Jon is amazing at what he does. Having worked in the system, he knows the ins and outs of how everything works and has a clear sense of right and wrong, always ready to tackle any challenge. He helped me through a very difficult immigration … More issue when no one else could, and I’m so thankful for his support. I would recommend Jon to anyone who needs help with immigration. He’s not just a great lawyer- he’s also a kind and humble person.

Let me share some background about my issue and experience with Jonathan. I was in a very difficult situation when my H1B was revoked, and for my H1B transfer received a NOID. I reached out to over 30+ attorneys, but none were able to offer … More any help or even seemed confident about handling my case. Thankfully, I found Jonathan, who not only listened patiently but also took the time to carefully review all the documents. Jonathan has an exceptional understanding of immigration law. He immediately identified the key issues in my case and assured me that he could respond to the NOID effectively. His confidence and knowledge of the law gave me much-needed peace of mind during this stressful time. He explained everything in clear terms, and his approach was thorough and strategic. Thanks to his expertise, finally my H1B transfer was approved! Jonathan's attention to detail, dedication, and deep knowledge of immigration law made all the difference. If you're facing immigration issues, I highly recommend Jonathan—he is a true expert and will fight for the best outcome for you!

It was great to work with Jon and his team regarding my immigration issues while I was stuck in my home country for about 8 months.
We came across Jon’s law firm through LinkedIn and consulted him when US consulate had withheld my passport … More while I submitted for re-stamping. He was patient enough to respond to all my queries and jumped on short notice calls on all my questions.
Thank you for helping us through this difficult times!

We came to Mr. Wasden asking for help when all doors were closed for us. We truly believe that we had the most unique and very complex immigration situation. All the lawyers that we were working with at the time had given up and basically … More told us that nothing can be done from here. There is nothing in the law for situation like we were in.
Mr. Wasden after careful analysis said there is something I can try….he was determined to find solution for us. The fight was not easy but he did not give up on us. He is very easy to talk to and he actually listens!!!
Finally we won after long lawsuits. We received our green cards after 21years being in the US.
If you feel you are stuck in an immigration situation….please talk to Mr. Wasden. He is godsend!!!
A big thank you to Mr. Wasden. We will be forever grateful for the work that Mr. Wasden did for us. 🙏🏻
