Vanessa and Allison helped my wife to get green card and they were excellent from start to end.
They care our priority like they helped us to file I130 one day after our marrige so we will have a shortest possible waiting.
In the end, it was a long fight with USCIS, Vanessa and Allison contacted local USCIS office to bring our case to be processed locally, and finally our cases were approved. We had a great experience with them. Recommend to anyone seeking immigration help

My experience with Vanessa is not the same with these people. I received an RFE Letter for my brother and sister. In short, it has been very challenging to work with her and we do not get valuable help by hiring her.
We experience a difficulty to get a documentation from our government, however I still remember that her answer is pretty much just submitting whatever documents that we have. This is honestly disheartening because while I understand she may not be the one who'll get impacted by the outcome of the case, but the point of we are hiring her is to obtain her expertise.
I ended up contacting non profit lawyers and I received more valuable help. They mentioned I would have to create affidavit letters and they provided as what to put in the affidavit letters, who should create it, that they have to be notarized and have to be in original etc etc. These are tangible and useful advice that I can follow. Other lawyer also mentioned we can make suggestion to provide DNA test. I paid a lot of money in advance so that the process is easier, but at the end we also have to work on this ourselves, even for a document that she technically has control of.
After creating the letter, however, she still refused to review them because the letters does not have too many information, according to her. If the info is too little, then add something then in the letter?? We are inexperienced that's why we are looking for help.
After reviewing the cover letter, she also did not mention about we would need to send the original affidavit document. This is honestly infuriating for my family because it can take a week to send documents from the other side of the world.
Furthermore, she does not seem to be very knowledgeable in family based petition. We ended up hiring another immigration attorney who are more experienced in taking care of similar cases. There are things that she mentioned that seems strange (e.g. my brother can use the copy of original RFE letter in responding, while my sister case, she has to use original RFE letter - why??)
A minor concern is she also scanned my brother's document crooked and it took her a month to just re-fill a document for my brother. I know there is no missing information and there are still 3 weeks left before RFE deadline, but these little things just suggests us that her work is sloppy and she does not seem very interested in taking care of my family's cases.
In short, it has been a challenging process for me to deal with her and we don't receive valuable feedback. In the end, we work on almost 100% on our cases and ask another non-profit attorney to review the cases for a peace of mind. Although we may have still used her service (since we have paid her), however all of these concerns have accumulated and just break the trust we had for her.
If you read this message, I would find a different attorney that would be willing to help your case, especially if your case is very specific. She does not seem to have the experience/knowledge nor interests to be helpful even though she already received the cash.

What can i say, WOW, Vanessa Caruso and Allison Rowland were an amazing team from beginning to end! When we were told that we had to file for a waiver of inadmissibility I was became filled with stress when i realized how much more work would be involved in order to assure success. Then found our answer! One conversation over the phone and i knew they were the ones to help us through this long and difficult process! Right off the start I felt a genuine feeling of compassion and understanding for our specific situation and they made it clear what the following process would entail. They were clear about the length of the entire process with immigration which was important for us and they explained exactly what we would have to to moving forward with them. I think the best part about this was their level of communication! They were always easy to get a hold of and always open to answer any and all our questions and I can even say in all honesty that NOT ONCE was I sent to voicemail! That was most impressive! Even after we were approved they were still kind enough to follow up and make sure we were doing well and remind us of a few more little things we needed to do! PLUS, they even have a very good psychologist that they work with to do the much recommended psychiatric evaluation! Very professional and thorough Doctor.
Not enough can be said about this team of professionals! If you want someone you can trust in to get all the hard work and effort done in order to complete a successful and painless immigration approval I personally recommend you go with Vanessa and Allison! My wife has been living happily here in the states with me for a few months now and we have the whole world opened up to us now thanks to this amazing team!
Thanks a million!

Couldn't be happier with the services rendered. Probably the best immigration lawyer in Pittsburgh. Professional, compassionate, and willing to fight to get the outcome in her clients favor. Our previous lawyer really put us in a bad situation and Vanessa was able to correct his mistakes (which there were plenty) and set us up for success moving forward. You can not go wrong hiring Vanessa.

If you’re in need of a excellent immigration attorney and paralegal look no more!!!! Vanessa Caruso and Allison Rowland are simply the best! To be honest, finding Vanessa and Allison was the best thing that’s happened to us. They gave us hope and confidence that they could get us where we needed to be and THEY DID INDEED.
My husband and I struggled for years with my immigration case which involved several layers, not the least of which was an I-601A Hardship Waiver and trip back to my home country! We were exhausted from searching for a good immigration attorney that is not only knowledgeable but also professional and sympathetic.
One day while surfing through the internet I stumbled across Vanessa’s website. I immediately got in touch with her by email. Since that day our lives changed and will never be the same. And although I do not live in the same state as her, she reassured us that she can do everything through email, mail and FaceTime. This worked beautifully because of their organized and fluid approach.
Senior Paralegal Allison Rowland is the consummate professional and an EXPERT on writing Hardship Waivers. You do not want to tell your story without her! She works like a beast and get things done in a timely fashion and is very knowledgeable as well. I should also mention that they are worth way more than what they charge for their services. “Above and beyond the call of duty” doesn’t do justice to the thoroughness, patience, perseverance and responsiveness they showed in handling our case.
I could literally write a whole book with ALL the positive experiences and interactions we had with those two beautiful souls. In the end the result was all that they promised and we are extremely satisfied and happy with their services. I have a green card to show for it! Highly, highly, highly recommended!!

I had an Immigration Lawyer before I was introduced to Vanessa by my close friend who is a lawyer as well. Vanessa only used 3 months resolved my immigration issue which my old lawyer failed to do. I was impressed in the first meeting we had in Vanessa's office, she was extremely efficient, she knew exactly the problem related to my case, she charged me far less than what I expected. Vanessa's Paralegal Allison also provided me with a great solution for my family which made me greatly thankful! Vanessa and Allison are far beyond professional , knowledgeable, kind and polite. They are my family's Angels!

I and my husband retained Vanessa at the beginning of July 2018. The hardest time for our family. Vanessa and Allison showed professionalism and good work ethic. Vanessa and Allison did their job and reached positive result in immigration court in 1 year. Me and my husband are very satisfied with results and her work approach. She has her own strategy, she is very precise in her questions, detail oriented in case, up to date in terms of documents and very compassionate and friendly to clients. Vanessa and Allison were always there for us, promptly replying emails, messages, returning phone calls at any time, answering all questions on immigration matters and beyond comprehensively. Whenever issues appeared, Vanessa and Allison would put efforts to get results, “knocking all the possible doors” and update us.
The other thing to mention, is that she never insisted on full prepayment, which was very helpful during financial hardships our family was facing, and it did not affect her relations toward us.
We are very thankful for professionalism, support and would strongly recommend Caruso Law Group LLC.

I was very lucky for having Curasso Law Group as my immigration lawyer. When looking for an immigration attorney, you need someone to be compassionate, available to answer all your questions, and very well orientated with all immigration laws. We found Vanessa and Allison to be that and waay more. They were available to answer all our questions 24/7, no matter what day or time, they are always there. They always come back with answers, they always go above and beyond. I spent a long time researching a good immigration lawyer. Let me save you sometime, you can't go wrong with Carusso Law . We successfully completed our case because of their help, and we will continue to have them as our lawyers as we move forward.
