasure working with her.

Joy was my immigration attorney. My case was more complicated than expected, but she knew exactly how to handle every single requests from USCIS. I am not sure if I would have gotten my Green Card without her. Joy and her team were always extremely responsive, and clear about the process. She charged no extra fees and she was always available for questions. I would certainly recommend Haynes Novick Immigration to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer. She really care about her clients.

Jim Tom Haynes is an expert lawyer assisted by a fantastic team of support staff. The office is very responsive and tries to make everything as easy as possible for the client. Many thanks to Jim and his team (specially, Lizeth Zeledon)

Highly recommend! Amy and her team were very involved with every step and made sure we fully understood what was required which made for a very smooth experience. Had a very positive experience working with Amy and her team.

I was working with Joy Haynes during the process of US Naturalization (N400) application, she was best! This process was one of the most stressful of my life and Joy didn't let me to feel even stressed. She was very quick on responding my questions and very accurate. I highly recommend her!

I successfully worked with Amy Novick and her team. Amy is very knowledgeable and very responsive immigration lawyer, who was always ready with answers to my questions.

Joy made the green card application process painless and easy. She was always available to answer any questions we had and was very knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help on how to navigate the increasingly complex USCIS bureaucracy successfully and get things done on schedule! 10/10!

Amy delivered over and over again. Phenomenal knowledge and very effective. I have recommended her to everyone who has asked me about an immigration lawyer.

Amy Novick and Isabel are a really awesome team and helped me and my husband navigate the immigration process. They are professional, responsive, and able to anticipate problems that may arise. If you are unsure about who to go with look no further than Hayes Novick. They will be professional, up front, and help with any questions you have. I could not be more thankful to have such a strong team help me get my husband here.

I strongly recommend the superb services of Amy Novick at Haynes Novick Immigration to anyone who is seeking legal help in their immigration process.
Amy provided expert advice where others were unwilling to help with my difficult and unique exceptional visa and permanent residency immigration case. I had to apply to a J-1 waiver of the exchange visitor two-year home-country physical presence requirement and her expertise in this area was key for my case.
I am grateful for Amy and her Team and consider myself fortunate as I continue with her on my pathway to citizenship. Amy and her team answered all my questions patiently and thoroughly and made me comfortable with the permanent residency process. Her team helped with every aspect of the process, helping with forms and guidance at each step.

The best Lawyer in the DMV area Mr. David Rothwell he is professional and caring. He help my family with the residency petition and took the time to find the best route for us. Now I have pleasure to recommend that firm to my friends and family and everyone I have sent has the best experience with their cases.

We had a very good experience working with Joy Haynes. She helped to make our immigration process as smooth as possible. When I emailed her with questions, she always responded very quickly! She was very interested and encouraging, but didn't sugarcoat the harder steps either. Thank you Joy!

We worked with Joy on our immigration process to secure Permanent Residence status for my husband. She was absolutely fantastic. First, we felt that she really cared about us as our attorney and was invested in our relationship and case - her responsiveness and level of focus on us was so great. Second, she was extremely professional and had all the answers to our litany of questions, making the whole extended process of gathering evidence and completing all the forms very understandable and easy to follow. Third, when our case got a little bit complicated, she remained positive and helped us problem-solve. Her guidance and support was indispensable to us and we highly recommend her!

Incredibly grateful for the experience we had at Haynes Novick. As anyone who has gone through this process or is considering it can attest, Immigration proceedings can be really intimidating and anxiety inducing. My husband did a *lot* of research before settling on this firm, and did quite a bit of research on the background of each lawyer. We settled on Ms. Ghandi, and it was an excellent choice. We were made to feel very comfortable from the onset (the consultation) and didn't even feel the need to meet with any other lawyers. We were very well supported through every step of the process. The application went very smoothly and I've just received the last of my documents!

