Reviews of Haynes Novick Immigration

Chaitanya Velma

If you are looking for a professional, proactive, incredibly responsive attorney with a deep expert knowledge of immigration processes, immediately seek out Joy Haynes. She guided us through the green card process in such a smooth manner, answering questions to assuage our concerns and anxieties. Her professionalism (as well as that of her team-- Ana), her deep subject matter expertise, and the fact that she deeply cares about her clients are invaluable and made an incredible impact on our immigration journey (and our lives). Immigration is an incredibly complicated process but Joy's responsiveness and calm demeanor, coupled with her expert knowledge and counsel, made us feel confident that we were in good hands. As a result of her expert guidance, empathy, and legal support throughout the process, I was able to receive my green card in 6 months-- an incredible outcome! In terms of costs, Joy's legal services are priceless and I would highly recommend her to anyone with complete confidence. Thank you, thank you, Joy and Ana!

I had the chance to meet Amy Novik through a presentation at World Bank on immigration several years ago, at that time I was a G4 dependent. After several consultation with other attorneys that took me nowhere, I was lucky enough to meet Amy. Her expertise in the uniqueness of G4 visas allowed me to set the path to citizenship. Her timely and accurate advice, as well as the professionalism not only from her but the whole staff is worth every moment and dollar. Immigration is not easy, and many times comes with emotions and fears, which were erased by the smoothness of the process with this team. After several years, myself and sons were able to meet the finish line. In terms of costs, all I can say is that Amy's services are priceless if what you are looking is a solution by one of the best attorney's offices. I will recommend and endorse Amy Novik's firm every single opportunity that I have with total confidence. LH

Thanh Huong Le

We filed the RFE and obtained my green card with the help of Haynes Novick Immigration. Joy Haynes assisted by Ana De la Joya was incredibly professional, well prepared, informative and quick to respond. They gave us a peace of mind and took a lot of stress of our shoulders. We have no doubt that the process would not have been so smooth as it was without the help of the firm. We would definitely like to hire them again when applying for citizenship.

MILI C. VARUGHESE

We consulted Amy at various stages of our AoS application journey. She was always patient and empathetic and is clearly a very knowledgeable and experienced lawyer. There were multiple points along our two year wait when we needed legal counsel. Amy's guidance gave us timely information and reassurance to navigate the process confidently. Her office staff were also excellent and prompt with their support. We would recommend her counsel to anyone feeling anxious about their immigration application.

Andre Pinheiro

I worked with Joy and her team over the last 5 years as I navigated my green card process through marriage. Her firm made the process fast and easy for us, and helped us navigate all the anxiety-inducing questions that relate to going in and out of the country as an immigrant. Her reputation precedes her across the immigration system (at least in Virginia), and the officer that interviewed me mentioned that they were glad to work with another one of Joy's clients, because Joy's firm was great at providing all the necessary information the officer relied to do their work. You can imagine what a relief it was for us to hear that! Her services and wisdom definitely brought my partner lot of peace of mind through the process. I can't recommend her services enough.

Tess Perselay

My husband and my experience with Haynes Novick has been the smoothest, most reassuring one could hope for. We worked with Amy and Isabel for five years, from his green card process abroad through his citizenship. Amy and Isabel are so knowledgeable, caring, and responsive that it made what could be very stressful process into a significantly easier (and successful) one. I have recommended them to my closest friends and would continue to do so.

Mariana

We had a great experience with Joy Haynes for my adjustment of status / green card process. Many people told me I didn't need a lawyer for our case (which is probably true, since it was pretty straight forward), but I think it was totally worth the time and peace of mind. We still had to fill forms and gather evidence, but I felt that Joy and her team spared us the burden every time they could. I was lucky to have a very short processing time with USCIS, but having couseling was great to avoid rookie mistakes. I would easily work with them again!

Suyog Bhandari

I had the pleasure of working with Joy on I-130, I-485 and I-751 applications. From the start to the end, Joy and her team helped us navigate the complexities of the green card process, offered us great advice and provided us regular updates. They set up the application with a view of the whole journey and not just a particular application step which made my I-751 really smooth. I have recommended Haynes Novick immigration to my friends and would highly recommend to anyone reading this review as well.

evercastro92

We worked with Joy on a marriage permanent resident adjustment and it could not have gone more smoothly. Joy was extremely knowledgeable and helped us every step of the way. The entire process seemed so daunting before we reached out but she was able to guide us the entire way. She was able to make the delivery of documents and information extremely simple and painless. She also responded to any question we had very quickly. We cannot recommend her enough.

Ana Maria Quiroga

My experience with Haynes Novick Immigration has exceeded my expectations! they helped me through obtaining green cards for my children, who were G4 visa holders. From the get-go Amy and Isabel held my hand, patiently guided me through each step, and answered all my questions. I highly recommend the firm! They are very professional, and friendly and the service is phenomenal! THANK YOU Amy, Isabel and Haynes Novick team!

José Rojas Ramirez

The journey to become US citizen along Haynes Novick Immigration has been a rich and constructive experience and a milestone in my life. All the orientations and navigating issues through this complex journey was exceptionally fulfilled by Amy Novick and her experienced team. I am deeply grateful and sure that there is no better guide to it.

Julien Fréville

My green card and then citizenship was a long and really not fun process but Amy and her team (Isabel and Lee in particular) definitely made it more pleasant and easier. I am so grateful for Amy's professionalism and kindness. I have already recommended her to several friends in need of an immigration lawyer.

Harriot McWhirt

We worked with Joy and her team to navigate the anxiety-inducing, very daunting Green Card process. I cannot put into a written review how fantastic she was - from our initial call guiding us through our options and the process, to filing, interview prep and every step in-between. She is a true expert attorney, with immense compassion too. No question was too much and she was always so responsive throughout. We wouldn't consider anywhere else for anything immigration related - the best in the DMV.

Shivangi Moghe

I had an excellent experience working with Haynes Novick Immigration. I worked with both Joy and Yusuf on my naturalization petition. They were both extremely responsive and easy to communicate with, and made the process simple. Yusuf also accompanied me to the interview, which was very helpful. I would highly recommend Haynes Novick to anyone dealing with immigration issues.

Victoria Da-Poian

I have been so extremely lucky to work with Haynes Novick Immigration to obtain my green card. It was a pleasure to work with Amy Novick assisted by Isabel McClung. They were both extremely professional, informative and incredibly responsive. I would definitely recommend working with Haynes Novick Immigration for any immigration and visa processes!

Danielle Henripin

I applied for a Green Card in early 2022 after 17 years in the US on a G-4 visa. I found that not many firms had the expertise I needed, but I could not be happier with my experience with HNI. Working 100% remotely, HNI made this as easy and stress-free as possible, and were professional, pleasant and responsive every step of the way. I even got my Green Card sooner than expected! Highly recommend.

Aaron

Joy and her staff made the immigration/permanent residency process very easy and took a load of stress out of the way. I recommend them to anyone who ask me how my wife and I navigated USCIS. Haynes Novick took away all of the bureaucracy for us!

Tanima Ahmed

Without Amy and Yalda doing such a fantastic job in my NIW case, I could not have obtained a green card. Before I consulted Amy (after checking their firm's high rating), I talked to 3 other lawyers. Almost all the lawyers followed a given format - counting publication numbers and citations -based on which they will argue the importance of my area. Some even offered a refund. One other lawyer even told me to get 10-15 letters for the NIW application and asked me to explain the importance of my area; when I explained that I publish papers and have made significant contributions – she replied, "so what?" I was so nervous, uncomfortable, and lost hope that I would never get it. I knew by then for sure that I needed a tailored case playing my strength. After all my experiences with various lawyers, it was like a blessing when I talked to Amy. I immediately decided that I wanted her to work on my case. She was extremely knowledgeable about my work and sector; she never pushed me to provide 10-15 letters (which seemed kind of impossible), specifically from unknown people. She herself told me what's the importance of my area and how she will proceed with the case. She was extremely knowledgeable on everything, including my F1 to G4 visa status, and MOST importantly, she had a tailored STRATEGY from the beginning! I was so comfortable with her. These NIW and adjustment of the status application process were nerve-wracking, but every step of the way, I felt at ease because Amy and Yalda knew what they were doing. All they wanted from me was to provide documents, and they did their research and created the whole argument!!! I knew then that this was my best shot!! I cannot recommend Amy enough for the service she has provided and how supportive she was! She was efficient and responded to my minor question(s) within hours. I could not have obtained this success without them and their extraordinary service!! Thank you, Amy! Thank you, Yalda!

