Very very kind, professional, free consultation with passionate, really really cared about me and my complicated case

Do not waste your time she's a flow She take my money I never hear from her again.

We worked with Joy through the lengthy green card application process and removal of conditions. While the journey is undeniably stressful, working with Joy made it as smooth as this process could be. Joy and her team are extremely professional, efficient and responsive. They kept us organized, confident and answered our many questions promptly and reassuringly. We would and wil recommend Joy to anyone who needs a great immigration lawyer. Thanks a lot Joy.

It was a long journey! It started with my own work visa, getting married and filing for myself and my wife's green card. Joy Haynes and her paralegal Leo helping our whole family of 3 getting our green cards and eventually citizenship. Thank you for all the insights, guidance, and patience! We wouldn't have been able to do that without you guys! Thank you especially for always being very responsive as well!

Amy Novick was our lawyer and she did excellent job that we received our green card in a very short time. She was very prompt, professional and knowledgeable about permament residence card and its processes. Highly recommend their service.

My husband and I worked with Joy for my green card application, removal of conditions, and naturalization, and we couldn't have been happier. Joy was a pleasure to work with, and was always extremely accommodating and responsive to our (many!) questions. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an immigration attorney.

Joy has helped me since day one, from my first VISA until I finally became American citizen this past July! She's always been very thorough, prompt and transparent. I highly recommend her and her firm!

Joy Haynes and Leo Santana of Haynes Novick Immigration did a very good job with my case.It was time sensitive and needed a different strategy because of updated rules and regulations. They were prompt and professional at all times but still ensured to make rapport with their client.

Joy helped my wife and me to complete our Green Card process (EB2). We already had our ETA 9089 certified with the help of another lawyer but when it came to status change, it was more complicated due to some factors and we were afraid that he cannot handle it. One of the reasons being that he is very careless and unprofessional. We always had to try our best to study the whole Green Card process and review all the forms he prepared ourselves to notify him about hundreds of mistakes. We got really lucky to still have the ETA approved by his work but we decided to stop leaving it to chance by looking for a new lawyer. We searched online and found that Joy is one of the highest rated immigrant lawyer in DC area. When we talked to our friends, we realize that one friend also consulted with Joy and she gave Joy a lot of compliments, so we decided to contact Joy. I called Joy first but couldn’t reach her. However she called me back within 30 minutes. She spent the next 30 minutes talking to me to understand our situation and gave me general advices regarding our case. And it was free! Impressed with how professional, knowledgeable and responsive she was, I asked her to officially consult on our case. We sent over all our documents but she was busy with some other cases at the time so she promised a time to give us feedbacks on our case after reviewing it. And she did as promised, very on time! Given the fact that our previous lawyer was able to get our ETA 9089 approved and Joy not knowing how unprofessional he was, she even suggested us that maybe we don’t need her help and just let him finish the process. That’s when we know Joy is a very work ethic oriented lawyer as well! Quickly we decided to have Joy take over our case. To summarize, Joy is: 1. Knowledgeable: Not only she is knowledgeable about the whole Green Card process but also about other visas/programs which we were involved in such as J1/J2, CBT, OPT, marriage at an embassy, etc. … 2. Professional: Joy is always on time, always keeps promises and lets us know in advance if she out of office. She also always follows up to stay on top of everything. 3. Very responsive and effective in communication: Over the course of 7 months, we wrote almost 200 emails back and forth (!). Joy usually responds within 30 minutes and if it’s rush, 5 minutes. She’ll address all our questions in the very next email. 4. Diligent and meticulous: Most forms that Joy prepared had no mistakes. All we have to do is that if we have some concerns here and there we would talk to her to see if adjustments need to be made. 5. A great planner: Joy always has everything ready for our next step. From when USCIS transferred our application to NVC for visa processing and notified us, it just took us another week to submit all the papers to NVC. Preparation for this already took place 6 weeks prior! Time was sensitive to us, so we really appreciate that Joy can help us to save a lot of time by planning ahead! We asked Joy to take over in January and now it’s July, here we are with our Green Cards! The process went so smoothly and quickly that we cannot be happier with Joy. We are just really lucky that we found Joy. And also thanks a lot to all the accurate reviews that we found online on Google, LinkedIn, Yelp and Avvo. We will post this review on all those sites hoping someday it will help others just like it did help us.
