Client Reviews

Mrs Shautsova with her accurate hard work , professionalism and quality service she was able to get approvals of the approval of 601 and 212 waivers for my brother who was deported twice with 20 year bar and criminal grounds.

I am very grateful to Mrs Shautsova

And highly recommend her because she has an extensive experience representing her clients. Her fees are very reasonable

I decided to call Alena when my first lawyer told me, that my green card case doesn’t have a good outlook, and I would need one or two years to justify my legalization. Alena gave me professional advice and convinced me that we have a good chance to win. It took us four months to develop a new petition and prepare all the necessary documentation. In four months, after initially contacting Alena, I got approval of my petitions. It means that all her efforts proved effective. Alena, thank you for your professional work.

My brother’s case was almost impossible . He had 2 deportations first was 10 years and second -20 years and very complex criminal case. Alena made both

waivers 601 and 212 approved. Ms Shautsova is very knowledgeable and she knows how to deal with very difficult cases. I tried a lot of immigration attorneys spent lots of money.

We are very very happy

My experience with Alena Shautsova has been more than pleasant, & I mean that in all aspects. From start to finish, she not only gave my wife & I the confidence we needed to go through all the necessary steps but she was always informative, polite, easy to talk to, & understanding. I’m someone that always does a great deal of research before I spend money on something, whether it’s something as important as a lawyer or doctor, or something as basic as a mousepad. Anyone researching Ms.Shautsova will find that she has a stellar record & a prestigious background in immigration law. It was the start of my confidence & what led me to contact her in the first place. I am extremely keen when it comes to extrapolating on-paper data into real world scenarios, no matter how abstract the connection. It’s a gift that allows me to see other people’s gifts & how good they can be at it. Believe me when I say, Alena met & EXCEEDED all my expectations no matter the hardships we encountered.

To give a brief description of the situation we had, my wife is Canadian & I am an American citizen. In one of my visits to her, an uncontrollable event forced us to have her cross the border with me on my way back to the U.S.. She overstayed the 6 months that Canadians are allowed to stay within a 12 month period. By this point we’ve been together for 2 and a half years. Another issue was that the border officer who checked us on the Amtrak did not stamp her passport upon entry. I actually had to ask for mine to be stamped as that is something that I prefer to have for my own records.

Fast forward a year and a half into gathering records, filing documents (all of which is made easy with the fact that all you have to do is hand what she asks of you to her), Ms.Shautsova training and preparing us, and my wife and I attending the necessary government protocols such as her getting her biometrics done, we were finally scheduled for an interview. The man who interviewed us was an extremely unfair person and was not satisfied with what we had so we were scheduled for another more in depth interview. This had my wife and I really worried, not so much that we had anything to hide or did anything wrong, as our relationship was as real as it can possibly be, but when someone is the most important thing in the world to you, even the small notion of possibly being separated from them even for a brief moment, is going to eat away at you.

This is where Ms.Shautsova is not only one of the most knowledgeable, skilled, clever, and intelligent immigration lawyer around, but also very considerate, kind, and keenly knows what to inform you about in order for you to regain your composure and your confidence. She briefed us on all our options, what each path would require, and trained us extensively for the interview. She even briefed us on the possible negative outcomes and the solutions for them to keep us from worrying. If you have anything specific to ask, you can be comfortable in asking her. She does not judge. For the two years we knew her we always felt like we were talking to an extremely reliable friend who was helping us get through a stressful situation, instead of just a professional who we were paying to solve our problems. Speaking of payment, Alena’s prices are more than fair. For two years we only paid once, which was the initial payment we agreed to at the very beginning. With Alena Shautsova, you are getting ELITE quality service for the price of your normal lawyer, and I do not exaggerate.

At the end of it all, Ms.Shautsova fought for us and we were able to acquire residency for my wife. If an immigration lawyer is what you’re looking for, I can’t give you a reason why anyone would need to look further. Knowing her for two years, it’s easy for me to see how vast and extensive her knowledge in the field is.

One final thing I want to add in here: Her assistant is a great guy. He played a big role in keeping my wife and I from worrying too much.

Ms. Shautsova is confident, optimistic, and very helpful and resourceful. She made sure that my immigration case was completed as soon as possible. Her turnaround time is fantastic, she replies to emails at any hour of the night. I would recommend her services to anyone! Best of all, she is a genuine person who is interested in your case and wants to truly help you out.

I had a criminal charge in the past and was applying to US visa. The situation was borderline and could turn any way. I asked Alena to provide a 1 time phone consultation.

Alena reviewed documents and prepared for the call. Her answers were very practical and up to the point.

She relieved my nervousness and provided clear explanations and way to go further. Visa received.

Thanks Alena! Great job done.

I heard about Alena from my friends when I was looking for professional lawyer for my Green Card problems. Before coming to A.Shautsova , I talked to my friends and her clients to make sure that she is the right person that I can address her about my Immigration Issue. My friends and her clients highly recommended her with 100% confidence.

She is very sympathetic about her clients. She made my life easier and happier by her positive approach towards my case. She is very organized and experienced that she provided us step by step advice and consulting on the process. We achieved a success on our case and I highly recommend her others as an excellent lawyer with my confidence. In the future I am gonna use her for my other family cases.

Alena is a superb lawyer with an amazing grasp of the american jurispudence…she extremly witty,helpful and takes her time to explain the necessary steps needed to be takin in the case…would dedinatly recommend her to anyone in need of an immigration lawyer in new york city.

Alena is a diligent and knowledgeable professional.