Minaa Rayan

I was looking for a lawyer who is transparent and realistic about my options, responsive, and well-informed on every aspect of the work, so that I don't get stuck in unexpected situations. Attorney Kohn exhibited all these qualities together. I did not experience any delay on their part. He is very organized, communicates in a timely manner, and respects clients' time.

Maria Marta Habich

Joy Alegria Haynes is wonderful! I would recommend working with her and Haynes Novick Immigration to anyone seeking immigration advice. She is extremely responsive, knowledgeable and supportive and I feel lucky to have found her!

Luiza Rizzaro

Joy Alegria Haynes was my lawyer, my guide, my friend during all the process of getting my green card and, recently, my citizenship. I never had a question that was not answered immediately, clear kind explanations for the correct filling out of forms, requests for documents. Joy A. Haynes has also worked with other members of my family and we are all so grateful.

Wendell Beshan

Yousif Amahad , By far is one of the most direct and Honest immigration attorneys you’ll find . For those of us who have bilingual difficulties and understanding the process of work permits and other applications, Yousif Ahahad and the hole firm has been phenomenal. We were actually referred to him by other people whom actually had the same experience and I’m glad that we decided to go with this firm . Although sadly price can be a little steep , But the service you get from this firm makes up for it in all aspects.

Vatsal Nahata

I got 2 consultations with Amy Novick - she was very thorough in answering all my questions and guided me very well on the EB1A. She will be my go to immigration lawyer for all matters.

Ting Xu

Haynes Novick is probably the best immigration law firm in DC. I used them to help with my adjustment of status application. My case is a bit complicated but Zachary and his team did a great job. From initial consultation to subsequent work, Zach has been very professional, patient, and respond to all my questions very quickly. He is also extremely knowledgeable and truly puts the client's interest first and I feel very assured with my case in his hand. Definitely recommend them for any immigration related issues you may have.

Nawar AL Rbeawi

Haynes Novick Immigration is the BEST Immigration firm you can think of. I had to have my residency restrictions removed before applying for AOS, which for those who know is a very complicated process. Amy Novick was able to do that swiftly and in just 6 months. This woman and her staff are amazing. My wife & I owe them the ability to stay here in the US and be with each other. This firm will be my firm for everything related to Immigration as they are the best in the business. I highly recommend.

N Benitez

I obtained my permanent residence through my citizen husband. Attorney Zachary and his team prepared all the necessary documents to present them to immigration. The process was very fast and effective, without missing anything. Attorney Zachary Abraham Kohn, Attorney at Law and his buffet Haynes Novick Immigration, did an excellent and efficient job. I am very grateful for their services. I really recommend them.

Trinadh Kumar

This is my first review in my life, I feel like to review because exactly 4 years back from now, I was totally puzzled to proceed with which law firm to handle my case, During that time, I came across (dcimmigrationattorney.com) law firm and my case was takeover by Joy Haynes and she is brilliant and extraordinary talented person that I ever came across previously and also Joy Haynes team who work under her also more responsive. Working experience with Joy Haynes is easy because her email timing response is awesome and she was in the same pace with me for almost 4 years 5 months. She is very cool and friendly and at the end i always feel better and at last I had feeling that I'm in safe hands which is Joy Haynes. If any one looking for any Immigration related Services I would strongly recommend dcimmigrationattorney.com.

Me Me

Amy Novick gave my wife and I sound advice on her green card for a reasonable consultation fee. Her advice saved us much stress and expense after we had been given unsound advice by another immigration attorney. Ms. Novick then efficiently and successfully processed a reentry permit application for us for a reasonable fee. Her paralegal Isabel McClung was very competent and a pleasure to work with. My wife and I would recommend Ms. Novick and her firm to anyone.

Kristi Fertick

The team at Haynes Novick Immigration helped my husband obtain his green card. Ana and her team provided exceptional service to my husband and I. They were very knowledgeable on the entire green card process and were always available whenever we had any questions or concerns. They always acted professionally and were very organized, thorough, and supportive throughout the time we worked with them. I would highly recommend Ana and her team to anyone needing immigration legal services. Thank you Ana, Amara, and the rest of the team at Haynes Novick Immigration!

Zeena Johar

I worked with Amy Novick and Isabel McClung at Haynes Novick Immigration for our green card process. Their firm came highly recommended by The World Bank group and working with them through the years confirmed their professionalism and competency. We went through the EB1 process and found Amy’s guidance in putting the application together immensely helpful. I would classify her team as a very thoughtful partner all through the application process. I would strongly recommend Amy and her team, specifically for EB1 related applications.

Mark Baker

We retained Joy Alegria Haynes to assist with my husband's immigration. We chose the firm because they were recommended as having expertise working on LGBT immigration. I am a US citizen married to a Colombian (now dual US nationality). We were living in Belgium initially. Joy helped us with the entire process of securing a green card for my husband and subsequently with his application to become a US citizen. We found her to be responsive and, more importantly, proactive. She tracked our case and kept us in front of the curve. I highly recommend Joy.

Rich Gyamfi

My marriage base case was stuck for over 8+ years my previous lawyer didn't really do anything to push the case. After talking to Yusuf and hiring him to be lawyer within 2 weeks we got an interview notice. Interview went really well and the following week I receive my approval notice and few days later my GreenCard. Finally after all this years waiting. Thank you Yusuf. Guys I really recommend Yusuf for anybody going through any immigration problems.

Matthew Keenan

My experience with Haynes Novick was absolutely fantastic. Joy Haynes handled my case in getting my US citizenship. I highly recommend Haynes Novick. I've already recommended this law firm to several people. I can't thank Joy Haynes and Amara Tek-Ronquillo enough. They made the whole process so easy. Everything was taken care of in a very swift manner and they were in constant communication throughout the whole process. They were great. Again, I highly recommend this firm.

Megan Gowers

On the recommendation from friends, we contacted Haynes Novick Immigration and are so incredibly grateful we did. We weren’t specifically looking anyone with experience in LGBTQ+ couples however we were happy to find Joy Haynes and her team (Amara and Anica) were extremely knowledgeable with cases like ours. As clients from early 2017 through mid-2021, the complex and complicated green card (with conditions then removal of conditions) and eventual naturalization process was explained thoroughly and managed timely from our initial phone call all the way through to receiving the naturalization certificate. Joy and her team were always one-step ahead, quick to answer questions and proactively managed our case so much that we never stressed or worried about it at all. We would highly recommend this firm to anyone needing immigration assistance.

Shiobana Haruno

My family and I will forever be grateful to Attorney Kohn and his team. Concise comments have always been more helpful for me, so here goes: * RELIABLE- They responded to my calls and emails immediately. *CARING- We were given useful resources, tips, and relevant information to ensure our success. We never felt that it was just all about the money for them. * FEES ARE REASONABLE *SYSTEMATIC and ORGANIZED- Accurately-completed forms were filed promptly. *KNOWLEDGEABLE and EXPERIENCED- Our questions were patiently answered. Attorney Kohn was never condescending. He was always kind and professional. This is the second time that Haynes Novick Immigration has represented us, and we have always felt that they had our backs during what could easily be a challenging naturalization process. Many thanks!

amina dhahri

Haynes Novick is a wonderful and knowledgable lawyer. She worked on my I-485 and N-400 and made the whole process stress-free. I strongly recommend her.

