We have known you for 10 years, in my opinion, a good lawyer is transactional in providing quality service & outcomes. A great lawyer builds relationships and becomes a true counselor, we found that with you. It was natural for both my wife and I, to count you in our blessings, you provided contrarian advice but with conviction, which enabled us to become part of America, just in time as we welcomed our daughter. Then, through the arc of time, you became our counselor in getting naturalized. We will always be grateful to you and your team.

It is my hope that the consulate will expedite the issuance of the immigrant visa without any further impediments. Furthermore, I hope that they do not require a repeat of the interview process, as Frankfurt is 300 miles away from Munich, were Sofia lives. In line with this, I kindly request that you keep me updated with any response from the consulate. Should you receive any communication relating to this matter, I would greatly appreciate if you could forward it to my attention at your earliest convenience. Once again, your exceptional service is greatly appreciated and I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding the consulate's response.

As a former client of Merrill I have only good things to say about my experience of working with her. Merrill is kind, patient, thorough and very professional in her dealings. She not only helped identify the right path for my immigration journey (EB-1, exceptional talent) but also guided me every step of the way. We went through the process of applying for my green card and then onto citizenship. Merrill worked diligently to make sure my file was complete and set for success. She is very selective and recommended that I apply for this category based on my background as she saw great potential in me and my career with my brand GUNAS. At the time I wasn't even considering this route. If Merrill makes a recommendation, you can be sure she knows what she's talking about! She made my immigration journey feel like a breeze. I'm so thankful that our paths crossed. I highly recommend hiring Merrill and her fantastic team for all your legal needs. She's truly a hidden gem and a pleasure to work with.

We received our green cards in the mail two days ago and are so happy to successfully complete the process!
Thank you so much for your guidance, case management and filing.
When we started to work on our case in summer 2021 it seemed like you were heavily overworked- I am so glad to see you got help to your team by now.
Your management of our case was nothing short of spectacular! I how hard it was for you to work on it during past summer but the chosen category and strong case put forward ultimately proved to be well worth it.
I think by now we are just shy of something around 15 months between filing and issuance of the green card, maybe 17 months from the moment we started to prepare all the documents. Based on what I learned from other cases, this seems to be record time.
Thank you Merrill for enabling us to become permanent residents in the United States.

M.G.N 7/6/21 [LinkedIn Post]
Today I became a U.S. Citizen. At the beginning of my U.S. journey, I heard that I'd never get a Green Card on my own as a professional, and I'll definitely not get it as a marketer. Okay...thanks for the opinion, but that's not my path. Today proves a few rules and beliefs I follow in life:
- Do what you love (I love and always loved working in marketing)
- Work with professionals - Merrill Cohen is The Best Immigration Expert. She is the best in her field as a professional; personally - she is the kindest person I have known, with huge integrity and also fun! - No joke and no sugar coating. She made my case for a Green Card and Citizenship easy, and along the way, I saw how she made other people's lives and careers possible in the U.S. I couldn't be more grateful for her taking my case and, along the way becoming my friend.
A.E.S 6/1/21 [EB-1 green card approved; referral]

I told J. about my case, your experience, and outstanding expertise and recommended he reach out to you. He and his wife would like to stay in the US and gain independence from employers related to immigration. I advised J. to connect with you for consultation and share with you all work/personal related to immigration details that may help you evaluate whether there is a case here.
J., please e-meet Merrill, the best immigration lawyer, aka immigration magician. As I mentioned to you, Merrill helped me and many other people who lost their hope. Please take it from here and share with Merrill any details that may help her evaluate your case.

I'm a German graphic designer, currently based in New York. I'm holding an O-1 visa, which I would like to extend with a US agent. My current visa is going to expire on shortly. I started working on the extension with another firm but unfortunately they have been unresponsive to a point where I don't think I can continue working with them.
When I asked my friends for recommendations for other lawyers that specialize in O-1 visas, you were mentioned a number of times! Would you be available to work on my case? If so, could you give me an idea of the pricing and approximate time frame. I'm sending my resume along for you to get a better understanding of my case.

The officer who interviewed me [NOTE: I filed her EB-1 I-140 Petition and prepared her for her adjustment interview, but did not attend] said he was going to approve my Green Card. Yay :)
And that I was his first Alien of Extraordinary Ability case. And he was honored to handle my case. And although he had handled many other excellent artists, writers, and scientists before, I "kinda blew them all of". ;)
In the end, he said our country needs more people like you. :)

