The Grinch tried to steal our 2021 Christmas, but Christine came to the rescue! My mother-in-law, green card holder, got stuck in Brazil during the beginning of the pandemic. Since she is in a high risk category, she only returned to the US in Dec 2021 after her doctor's blessing. I consulted with Christine prior to my mother-in-law's arrival to see if there would be any issues since she had been out of the US for 2 years. Christine spent an hr with me, running through the gamut of possibilities. "Worst case scenario, they take her into the back room and try to bully her into abandoning her residency and handing over her green card. If that happens, make sure she does not renounce her residency."Lo and behold, when my mother-in-law arrived she was taken into the back room and bullied for over 4 hours in an attempt to get her to hand over her green card. She told me the one thing that echoed in her mind throughout the entire ordeal was "DONT hand over my green card!" She made it out with only a fine and her green card in hand!If it had not been for Christine's counsel, my mother-in-law certainly would have caved under the pressure and renounced her residency. Thank you Christine!

Christine's preparation meeting was critical for my Mom –an English learner– to pass her citizenship interview. Her insight into what the officer might ask about her application was right on, so my Mom was not taken by surprise by anything about the interview, and having Christine by her side was just the support she needed. She's a very happy citizen now!

Christine, Johanna, and Ana were all a fantastic team. They were professional, prompt with turning around documents, and went out of their way to make my immigration process seamless (even during COVID, when so much has been up in the air). Christine was down to earth and clearly experienced when working with the USCIS. I felt much more comfortable having them on my team, and highly recommend them to anyone going through an immigration process.

I hired Christine to work on the CR1 visa application for my wife. They handled everything from beginning to end and were very helpful in answering all of my questions and concerns. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone who is in need of them.

I work with International students in Higher Ed. Christine has helped me understand the complex and ever-changing rules around various visa types. I don't always get the answer I *want* but I know the answer I get is always accurate and thorough. Christine has helped me help so many. Thank you!

I want to thank Christine and all of her team for the help and support they have given me. They definitely go above all to help you in anyway they can. I’m going to admit that I haven’t been the best on being on top of getting my documents submitted on time, but this team made sure I got it done. Sad I know I’m that client! but when you have such an awesome lawyer like Christine you don’t have to worry because she makes sure it gets done! Thank you for all your support and patience.

I hired Christine Stouffer to assist in acquiring permanent residence status for myself and my daughter. Thanks to Christine and her staff, this daunting process went as smoothly as possible and has resulted in two happy green card holders. All documents were filed correctly and Christine attended and successfully advocated for us at the interview with USCIS. Christine is courteous, efficient and extremely knowledgable. In addition, I think Christine goes above and beyond in communicating with and caring about her clients; every email and phone call was answered promptly and in detail, even after our cases were completed. I highly recommend Christine Stouffer!

I used the services of Christine as both a recommendation from my husband and other friends to navigate the immigration process for my self. As any one who has had to navigate the USCIS to petition for a change of status and application for a green card, it's not only complicated but an emotional roller coaster. Christine was thoughtful and explained every thing in detail along the way and provided clear information about what I had to provide. She completed and submitted all applications correctly and on time. My petition was successful and I'm now a proud permanent resident of the US. Would I recommend Christine's Law services to others.. Absolutely Yes. and I have and will continue to do so. I can't thank Christine enough for making such a stressful process as easy as possible.