Daniel Coila

I can’t thank Jim Haynes for all of his professional advice, guidance, and support in obtaining a very positive outcome on my case. Jim is a knowledgeable and honest immigration attorney who was always available and responsive to my inquiries. I highly recommend Haynes Novick Immigration, and I cannot thank Jim enough for his professional advice and patience. Truly the best immigration firm in the DC area.

Stella Marie

Attorney Zachary Kohn has helped our family get us through our immigration fiasco. My case was a bit complicated but due to his tireless work ethic, we quickly obtained the outcome we had hoped for and became a permanent resident. He helped alleviate the stress of going through the immigration process and went additional steps to ensure we are well informed of what to expect and what benefits I’m eligible. Atty Kohn is organized and goes above and beyond to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible and done in a timely manner. Rest assured, your questions will be promptly and thoroughly answered when you have him and his team on your case. You can easily reach him and his office regardless of the time & day of the week, even including weekends & holidays. We truly appreciate that he represented us and gave us realistic expectations and did not promise us anything but that he will be with us in every step of the way. We can’t emphasize enough how pleased we are of his assistance. We highly recommend him!

Faith Cole

Joy and her team smoothly and seamlessly walked me through the naturalization process over the last few years during the height of the pandemic. Highly recommend their services!

Carlos Andres Guiza

Haynes Novick immigration did a great job on our green card process. Despite the pandemic times and all the struggles, Jim Tom Haynes and Lizeth Zeledón were very responsive to our questions and requests, thank you for the great job!

Pierre Messali

Amy Novick was recommended to me in 2007 by a colleague of mine at the World Bank, where I was employed under a G4 visa. At the time, I was planning to shift (with my family) to a Green Card, considering my future retirement. Amy was extremely helpful in reviewing the various options and recommended the best way to obtain a green card: through an EB-1-1 case (Extraordinary Ability). Then, she supported us to expedite an advance parole in Baltimore, an Adjustment of Status (AOS), a re-entry permit even without the appointment notice, and finally a naturalization procedure in a very timely fashion (3 months for the naturalization obtained a few days ago). Along these various and complex procedures, Amy was always proactive, responsive (she responds immediately to emails) and efficient (she provides reliable answers immediately). Moreover, Amy is a very smart, dedicated and pleasant person. I am sincerely grateful for her first-hand support.

Crispin Hawes

Amy came highly recommended by someone with recent experience of dealing with the system and I was not disappointed. She was thoughtful, explained the process and the thinking behind the process in detail, and, despite her caveats, estimated the time it would take for the EAD and then the Green Card pretty accurately. Hayes Novice staff walked us through the application carefully, double-checked everything and we could not be happier with the outcome.

Aarti Sharma

We can't thank enough the team of Haynes Novick Immigration.First, in 2018, David J. Rothwell helped my husband for his green card case and in my case I got support from Ana Sami. Ana is very professional, knowledgeable and understanding. She and her team (Amara and Anica) were very prompt in replying to all our queries and questions. Because of the continuous guidance I received from Ana in my case, I have received my green card in just over 12 months. Thank you Ana and the team of Haynes Novick Immigration. Highly recommend!!!

mihai patru

The Haynes Novick Immigration team has been instrumental in advancing my case towards a positive outcome. The support and guidance they have provided over a period of several years have been at very high professional standards. I warmly recommend them on immigration related issues.

Laia Balcells

Attorney Kohn was helpful on a matter other immigration attorneys were either not willing to help me or attempting to scam me. Haynes Novick Immigration asked for a reasonable fee and they worked hard to get my issue resolved. My issue has been successfully resolved and I am very grateful for their efforts.

Jane Bogoev

I got in touch with Haynes Novick Immigration to sort my adjustment of status to permanent resident. All I can say that I couldn't have done a better choice!!!! Joy Alegria Haynes and her team (Anica and Amara) are really an amazing. They are highly skilled, professional and hard working. They filled my forms for les than 10 days. They gave me the right advise and worked to find the fastest and easiest way to adjust my status. Joy is an honest and highly professional immigration attorney that tells you realistically what can and what cannot be done, unlike other attorneys that tell you unrealistic stuff just to take your money. The whole process was very smooth, and important to say is that Joy responds to your emails and phone calls within an hour - regardless if it is a work day, weekend or holiday. Simply go with Joy and Haynes Novick Immigration and you cannot go wrong!!! It is the best choice!!!

Geraud Pinchart

My lawyer, Joy Alegria, and her team took my immigration case in 2016 and they've professionally supported me until my Naturalization in 2021. 5 years of high-quality immigration services. The team was professional AND friendly, very responsive, and always answered all my questions. I have recommended Haynes Novick to many of my friends. I recommend it to all readers here too.

Simon Rowe

The team helped me with a successful immigration claim, and were both friendly and quick to respond. Would recommend.

Nas MJ

Attorney Yusuf Helped me and my wife with our immigration process from scratch starting with my K1 Fiancé Visa to its preparation up until i got my Green Card. He made sure everything was right and that we were well prepared. I can't Thank him enough. I Highly recommend him. Thank You once again Mr. Yusuf

Rohan Mazumdar

Ana Sami and the team at Haynes Novick were excellent at guiding my spouse and I through our immigration process. From clear upfront guidelines, to navigating a very turbulent period at USCIS, to being our counsel during our interview, we felt very well taken care of. Highly recommend them, based on our great experience!

Michael Lehman

Haynes Novick was fantastic in helping me navigate the naturalization process. I have lived/worked in the U.S. for many years, and finally decided to become a citizen. The process was extremely slow due to bureaucratic challenges and Covid-19. My attorney kept me up-to-date, and also personally contacted a person from Immigration services during a conference to ask about the slowness of the process related to my case. Overall, the firm was great to work with, prompt in answering questions, and were real experts in getting through the process.

Natalie Hanschen

Joy Haynes was my immigration lawyer and she made a very complex and difficult process as easy as it could possibly be. I’m very happy to be a US citizen and highly recommend Joy and her team. They were very responsive and patient with me. I couldn’t have done it without them- seriously!! Thank you Haynes Novick Immigration.

Luc Athayde-Rizzaro (lucrizzaro)

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!

Gaurav Arora

It was a pleasure working with Joy Haynes. We emailed the firm for help with applying for my green card in the summer of 2014 and Joy responded immediately. From that point onwards we knew that we were in great hands. Her attention to detail along with her experience helped us during each step to get a green card for me. After I got my green card, there was no doubt that we would use their services for citizenship and again she counseled us and helped us walk through each step and cross every bridge. Her team is dedicated and without doubt, we would recommend them in a minute. Thanks for all you help through our journey.

Douglas Hinkle

The professionalism and dedication of Joy Haynes and her paralegals has been outstanding. From getting my wife her spousal visa to her US citizenship was a five year process and at no point were my wife and I uncertain about what would happen next, because we had Joy in our corner looking out for us.

Ryan Johnson

Ana and Amara at Haynes Novick helped facilitate my wife's green card process starting in the fall of 2019. In short, we could not have done this without them. They were an excellent team providing clear, expert advice on all of our (many) questions from the start, when we began filling out our paperwork, to finish, when we had our green card interview. Their patience and calm demeanor over the last year+ helped ease our concern during an undoubtedly difficult period of time to be immigrating to the U.S. We would highly recommend Ana and Amara (and Haynes Novick in general) to anyone seeking to navigate USCIS and the US immigration system. The good value for their quality services is unmatched in the DMV area. Adding an update here. Spoiler alert: the service was just as good as described above. This time around Joy helped my wife and I with an expedited citizenship process and she was incredibly thorough in outlining what the process entailed and responsive in answering all of our questions and concerns. My wife's naturalization was processed in about 2.5 months from start to finish and we have no doubt that Joy's efficiency and promptness contributed greatly to that. Great service from the HN team once again; it's hard to place a value on what they have been able to provide us over the past 2.5 years.

