A phenomenal lawyer hands down! Jessica assisted my husband and I with his K-1 visa and I-485 (green card) application, which were both approved. She explained the process in a easy, efficient way and whenever we needed advice was there in a matter of seconds to guide us. After every phone call, she sent follow up emails that referenced what we discussed and what is needed to get done. I would highly recommend her! If you want an experience, effective, caring and organized lawyer choose her!

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Jessica for a spousal visa. She made the entire process so much less complicated and daunting. She was always quick with a response and truly went above and beyond to help. We couldn't recommend Jessica more, and will certainly be calling on her for any visa needs we might have in the future.

Jessica had been working for my immigration to USA from Singapore for more than 6 years. Right from the initial process of getting the H1B1 work visa to Green Card to Citizenship. She had been super efficient, friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. I am eternally grateful for her professional support in this whole migration process!

From our first conversation with Jessica, we knew we had the right person to help us. Truly lovely and always professional to talk to and work with for my immigration application. Jessica always had positive, helpful advice and made the entire process easy. Every step of the way, she was there with answers to any questions we had. Lists of documents and additional personal information that would help the application were a huge benefit. Jessica has the experience to know what helps and hinders in interviews and the various stages of application that we went through. We hired her for my initial immigration application as well as now for my permanent resident status. I'm now fully approved and ready to continue living here in the US with the love of my life.

My husband and I have been working with Jessica for the past 10 years. We own a horse farrier business down in Florida and renew our employment visas every 2 years, so we are in constant need of advice. Jessica is amazing! We followed her when she opened her own business back in 2014 because we didn’t want to work with anyone else. She has helped us through difficult situations and continues to help us on each renewal. She is always so very quick to respond to any questions over email. She has extensive knowledge and the best advice, and is always willing to extend beyond our expectations when we have needed it! We would never consider using anyone else! Highly recommend Jessica Hargis!

Jessica was an absolute pleasure to work with from the initial consultation until the day our case was approved, and my permanent resident card arrived in the mail. She was very knowledgeable about timelines, procedures and immigration laws and explained the process to us in great detail. She prepared the paperwork and walked us through each step from compiling our documents to final interview. She made the process as easy as possible for us and I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Jessica has been exceptional with helping me with my green card process. I was originally thinking of attempting to go through the application myself, but I'm really glad I didn't, as her expertise and attention to detail was simply invaluable. She's also very responsive and promptly answered any questions I had throughout the process. I highly recommend her practice and will be using her services again when I start my citizenship process.

Jessica is THE BEST! I have worked with Jessica for about 6 years. She helped me throughout the whole process. Before I chose to work with her, I interviewed over 5 lawyers (offices). She was the only one who got on the phone with me in person and explained the whole working process. Her fees are reasonable and TRANSPARENT. Jessica is very responsive - Over the years, she always gets back to my via email within 24 hours to 48 hours. She is so fantastic to work with. She makes everything easy and clear. I recommend to be prepared and organized when you work with her. It makes the process more efficient! DO NOT HESITATE TO WORK WITH HER!

I have been working with Jessica Hargis since 2014 on Biannual O-1 visa extensions. To say she has been a lifesaver would be an understatement. Jessica is very responsive, professional, detail-oriented and always takes time to answer my questions and assist me in planning for my specific situation. I have every reason to place my utmost trust in Jessica, as she has helped me successfully navigate the complex immigration system for years. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and I look forward to my continued work with Jessica for years to come.

Jessica is, hands down, the best lawyer I’ve worked with on anything. She gave invaluable advice at key times when I navigated various twists and turns with my visa, employment status, and green card application. She’s thorough, efficient, meticulous, and responsive. That’s rare of any profession in NYC, and rare in law generally. I can’t recommend Jessica enough.
