From the beginning of the process, Fernanda and her team were always attentive and informative at every step. In addition, whenever there was any doubt on our part (myself or my family’s), they were always ready to help me and answered all our questions.

In 2022, my wife and I came to the US to apply for a green card via EB-2 NIW. As a former airline captain with experience in Boeing 777 and Airbus A330 training, after much research, I chose Dr. Fernanda Cortes of Cortes Immigration. From the beginning, she and her team were extremely professional, organizing quick meetings, creating a platform for document submission, and providing full support. My case was submitted in July and by November, it was approved. In September, I received a work permit and since then, I have been working as an Airbus A330 training manager for an American airline. I highly recommend Cortes Immigration for their expertise and attention to detail.

I have always dreamed of living in the United States. I made the difficult decision to leave Brazil at a time when my life was excellent, with a good job and many achievements. However, there was still something missing: living in the United States. I received an opportunity for temporary work and, when I arrived, I began to study the opportunities for residency. I researched some immigration lawyers and was recommended Fernanda Cortes, Esq. When she mentioned the possibility of obtaining a green card, I was very anxious, as it was something beyond what I had imagined possible. We had a few meetings so that she could get to know my profile, some by video conference and others by phone, which made me very comfortable. Fernanda Cortes always explained the steps of the process, being very transparent about the costs. The Cortes Immigration office has professionals from different areas with knowledge on the subject, which helped a lot. There were times when I received a notification on the app and asked Fernanda Cortes, Esq., who promptly clarified and explained to me what steps we should take. I know it was a very difficult decision due to the length of the process, but I had an excellent experience with Fernanda and the entire Cortes Immigration team. The entire process and the time invested were worth it.

Fernanda was our safe haven when we thought we had lost the opportunity to change our status due to a mistake by the previous lawyers who assisted us. Her unconditional support, patience, and the most appropriate process for our family to receive a green card gave us the peace of mind we needed to move to another country that we were looking for. The attention and care of a Brazilian with complete knowledge of US immigration laws, and the appropriate legal guidance for each emerging situation, were invaluable. We recommend Fernanda to friends who always celebrate their green cards or processes rescued after unpleasant experiences. Cortes law firm is on our list of recommendations for anyone who is thinking of living in the United States. Thank you, Fernanda!

My name is Marcelo Loureiro, an airline pilot with over 12 years of experience. The best decision of my life was choosing Cortes Immigration to apply for my EB-2 NIW. My application was approved in ONLY 3 AND A HALF MONTHS after submitting it to US Citizenship and Immigration Services! A competent and caring team! I definitely recommend them to everyone!

When my husband and I decided to look for ways to immigrate to the United States, we were worried, as it was a life-changing situation full of risks. When we spoke to Fernanda Cortes, I felt safe from the beginning. She explained the EB2 NIW process to us and told us that we met the eligibility requirements for the visa. In December 2021, we decided to start the process. In April 2022, we filed our case with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services, with an estimated time frame of up to 18 months to return. Surprisingly, I received an approval in September of the same year. This means that I was approved in ONLY 5 MONTHS! We were amazed at the agility and assertiveness obtained through Fernanda’s quality and professionalism. We recommend her office without any reservations. Very grateful!
