IMMIGRATION SUCCESS HIGHLIGHTS
AMERICAN JOURNALIST AND BOSNIA RELATIVES
AMERICAN JOURNALIST AND BOSNIA RELATIVES
In over 15 years, we have documented immigration success stories from a cross section of clients, in a wide range of visas – humanitarian visas and relief, family-based visas and and business related-visas.
In 1995, our first household cook case created a precedent. Our labor certification application for a Filipino household cook, was approved and reported in the legal community (www.aila.org, read more). On our 15th year, in 2010, we helped a European scientist, obtain a green card as the first green roof expert to qualify as an alien of exceptional ability alien, proving that he serves U.S. national interest. In between, we championed victims of violence, special immigrants like religious ministers, and World Bank executives and even J-1 exchange visa scholars in waivers.
In this page, our clients and peers, share insights and kind words, and with their permission, we are sharing them with you, in order to plant seeds of hope and inspiration, in the face of harsh immigration laws and in the economic downturn.

Dear Miriam:
I am writing to express my gratitude for the invaluable counsel you gave me regarding my family's attempt to bring a relative to the United States from Bosnia.
As a journalist who has covered the incredibly complex and often arcane world of immigration law, and who has known far less accomplished immigration attorneys, I was so impressed with the breadth of your knowledge and experience. Your ability to strategize and approach a case from a variety of directions is equally impressive. Clearly, you are extremely skilled in your field and a top-notch professional.
As important is your obvious dedication to helping people and being a tough and persistent advocate for them. I knew immediately my family and I would be in the best of hands with you, and that you would devote all the time and energy required to help us with this crucial effort on our relative’s behalf. Your personal manner is also a delight.
I intend to heartily recommend you to anyone in need of legal assistance on any immigration matter. I feel very fortunate that the American Immigration Lawyers Association recommended you to me when I called them for a referral and I assure you that I will call on you again.
Thank you so much for your sage advice and wonderful service.
With best wishes,
Lisa Hoffman"

DELICATE NATURALIZATION CASE SUCCEEDS
"Thanks to Attorney Miriam Riedmiller, I’m now a U.S. citizen, after 24 years of my procrastination… she rescued me from my own mistakes, and from being victimized by a web scam.
Because I’m a critical care nurse, I take care of trauma patients, forgetting about myself. When I tried to apply for through the internet, I fell victim to a scam. When I paid with my credit card, I thought that the $680.00 was for the filing fees: $595 for the N-400 and $ 85.00 for the biometrics. I was wrong!!!! . I tried everything to trace the web owners but I could only pray.
After being victimized, I realized that what I need is a real immigration attorney – a trustworthy professional who would help me solve my expiring green card issue. That’s when I remembered that for many years, I‘ve seen the ads of Attorney Riedmiller at the Filipino newspaper in the store. So, I decided to call her. When I met her, I saw that she was warm and real. She took my case, and helped me apply for naturalization, prepare for the interview and she accompanied at the USCIS interview, all the way to my oath taking the same day.
Attorney Riedmiller’s legal services are above and beyond my expectation. I was so happy , my own husband, decided to hire her for his citizenship application. Thank you! "

Good morning Attorney Miriam Riedmiller. I appreciate the personal touch you gave to my naturalization application. I feel lucky to be a U.S. citizen. Before then, I felt lucky for my green card as a special immigrant ( I-360 Petition).
It is comforting to have a lawyer like you who can work on a delicate case, and show so much concern for me and my case. It feels as if you stepped into my shoes, as a client . Indeed, this kind of reputation precedes you.
Talk to you soon. Thanks, Annie (Alexandria, Virginia)"

"Dear Ms. Riedmiller,
My family and I have appreciated all the hard work and dedication you have made towards my case. I will be the first to mention that you were the best lawyer i could ask for my situation. it's been more than 2 years since we started on this roller coaster of events and you've been as dedicated to my case as you were the from day one. I do understand that it's just the INS bureau taking a really long time to go over my case, and after all the work you did i am definite that we will win. I have been very blessed and lucky to have had you work on my very peculiar case and rest assure you will always be the only one i referred anybody that has immigration problems.
Thank you very much for your time, and i hope you have a great day and also happy holidays.
sincerely,
Ami from Nebraska, 2010

"As an immigration attorney, Ms. Miriam Bustamante Riedmiller, has represented me, Carole Boggermann from the Netherlands, since the end of 1999. She has informed me and my American husband of all our immigration options, guided us efficiently through the application process and effectively prepared us for INS interviews. In June 2000, I received my fiancée visa, which allowed me to move to the US and marry the man I love. In February of 2001, I received the conditional greencard and now, after two years of being happily married, we’re glad she will help us with the last phase: the removal of the temporary status of the greencard. We are thankful for her professional advice and trust."
