My wife and I have had a very successful professional relationship with Maria Glinsmann and her team since 2012. We are proud to say we are now both Naturalized American citizens, my wife in 2017 and myself this year. The journey from the Green Card applications to the Naturalization was made very easy and was very professionally handled by Team Maria, although our circumstances were not similar. At every stage of the process, we felt that we could reach out and have our fears and anxieties fully addressed, and for this we give our heartfelt gratitude. Thank you, Team Maria (Ana, Juan and Karla)!!! You guys are our go-to Immigration team, for any future requirements from friends and family! We would not hesitate to recommend Team Maria to anyone seeking a professional team to handle their Immigration matters, ensuring a less stressful and positive journey.

I had an opportunity to work with Attorney Maria F. Glinsmann and her team (Ana and Juan). From the initial kickoff meeting until receiving the approval notice, the process was smooth and flawless. The petition was thoroughly prepared with all supporting documents attached to it. Communication was extremely professional, and all the queries raised by me during the process were answered in a detailed manner with supporting reference from the USCIS website. Regular and timely updates were provided. Mostly importantly, the handling of personal information is through a secured portal which is great and convenient. I strongly recommend Maria and her team for any immigration needs.

After getting married, my husband and I decided to live in the US. We hired Maria’s firm to get my permanent residency. Maria and her team were always very clear about fees, timelines, processes and accurate in the information they provided. Their system is very organized and clear. They never missed any details. My green card was approved in 1 year’s time. It was a very smooth process. I would come back to the firm for any immigration matters. I definitely recommend them. Thank you Maria and team!

Working with Maria was quite refreshing. After interviewing many other lawyers we decided to use Maria because, at our very first meeting, we felt she had a clear understanding of the legal issues and solutions. She spent a lot of time preparing the case file and, before she submitted the paperwork, we already felt that we would have a positive outcome. Our I-485 and I-601 applications were approved in less than 12 months when many similar cases typically take up to 3 years!

Maria and her staff were a joy to work with on replacing our lost citizenship papers from over 40 years ago. Not only lost but one had error on it that had to be corrected. The professionals at her office were always available to answer all my questions. Always polite, courteous and a real pleasure to have worked for us.

Maria's team was incredibly helpful to us in obtaining a marriage-based green card. We decided to go with the Glinsmann firm right after our free consultation - we hadn't expected to meet with the attorney for this consultation, and to top it off, she was already very thorough in walking us through the process. We hired her team right after we got married, and they managed to get our application completed and submitted in less than 2 months. My green card was approved the day of our interview, which was after only 11 months since the application date. We definitely didn't expect to be approved so soon, and it wouldn't have happened had Maria not helped us gather all our documents and been present with us at our interview. She and her team were always available to us and made sure that we got all our questions answered via emails, calls, or meetings. We couldn't be happier with the service we received. We're very thankful to Maria, Ana, and Juan for guiding us through this process.
