Worked with Johnathan on my EB-1A application. I-140 approved smoothly. Johnathon is a fantastic attorney. He and his team were consistently knowledgeable, prompt and easy to work with. I liked their casual but professional way of communication. They submitted over 800 pages of materials on my behalfand they always turned around work quickly and with high standards.

I have consulted with Jonathan about my immigration requirements on E-3 visa with an employer change. I put forward my case and questions on the best way forward that also suits my spouse's work permit. I genuinely believe Jonathan is BEST in this business, it took him few seconds to understand the case, he is very sharp and attentive and provided a very clear guidance and directions on how I could approach this employer change. I am sure he does a lot of research and is completely well versed with the latest status on visa centers and wait times, which is clearly evident on how he recommends the best/fast places to process visas. The best/unique trait I love in him is his striking clarity and confidence with which he converses and provides an update, every single line. As someone who consulted with 3 other immigration lawyers (across different employers in US), I can say Jonathan is the BEST in the country and I would highly-highly recommend him. If not for each employers having their own corporate immigration lawyers relationship, I would use Jonathan for all my E3 visa requirements whenever I change my employer. PS: I was directly benefitted with his consultation today, but it is probably worth to highlight that Jonathan runs a monthly immigration session in another forum, a community in which thousands of Australians planning/moving to US gets benefitted. He is a real celebrity making meaningful impacts to thousands of people.

Great experience working with the team there ! Everyone is professional and empathic . Highly recommend especially for E-3 as I did.

I am thrilled to share that my EB1A I-140 petition has been approved, and I owe this success to the exceptional professionalism and dedication of my immigration attorney, Jonathan Grode and Erin Moran. My case was quite unique, as most of my achievements are industry contributions rather than academic ones. I had consulted with several other immigration firms, and they all believed I only qualified for NIW and not EB1A. However, Jonathan confidently assessed my qualifications and assured me that I met the EB1A criteria. Jonathan and his team carefully crafted a strategy for my application, guiding me through every step of the process. They paid particular attention to the recommendation letters, which were pivotal to my case. Unlike typical academic-focused applications, my profile featured only a few English publications, mainly as a second author, and limited citations (just a few dozen). Despite this, Jonathan recognized the value of my contributions to the industry and remained confident in my case. One of the most impressive aspects of Green and Spiegel LLC 's approach was the emphasis on authenticity. They did not draft recommendation letters on behalf of my recommenders but instead relied on letters personally written by them, believing this would best reflect their genuine evaluation of my skills and achievements. My application included one letter from my former employer in China, while the others were from U.S.-based industry experts. None of my recommenders were academic heavyweights, yet my case was approved, which highlights the importance of recommendation letters and a strong, coherent petition statement. To prospective applicants, especially those unfamiliar with U.S. cultural and policy nuances: finding an attorney who deeply understands U.S. immigration policies is absolutely critical. For many of us from China and other Asian country, the focus tends to be on quantifiable achievements like publication numbers or citation counts, while undervaluing the impact of recommendation letters and a compelling overall narrative. My case proves that even with limited academic credentials, it is possible to succeed with a well-prepared case emphasizing your industry contributions. If you are confident that you can make significant contributions to the U.S. in your field, I highly recommend Green and Spiegel LLC. They have the expertise to meticulously analyze your qualifications and articulate your talents and potential impact in a compelling manner. Thank you, Jonathan Grode and Erin Moran, for your incredible work and unwavering support!

I have worked with Jonathan & his team for almost 10 years through out my visa (H1B, O1), greencard and naturalization. I can't say enough good things about them. His professionalism, expertise, generosity and genuine care made a huge difference in this long and often times very stressful process. Jonathan was incredibly knowledgeable, providing clear and concise guidance through every stage of my case. What truly sets Jonathan's team apart is their commitment to their clients. They were always responsive, quick to answer my questions and never hesitates to go above and beyond to ensure everything was handled meticulously. I felt supported throughout the entire process and my case was handled smoothly and efficiently. I truly cannot recommend him enough.

We worked with Jonathan Grode on an immigration issue. He provided clear explanations on complicated issues and thoroughly answered our questions. Jonathan and his team displayed an equal measure of heart and intellect on our case. Most importantly, he solved our issue and solved it quickly, something that isn't easy in immigration cases. He got us the result we hoped for but weren't sure was possible. Highly recommend.

Jonathan is extremely knowledgeable and kind and I regularly consult with him regarding the tough immortality rules in the US. Unlike other attorneys I have worked with, he listens to your case attentively and analyses each option carefully. I was lucky to have found Jonathan through Aussie Recruit network in which he also volunteers his time on a monthly basis. Great lawyer!
