Merrill R. Cohen & Associates, PC

Merrill Cohen and her team were exceptional in handling my case. Their expertise, clear communication, and dedication made the entire process seamless and stress-free. They navigated every detail with precision and secured a successful outcome -- Highly recommending Merrill to anyone who is looking for someone who is reliable, knowledgeable, and gets things done.

I partnered with Merrill Cohen in July 2023 in the hopes of submitting an EB-1A self-petition green card application. Merrill assessed my case, highlighting its potential while candidly addressing areas requiring bolstering. It took me several months to secure additional examples to support my case, and in December 2023, Merrill and her associate, Tanya, began crafting my case.

Navigating the USCIS Premium Processing fee hikes in February 2024 was a challenge, but Merrill and Tanya managed the added time pressure, and were extremely responsive throughout the process. The meticulousness with which Merrill and Tanya laid out my case left no doubt in my mind that we had presented the strongest possible case.

My EB-1A self-petition case was submitted on February 26th 2024 and was approved with no RFE just a week later, on March 4th 2024. Merrill and Tanya also oversaw my I-485 Adjustment of Status, I-765 Employment Authorization and I-131 Travel Document applications, and were diligent about submitting before additional USCIS fee increases in April 2024, further showcasing their commitment to their clients.

When it comes to immigration matters, nothing is guaranteed. Partnering with Merrill and Tanya provided the best chance of success. It is ultimately the responsibility of the individual to take their advice and collaborate with them to present the case in the most compelling manner to a USCIS adjudicator. I look forward to working with Merrill and her team when the time comes to naturalize as a US citizen.

Merrill and Tanya, I can't thank you enough!

UPDATE ON 5/29/24: My I-485 was approved in just 8 weeks with no RFE!
