Success Stories

1. Ackeem  from Trinidad  - “Doriana is the best immigration lawyer in the D.C. area.  She changed my life two years ago when I finally received my green card after a 20-year struggle to fight for my rights.  I arrived in the U.S. when I was still a minor child and when my mother passed away I was left only with my distant family members who took care of me.  They had no idea how I could receive legal status in the U.S.  So, after graduating from high school, I found myself as an illegal immigrant, without a job and no way of finding any type of work because no one wanted to hire an illegal person.  Needless to say, I struggled for years to survive.  I met my beautiful wife 10 years ago and she tried to sponsor me for a green card, but my file was somehow misplaced by the INS.  After many attempts to contact the government, I had no luck in being able to locate my documents, many of which were original documents.  The years went by and I still had no right to live and work in the U.S. even after marrying the love of my life.  Several attorneys tried to help me, but only after I met Doriana I felt received the help that I needed.  She understood the situation that I was in perfectly and took action.  In a matter of several weeks I had my I-130 petition approved.  Soon after that I received a work authorization card and finally, my green card.  In just a few months, I will become a U.S. citizen which has been a dream of mine since I came to this country as a little child.  I can honestly say that Doriana is the best immigration attorney in D.C. and that she saved my life and my family.”    
   
   
   
   
2. Juan from El Salvador – “Ensley & Associates has the best immigration team in Washington, D.C.  I can testify to that because without their help, my family and I would not be here today.  20 years ago, my home country, El Salvador, experienced a civil war.  As a result, my family was persecuted, followed, and some of us were tortured by our own government.  We lived in fear that I cannot explain in words.  We didn’t sleep for weeks at a time and had hardly anything to eat.  We lost one of our children because we didn’t have food on the table.  We were homeless and afraid.  We got in contact with Ensley & Associates because they volunteered to protect the rights of people around the world who need asylum assistance in the United States.  We were very fortunate to find this opportunity.  These lawyers are kind, understanding, patient and very helpful.  Once we arrived in the U.S. we felt like we have found our new home and for the first time we felt safe.  I recommend Ensley & Associates to anyone who needs real help and someone who knows the ins and outs of the immigration system.”
   
   
   
   
3.  Zhao from China – “Doriana Ensley is a guru in immigration law.  I come from China and after having some pretty bad experiences with some other attorneys who tried to help me with my E-3 visa and my green card, a friend of mine recommended Ensley & Associates to me because of her prior positive experience with the firm’s immigration lawyers.  I immediately contacted them and that was one of the best decisions I have ever made.  Ms. Ensley handled my case with care and precision.  She followed the law and the strict deadlines.  Also, she didn’t charge me as much as the other attorneys that tried to work on my case.  She always answered the phone or called me back right away.  That was very important to me.  The whole process of receiving my green card based on my E-3 immigrant visa went smoothly.  I know that if I have any immigration questions, I can always call Ms. Ensley.  I recommend her wholeheartedly!”
   
   
   
   
4. Kusum from India – “I am originally from India.  I grew up in poverty, but never quit going to school.  My teachers there recognized my technological abilities from an early age and my parents decided that I should go to a good college in the United States.  After I received a full scholarship at Virginia Tech University, I attended the school on a student visa.  After graduation, I found a job as an engineer at one of the biggest technology companies in the Washington, D.C. area.  However, I needed a work visa in order to be able to stay and work here in the United States.  The HR department at my company contacted Ensley & Associates for help.  They handled my H-1B visa without any problems.  After three years, they helped me to obtain an H1-B extension.  In the mean time, Ensley & Associates helped me apply for a green card based on my exceptional ability in the technology field and my achievements in the my profession.  Now, I am a proud U.S. citizen with a great career and a bright future.  I thank the team at Ensley & Associates every day for their professionalism and dedication and hard work.”