Ana Cecilia Dantas

Ana Sami was my attorney and the best choice my husband and I could made. Ana and Amara were amazing during the whole process and two weeks ago I got my green card. Huge thanks to Ana and the team to make it happen! They are, extremely knowledgeable, very responsive, well organized, always responds all the emails very quickly and friendly. I could not recommend enough !!!

Federico Contigiani

I've worked with Joy Haynes and her staff for a few years and through several cases, from my working visa all the way to my naturalization, and had a wonderful experience. While being very professional and responsive they actually CARE about your case and they are there to genuinely help. I've appreciated getting the newsletter the firm sends to all clients, especially over the last few years, it timely provided updates and explanations about all immigration policies and changes.

Dana Gillespie

Hayes Novick immigration worked on our green card case to have my husband immigrate from Ireland to US. Joy and her team were very responsive to emails, clear with instructions and checked in with us along the way. We are making our way from the UAE and the team made sure we were following all requirement. Recommend to others

Mary anne Melo

I strongly recommend the superb services of Amy Novick at Haynes Novick Immigration to anyone who is seeking legal help in their immigration process. Amy provided expert advice where others were unwilling to help with my difficult and unique exceptional visa and permanent residency immigration case. I had to apply to a J-1 waiver of the exchange visitor two-year home-country physical presence requirement and her expertise in this area was key for my case. I am grateful for Amy and her Team and consider myself fortunate as I continue with her on my pathway to citizenship. Amy and her team answered all my questions patiently and thoroughly and made me comfortable with the permanent residency process. Her team helped with every aspect of the process, helping with forms and guidance at each step.

Nemesio Salazar

I had a great pleasure working with Mr.Kohn and his team on my case. I can attest that is one of the most professional attorneys and teams that I ever met. All my questions were promptly replied to and Mr.Kohn was easy to reach. Mr.Kohn and his team did absolutely brilliant work on my case and were the main component in its quick resolution. I would absolutely recommend Mr.Kohn and his team to anyone in need of his services! Absolutely brilliant attorney!

Rohini Mohan Raj

Working with Joy has been an absolute pleasure - she is very knowledgeable, quick to respond to queries, clear in communication, and manages the application process in an organized manner. I first personally started working with Joy when she helped me get my H1B visa. Shortly after, she also helped me apply for a Green Card (through marriage) and I recently received the card. The process of getting the GC while daunting was a breeze with Joy's support and guidance. I couldn't recommend her enough!

Julia K.

My husband and I went to Mr. Yusuf Ahmad crying. We had gotten a denial for my permanent residency. Mr. Ahmad gave us a free consultation, worked with us very diligently and a surprisingly very fast pace. He was very professional, with modest fees. In less than one year, I was granted my permanent residency and will be forever grateful to Mr. Ahmad.

Cormac Early

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.

Lenon A

The immigration process can be daunting, and I was extremely nervous and lost as to where my journey should begin. I have been working with Joy for the past 12 months, and I could have not asked for a more professional and supportive experience. Joy and her team provided timely support and was able to answer all my immigration related questions whenever I reached out via email. Joy made sure I went into my interview fully prepared, providing us with information we would have not had access to anywhere else. I highly recommend working with Joy at the Haynes Novick Immigration office.

Luana Pop

We were extremely happy with Amy and her team, always responsive and prompt, solving our case smoothly. Thank you!

Dahlia Cole

Where do I begin. It has been a long journey, from getting our greencard, removing conditions, and now today, being a naturalized US Citizen, a little over 4 years, wow!!!. Joy and her team have been exceptionally helpful, always available, always having the right answers at the right time, always well prepared and extremely organized. The level of professionalism shown was above and beyond expectations. Our case was treated as if we were the only one's on her agenda as she always finds time to be available no matter what time of the day😊. Joy took an interest in our case and showed genuine concern and care in us as a couple. We certainly could not have been at this point, and in one piece mentally without her and her team. I would highly recommend the Haynes Novick team. Joy Haynes will indeed help you on your journey and ensure all is well throughout the entire process. Thank you Joy and team.

Sarah Hassan

Thank you Mr Ahmed Yusuf for Exploring all the possible options with my husband’s case. You’ve given him a future with his family. We are forever grateful.

Carol Drummond

I cannot recommend Haynes Novick enough. Joy (as well as Ana and Amara-- thank you all!) did an excellent job guiding myself and my wife through what is frankly an incredibly stressful process in the best of times. From our very first consultation up until the submission of so many forms and, after a long, pandemic-related delay, the final interview, Joy and her team were there every step of the way. They made my adjustment of status as simple as it can possibly be, keeping us informed and, on occasion, on our toes -- all those forms are no joke! Even when we felt like headless chickens running around, Joy's team was always promptly available to answer our questions, address any and all of our concerns, and advise us through this process. My wife and I are so incredibly thankful we had the help of such a competent, prompt, and thorough team. I look forward to working with them again when the time comes! Thank you all :)

I am so grateful having Attorney Zachary Kohn to handle my immigration case who has been incredible throughout this process. I admire his excellent professionalism, communication skills - providing update throughout the process and prompt to respond with any questions. If you are looking for an immigration attorney who knows his stuff, I will strongly recommend attorney Kohn.

We worked with Joy on our immigration process to secure Permanent Residence status for my husband. She was absolutely fantastic. First, we felt that she really cared about us as our attorney and was invested in our relationship and case - her responsiveness and level of focus on us was so great. Second, she was extremely professional and had all the answers to our litany of questions, making the whole extended process of gathering evidence and completing all the forms very understandable and easy to follow. Third, when our case got a little bit complicated, she remained positive and helped us problem-solve. Her guidance and support was indispensable to us and we highly recommend her!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND, without a shadow of a doubt! Haynes Novick Immigration is my 5th Law Firm over the past 13 years. I have been through ice and fire, being in courts, BIA and ICE. Having this vast experience with 3 previous law firms incompetently doing their job, have created a very messy and difficult case, loaded with stress on my end with lots of money and time lost, without hope. I am so grateful to attorney Haynes Law Firm! They are my absolute and only salvation. Their work is above and beyond, super knowledgeable and experienced in all departments. Their support and guidance is top notch, helping me so much to alleviate that stress by correcting all of the errors done before them and doing every little detail so professionally! They absolutely know what they are doing. I can’t have enough words for this, I sleep better at night knowing that I have them on my side, I’ve just seen tremendous successful results on my case in one year that I haven’t seen in over a decade. Being able to reach out to them at anytime is so important in this process and just that alone makes it a rare gem criteria that other firms are highly lacking, and their responsiveness is exceptionally amazing. Having my experience previously with other law firms, I am convinced there isn’t anyone better out there. Jim Tom Haynes and Zachary Kohn are an excellent, super professional and advanced A team! Thank you very much for all the work you guys are doing! I am forever grateful!

We first were referred to the firm by our friends who worked with Joy. They had a great experience. When we approached the firm, Joy answered so many of my questions before we even retained them as our legal council. We worked with Ana Sami and she was wonderful! She walked us through every step, answered all of our questions in detail, and was available via email in between meetings. Would recommend the firm for all your immigration law needs.

Jennifer Goodman Lilintahl

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.

Bob van de Mortel

We had a very good experience working with Joy Haynes. She helped to make our immigration process as smooth as possible. When I emailed her with questions, she always responded very quickly! She was very interested and encouraging, but didn't sugarcoat the harder steps either. Thank you Joy!

Terence Sham

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!

Roberto Lara

I contracted the services of Catherine Reynolds, Attorney At Law at Haynes Novick Immigration. She is fantastic! She was in charge of my Green Card process and then of my Naturalization Process. Not only did we get those two applications approved but the entire process was extraordinarily smooth. She was always prepared (and helped me to be prepared as well). Clearly she knows the system and has vast experience in her field. If you have a complicated case, she is the right legal representative for you.

zahir hassan

It was great to work with Ana Sami, she was very helpful and worked hard to solve my wife case with the United States Embassy in Sudan. My Wife and I have been in the process for her Immigration visa to the US for more than 3 years and finally when I decided to give Haynes Novick Immigration a call and ask for help to get my wife here and i had success 🙌☺in less than 6 months our suffering was ended and we heard the good news that my wife visa was ready at the Embassy. Thanks a lot Ana Sami for taking the time to help me and my wife move forward with our life and be together in one place ❤.

