K3 VISA

Impressed beyond infinity

I liked Peter's calm, honest, and balanced approach to our very difficult immigration problem. He is very organized and responsive. He filed both of our cases with the DOS and USCIS promptly and the process went without a hitch. He is very intelligent and knowledgeable, but your success will also depend on your willingness to provide as much information and detail as possible. Peter will be able to organize it in the most effective way. We've just learned that our case was approved. Hoorah!

Green Card through NIW

Went very smoothly. Very fast responses to my inquiries. Always sent me an email when a status would change. Peter sent me a list of items that I needed to submit to him, and after that he took over and managed everything in a timely manner. I never needed a lawyer before, and this was a very easy first experience.

A patient and professional attorney!

Peter is great. I found him online and scheduled an interview with him, letting him review my CV. He gave me very honest suggestions and we decided to work on my extraordinary ability alien worker permanent residence petition, the EB1A. It took me a long time to gather information: recommendation letter, publication, etc. etc. During this time, Peter is very responsive and guided my questions timely. He also finally decided that I had enough evidence and should submit the petition. When I was waiting for the approval, he is still available to answer my questions. My case was submitted in June 2011 and I received my permanent resident card at the end of 2011, which is, according to many of my friends, super fast and smooth. I highly recommend Peter as your immigration lawyer.

Excellent legal service

The office of Mr. Peter did a great job preparing and submitting my application for a green card. During my interview, the immigration officer said "your lawyer submitted a well prepared application". The interview could not have been more comfortable. And my application could not have been better prepared. Thanks to Mr. Peter and his assistant Jen's professional work. I definitely recommend this office for all your immigration services and needs.

The Best Lawyer Ever!

Peter is very professional and honest lawyer. Believe me, I have done an extensive research and his name was always coming up. I hired him last year to help me to obtain a green card. He was very quick to response and he explains everything clearly. He even checked my recommendation letters! When I moved, the green card of my wife was sent twice and it was returned. He and Jen handled this issue for no additional fee. Thanks to him and Jen I got my green card in less than 4 moths. He is really good. Trust me. I highly recommend him! I’d give him 10 starts if I could.

Committed, Insightful, Efficient

This is the best law firm I have had the pleasure of doing business with. They came highly recommended by close friends. I was easily able to convine my company to hire them. While I had very high expectations at the start, I was pleasantly surprised to see Peter and his team surpass all my expectations. Extremely intelligent and committed team, highly effective, efficient and there to stand by you when you need them most. I highly recommend this firm with no reservations.

Highly recommend Peter Messersmith

First time I used Peter’s services about five years ago. My friend recommended him to me. I am from NY, and at first it was awkward to start the whole process without even meeting Peter in person. But looking back I can say that I did absolutely right choice. Peter represented me in EB1 and NIW cases in parallel. NIW was approved first and now I am happy permanent resident. During the whole process everything was communicated to me clearly and in timely manner. I was always getting same day e-mail reply to all my questions. All requirements, steps and forms along the process were communicated clearly without any hassle and rush. Second time I was a client of Peter’s firm a month ago. He helped to put case together for my relative to obtain a tourist visa to USA in US consulate abroad. My relative’s visa application was rejected several times before, this time we decided to look for Peter’s help. And he did a great job – visa was issued. Overall, I highly recommend Peter’s firm for immigration related services.

Great Service

Peter Messersmith and the Messersmith law firm were instrumental in leading our permanent residency application. Peter filled a complete and strong application to USCIS and our green card got approved in 3 months. I would trust the Messersmith law firm with all my family’s and friend’s USCIS needs. My previous experience with other immigration lawyers are that they are expensive and in many cases do not follow through to the last bit; the service I got from the Messersmith lawfirm was extraordinary.

Peter resolved the most complicated case

US consular officer had put a lifetime ban( 212) for misrepresentation and my case was very very complicated. Peter made a successful representation and got the ban removed. This is almost a miracle. I have engaged some of the finest lawyers in USA for immigration in the 10 years that i stayed there and i can say that Peter is by far the best.

Greeb Card Application

Peter's precious counsel made my adjustment of status from OPT student to permanent resident extremely easy. My wife and I appreciate his timeliness as well as thoroughness in dealing with our case. The whole process lasted less than three months from the date we filed for my green card. I know this was possible only thanks to Peter's capacity to prepare the most meticulous application ever, while always keeping us in the loop about our situation. I highly recommend Peter to anyone needing an immigration attorney.

