SGG Victories
Stone Grzegorek & Gonzalez LLP has a long history of assisting clients from all over the world. The firm is proud of its success stories and hopes their story will inspire others.
Provivi, Inc.
SGG’s business immigration team obtained a National Interest Waiver (NIW), on an EXPEDITED basis, for an entrepreneur and co-founder of Provivi, Inc. Provivi is creating safe and sustainable methods for controlling pest populations to protect food supplies and minimize exposure to insecticide residues. This is pest control as nature intended by protecting our food supplies without toxic residues and empowering the next generation to grow food more sustainably.
The USCIS does not allow premium processing of National Interest Waiver petitions. However, for people making key discoveries in critically important fields such as biotech with a huge impact on sustainable agriculture, the ten plus months it takes for the adjudication of an NIW petition for a founder can mean a loss of venture capital funding, grants, market opportunities, etc. SGG was proud to be able to expedite the processing of an NIW petition given the significant impact of companies like Provivi.
Datascience, Inc.
SGG’s business immigration team was instrumental in obtaining visas for international trainees in the first Datascience Bootcamp – DS12 – a twelve week training program for 12 trainees with no tuition fees or noncompete agreements. This ongoing and innovative program was created by Datascience, Inc. to provide a unique opportunity for trainees to learn what it takes to work as part of a best-in-class big data team with world-class instructors and mentors. As part of the program, trainees hone their craft while being paired with mentors from DataScience and other leading big data companies and startups, including Google and Mixpanel.
SGG is proud to have helped make this program available to foreign trainees.
Client Quotes
Thank you for helping me through this 6 year rollercoaster of visas and green cards. Your knowledge, expertise and warmth made it tolerable and finally successful. I am grateful for you and your entire team, and what you helped me accomplish.
Seven years ago, we began the process of moving to the United States through an EB-5 program. Throughout the entire process, our lawyers provided exceptional assistance and service. I would highly recommend them, as they are both professional and friendly.
I would like to express my gratitude towards Elsie and Christina for their invaluable assistance during the final phase of the process.
SGG, especially Elsie Hui’s team, has been extremely helpful facilitating my I829 process. Their team is very professional, experienced, and responsive. When we ask a question, they always provide us with very comprehensive responses and explain things in detail. While our I829 was still pending, they provided very constructive and effective advice to us, and we were able to receive our PRC much faster than expected. They guided us in every single step and made the process very smooth. I highly recommend them!
I could not be more pleased with the services provided to me by the SGG Immigration group. This team of experienced legal professionals represented me throughout my EB-5 visa journey: from my I-526 and I-829 petitions to my N-400 application. Today, I write this testimony as a recently naturalized U.S. citizen filled with gratitude for the enduring support from Elsie Arias and her team. I could not recommend this firm enough!
We highly recommend SGG law firm. We are a group of investors in the 829 project with more than 20 families. Due to the delay of the Immigration USCIS, our average 829 waiting time has been more than 3 years, which has brought great troubles to our life. According to the recommendations of our friends, we compared several law firms and finally decided to sign with SGG law firm to initiate a lawsuit against the Immigration USCIS, requesting them to approve our 829 as soon as possible. English is not our mother language. at the beginning, we were nervous about communication and were afraid of mistakes in communication. We thank SGG for patiently answering all our questions, dispelling our concerns, and helping us coordinate the needs of all families. Finally, with the help of SGG professionals, all our families passed USCIS 829 approval in a short time. Great SGG
STONE GRZEGOREK & GONZALEZ conducted my brother’s process of obtaining Eb5 visa. This process took several years and was a fairly complex immigration case. Given that my brother was still in Iran at the time and in order to fill the communication gaps, I brokered a lot of the communications between STONE GRZEGOREK & GONZALEZ LLP and my brother. I am thrilled to share our experience working with this firm. STONE GRZEGOREK & GONZALEZ LLP is truly an amazing law firm. They are the most knowledgeable, compassionate, caring and kind attorneys we’ve ever worked with. We wish to especially convey our deep appreciation and gratitude for the kindness, representation, expertise, compassion and communication we received from Taiyyeba Skomra, Susan Pilcher, Elsie Hui Arias, Jennifer Lin and especially to the owner, Lincoln Stone whose leadership and involvement throughout the process and his stellar customer service was like a breath of fresh air. I would strongly recommend these distinguished attorneys for any immigration matters and representation you may require. Their approach, knowledge, their thoroughness, compassion, attention to details are unmatched. They are very meticulous and an absolute delight to work with and have them represent you. Thanks a lot STONE GRZEGOREK & GONZALEZ LLP. You are magnificent!
I highly recommend Kathy Grzegorek and her team for immigration related services to anyone. I have worked with several legal firms in the past during my almost 19 years in US, I must say SGG Immigration team is the Best! They handled every aspect of our case timely, thoroughly and professionally. We had a very seamless and pleasant experience.
It takes more than 8.5 years since I submitted my EB5 application and more than 5 years for my 829 condition removal. I appreciate that SGG and their staffs’ great support and get my 829 approved within two months. The service from SGG is professional, responsive and effective. I will strongly recommend SGG with my friends whoever is looking for immigration legal services.
I contacted SGG legal team in 2007 to handle my immigration case which was pending for very long time without any known reason, my case was almost three years delayed and we never got any explanation from the USCIS while I was following all the legal steps with great care and honesty due to my sincere desire to become a US citizen.
SGG legal team handled my case in a very professional way and great follow up with the USCIS. The fees were very fair and if compared to other legal firms, I consider SGG have a low rates for my case. I never felt that I was overcharged and they always tried to avoid any extra charges.
I am very thankful to Ms. Taiyyeba together with Mr. Stone, as she took care of my case at the end after almost seven years of losing hope to get my citizenship, she followed daily with different USCIS departments till finally I was happy to get my notice that I became a US citizen.
I have great respect and confidence to all SGG Legal team for their professional and care they give to their clients.
We hired Immigration attorney from the Law Offices Stone Grzegorek & Gonzalez for my nephew’s complex employment based immigration case immediately when my nephew faced a deportation proceedings. He had a tremendously complicated case, yet they were able to reopen it by the Board of Immigration Appeals and follow through to finish by acquiring a green card for him and his family. Attorneys at this office are highly ethical, professional, trustworthy, and attentive. Lincoln Stone made our dreams come true by helping keep our family together. We have used this legal firm over 10 years helping with 4 different cases including 3 EB5 visas. Lincoln Stone is one of the best immigration attorney in the country & Would highly recommend.
