Services
Whether you need immigration services, or it is your loved one, facing the immigration process can be difficult and frustrating. The law surrounding it is complicated and ever-changing, and the choices made during the initial process can have lifelong effect. You need the help of Garfinkel Immigration Law: we offer the experience and care that will put your mind at ease.
If you filed a petition or application with USCIS, you can check the status on their website. You should have your receipts handy as you will need the information on them - specifically, your receipt number, the name of the form you filed i.e. It is NOT case specific. They now provide an estimated time range ( for example - 16-20 months) for how long each filing takes for each service center.
For everyone's safety, appointments are still primarily by phone or video (Zoom, Skype, and Google Meeting). However, if you want an in-person appointment, please email us (info at garfinkel-law.com) or call us at (202) 640-4420 to schedule it. This website is for informational purposes only. Using this site, or communicating with Garfinkel Immigration Law through this site, does not form an attorney/client relationship.
The most effective way to get moving on your case is to talk to an experienced, dedicated, and strategic lawyer. A meeting with our attorney will give you an opportunity to explain your situation, ask questions, and get some answers. We have two types of consultations: (1) a Standard Consultation, which is 45 minutes and (2) an Extended Consultation, which is an hour and a half.

I have had a wonderful experience working with this law firm. Lynn and Eduard did an excellent job helping me file the I-765 form and prepare for the I-485 interview. They are very responsive and were always available whenever I encountered an issue. They are professional, highly experienced and knowledgeable to support in every situation. Thank you so much and I strongly recommend the Garfinkel Immigration Law firm for anyone who is in need!

We hired Lynn Garfinkel Law because we wanted to make sure that we had everything correct when filing all of the paperwork that is required. Lynn and her co-worker Eduard were fantastic! They knew the things that we would need to submit and all of the required paperwork to submit and how the whole process works. They were also very polite and would always respond to our questions as quickly as possible! This made our whole process very easy and pleasant. I would definitely recommend Lynn to anyone who is filing a marriage petition to sponsor their spouse who is not an American citizen.

I highly recommend Garfinkel Immigration Law. Naturally, I expected Lynn and Eduard to demonstrate a high degree of knowledge of the USCIS system; in addition to this knowledge, I was pleasantly surprised by how organised, efficient and supportive they both were throughout the entire process. The immigration process went exactly as described by Lynn and Eduard, and they kept me in the loop every step of the way. This made the whole process of moving to a new country a lot more tolerable. Thank you so much for your help - It certainly exceeded my expectations!

I engaged the legal services of Ms. Garfinkel to represent me in my US Naturalization application. I found her to be very experienced in immigration law and quite efficient in preparing me for my interview. She is a very thorough, thoughtful and hard-working attorney, who made me feel confident as she guided me though the entire process. I highly recommend Lynn to anyone seeking the services of a keen immigration attorney.

Me and my spouse hired Ms. Garfinkel to help us with the process of removing of conditions on my residence. We could not be more greatful for her top notch attention to detail in preparation of our petition. Ms. Garfinkel took all our concerns and questions in consideration and helped us to prepare a very strong evidence with our petition. She analyzed every piece of our evidence thoroughly. On the day of the filing we felt at ease and now we are very confident to recommend this attorney to anyone else seeking first class representation in immigration matters. Thank you!
