Attorney Paulin was a wonderful attorney and handled our case with compassion and professionalism. We felt at ease throughout the entire process, and was able to reassure us when we were uncertain about the proper courses to take. We had previously had a poor experience with a different attorney that unfortunately made major errors throughout most of our legal documents. Josh did a lot of work to meticulously go through our documents and correct all of the errors so our case could successfully proceed. We were always able to rely upon him - even when we overworried and bothered him with extra check-ins. We highly recommend him!

My husband and I highly recommend Josh! He helped us with a spousal visa. He was always available, helpful, and friendly. Josh was unendingly patient to answer of all of the million questions we had along this journey! His fees are also on the lower end of lawyers offering the same service.

First of all, let me start by saying that it is my absolute privilege to write this review for Josh for helping me with my immigration case. I hired Attorney Josh to represent my i-751 case, which was not straight forward. My ex-spouse presented me with a situation where my chances of getting my i-751 approved was difficult. Josh not only helped me representing this case but also getting it approved for me without any difficulty. He has immense knowledge and understanding of the immigration department. Josh is not only the best lawyer in his field but also one of the most compassionate human being. For all my future immigration matters, I will most certainly hire Josh as my attorney.

遇到一个好律师对我们这些新移民来说真的是太重要了,我很幸运就遇到了这样一个很棒的律师——Joshua Paulin 去年六月份由于前一个律师的不专业导致我的案子被退回,后来在朋友的介绍下雇用了Joshua律师,他非常仔细的查看了我的案子的材料,增加了一些他认为比较重要的材料去掉了一些他认为不重要的,现在我的案子被通过了,没有被要求补材料也没有面试,真的太感谢Joshua律师了!强烈推荐!

Josh walked us through the Fiance Visa and Marriage Green Card process and it all went reasonably smoothly despite our somewhat unique situation. Successfully got our green card and all went well so pretty happy overall, no complaints.

I recently had the pleasure to work with Joshua Paulin for the second time for an EB-1 petition. At the end of 2017 I hired Josh for a 0-1B (Artist Visa), and a few months after being approved I hired Josh again to work on a green card petition (EB-1). I sent over a thousand documents to Josh as evidence to demonstrate extraordinary ability, and he carefully selected what to include in the petition to best represent my case. Josh’s guidance was essential to build a strong petition, and he kept me informed throughout the entire process. I’m happy that my wife and I got our green cards in the mail a few weeks ago. Thank you so much for everything, Josh!

My husband and I hired Joshua Paulin to represent us for an EB-1 petition. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. For our surprise, our green cards were approved a few weeks ago during the time USCIS was closed to the public due to the spread of the COVID-19. We are so happy that we are now permanent residents! Thank you very much for all your help and support Josh!