Green Card through NIW

Have nothing but good things to say about Peter. He was very responsive and helpful. Peter was referred to us by a friend who also had a very positive experience. He helped us put together our application under NIW and saw the whole process to its successful conclusion. From the very beginning we were happy with how he handled our case, so that we referred him to one of our friends who then successfully applied under similar circumstances and also spoke very highly of Peter.

Highly Recommendation for Mr. Messersmith

Peter is an excellent immigration lawyer, the top of the best. Immigration is a stressful journey and all of us wish an happy ending in our cases. Peter is an expert in the immigration and he did his best in my case to get it approved. Jennifer also provides the best assistance to me in my case. She is very knowledgeable about the immigration and very friendly. Peter made my impossible case to be possible and I received my green card this week. He really made it happen. I highly recommend Peter to be your immigration lawyer. You need a lawyer to work with you and fight for you in the immigration issue. The Messersmith Law Firm will be your best choice.

I do recommend him to my friends

Got my GC through EB2 case in 5 weeks after application.

Reliable attorney

There is no doubt that Peter is one of the best attorneys for the immigration cases. I hired him in mid 2012 based on strong recommendation of a friend of mine and after less than a year before finishing PhD, got my GC. I highly recommend this nice guy to the others and make them sure that he is the one who can help them out truly to handle their cases in the best manner. Once again thank you so much Peter and wish you all the best from bottom of my heart.

Outstanding Immigration Attorney

Had a somewhat complicated case to remove my conditional permanent residency. Initially filed the application myself which was probably not a good idea and led to the complications. Initially visited with a very prominent immigration attorney in the area who pretty much said I had no shot of getting my case approved. Almost giving up on the application, at the 11th hour decided to reach out to Peter based on his Google reviews. Shared my case with him and the feedback I had gotten from the previous lawyer. He was very courteous and re-assuring during the consultation, disputed most of the prior feedback I had received and knew exactly what documentation I needed to provide. Throughout the process, he kept me informed. I recently just got my case approved and would strongly recommend him.

Excellent Immigration lawyer

Peter Messersmith handled my EB1 and NIW case. Eventually both my NIW I-140 and EB1 I-140 got approved and now I have green card. I am very satisfied with Peter's professional service. He never gave me false hope. Before he took my case he clearly explained all the pros and cons. Most of the communication was through emails and I always got all the questions answered promptly. Their prices are reasonable. I would definitely recommend Peter as an immigration lawyer to anyone!

Thanks Mr. Messersmith for your great work.

I will strongly recommend this lawyer because he is a very responsible, trustworthy and very professional. Since the beginning he gave me hope with my case, which was very difficult. He informed me about the possibilities that I had and how he was going to do everything. Honestly, his work is excellent.

Excellent legal service

Mr. Peter and his assistant Ms. Jen are the best in their domain. I am not from Chicago, nor do I live there, but I chose Mr. Peter for my case based on the high reviews I read about him. He ensured a successful case submitted on my behalf. I definitely recommend his office for your legal service needs.

The best immigration lawyer in Chicago Land

I would like thank to Peter Messersmith and his staff. Due to my previous lawyers mistake my wife's immigration case is extremely difficult. After 11 long years, we received our green card. Because of his honest, highly professional and outstanding service. Our family greatly appreciated his staff everything did for us. Today, I am proudly said that he is the best immigration lawyer in the USA. I am highly recommended your Law Firm if there is someone needs help in immigration case. Thanks again. A Job Well Done !!!!!!!!

Very good experience

I got my green card with the help of Peter and his law firm through NIW. He was very responsive throughout the process and everything went smoothly for us. We really did not encounter any issues. I sure recommend him to other people.

Great expreience throughout

I recommended Mr Messersmith to my employer based on the reviews on this website. I'm glad I followed my hunch and the good reviews written! My employer has previously submitted an H1-B petition application on my behalf but was denied for reasons of not fulfilling conditions to be considered as cap exempt. Even after fulfilling the conditions, my employer suggested hiring a lawyer as the time was getting tight. I was reaching the end of my extended OPT and any delay could mean discontinuity in my employment; something my boss was trying to avoid. Mr Messersmith was very helpful, available to answer calls or return them promptly. He's quick and knows what he's doing. The status was granted only within 5 days of submission (with premium processing). The fastest and easiest process ever! Thank you Mr Messersmith!

