We decided to retain Joy rather than our firm-sponsored attorney primarily because she was accessible. After my wife and I met her, we knew immediately we made the right choice. Joy made us feel at ease as she and her team outlined how they would manage our AOS case. Throughout the process, her team was always responsive (at times, even proactive). As expected, our case was approved on schedule. We recommend Joy without reservation.

My partner and I had an amazing experience with Joy Haynes at Haynes Novice immigration to get my green card. We had been especially concerned when we filed our case because we are a same-sex couple and DOMA had just recently been overturned, so we were not sure what to expect. We are also both transgender, so finding a lawyer who was knowledgable in trans issues and immigration law was a top priority. We were impressed by Joy's professionalism, expertise, and ease with which she handled our case. We highly recommend her for other LGBT couples seeking a great lawyer for their green card applications!

We just got my green card after this past Christmas and as Joy said "It’s a Christmas miracle!"... I believe so too. We got married in August 2015 and applied all the forms by the end of September 2015 in Cleveland, OH. All the process of collecting necessery documents was really easy by the guidance of Joy and Raisa (our case manager). I would strongly recommend Joy as your immigration attorney even though she is in a different city as you live. All our conversations with her were accomplished via Skype or e-mails (this method worked really good because she responded really fast, on weekends, late in a day). Thank you, Joy and Raisa.

We have been fortunate to have Joy as our attorney. She is absolutely knowledgeable and caring immigration attorney. Joy has a lot of experience working with LGBT couples in regards to family immigration matters. As an LGBT couple, we had a peace of mind having Joy as our lawyer. She always responded to our inquires within a couple hours, sometimes just minutes! She always encouraged us for the better. I am recommending Joy Alegria Haynes and Haynes Novick Immigration Law Firm to anyone seeking A+ quality representation in immigration matters. Thank you very much Joy!

Joy Haynes was recommended to me and my husband by another immigration attorney to help with my husband's green card application. My husband was in the country on an H1-B visa (through his employer) and we were eager for him to receive permanent residency through marriage. We were married in December and Joy helped us to file our paperwork literally the day after our wedding. She is quick, efficient and navigates the system easily. Joy made sure we were well-prepared and well-informed each step of the way. She is extremely responsive and communicative. Joy provided us with accurate and helpful coaching in advance of our INS interview, and we felt well-versed and ready the day of. We received my husband's green card just a few weeks later. All in all, Joy made this process (which can seem overwhelming) smooth and easy. She clearly enjoys what she does and is a pro. I would absolutely recommend Joy to those searching for an immigration attorney.

We retained Joy shortly after the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2013. Joy provided us with excellent advice and counsel - she got nothing wrong and everything right. She was very available and empathetic to our anxieties. I'm pretty good with navigating government systems on my own (I'm not a lawyer), but I did not want to take any chances with CIS. She had insights I would've never had and helped us present a case that sailed through (as it should have). We were successful and my husband is on the road to full citizenship. I can't recommend Joy highly enough. And I'm a pretty tough critic. We are deeply grateful.

Because of the repeal of DOMA, my wife and I wanted to have the help of a lawyer to assist us with our adjustment of status. We called around to a few lawyers - each wanted to charge us just to speak with them and we even had one who found it ridiculously amusing that we wanted to do what we set out to do. It got to the point where when I called each lawyers office I asked first "how much would it cost to get information". When I finally called Joy's office, Mr Haynes just simply said "why would I charge you to just answer your question?"... let's talk he then said. Since we started working with Joy, she has been patient and extremely understanding and just so positive and encouraging. Her assistant Tyler also has been very helpful and thorough. They made our process seem so easy. We supplied information, they supplied the encouragement. Our prep session before our actual interview went so well, my wife and I felt so confident that our green card was going to get approved. Joy was even there before us on our interview date. We went in and we were out in about 15 mins or so with our approval. Joy and her team made a daunting experience seem like a walk in the park. Her experience and expertise is endless. I would absolutely recommend anyone searching for a lawyer to allow Joy and her team to work with you. You will not be disappointed.
