This review is for Family Visa & Immigration Services. We had the pleasure to work with Cynthia B, who was our designated paralegal and Galen as our lawyer. We couldn’t have asked for better people to work with. Galen & Cynthia was there every step of the way and answered our questions in such a quick manner and went above and beyond serving us. And my husband had A LOT of questions. Thankfully they were both vert patient with us. We had a very strong case and my husband did his part and was proactive about his case. I highly recommend this business for people seeking immigration services. They are highly knowledgeable and excellent at what they do. We will be contacting them again for future applications when needed, and will be telling our family and friends about them. We are very grateful for all the staff, paralegal, and lawyers that played a part in our case. We’ll be sending pictures from our cruise to Cancun next year! LOL. God bless you guys and your business!

I would like to say Thank you to Family Visa & Immigration Services for the great representation on our case. We had the wonderful pleasure to work with Cynthia B here in Las Vegas area, and she is a wonderful person & a great paralegal. Lawyer Galen and Cyntia are very professional and knowledgeable in the area of immigration. In the past two year, they helped us to get the parole in place approved, and they worked getting our SSN along with the work authorization and lastly, they worked getting our permanent residency. My wife and I worked along with Cynthia during the case, and she was amazing replying all my email and calls. I don't have the words to express my gratitude toward them for all the work they did with our case. I will definitely recommend them to everyone. Family Visa & Immigration Services has wonderful lawyers and paralegal who can help you and guide you every step of the way.

At first I was very nervous and confused by the lack of knowledge due to my immigration status at the time I first visited the FAMILY VISA & IMMIGRANT SERVICES IMMIGRATION LAW OFFICES office but thanks to the warm, receptive, cordial and professional attention they gave me all the assistants and the lawyer in the office from the beginning to the present; I felt much better, more relaxed, safer and more protected to continue with them, trusting them to obtain approval for a legal immigration status within the United States. This work team, with their professionalism and diligence, has made it possible for me to continue in this country legally without delays or inconveniences on their part, which is why I feel very satisfied with their great work and where I recommend them 100%.

If you’re looking for an attorney to help your family, Galen is the one. Many attorneys don’t take the time to understand your concerns or address any questions. Galen did. He understood the sensitivity behind our case and followed it with close attention for two years. I am grateful to him and his team for helping our family obtain a successful outcome. I know many reviews don’t say the best things about John however I can confidently say Galen truly cares for his clients and takes pride in his work.

I wanted to take my time and review Family Visa & Immigration Services because of the great experience I've had with the firm. If you are looking for a great team who is dedicated to work with you and provide you the best service, this is the firm to go with. I've noticed each one of their staff has strive and is dedicated to their work, they don't seem burnt out and you can count on them to work closely with you from start to finish. They are personal and you can tell that they truly care. I want to also give some recognition to the paralegal who I worked with, Veronica. She was professional, always responsive, and showed her passion by keeping us updated and not dropping the ball. As someone who had a stressful case, Veronica always remained calm and allowed me to feel safe in situations where I thought nothing was going to work in my favor. I know that she is a great asset to this firm. 10/10 experience. I will be sharing my experiences with every one who needs help!

Melanie Cruz

I will recommend Family Visa and Immigration Services if you need an attorney for your immigration concerns. I went to their office August 2023. They processed my paper and submitted it to USCIS December 2023. Got approved for my US citizenship and took my oath April 2024. I was amazed how fast I got the approval. Thank you, Attorney John Carrico in Reno. I will forever be grateful for your help.