This attorney is the best - even working remotely

He is just the best, he got my I-140 NIW approved with TSC without a single RFE. I referred a few more people to him. His prices are reasonable, he is just the best. That's why I hired him. I met him personally in IL, then moved to VA. We communicated via email most of the time, but you can have him call you or you can call in and talk to his assistant Jen.Overall, I am super-super thankful to him for all the help he has provided me.

Got me my Greencard!

Mr. Messersmith left no stone unturned and worked diligently on my Immigration case. He got me my Greencard in a very timely manner- actually sooner than I expected. He made the whole process so smooth for me, and thoroughly guided me along the way. He always answered my emails promptly and made time to talk to me on the phone. He took care of all the paperwork- all I had to do was sign. He is very knowledgeable,respectful,trustworthy and kept me well informed on my case. Getting a Greencard was a breeze because of him. His price was very affordable too. As an immigrant,I am so glad to have found such a good lawyer like Mr.Messersmith. I am going to choose him for citizenship also, as well as recommend him for my relatives and friends. Also, even though I do not live in Chicago, it did not matter. We were able to communicate just fine through email and phone, and my case progressed smoothly and now I have a Greencard. I would not have seen this day without the help of Mr.Messersmith. He is very kind and humble also, and very easy to communicate. He is very understanding of immigrants and the problems we face everyday.

Really happy with the service.

My EB1 green card application was a source of stress for me before I first contacted Peter but after his initial assessment of my case, which gave me a lot of confidence in the feasibility of the process, his help in the compilation of the requisite material and the eventual filing of application were invaluable. He made the whole operation really straight forward at least for me (I am sure his end of the process was anything but). Also the timelines he predicted turned out to be really accurate which reflects his knowledge of the system. It has been a pleasure dealing with him and he has my unqualified endorsement.

Fast and efficient

I decided to apply for a green card through NIW and my friends, who successfully obtained GC, recommended Peter as an immigration lawyer. Peter and his staff showed themselves as highly motivated and attentive professionals. He helped in completing the forms, proofreaded the recommendations and was easily accessible via email or phone when I had questions. Under his guidance I quickly obtained the green card. I would highly recommend Peter for any immigration matters.

Expert Level Lawyer for Your Immigration Case

Hiring Peter for my NIW green card was a very good decision. Even though the process was done remotely, he was always available by phone or email, and he helped me in every step of providing the required materials for my case. He is an expert, and his approach is very professional, I highly recommend Peter.

Form I-797C Green Card

My husband and I definitely recommended The Messersmith Law Firm for green card apply. Peter is a very knowledgeable lawyer. During my green card progress, he did very carefully go through all the documents that we provide and also respond our questions as soon as he can. He takes our case very seriously, and helping our green card apply smoothly!! His assistant Jan also help us a lot during the green card apply, reminded us the dateline also provide us much information what we need to prepare for green card as well. Really appreciated you and Jan's help!!

Excellent Immigration lawyer- GOT EB1A in 3 months

Excellent lawyer for Immigration. Peter is not only a great lawyer but a good human being. I work at Northwestern University. Peter was referred to me by my friend who had excellent success with his GC application. I started my green card journey in August 2012. I met Peter and presented him my case, since my employer was not giving me a permanent employment and being from India I had only choice of EB1EA. Peter saw my CV, he told me the loopholes in my CV and directed me what documentation he needs from me to make my case best presentable for USCIS. He specifically told me how the letter of recommendations from my internal and external peer supervisors should be and what key points should be emphasized in my letter of recommendations. He checked with me all my documentations, and prepared my case very well. I gave him all my documentation on 3rd JAN 2013. My application was recvied by USCIS on 10 JAN 2013. My I-140 was approved on 12 JAN 2013 (just 2 days ). It is par excellent achievement for EB1EA at Nebraska Serv Cent. My I-485 was filled concurrently, last week my I-485 was approved and today 26 March 2013, I am receiving my Green card. It was extremely quick just 90 days in total to get the green card in hand from the date of application. MY Credentials when I applied for GC 1. Publications-8 (2 first author rest co-authors) 2. Citations-73 3. Awards/prize 2 -both national level. (1 from India 1 from US) 4. Reviewer of peer review papers- 10 papers from 5 different journals. In conclusion, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PETER MESSERSMITH for IMMIGRATION to USA

great immigration attorney

I have been a client of Peter and his help was invaluable in getting my permanent Resident card. Peter is an outstanding immigration attorney ... knowledgeable and always very responsive.

