Rachel A.2/21/2021I've been with this law firm since I started this journey from Conditional Permanent Resident to a 10-year Permanent Resident, to a citizenship approval. I am very happy that everything went really smoothly and I had nothing to worry about but just wait. Now that everything is completed, I would def recommend them to anyone and will use them again in the future!!!

She was easy to work with and quickly responded to any questions I had within the same day or next day. During my first meeting with Scarlett she was welcoming and patient with the issues and questions about my situation. She was patient enough to answer all my super-detailed questions and defined the next steps. I was confident in knowing all my filings had been submitted accurate and in timely manner.
Scarlett went the extra mile when I was travelling outside of US. I had a feeling that I was going to have issues with the re-entry to US. However, she was responsive and helpful over the emails by answering all my questions and gave me instructions on what to do.
I will be working with Leiva Firm on my citizenship application as well and I would recommend their services to anyone. read lessIhsan C.12/01/2020Immigration process is painfully long however Scarlett helped me through all of the steps from Conditional Permanent Resident to a 10-year Permanent Resident.

Ms. Leiva and her team really helped my wife and I so much during her green card application, especially during this pandemic. Her team made the whole process very clear, and were always willing to answer our questions (which were a ton!) Would recommend for sure.
Mohamad A.10/15/2020Very professional and knowledgeable team that made sure everything worked out great. Would recommend to anyone looking for immigration services and the team being bilingual is a plus! 10/10

I highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking an immigration attorney.
Seeking A.7/21/2020Leiva law firm is the place to go when you have immigration problems. Me and my husband worked with Scarlett, she is professional and she patiently answered all our questions. She helped us prepare for the interview with USCIS leaving nothing to chance. I would definitely go back to her if needed.

We started researching immigration lawyer options. After the initial free consultation with Scarlett, we knew: 1) We had our lawyer2) We could breathe again, Scarlett would get us through all the steps3) In time, the government would have no choice but to recognize our loveThe process is painfully long. Our case was filed in June 2018 & we finally obtained our green card in November 2019. All along the way, Scarlett was so easy to work with. It was very easy to get in contact and receive a response to any questions we would have (and believe me, there were many) in the same day. They clearly define for you all the steps along the way and help manage your expectations for what's next. We will be working with Scarlett again when it is time to apply for citizenship. Now go get your love recognized by the government! Call Scarlett. read less
Tim P.4/23/2020Working with Scarlett and Betty was amazing! It was a smooth and quick process with no complications.

I highly recommend them. - Maisie & Victor

USPS lost my combo card when I most needed it, and when I reached out to the district governor and called multiple contacts who I think might help locate/escalate this case, no one seems to come through. Leiva team offered to apply for a replacement at no cost promptly. Luckily, I didn't have to do so since my interview was soon scheduled. My interview was scheduled one day before the field offices closed down. I'm so relieved to have it done before the shutdowns happened, and Leiva team was there every step of the way.Scarlett's team was able to return my emails within 2-3 days, I have not called the office that much as usually I won't be able to reach Scarlett that way. I find it more helpful to aggregate my questions if not urgent and send them to the team for response. Scarlett's team is very welcoming, unlike other attorneys I initially reached out for, whose barrage of questions seems to indicate their lack of trust and unwillingness to help. I believe trust and collaboration is what breeds the best teamwork. Scarlett, in her initial consultation, was very friendly and made us feel very welcomed, my case was very straight forward, and she did not make us feel questioned.I do think even working with an attorney on your immigration case warrants diligence and being detailed oriented. Go through the process in your head and see if there are any questions, if so, ask ahead of time. If the attorney can't get back to you in time, do it in a way that's safer than sorry. For example, I changed my name during the civil marriage, and before my biometric appointment, I was given the list of things to do, and did not include my marriage certificate, which was the only thing that can prove my change of name. I realized it last minute, and instead of asking and waiting for answers, I brought it just in case. There are instances like that the applicant/ peitioner still need to be mindful of, instead of completely relying on attorney. read less

The best part of having Scarlett sitting with you during the interview, is when you're nervous/forgetful, she politely reminds you of the papers you should hand in!

What I came to realize about Scarlett is that she is methodical and pragmatic and tends to play it safe without exaggerating the situation. She operates under how things 'actually work' at USCIS based on her extensive experience, as opposed to 'How they say they work' or based on other things you'll find on USCIS website or online forums (sometimes even disregarding some of the terminology in their outdated or oddly worded correspondence). All of which are certainly subject to your particular circumstance. Our case was pretty straightforward and despite many uncertainties, everything went according to plan and as smoothly as we could hope. Every step of the way Scarlett was both encouraging, supportive and set realistic exceptions for all the range of things that could happen. (Betty was also extremely helpful assisting us throughout the process). We live in SF but were interviewed in Sacramento and felt well prepared for the interview beforehand by Scarlett. We received approval shortly after we left our interview and my husband's card arrived about 7 days later :) Thank you Scarlett, our appreciation is immense. My advice to anyone going through this process is; think ahead, be mindful as the time passes to collect and request personal documents you might need, organize your supporting evidence in a way that a USCIS officer will appreciate and choose Levia law firm to help light the way and set your mind at ease! read less