Haynes Novick team have been amazing with us from start to finish. Their team is dedicated to their clients and to make sure everything is done properly on time. I truly admire their work ethic and dedication to their clients and I highly recommend them. I am truly satisfied with their service

It was a pleasure working with Joy Haynes. We emailed the firm for help with applying for my green card in the summer of 2014 and Joy responded immediately. From that point onwards we knew that we were in great hands. Her attention to detail along with her experience helped us during each step to get a green card for me. After I got my green card, there was no doubt that we would use their services for citizenship and again she counseled us and helped us walk through each step and cross every bridge. Her team is dedicated and without doubt, we would recommend them in a minute. Thanks for all you help through our journey.

We worked with Joy through the lengthy green card application process and removal of conditions. While the journey is undeniably stressful, working with Joy made it as smooth as this process could be. Joy and her team are extremely professional, efficient and responsive. They kept us organized, confident and answered our many questions promptly and reassuringly. We would and wil recommend Joy to anyone who needs a great immigration lawyer. Thanks a lot Joy.

It was a long journey! It started with my own work visa, getting married and filing for myself and my wife's green card. Joy Haynes and her paralegal Leo helping our whole family of 3 getting our green cards and eventually citizenship. Thank you for all the insights, guidance, and patience! We wouldn't have been able to do that without you guys! Thank you especially for always being very responsive as well!

Amy Novick was our lawyer and she did excellent job that we received our green card in a very short time. She was very prompt, professional and knowledgeable about permament residence card and its processes. Highly recommend their service.

My husband and I worked with Joy for my green card application, removal of conditions, and naturalization, and we couldn't have been happier. Joy was a pleasure to work with, and was always extremely accommodating and responsive to our (many!) questions. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an immigration attorney.

Joy has helped me since day one, from my first VISA until I finally became American citizen this past July! She's always been very thorough, prompt and transparent. I highly recommend her and her firm!

Joy Haynes and Leo Santana of Haynes Novick Immigration did a very good job with my case.It was time sensitive and needed a different strategy because of updated rules and regulations. They were prompt and professional at all times but still ensured to make rapport with their client.

Joy helped my wife and me to complete our Green Card process (EB2). We already had our ETA 9089 certified with the help of another lawyer but when it came to status change, it was more complicated due to some factors and we were afraid that he cannot handle it. One of the reasons being that he is very careless and unprofessional. We always had to try our best to study the whole Green Card process and review all the forms he prepared ourselves to notify him about hundreds of mistakes. We got really lucky to still have the ETA approved by his work but we decided to stop leaving it to chance by looking for a new lawyer.

We searched online and found that Joy is one of the highest rated immigrant lawyer in DC area. When we talked to our friends, we realize that one friend also consulted with Joy and she gave Joy a lot of compliments, so we decided to contact Joy.

I called Joy first but couldn’t reach her. However she called me back within 30 minutes. She spent the next 30 minutes talking to me to understand our situation and gave me general advices regarding our case. And it was free! Impressed with how professional, knowledgeable and responsive she was, I asked her to officially consult on our case. We sent over all our documents but she was busy with some other cases at the time so she promised a time to give us feedbacks on our case after reviewing it. And she did as promised, very on time! Given the fact that our previous lawyer was able to get our ETA 9089 approved and Joy not knowing how unprofessional he was, she even suggested us that maybe we don’t need her help and just let him finish the process. That’s when we know Joy is a very work ethic oriented lawyer as well! Quickly we decided to have Joy take over our case.

To summarize, Joy is:
1. Knowledgeable: Not only she is knowledgeable about the whole Green Card process but also about other visas/programs which we were involved in such as J1/J2, CBT, OPT, marriage at an embassy, etc. …
2. Professional: Joy is always on time, always keeps promises and lets us know in advance if she out of office. She also always follows up to stay on top of everything.
3. Very responsive and effective in communication: Over the course of 7 months, we wrote almost 200 emails back and forth (!). Joy usually responds within 30 minutes and if it’s rush, 5 minutes. She’ll address all our questions in the very next email.
4. Diligent and meticulous: Most forms that Joy prepared had no mistakes. All we have to do is that if we have some concerns here and there we would talk to her to see if adjustments need to be made.
5. A great planner: Joy always has everything ready for our next step. From when USCIS transferred our application to NVC for visa processing and notified us, it just took us another week to submit all the papers to NVC. Preparation for this already took place 6 weeks prior! Time was sensitive to us, so we really appreciate that Joy can help us to save a lot of time by planning ahead!