The best lawyer ever!

I can not even emagine the better lawyer, than the Peter! He did outstanding job with my case. He is very professional, experienced and knowledgeable attorney. My Labor Certificate was approved in 2 month, I-140 in just 5 days and I-485 in 4 month! Peter was very quick in responses on my emails, replied within the same or next day. The Messersmith Law firm charged significantly less, then others law firms with multiple installment payment plan. It was pleasure to work with Peter. I highly recommend Peter as your immigration lawyer! Your case will be in the best hands!

Fair, intelligent and invested!

Peter Messersmith helped me navigate through the intricacies of U.S. immigration laws with a great deal of passion and motivation. His practice is extremely fair both in financial and non-financial aspects of immigration application processes; and unlike many other law firms, he personally works on clients’ cases. He patiently explained to me all the documents needed, and arguments that could be made to make my case extremely strong, thus significantly allaying my nervousness at the beginning of my application process. In addition, he always kept me updated to the status of my case as it progressed though the various USCIS channels, informing me today about the success of my application for status adjustment. I would very highly recommend Peter in handling your complicated immigration challenges.

Excellent Lawyer!!!

Peter and his Staff have done an Outstanding job!!! I had somewhat of a difficult case, that many Immigration Attorneys did not want to take on, Luckily after meeting up with five other immigration attorneys we were able to find Peter, He is truly the best one out there! He has made a tremendous difference in my family's life, He was always postive about my case, was very knowledgeable kept us informed throughout the whole process I would definetly recommend him!

Application for Permanent Residence status

After working with H-1B for about a year at Caltech I thought it might be the time to apply for the permanent residency in the US. I received the information of the lawyer from my friend who already received the green card. I contacted Peter and he asked me for my resume. After he reviewed the resume he confirmed that I can qualify for the National Interest Waiver (NIW) - one of the fastest ways to get the green card :). For about 2 months I have been preparing all necessary documents. I appreciate Peter's help in detailed review of the recommendation letters and prompt feedback and suggestions in this regard. He is very responsive and paying attention to details. His attitude and feedback helped me a lot in documents preparation. Me and my wife received the permanent residence status just recently. It took us about 3-4 months when the application was approved. I would highly recommend this lawyer.

Brand New Permanent US Resident (not US President yet)

Being in fight with USCIS (then INS) for almost 13 years, I used to know many immigration lawyers. Peter is definitely one of the best (if not the very best!) of them. He took over my case about 2 years ago, and solved such difficult problems, others claimed unsolvable. Thanks to him, I can breathe freely now...

Satisfied client

Peter Messersmith handled my NIW-based permanent resident application competently. Everything played out as he predicted and I received my Green Card within three month of filing my application. Peter responded quickly to my questions and forwarded me all correspondence from Immigration in a timely fashion. In addition to good service, the Messersmith Law firm charged significantly less than other law firms I approached to handle my case. I have recommended Peter to my friends seeking permanent residence.

Excellent Service by Peter Law Firm

Excellent Service by Peter Law Firm I hired Mr.Peter as my immigration lawyer for my NIW and EB1A cases. He did fantastic job and my GC got approved. He is very professional,attentive, confident and knowledgeable. He is easily accessible via email and phone. I live in different state, I never met him personally but from the beginning to the end I have communicated via email only. He replied all my emails quickly and his answers are very short and to the point. I am glad that I took right decision to hire him.

Peter and his assistant Jen were helpful and accessible. Phone calls were always answered and emails received prompt replies. Jen is a sweetheart. I applied for my permanent residency under the EB1A category. Peter was very helpful in letting me know what I needed for the filing providing examples and samples to help me put my own letters together. I was extremely stressed during the whole process and worried about my chances because as we immigrants know, our work, home and livelihood in the US depends on our legal status in this country. But Peter and Jen both reassured me and calmed me down. Good lawyer and good man.
