Highly recommended for any type of immigration case, especially in EB1 application; She is very experienced and down-to-earth. She always tells you exactly what she thinks of your case and what she can do/deliver on your case. No hidden spots & Very transparent procedure.
I have been working with Jean on my EB1A case for about a year. After a year we successfully received our green cards. Very pleasant experience:) Always respond to my email promptly. Bottom line: her suggestions are always spot-on; her intuition is always right.

It was a great bless to have Jean working on my husband's EB1 application.
Jean was referred to me by a friend and I was very happy when she said she would take our case. She is very professional and responded promptly and fast to every single email I sent.
we had a short time to file our case and she worked hard to get everything on time.
She charges a very fair and reasonable price.
My husband and I got our green cards this week, just 6 months after our first contact with Jean!
I wouldn't have chosen a better attorney. Jean is the Best.
Thank you Jean and the team so much for your professional

We, my wife and I, had a great experience with Jean when I was applying for my green card. Jean was always prompt to reply to any questions we had. She kept track of the process and prompted us at any and all crossroads we encountered. Her professionalism and knowledge on these matters is surpassed only by her charming, friendly and helpful demeanor. We would recommend Jean to anyone that has immigration questions, issues or simply need help to navigate the bureaucracy surrounding the immigration/green card process.

It has been a year we started to work on my I-140 application and Jean Padberg and Associates were extremely helpful. Jean Padberg is very knowledgeable and professional immigration lawyer. She was always replying to my questions/emails as soon as she could and helped me filling out of each and every document. The I-140 was accepted after 8 months and three months later we all received our green cards. Their fees are very reasonable and the service is five star. I would highly recommend to everyone!

Jean is the BEST immigration lawyer !!! Period. She knows what she is doing. Very prompt on email replies. Always available. Helped our complicated case to a success. She is quite humble person and I've noticed she is liked by the immigration officials too. Please do not waste time looking around. You can not go wrong with Jean Padberg and Associates. I thank Jean and her associates every single day for the freedom she brought to our lives. I highly recommend her.

We contacted Jean Padberg for my husband's change of status, from a tourist visa to I-485, since I'm a US Permanent Resident. I appreciated the straight answers and clear explanations on what we're supposed to fill. Jean is very knowledgeable and very honest. If your case is within the law perimeter, she's the one to call. One the other hand, if your legal circumstances are not favorable, she will NOT deceive you with false promises. I can testify on this, since we were the recipients of such honesty. Few years ago, the specific immigration law my husband benefited from, was not passed, so she

My experience with Jean has been 100% positive - through and through! She handled my application (and later RFE) very professionally! She responded to each of my emails very promptly from my first email till I received my permanent residency in about 5 months! I am really impressed with the way she prepares the whole application package (I applied for EB2). I can tell she is one of the nicest lawyer out there even if I have never met her in person (all communications was via email!). I feel really fortunate to have found her!

I had the pleasure of working with Jean Padberg and Associates. Jean is a very efficient & effective Attorney. I contacted Jean through email to start green card process through NIW. She explained anything and helped me a lot for gathering evidence for my case. She replied to all my emails quickly and precisely. She was always available when I had any questions. Finally I got my green card in less than 4 months. Moreover, several of my colleagues got their green card when jean was their Attorney. So, I highly recommend jean, if you are looking for the best attorney.

I had the pleasure to work with Jean and Associates for my Permanent Resident status change through the National Interest Waiver program. I contacted Jean through email to start the process. She replied to all my emails promptly and thoughtfully. She is always available also for phone discussion when I had questions regarding my case. In the beginning of the process, she suggested me with what to expect and prepare for the process to start in very detailed and helpful ways. Her and her associates prepared all the materials I needed to submit once I forwarded them everything they asked me to collect

Jean Padberg and staff are very honest and methodical. She knows the status of your success based on your qualification and therefore recommends you to arrange papers accordingly. Her fees are very reasonable too. She is very fast in her job. Most importantly what I like of her is the way of her communication. She answers my every email within minutes. This helped me a lot to move my green card process so fast. I have heard of her work quality about five years ago and knew that many of my friends have been successful through her office. That’s one of the reasons that I recommended many of my