We asked Joy to take over in January and now it’s July, here we are with our Green Cards! The process went so smoothly and quickly that we cannot be happier with Joy. We are just really lucky that we found Joy.

And also thanks a lot to all the accurate reviews that we found online on Google, LinkedIn, Yelp and Avvo. We will post this review on all those sites hoping someday it will help others just like it did help us.

At the referral of friends, Joy Haynes of Haynes-Novick Immigration provided invaluable help in steering us through a permanent residence application on the basis of a same-sex marriage. It was a pleasure to have worked with her over the course of nearly a year, from her initial consultation to outline our immigration options, through to our marriage and subsequent petition for alien relative and adjustment of status application, and finally to our marriage interview at U.S.C.I.S. and conditional permanent residence status. From the start, Joy was exhibited the sincere interest, expertise, competence, and unhurried thorughness that prepared us for what might follow and for a timeline with some built-in uncertainties. We were put at ease in a sometimes unnerving process knowing that we had Joy as our attorney, and never felt that we enjoyed anything less than her full (and immediate) attention at every step. We are happy to recommend Joy Haynes for her professionalism, knowledge and experience, and genuine care and interest she takes with her clients.

I found Haynes Novick Immigration on Yelp. I will be eternally thankful that my first phone call was to Haynes Novick Immigration and that Joy Haynes picked up the phone. From our first conversation Joy was compassionate, clear and organized. This combination was exceedingly important to me. Immigration is personal matter and Joy treats the issue with the compassion and respect this matter needs.

Joy guided my husband and i through the green card process over an 11 month period. While working through this process, i had questions related to a career move and Joy even provided me with guidance about questions i had related to that.

The following characteristics are the reasons i would recommend Joy Haynes and Haynes Novick Immigration to anyone i know:

1. Joy knows her stuff. This is evident in the way she explains immigration guidance. I've worked with several immigration lawyers over 16 years and Joy is by-far the best.
2. She communicated with us constantly. We never had to remind Joy about a response. She always responded to us.
3. The firm is well equipped to gather necessary information from clients. When we signed-on with Joy, they had packets of information with clear guidance on what we needed to provide to them to move forward. This minimized any back and forth and made the information transfer process extremely smooth.
4. Lastly, but to us was the most important to us: In Joy we felt we were working with a lawyer that truly had our best interests at heart. We trust Joy immensely.

Thank You Joy.

I was referred to Haynes Novick Immigration through a client of mine. I was looking at starting the Green Card process through employment for both myself and my wife. After my first meeting with Jim and Joy, I knew that this law firm was going to everything to help me out. It took sometime to convince my work (no fault of Joy and her team) about sponsoring my application. Once I got all the approvals sorted out, Joy and her team went to action. Preparing documents, asking questions and making sure that everything was perfect. Whenever I had a question, no matter how ridiculous it was, I got an answer immediately.
We predicted that our case would take a decent amount of time, however by diligent work from Joy we got our Green Card in record time (From start to finish, 1 year).
I cannot thank Joy enough for how much she has helped both my wife and I, if you are looking for an immigration lawyer who is entirely on your side and will fight for you every step of the way - look no further.

Amy Novick is an exemplary immigration attorney. She assisted my family and I with moving from L1 / L2 visas to Permanent Resident Status (Green Card). Throughout the process, Amy was thorough, calm, extremely efficient, reassuring and personable. Her knowledge and experience are second to none, and her patience for my endless questions was very much appreciated. She is also super-responsive. Every email was answered almost immediately, and Amy did a great job of allaying any concerns and worries, without making any promises or creating any false expectations as to the certainty of the outcome. I could not have asked for any more, and would wholeheartedly recommend Amy to anyone requiring an immigration attorney. I have a number of colleagues who have also used Amy, and the praise for her is unanimous. She is simply the best there is.

