When I met Merrill R. Cohen, I was on an F1 student visa, seeking an O1 visa to work in film. A green card seemed like an impossible dream for me but Merrill made it a reality. I hadn’t even considered that it might be possible until I met with her. From our first phone call, Merrill truly understood my goals and my background, and she and her team provided a clear path forward.

Merrill reviewed my education and work history and, to my great surprise, advised I could qualify for more than just a visa. She believed I could qualify for a green card in the National Interest (EB2 NIW)! The process was complex, but Merrill was there every step of the way, addressing my worries, exploring alternative strategies, and turned my dream into reality. Throughout the process, Merrill encouraged me to gather strong evidence, and she and her team kept me updated, and made me feel supported and cared for.

The case was approved just 3 months after filing, shockingly fast and by April 2025, I had my green card in hand. Especially during these challenging times, I cannot overstate how happy I am to have U.S. permanent residence, and be on my way to U.S. citizenship.

Merrill is responsive, realistic, and enthusiastic, and most importantly, she has clear expertise in the field. I’m truly grateful for her and her team’s diligence, passion, and kindness, and for changing my dream of U.S. permanent residence into reality.

I highly recommend Merrill R. Cohen and Associates to anyone seeking guidance and support with their immigration case. They made a challenging process not just doable, but a rewarding and life-changing experience.
