I cannot recommend Global Immigration Partners enough. Vivian and David were my two main points of contact, and they were absolutely wonderful to work with. From beginning to end, communication was excellent. I always felt like I knew what was happening, what was expected of me, and what the next step would be. Immigration can be an incredibly stressful process with so much uncertainty, and having a team that was responsive, organized, proactive, and on top of every detail made such a difference. What stood out to me most was the peace of mind they gave me throughout the process. I never felt like I had to chase someone down for an answer or wonder whether something was being handled. They were clear, professional, knowledgeable, and made a complicated process feel manageable. I couldn't be more thankful to Vivian, David, and the entire Global Immigration Partners team. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for an immigration firm they can genuinely trust.Jim and Danielle were a great help to me with several immigration-related questions. They took the time to understand my situation, explained my options clearly, and responded quickly whenever I reached out. What I appreciated most was that when something fell outside what they handled directly, they used their own contacts to connect me with the right people instead of leaving me to figure it out on my own. That saved me a lot of time and stress. They are knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with. I'd recommend them without hesitation to anyone dealing with immigration matters.I recently received my permanent residency through Global Immigration Partners, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The process itself took almost 3 years, which is just the nature of this track and not something specific to GIP. Throughout that time, the team's professionalism stood out at every step. Whenever I felt skeptical or worried something might go wrong, GIP handled it smoothly. They genuinely care about your case, double-check for inconsistencies, and do error-free work. Even when things got complicated, they stayed responsive and supportive of my concerns. Since this is a once-in-a-lifetime process for most people, I can't compare GIP to other firms. But I can say with confidence that I've been very happy with the work they did for me, particularly David, who I worked with directly.I had an outstanding experience working with GIP, in specific in the recent past I worked with Jose Juarez on my son's CoS case. My honest feedback is that " He is a very diligent individual" was able to guide us with respect to due diligence in paperwork, attention to details, responsiveness, and guidance to complete the Petion on time and able to secure approval on time, due to the fact that I had very much squeezed timeline, "Jose Juraez" exemplary sustained work ethic is greatly appreciated.I had an excellent experience working with Global Immigration Partners. Danielle and Brandon provided outstanding guidance and prepared a strong response to my I-539 NOID, which resulted in a successful outcome. Their expertise, attention to detail, and prompt communication played a critical role in helping me ultimately secure my approval. I highly recommend their team to anyone seeking immigration legal assistance.My wife and I were working with David Raft and Lupita Rynott, and they were absolutely wonderful. We needed partners who were professional, knowledgeable, and attentive, and both of them were all of that and more! Especially in times like these when quality immigration lawyers are needed more than ever, we highly recommend Global Immigration Partners. And with their help, we were able to move through the immigration process much much faster than expected! We actually worked with them nearly 6 months ago. However, I felt compelled to write this review now because I had recently reached out to Lupita to get some documents, and it was so nice that she still remembered us and showed us the same attention and care that we received 6 months ago!Me & my wife have received our Green Card today (2/21/2026).

After consulting several other attorneys, Orion was the only one who found a viable solution for our baby’s visa and Adjustment of Status.