I have never met a lawyer in any discipline as helpful, competent and, most importantly, warm as Joy. Working with her is more like having a super-smart friend at your side than having a cold professional who may or may not actually care. The entire firm is conscientious and low-pressure. Cannot recommend this firm enough (and I do, to all my friends who need the representation!)

Joy Haynes was recommended to us by dear friends, who had been in a very similar immigration situation. We are a lesbian bi-national couple, that was in need of a Green Card for the foreign partner, to allow her a life with her wife in the United States. From day one on of our process, Joy was very helpful, when it came to answering all of our questions. Though our contact with her was 100% online, she was always available and quick to answer questions through emails, give us guidance and when required, she would talk to us via Skype in preparation of all our legal steps. The long distance between Miami and Washington, DC was no problem at all. We felt we were in good and reliable hands, which was important to us. Thanks to her unbiased and positive attitude and her capable staff members (Raisa, Rina), our worries and anxieties over the whole process got done away with and replaced by optimism and peace of mind, which was a big deal, as everybody knows, who has "been there".
We highly recommend Joy Haynes and Haynes Novick Immigration Law Firm, if you are in need of a lawyer - especially for LGBT matters. We felt extremely well-represented by her and will definitely work with her again, when the time comes. Thank you again, Joy & Staff

Amy Novick was the only Lawyer I could have a regular conversation over the phone!
I work at the World Bank Group, and thus my whole family holds a G4 Visa. My three children had met the 7.5 years required for them to apply for a Green Card, so I started to ask colleagues for Immigration Lawyers. In the WBG intranet page there is a list with a dozen of possible options. I called and/or emailed at least 7 of those names. Most of them had an assistant that knew nothing about the process and, at best could, book a consultation appointment within a week. Others had answering machines.
Amy was the only one that picked-up her phone the first time I called, kindly responded all my questions in my first phone call with her, and showed real interest in me and my family as clients. She explained what we were responsible for, what she would do, how long was the whole process likely to take, how much we had to pay the US Immigration Services, and how much were her fees.
A week after we spoke over the phone, we were signing a service contract, she accompanied by email the whole process, confirming we were going to the appointments we needed to go to, biometrics, etc, and after no more than two months, in what for us was a seamless straight forward process, my three kids got their green cards in the mail.
Some of the other lawyers responded latter, but to be quite honest, they made me feel that they would be doing me a favor and/or they could not be bothered, thus had me talk with their assistants. Amy was the only one that had a service oriented attitude, heard what I was asking, and provided knowledgeable straight forwards responses.
Price-wise they all charge more or less the same, but kind-quality service has no price.
I recommend Amy Novak to anyone.

I would like to thank you "Haynes Novick Immigration" Jim Tom Haynes and his employees, especially Rina Gandhi!!, for providing excellent service & recommendations for me through the long and complicated asylum case.

I had the other attorney office experience before (I wish I hadn't))), and was referred to HNI by an acquaintance. No delays, mistakes or any other issues I had with Haynes Novick. However, if anything was going wrong during the process, it was handled professionally in timely manner.

I definitely recommend Haynes Novick Immigration services for anyone who are looking to get help with their immigration status.

My husband and I highly recommend Joy as an immigration attorney. We applied for change of status in June 2015 and my husband received his green card within the predicted timeframe. She made the experience completely easy and stress-free. Even though we live in New York, all the paperwork was conveniently handled by email and all meetings were conducted via Skype. She thoroughly explained every step of the process and promptly replied to any questions or concerns we had. It was a smooth, flawless experience and we are very pleased with the outcome.

My partner and I had an amazing experience with Joy Haynes at Haynes Novice immigration to get my green card. We had been especially concerned when we filed our case because we are a same-sex couple and DOMA had just recently been overturned, so we were not sure what to expect. We are also both transgender, so finding a lawyer who was knowledgable in trans issues and immigration law was a top priority. We were impressed by Joy's professionalism, expertise, and ease with which she handled our case. We highly recommend her for other LGBT couples seeking a great lawyer for their green card applications!