I was referred to Haynes Novick Immigration through a client of mine. I was looking at starting the Green Card process through employment for both myself and my wife. After my first meeting with Jim and Joy, I knew that this law firm was going to everything to help me out. It took sometime to convince my work (no fault of Joy and her team) about sponsoring my application. Once I got all the approvals sorted out, Joy and her team went to action. Preparing documents, asking questions and making sure that everything was perfect. Whenever I had a question, no matter how ridiculous it was, I got an answer immediately. We predicted that our case would take a decent amount of time, however by diligent work from Joy we got our Green Card in record time (From start to finish, 1 year). I cannot thank Joy enough for how much she has helped both my wife and I, if you are looking for an immigration lawyer who is entirely on your side and will fight for you every step of the way - look no further.

Ray Cabhg

Attorney Rothwell and his team helps my wife with her adjustment of status and green card application. Atty Rothwell was recommended to me by a very good friend of my wife. In our first consultation with Atty Rothwell, we feel very comfortable and he reassured us that her case was very straightforward. The process in putting all the applications and documents to together went very smoothly. Thank you so much to Attorney Rothwell and his team; Legal Assistant Guillermo Sobalvarro and Legal and Assistant Mayra Lobaton for their dedicated to their clients and to make sure everything is done properly and on time. Unfortunately, Atty Rothwell retired due to pandemic before our application was completed. Attorney Rothwell partner Attorney Zachary Kohn have taken over our case during our adjustment of status interview. Atty Kohn prepared us and reviewed all the documents to bring to the interview. During our interview we have some misunderstanding with USCIS Officer. luckily, we have Atty Kohn represented us telephonically. Atty Kohn clarified and explained the misunderstanding to the USCIS Officer. Two hours after the interview I received an email from USCIS that they ordered her new card. Seven days later my wife received her green card. Many thanks again to Attorney Rothwell and Attorney Kohn and their team; Legal Assistant Guillermo Sobalvarro and Legal and Assistant Mayra Lobaton for outstanding support. I highly recommend their outstanding services to anyone who is seeking legal help in their immigration process.

I found Haynes Novick Immigration on Yelp. I will be eternally thankful that my first phone call was to Haynes Novick Immigration and that Joy Haynes picked up the phone. From our first conversation Joy was compassionate, clear and organized. This combination was exceedingly important to me. Immigration is personal matter and Joy treats the issue with the compassion and respect this matter needs. Joy guided my husband and i through the green card process over an 11 month period. While working through this process, i had questions related to a career move and Joy even provided me with guidance about questions i had related to that. The following characteristics are the reasons i would recommend Joy Haynes and Haynes Novick Immigration to anyone i know: 1. Joy knows her stuff. This is evident in the way she explains immigration guidance. I've worked with several immigration lawyers over 16 years and Joy is by-far the best. 2. She communicated with us constantly. We never had to remind Joy about a response. She always responded to us. 3. The firm is well equipped to gather necessary information from clients. When we signed-on with Joy, they had packets of information with clear guidance on what we needed to provide to them to move forward. This minimized any back and forth and made the information transfer process extremely smooth. 4. Lastly, but to us was the most important to us: In Joy we felt we were working with a lawyer that truly had our best interests at heart. We trust Joy immensely. Thank You Joy.

What shall I say? Excellence since 2001 - as to my personal knowledge, but the history goes back decades more. I was told that this law firm, now in it's third generation, has a say in the world of immigration law and practice. I was introduced to Jim Tom Haynes in 1999, and he took over my case. Me, a German citizen at that time, wanted to become a US Citizen. Not so easy, you cannot claim that they treated you bad in your former country. Together with his his assistant for the very last ten years, Mrs. Lizeth, Jim tom Haynes accomplished my case, finished. First of all, if you need help with immigration matters: Quality matters. I think it comprises experience you only can harvest over decades and you cannot replace with anything, you need skills, knowledge, instinct, contacts, the balance between considerate, respectful to authorities, undercover straight forward. And the willingness to help and to find ways to work around. The younger generation misses the human factor. It is not only about to make money, of course everybody needs to make money, money makes the world goes round, we know that. Now a hint to all DIY super double smart folks, I have three of those in my extended family: You can try it by yourself: I can count at lest three relatives, who all super smart tried to "save" money and just filed immigration documents by themselves. When they got "bad" letters, one after the other one over the last fifteen years, they came to me, and asked what shall I do now, do I need to leave the US? I just referred them to Jim Tom Haynes and his team, that was it! Taking over a flagged case is not so easy and there is no guarantee, but it worked in all tree cases. Nothing against young immigration attorneys, ladies and gentleman of all five colors, however, what seems to be the case, they might be perfect in their legal knowledge of laws and rules, governing the cases, but not experienced in kind of humanness which is part of the immigration cases as well. This immigration law firm, now in the third generation, is just outstanding! Have a latte day and all the best for your case!

adrian dover

A huge thank you to all at Haynes Novick Immigration for their experience and hard work in helping me obtain my Green Card. Every time I had a question or problem , there was someone at HNI to help and guide me through the process.

Keivan Najafian

They filed for my EB immigration case back in 2019. Although there were many inconsistencies in the process due to Trump administration and Covid19 lockdown, They well organized the process. At the time of filing my 485, I had just last week of 2019 to file otherwise the visa bulletin would no longer be current for my case and I remember they assigned two new attorneys to my case to file it in time and fortunately they did it with USCIS on 12/31! ( And obviously they charged my employer for that ) Totally, they are strongly professional and their commitment and responsibility to their clients is outstanding. Moreover, their update knowledge differentiates them from most of other attorneys who have an obsolete knowledge of the immigration law which puts their cases in jeopardy.

Nicola Hellmann-McFarland

Joy Haynes was recommended to us by dear friends, who had been in a very similar immigration situation. We are a lesbian bi-national couple, that was in need of a Green Card for the foreign partner, to allow her a life with her wife in the United States. From day one on of our process, Joy was very helpful, when it came to answering all of our questions. Though our contact with her was 100% online, she was always available and quick to answer questions through emails, give us guidance and when required, she would talk to us via Skype in preparation of all our legal steps. The long distance between Miami and Washington, DC was no problem at all. We felt we were in good and reliable hands, which was important to us. Thanks to her unbiased and positive attitude and her capable staff members (Raisa, Rina), our worries and anxieties over the whole process got done away with and replaced by optimism and peace of mind, which was a big deal, as everybody knows, who has "been there". We highly recommend Joy Haynes and Haynes Novick Immigration Law Firm, if you are in need of a lawyer - especially for LGBT matters. We felt extremely well-represented by her and will definitely work with her again, when the time comes. Thank you again, Joy & Staff

Elisa Davoodi

Incredibly grateful for the experience we had at Haynes Novick. As anyone who has gone through this process or is considering it can attest, Immigration proceedings can be really intimidating and anxiety inducing. My husband did a *lot* of research before settling on this firm, and did quite a bit of research on the background of each lawyer. We settled on Ms. Ghandi, and it was an excellent choice. We were made to feel very comfortable from the onset (the consultation) and didn't even feel the need to meet with any other lawyers. We were very well supported through every step of the process. The application went very smoothly and I've just received the last of my documents!

Taka Kamezawa

I would highly recommend Amy Novick to anyone who need a very professional legal work for immigration. By following Amy’s well-established procedure, I have been able to obtain a green card under EB-1-1 extraordinary ability. After talking with several immigration law firms, I decided to work with Amy as she took time and gave me a professional advice with my first conversation with her. Not only does Amy understand the green card process but nuances associated with G-4 visa holders. Immigration is a very complex world of alphabetic soup from A visa to U visa. I am sure that Amy can help guide you to a successful immigration visa strategy and execution.

