Ms. Nilsen was very kind and helpful in our phone conversation giving me detailed advice relating to visa information. I would definitely recommend her services to others !

I hired Attorney Nilsen in November, 2020 to prepare a I-601 waiver regarding an I-129F Petition K- finance visa for my fiance in Thailand. Attorney Nilsen did an excellent job on the I-601 waiver that was approved in early March, 2020. I was extremely pleased with the job Attorney Nilsen for me and I gladly paid her fee. However, after the waiver was approved in March, 2021, Attorney Nilsen never got back to me to advise me of the next step with the Embassy in Thailand. Over two months went by and I did not hear from the Embassy or Attorney Nilsen on how to proceed. I inquired myself in mid to late May, 2020 and the Embassy would not talk with me. I tried to notify attorney Nilsen and after two or three attempts she finally got back with me. The Embassy contacted her and she contacted me on the next procedure for my finance to be heard at the Embassy in Thailand for her Visa. I am upset that attorney Nilsen did not tell me the process right after the I-601 waiver approval so that we could of quickly got the next process started so my fiance could get her visa. We lost two and one half months time before being told what the next steps would be to schedule a visa interview. Once my fiance and I acquired the necessary documents and paid the visa fee we qualified to schedule a visa interview at the Embassy in Bangkok, However, Thailand was not scheduling visa interviews because of a covid-19 lockdown in Bangkok. I checked and saw they were scheduling visa interviews up until June, 2021. However, we are now waiting for the interview process to open up again when we could of been scheduled for an interview in May or June, 2021. We are an older couple, I'm 73 and my fiance is 57 and Attorney Nilsen's failure to inform us of the next process has caused us much frustration and anguish. Now visa interviews in Bangkok may not open again until September or October, 2021. That would be 6 or 7 months since the I-601 waiver was apporved. Attorney Nilsen offered to do the next process for me for another fee and I politely declined and was not compelled to use her sevices any longer because of her lack of diligence in our case. I informed attorney Nilsen of my displeasure with her through an email. To this day she never replied with an apology or that she was sorry for the unnecessary delay in our case. If she did I would not be writing this review and would of even considered using her services for the next process. I'm disappointed in attorney Nilsen's actions and hoped she would of displayed a little more professionalism.

My family appreciate Kristen Nilsen for her commitment and passion. She takes extra time and looks for solutions in making sure your case is heard and resolved.
