Over the last two years, we had the privilege of working with Emily. Her knowledge, expertise and overall professional approach made the process of getting my wife's J-1 Waiver approved much easier when dealing with all the complexities of navigating the immigration system. Her vast knowledge of the process, the approach we should take and her understanding of the uniqueness of our case specifically, really made my wife and I feel at ease throughout the process. Although nothing is guaranteed, Emily helped us build a phenomenal case that minimized the uncertainty throughout the process. I highly recommend this firm and if you are fortunate enough to work with Emily, you are in the best hands possible to accomplish the goal you are seeking to fulfill.

I was a J1 visa holder and worked as Foreign Exchange Teacher of CCSDNM from 2018-2023. I got married in 2021, and in 2022 was needing to waive the 2- year rule that my visa requires to continue to stay legal in the US. And as fate would have it, Atty Emily Rivard was highly recommended and in late 2022 began our client-lawyer relationship that saw my waiver approved early 2023, and culminated in the approval of my GC September 12, 2024. I have nothing but praises for the professional help that Emily and her team extended to the success of my journey. God has led me to a legal team that put my interest at the top of their list. Thank you Atty Emily Rivard. Thank you Battan Alpert Hutchings.

I worked with Emily from this firm. She was super knowledgeable and is a thorough professional. We had applied for my moms green card and failed to understand all rules and regulations around it. She explained us every detail of the process and helped us in straightening our paperwork which finally resulted in us getting the green card within a year of the new application. They even gave us references for interpreter for the USCIS interview. Highly recommend this firm.

They have an amazing and experienced team that provides quality advice and great care for details, which is crucial when dealing with the complexities of the immigration system. I was astonished by the speed of the DHS and USCIS response. I can only attribute such quick processing to the high quality and attention to detail of their filing. We are grateful for their amazing work. I commend their professionalism and that they care so much for their clients. In my case, my attorney worked through her pregnancy and the team made sure that the process continued even when she became unavailable, even if that meant that my documentation had to be filed one day after Christmas! I appreciate so much their work.