Graham Lampen

Amy Novick is an exemplary immigration attorney. She assisted my family and I with moving from L1 / L2 visas to Permanent Resident Status (Green Card). Throughout the process, Amy was thorough, calm, extremely efficient, reassuring and personable. Her knowledge and experience are second to none, and her patience for my endless questions was very much appreciated. She is also super-responsive. Every email was answered almost immediately, and Amy did a great job of allaying any concerns and worries, without making any promises or creating any false expectations as to the certainty of the outcome. I could not have asked for any more, and would wholeheartedly recommend Amy to anyone requiring an immigration attorney. I have a number of colleagues who have also used Amy, and the praise for her is unanimous. She is simply the best there is.

Alejandro Alegria

Zachary has treated us like family. Very professional and efficient. He goes above and beyond to make sure his clients feel confident through the immigration process. We are very thankful and pleased to have him as our attorney.

amitzur mor

Joy has been my lawyer for the last 4 years during that time i receive my temporary green card, my permanent green card and my american citizenship. during the entire time i worked closely with joy and her office stuff. service was super fast, efficient and professional. there was not a single question that haven't been answered within hours and every thing went smooth and stress free. i would highly recommend Haynes Novick Immigration. As a person that makes his living in the service industry i know and appreciate good personal service. you will find that with joy and her stuff. cheerse

abiha ashrafi

I was working with Joy Haynes during the process of US Naturalization (N400) application, she was best! This process was one of the most stressful of my life and Joy didn't let me to feel even stressed. She was very quick on responding my questions and very accurate. I highly recommend her!

Bianca Botas

I am beyond grateful and thankful that I had somebody to recommend me Ana Sami for my immigration issue. The day I called and spoke with her was the day I was sure that she will really be implicated and help me with my matter. I was at a point where I have lost all my hope and the day of my interview was coming very soon and I had no idea how I should deal with this whole situation. Ana encouraged me and told me all the possibilities as far as how my case can be resolved and she was there for me every step of the way. She told me from beginning what the price would look like and I was ready to go ahead and start the process to find out by the time I had to pay it was even cheaper and that was a big plus considering what is going on in the world and how a lot of people lost their jobs or lost their businesses among other problems we might not be aware of. The professionalism and the implication she has is beyond words!! I don’t think google is going to let me write such a big review to say all the nice and kind words I have to for such a great person she is. Thank you again to you Ana and thanks to Haynes Novick Immigration for solving my problem and I’ll make sure to recommend you to everybody who is looking for an immigration attorney!!!

Yuliya Kruchynina

I would like to thank you "Haynes Novick Immigration" Jim Tom Haynes and his employees, especially Rina Gandhi!!, for providing excellent service & recommendations for me through the long and complicated asylum case. I had the other attorney office experience before (I wish I hadn't))), and was referred to HNI by an acquaintance. No delays, mistakes or any other issues I had with Haynes Novick. However, if anything was going wrong during the process, it was handled professionally in timely manner. I definitely recommend Haynes Novick Immigration services for anyone who are looking to get help with their immigration status.

Emanuel Villordo

I’m very thankful to have chosen the services of Haynes Novick Immigration. During the last 20 years they have helped my family and I with all of our immigration cases. Mr. David Rothwell and Mr. Guillermo Sobalvarro as well as Mr. Zachary Kohn were extremely professional during the entire process of my case, they were always available to answer any questions we had and explaining step by step how our case were being handled so we could understand exactly what to expect as the process moved along. They helped my entire family with our immigration process and we all have finalized our immigration status thanks to they helpful services. I strongly recommend attorney Zachary Kohn.

Adriianna Lagorio

Amy Novick and Isabel are a really awesome team and helped me and my husband navigate the immigration process. They are professional, responsive, and able to anticipate problems that may arise. If you are unsure about who to go with look no further than Hayes Novick. They will be professional, up front, and help with any questions you have. I could not be more thankful to have such a strong team help me get my husband here.

Laura J. Salmon

Best immigration group! Lizeth and Att. Haynes we’re helpful, professional and knowledgeable. They addressed my concerns and put me at ease through the process. I highly recommend’

Robert Warnock

At the referral of friends, Joy Haynes of Haynes-Novick Immigration provided invaluable help in steering us through a permanent residence application on the basis of a same-sex marriage. It was a pleasure to have worked with her over the course of nearly a year, from her initial consultation to outline our immigration options, through to our marriage and subsequent petition for alien relative and adjustment of status application, and finally to our marriage interview at U.S.C.I.S. and conditional permanent residence status. From the start, Joy was exhibited the sincere interest, expertise, competence, and unhurried thorughness that prepared us for what might follow and for a timeline with some built-in uncertainties. We were put at ease in a sometimes unnerving process knowing that we had Joy as our attorney, and never felt that we enjoyed anything less than her full (and immediate) attention at every step. We are happy to recommend Joy Haynes for her professionalism, knowledge and experience, and genuine care and interest she takes with her clients.

Jason Rada

We highly recommend Haynes & Novick Immigration. Thank you very much Atty. Zachary Kohn and Atty. David Rothwell. We (me and my wife) are very grateful to have you as our lawyers. Our case has been the most difficult, but you stayed with us and guided us on our immigration journey. Thank you for helping us to finally get our greencards. God Bless.

Julia Cereda

My husband and I highly recommend Joy as an immigration attorney. We applied for change of status in June 2015 and my husband received his green card within the predicted timeframe. She made the experience completely easy and stress-free. Even though we live in New York, all the paperwork was conveniently handled by email and all meetings were conducted via Skype. She thoroughly explained every step of the process and promptly replied to any questions or concerns we had. It was a smooth, flawless experience and we are very pleased with the outcome.

Anita B.

From the moment I called Haynes Novick until the time everything was worked out, Jim Tom, Lizeth, and the whole team at Haynes Novick we’re responsive and professional. In our initial consultation with Jim Tom, he was very upfront, honest, and extremely knowledgeable. He let us know our case was very straightforward and we could probably file the paperwork ourselves. But this is the kind of stuff you do NOT want to mess up on, so we hired Jim Tom to do everything for us and that was one of the best decisions ever. Our case worked out perfectly and it was wonderful to have him and his team on our side. Thank you Jim Tom and Lizeth!

Jay Telfer

Rina Gandhi was the immigration attorney who assisted me with my filing for Permanent Residency and she did an EXCELLENT job. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. She is extremely professional, patient, always follows up and ensures the objective is achieved to the best of her ability. The firm on a whole provided me with the best service expected And even more. I would definitely recommend!

Jonathan montepara

During this hard time, It happened to receive one good news thanks to the professionalism and dedication of the attorney Catherine Reynolds. I got my first O-1 visa! Throughout the process, I got asked to send more evidences to the immigration office because of the requirements upgrading. With Catherine Reynolds experience and knowledge I obtained the visa successfully and in a relatively short time. Great service, great people, great results.

Safiya Zubair

I have the pleasure working with Attorney Rothwell and Attorney Kohn. I am very grateful for the help I always receive from them . Ever Since the move, I have needed their services and as always the service exceeds my expectations. At any time I need them they are always available to help quickly and a high level of professionalism.

Selena Daniels

The firm helped my husband obtain his IR1 visa. We worked specifically with Zachary Kohn who went above and beyond to reunite our family with the delays of the pandemic. We are forever thankful.

Kamen Bliznashki

Worked with Jim and Lizeth on our green card application and adjustment of status. They made the process look simple and easy; prepared us very well for the various submissions, timing, and interview. Will look to them again for our future immigration needs.