THANK YOU!!!!!!
Thank YOU so much again I truly have no words...
Thank you a million times from my entire family also.
C.B. (E-3 visa) 8/1/2018
Merrill,
I want to express my gratitude to you, your firm, with a particular special mention to Natalie for her exceptional work in supporting my visa application, leading to a successful E3 application.
Working with Natalie was such a pleasure. She was consistently professional, responsive, and amid at times no doubt my unreasonable anxiety and questions, supportive and competent.
As you have seen, I have referred another client and have others to refer to. I would be happy to give you a testimonial to publish - just tell me what will be useful (I will also write a Google online review).
I also wanted to let you know the specific reason I went with your firm. Searching Google from Australia there are so many attorneys, and it's difficult to tell who is good. I had some personal recommendations from people though they hadn't dealt with E3. Your website is relatively unremarkable in differentiation. In our first conversation, you mentioned the possibility of applying straight to green card with my skill set, and your command of law was obvious. You were the only lawyer of the ones I interviewed who suggested the green card application, which made me think of your broader consideration of immigration law for the client. Combined with your warm demeanor, your knowledge, and experience felt superior to the others. And I am so glad I went with your firm.
Many thanks and best wishes.
E.M. (O-1, filmmaker) 8/2/2018
I have my visa in my hands!
Thanks so much for all your help. I was looking at the application at the Consulate. Wow, that was a lot of work and it looked great.
Thanks so much!
M.H. 7/31/18
Hello Mrs. Merrill,
Hope you're doing great. Just wanted to thank you for all your effort. The process was very smooth from the day I called until I got my approval. I went back home and stamped my passport with the new H1B with no issues. You'll definitely be hearing back from me later this year to file for green card.
Thanks again.
A.E. (EB-1 green card, management consultant, pharmaceutical industry) 7/10/2018
Hi Merrill and team,
As I am still processing the great news of my EB1 case approval, I wanted to personally thank you for the exceptional job and your support. I am really grateful for your counsel and help during this case. I could not have asked for a better counsel!
As I am sure you know, this is a very significant step for me and I don't think I would have been able to achieve it without your support!
Thank you for building such a strong case, compiling compelling evidence, pushing me to showcase my profile, writing an excellent argument and also supporting emotionally πthroughout the case/RFE.
I truly value your support and counsel and I am very grateful for your work on the case.
Thank you!

Thank you so much for everything, i don't know where to begin to express my gratitude to you and the firm for this. For me, getting this green card is nothing short of a miracle. I opened your email around 10pm in the office just now, and just about fell over when i read what you wrote. One amazing thing after another, when i got home - in my mailbox was the Green Card. It arrived today with the approval notice for the i-140 and i485. The card looks amazing, its the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. Words fail to describe the sheer joy i feel right now. i have been going through the internet the last few hours exploring my new found freedoms. It is a relief to know i no longer need my i-94 card, and especially my visa, that there are so many benefits to being a Green Card holder, it's amazing. Rest assured, quitting my job is back on the agenda now. I have spent my whole life trying to get here, and the last 5 years trying to stay here. This Green Card gives me the first real taste of freedom i have ever had. For the first time in my life, i have real options now - Thank you so much for that. And that the EB-1 Green Card took only 6 months, that's amazing. Again, my gratitude to you and the firm for all this. If anyone asks me about a good immigration lawyer, i'm sending them over to you for sure.
Regards,
-F.S
When an American Passport arrives it comes with an attached letter saying something like, now the world is yours. After more than 10 years and many ups and downs we finally received our American citizenship, and our "key" to the world, and it's mostly thanks to you!. There are many immigration lawyers in NY, and most of them are probably as much knowledgeable as you are, and are as familiar with the law. Hence, you have something that most are lacking, you have decency and dignity! You understand that you are dealing with people's lives, and that individuals and their families can get hurt if the process is based on an incorrect information or a misleading advice that a lawyer may offer to her clients. Your clients, Merrill, are priviliged to benefit from both your practical advices and your values!. We wanted to thank you from both of our hearts and to wish you the best of luck, sucssess and happiness!
Sincerely,
G & A
I would like to thank you for your care and hard work with my green card application. When I was first meeting with lawyers, you were kind and generous with your time, and you made me feel relaxed about the application process. I am glad that I did choose to go with you because you and Frieda really did a great job. I will definitely recommend your law practice to friends and colleagues who are considering a green card application.
--J.D.
NOTE: J.D. obtained U.S. Permanent Residence status as an EB-1 Outstanding Research Scientist just two months after we filed the case.
Just a quick note to say thanks for your email of congrats! Truly appreciate your support as we embark on this new venture. NONE of this would have been possible without YOUR help! Hope you are having a great long weekend...

Ratings for Ms. Cohen's Lectures to Other Lawyers on Immigration Topics
Great class and overview of P-1, O-1 and EB-1 process. Wonderful.
This was a very good and effect presentation, well worth the time I invested.
Informative presentation
Interesting program, I would certainly recommend. She knows her stuff and gives a good overview of the law and practice tips, well worth the hour.
A good course for potential representatives of agents
Very well done!!
Great job!
Very informative for a subject that I knew only a little about before.
Good subject primer. In addition to sound practice insights, it will make watching US-based international sporting contests more interesting for attorneys.