We just got my husband's green card after this past Christmas and as Joy said "It’s a Christmas miracle!"... I believe so too. We got married in August 2015 and applied all the forms by the end of September 2015 in Cleveland, OH. All the process of collecting necessery documents was really easy by the guidance of Joy and Raisa (our case manager). I would strongly recommend Joy as your immigration attorney even though she is in a different city as you live. All our conversations with her were accomplished via Skype or e-mails (this method worked really good because she responded really fast, on weekends, late in a day). Thank you, Joy and Raisa.

Joy has been my lawyer for the last 4 years during that time i receive my temporary green card, my permanent green card and my american citizenship.
during the entire time i worked closely with joy and her office stuff.
service was super fast, efficient and professional.
there was not a single question that haven't been answered within hours and every thing went smooth and stress free.
i would highly recommend Haynes Novick Immigration.
As a person that makes his living in the service industry i know and appreciate good personal service.
you will find that with joy and her stuff.
cheerse

Joy Haynes was recommended to me and my husband by another immigration attorney to help with my husband's green card application. My husband was in the country on an H1-B visa (through his employer) and we were eager for him to receive permanent residency through marriage.

We were married in December and Joy helped us to file our paperwork literally the day after our wedding. She is quick, efficient and navigates the system easily. Joy made sure we were well-prepared and well-informed each step of the way. She is extremely responsive and communicative. Joy provided us with accurate and helpful coaching in advance of our INS interview, and we felt well-versed and ready the day of. We received my husband's green card just a few weeks later. All in all, Joy made this process (which can seem overwhelming) smooth and easy. She clearly enjoys what she does and is a pro.

I would absolutely recommend Joy to those searching for an immigration attorney.

If you are seeking a same-sex immigration attorney / lawyer for the green card process in Virginia, Maryland, or Washington, D.C., I wholeheartedly recommend Joy Alegria Haynes. Joy is extremely fair and transparent with pricing; there are no surprise fees. She was very responsive to our questions, and no question was too small. Joy understood the challenges of the process, and was a nice blend of compassion and skill. She is very conscientious, kind-hearted, professional, empathetic and very knowledgeable. Joy is dedicated to working with the LGBT community on immigration issues. It was a pleasure working with Joy.

I highly recommend Joy Alegria Haynes as a lawyer / attorney for U.S. same-sex immigration and the ‘green card’ process in the states of Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC. After inquiring about same-sex immigration (via email) with several attorneys in the Washington, D.C. area, my husband and I were most impressed with Joy’s prompt, professional and succinct reply. Her fees are extremely reasonable. She delivered on all aspects of the immigration process.

Throughout the entire process, our emails to Joy were always answered the same business day, usually within a couple of hours. There is a lot of waiting for immigration officials to process various aspects of one’s green card application, so having a reliable and diligent lawyer was very comforting.

Joy is extremely well-organized and efficient. Having an outside, objective professional involved in a process that can be emotional, given its importance, was critical to achieving a happy outcome. Joy brought us tremendous peace-of-mind. Nowhere was this more important than when we were preparing for the interview. I was nervous about the interview, but as with all steps, Joy went over the process with us and ensured that we had all our documentation in order. Also for my peace-of-mind, we had Joy attend our interview. The interview went extremely well because of the prep that we had done with Joy.

If you are seeking legal representation in your same-sex immigration application, Joy Alegria Haynes is a dedicated, knowledgeable and kind-hearted professional.

Glen Moulton

Joy and her team were an absolute delight to work with as we navigated the process of adjusting status due to our same-sex marriage. From our intial meeting, to the moment DOMA was struck down, to the day my husband got his green card, she was our cheerleader and champion. We never felt alone and could not have asked for more support or encouragement, or better guidance in navigating the minefield of immigration.

I encourage anyone in a bi-national relationship, whether LGBT or not, to contact Joy for help in the immigration process.

Not only is Joy Alegria Haynes extremely knowledgable about bi-national, gay families---she genuinely cares about GLBT people. WIth all the angst and hesitation we had in finding the right attorney to handle our green card process, we couldn't have been more fortunate to decide on Ms. Haynes. Truly a joy from beginning to end.