Cristal Torres

My husband and I started my husbands case with Attorney Rothwell and ended up with Attorney Kohn, along with paralegal Guillermo Sobalvarro. We had such a great experience and all went very smoothly! I’m very very satisfied with the outcome! We would recommend anyone who is looking for professional, always on top of it lawyers. 10/10 would recommend!! Thank you everyone at Haynes Novick Immigration!

Ivan Z

Joy's knowledge of the Immigration law and complete understanding of her clients made our long journey to my citizenship as easy and worry-free as it could possibly be. Joy knows exactly how to navigate the process for each of her clients. There wasn't a question or concern that wasn't addressed within literally minutes, and, more importantly, Joy anticipated every detail. Such combination of experience and customer focus is rare. We can't imagine doing it alone or with anyone else.

Brian Doyle

I can't express how incredible Joy has been throughout this process. She has been rapid to respond, prompted us to respond, and very helpful throughout the entire immigration process for me and my wife. She is without a doubt the best lawyer I've worked with in the DC metro area.

William Sileo

If you are seeking a same-sex immigration attorney / lawyer for the green card process in Virginia, Maryland, or Washington, D.C., I wholeheartedly recommend Joy Alegria Haynes. Joy is extremely fair and transparent with pricing; there are no surprise fees. She was very responsive to our questions, and no question was too small. Joy understood the challenges of the process, and was a nice blend of compassion and skill. She is very conscientious, kind-hearted, professional, empathetic and very knowledgeable. Joy is dedicated to working with the LGBT community on immigration issues. It was a pleasure working with Joy.

Estelle Raimondo

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.

WM Lewis

Cannot recommend highly enough. December 2019 I decided to tackle the biggest thing on my punch list and that was to finally transition from Permanent Resident to American citizen after a very long time, I had built up so many questions in my head that I kept putting it off. The moment I started corresponding with Ana Sami, everything just fell into place and the process became so very clear. Between Ana and Amara Tek I felt I was in the best of hands. Every time I had a question and emailed, they BOTH responded within the day with answers. Covid began in March 2020 and delays in the process kicked in, but the ladies kept me up to date and on track. Again, whenever a question popped into my head, I would email and they would put my mind to rest. October 2020 came and my interview with immigration was on the books for November. Lots of questions from me and Ana would put my mind at rest. My interview went wonderfully and then I was scheduled for the ceremony in VA, January 2021. The ceremony was quiet due to Covid and all went smoothly. I immediately touched base with Ana and Amara and they could not have been more genuinely kind and happy for me. I am so happy I reached out to the people at Haynes Novick, they really are invested in your process and are genuinely kind professional people. Make the call, you will not be taken more care of. Thank you ladies.

Igor Kozulovic

Joy made the green card application process painless and easy. She was always available to answer any questions we had and was very knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help on how to navigate the increasingly complex USCIS bureaucracy successfully and get things done on schedule! 10/10!

patricia romero

Haynes Novick immigration, did an excellent job. The team was great. Specially Mr. Jim Tom Haynes and Mrs. Lizeth zeledon for all of their hard work and efforts to process our case. They made the process easy and convenient. We could not have had a better experience with any other law firm.

Abass Bundu

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Haynes Novick Immigration! They were extremely helpful in helping my family through this challenging and confusing process. Ana was an amazing person to work with and we are forever grateful for there services!

Bustamante 03

The Novick team has been there for my wife from the start until my wife finally became a resident. Lizeth Zeledon , his assistant is well knowledge with the entire process. Ms. Zeledon review each and every document with enteric detail and meticulous precision. Im glad to call her a friend. Thank you for all your help. Muchísimas gracias y bendiciones.

Shahyar mahabadi

Ms. Haynes helped us with an immigration matter over several years and, because of her expertise in the field, everything went smoothly and efficiently. Going through a legal process can be stressful, but Ms. Haynes is a good attorney and is with her client through the experience until conclusion. It was a pleasure working with her.

Alexandra Argueta

My husband and I feeling very grateful having Attorney Zachary Kohn, David Rothwell , Mayra and Guillermo. We can't express how extraordinary professionalismo communication skills respond in my immigration case.Strongly I will recommend Attorney Zachary Kohn and team. Thank you so much everyone. Maria/ Bayardo.

untitled lullaby

The team here made going through the process easier! Very responsive and kind, and are ready to go out of their way to help. Joy and her colleagues, were the best immigration lawyers I could have asked for!

Pablo Cardinale

Amy Novick was the only Lawyer I could have a regular conversation over the phone! I work at the World Bank Group, and thus my whole family holds a G4 Visa. My three children had met the 7.5 years required for them to apply for a Green Card, so I started to ask colleagues for Immigration Lawyers. In the WBG intranet page there is a list with a dozen of possible options. I called and/or emailed at least 7 of those names. Most of them had an assistant that knew nothing about the process and, at best could, book a consultation appointment within a week. Others had answering machines. Amy was the only one that picked-up her phone the first time I called, kindly responded all my questions in my first phone call with her, and showed real interest in me and my family as clients. She explained what we were responsible for, what she would do, how long was the whole process likely to take, how much we had to pay the US Immigration Services, and how much were her fees. A week after we spoke over the phone, we were signing a service contract, she accompanied by email the whole process, confirming we were going to the appointments we needed to go to, biometrics, etc, and after no more than two months, in what for us was a seamless straight forward process, my three kids got their green cards in the mail. Some of the other lawyers responded latter, but to be quite honest, they made me feel that they would be doing me a favor and/or they could not be bothered, thus had me talk with their assistants. Amy was the only one that had a service oriented attitude, heard what I was asking, and provided knowledgeable straight forwards responses. Price-wise they all charge more or less the same, but kind-quality service has no price. I recommend Amy Novak to anyone.

Marc Cohn

We hired Joy Haynes about 3 1/2 years ago to help guide me through the challenging and ever-changing process of immigrating to the US. Simply put, I can't say enough great things about Joy and her team. In addition to being very friendly, responsive, straight forward, and well-versed in immigration law, we found her to be: knowledgable and experience about the system and process; very well organized with submitting evidence, applications, and meeting deadlines; prepared us appropriately for USCIS interviews; her practice's no-nonsense billing structure - she didn't up-sell services that we didn't require - such as accompanying us to our interviews; and finally her ability to manage our expectations throughout the entire process... Thanks to Joy and her team, I am now a proud citizen of the USA!

Glen M.

I highly recommend Joy Alegria Haynes as a lawyer / attorney for U.S. same-sex immigration and the ‘green card’ process in the states of Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC. After inquiring about same-sex immigration (via email) with several attorneys in the Washington, D.C. area, my husband and I were most impressed with Joy’s prompt, professional and succinct reply. Her fees are extremely reasonable. She delivered on all aspects of the immigration process. Throughout the entire process, our emails to Joy were always answered the same business day, usually within a couple of hours. There is a lot of waiting for immigration officials to process various aspects of one’s green card application, so having a reliable and diligent lawyer was very comforting. Joy is extremely well-organized and efficient. Having an outside, objective professional involved in a process that can be emotional, given its importance, was critical to achieving a happy outcome. Joy brought us tremendous peace-of-mind. Nowhere was this more important than when we were preparing for the interview. I was nervous about the interview, but as with all steps, Joy went over the process with us and ensured that we had all our documentation in order. Also for my peace-of-mind, we had Joy attend our interview. The interview went extremely well because of the prep that we had done with Joy. If you are seeking legal representation in your same-sex immigration application, Joy Alegria Haynes is a dedicated, knowledgeable and kind-hearted professional. Glen Moulton

Ed Natividad

We just got my husband's 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.

Joy held our hand every step of the way. From the very first phone call, before we'd even hired her, Joy took the time to listen, explain, and educate us about our immigration journey.

Niamh Bennett

Highly recommend Joy Haynes and Haynes Novick Immigration. They ensured that my marriage-based greencard was a smooth process - and that I was well-prepared for anything. If you have any immigration needs - Haynes Novick Immigration should be your first call!

Marah Ysabelle Santos

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.

Mr Kohn was God sent! He helped take care of our immigration issues despite the limited time and the legal issues involved in our case. He is knowledgeable and responds quickly to all your legal questions. I'm glad I met him and will recommend him any day to anyone. Thanks again Mr. Kohn.

Kim Harris

The care and support we received from the team was excellent! After only 10 months I have my green card. Everything went smoothly and someone was always on hand to answer our questions promptly. Excellent and courteous service.

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.

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.

I am sincerely grateful to Mr. Jim Tom Haynes and his team(Lizeth) for helping me out with my case! I have always been able to have my questions answered, and it did not matter how many times I had to ask the same question. Lizeth always updates me on changes and how changes affected my case. Today I feel a lot better about my status and not worrying about loosing my family! The monetary value does not equivalent the peace they have help me attained. I remain grateful!!

Kelly Campagne

Joy and her team were an absolute delight to work with as we navigated the process of adjusting status due to our same-sex marriage. From our intial meeting, to the moment DOMA was struck down, to the day my husband got his green card, she was our cheerleader and champion. We never felt alone and could not have asked for more support or encouragement, or better guidance in navigating the minefield of immigration. I encourage anyone in a bi-national relationship, whether LGBT or not, to contact Joy for help in the immigration process.

Nick Rowan

Jamie and I were looking to get help with the immigration process through our marriage. We found this farm through an app (I think) and got connected to Rina, our lawyer. I can’t say enough of her knowledge about the immigration process and filings, and the options she presented to us in our meetings. She was very accessible and always reaponded to our calls and emails, and when she wasn’t available her staffs let us know and took care of us. I personally respected that kind of professionalism. Not to Metion the payment help we got from their accounting. Our application just got approved. Thank you so much, we could not do it without your help. ❤️

I am based in Maryland. From submitted my case to received my green card took around 10 months. They were very professional. I felt very comfortable in this process because they were super helpful and friendly in this process. I would definitely recommend them to you and to my friends.

Gerard Beck

Joy and her great team accompanied us from the green card application all the way through the naturalization process. They were always one step ahead of the curve and made the whole thing very easy. Highly professional staff, excellent customer service, great attitude, and impeccable work ethic. Highly recommended!

Roger Rojas

Haynes Novick team have been amazing with us from start to finish. Their team is dedicated to their clients and to make sure everything is done properly on time. I truly admire their work ethic and dedication to their clients and I highly recommend them. I am truly satisfied with their service 😃 …

Jessica Vargas

Cannot be more pleased with the hard work and effort of Attorney Kohn and his team; Assistant Guillermo Sobalvarro and Assistant Mayra Lobaton. With their many efforts, they were able to reopen an older case which will help move along my current case with immigration. When other lawyers said it would be too difficult, I thought to put my trust in Attorney Kohn. This was extremely difficult to do, however Attorney Kohn proceeded with confidence and the motion to reopen was granted. I am extremely appreciative and grateful for their dedication. I would highly recommend this team. They are the best at what they do! God bless Attorney Kohn and his team! Many Thanks

The best Lawyer in the DMV area Mr. David Rothwell he is professional and caring. He help my family with the residency petition and took the time to find the best route for us. Now I have pleasure to recommend that firm to my friends and family and everyone I have sent has the best experience with their cases.

A Yehuda

Not only is Joy Alegria Haynes extremely knowledgable about bi-national, gay familiesshe genuinely cares about GLBT people. WIth all the angst and hesitation we had in finding the right attorney to handle our green card process, we couldn't have been more fortunate to decide on Ms. Haynes. Truly a joy from beginning to end.

Doreen Sheridan (Dvaleris)

I have never met a lawyer in any discipline as helpful, competent and, most importantly, warm as Joy. Working with her is more like having a super-smart friend at your side than having a cold professional who may or may not actually care. The entire firm is conscientious and low-pressure. Cannot recommend this firm enough (and I do, to all my friends who need the representation!)

Miguel Fuentes

They are so good, so professional!! everything was done over the phone because of the Covid-19 Every question that I had was answered perfectly, and now yes! I’m a citizen!!! Zachary and Carolina get 10 out of 10!!

Irma Tirado

It has been a blessing to know Haynes Novick Immigration, they have been our attorneys for my family for years. They helped my parents obtain their green card and now mine. Lizeth Zeledon has treated us like family helping us in every step and guiding us, making the process easy. She answered any questions we had and she explained every process very clear. On the day of the court I was very happy to see how confident and professional Jim Haynes was, they had everything on file and very organized. They are very professional, I highly recommend them.

Rosa

I had the chance to work with Joy Haynes and her team, Ana. I highly recommend. Immigration issues are daunting and Joy made the whole process very easy, smooth, and enjoyable. She was available at all times, not only to get the things done, but also to make sure I understood all the steps along the way. This made me feel much more confident. I truly cannot be happier. Her professionalism and experience are invaluable. In fact, I received my green card so fast, it only took 4 months! (and without an interview). I will definitely recommend her to friends and family, and come back if/when needed!

For many years now, Joy Haynes has been handling immigration cases(H1/H4/H4 EAD/PERM/I140/GreenCard/EAD/AP etc) for my husband and I, and each time, it's been a shear joy to work with Joy. Not only she's really good at her work, she's available for help almost anytime. At some point you may not have an active case with her, you can always reach out to her for any immigration related legal advise. Over many years of working with her, i can not think of a time when I/my husband were waiting on her, however, more common scenario was that she's always following up with us cause she's waiting on us to send her details/docs she had asked for. On more than one instances, we had dropped her an email with documents / details on a Friday afternoon, but before we reached office on Monday morning , she had already reviewed everything and had given feed back on it. It'd be unfair, if i don't mention the support provided by paralegals there. All the para legals are super professional and are always on top of your case. can't remember if i ever found a correction / mistaken in their work, but many a times they've caught our mistakes / missing docs. All in all, you'd be hard pressed to find a better bunch of immigration attorneys and paralegals who are professional and yet keep personal touch with clients.

Alexander M.

My wife and I worked with Joy and Ana. My wife applied for the green card. Honestly, we cannot speak highly enough of them. Joy and her team made the green card process so smooth. Besides their hard work, they were very responsive attending all our questions and issues. Even though it may seem a straightforward process, Joy's knowledge showed us how much of a difference it makes to have someone to guide you throughout. Highly recommend her services to anyone considering it. We will be recommending her to friends!

khay Martini

Joy and Ana are so great helping me with my Adjustment of Status( Marriage based), work authorization and Advance parole. They submit my forms to USCIS right after I got married. It was really a smooth transactions with them and they are very quick to respond whenever I have questions, which not all immigration lawyer are known for. They are also updating me immediately whenever there’s an update to my case. All in all I’m giving them 5 star cause they deserve it with all their help to me. I didn’t have to worry a thing about the forms getting filed incorrectly all I have to do is answer their questionnaire and submit the necessary documents. I just got my 2 year green card in just a span of 6months without interview next is the removal of condition and Im going to hire them again for that. Thank you Joy, you the best!

Sarai Duran

They are excellent lawyers, they worked on my case and I received a response very quickly and then I had an emergency that I had to leave the country and Zacary helped me a lot in that because I did not receive a response from the USCIS and he did everything possible so that I could have my permission to leave and enter the US so I highly recommend them

Aracely Tello

I obtained my permanent residence through my citizen husband. Attorney Zachary and his team prepared all the necessary documents to present to immigration. The process was very fast and efficient, without missing anything. Zachary Abraham Kohn, Attorney at Law and his firm Haynes Novick Immigration, did an excellent and efficient job. I am very grateful for your services. I definitely recommend them.

Silda Rodriguez

First, I thank God and my lawyer for helping me win my case, and my daughter's, which was very difficult to win but he was able to do it. I am really grateful for his work and I really recommend him, he is an excellent lawyer, he was good choice . He is a patient person, he was able to explain to me how my situation was complicated and I thank him. He is patient, and he helped me understand many things that I could not understand, really recommended.
