Tony Olson: not just a talented immigration attorney, but also a strong supporter of his clients!

The first time I started to plan for my immigration process to the US, I realized the importance of hiring a good, accomplished and honest immigration attorney. I didn't want to do it myself because a very small mistake could delay my case for several months or even put an end to it. Therefore I was confident that I needed a lawyer, but I was completely clueless as to whom I could trust. The fact that I was going to put my future, my money, and my hopes in the hands of a stranger was disturbing and out of my comfort zone. I came up with four criteria for my lawyer selection. Firstly, I would nominate an attorney who discusses my immigration case with me thoroughly and patiently. Secondly, he would let me choose my EB5 Regional Center. Thirdly, my lawyer should be capable of examining my choice of investment and evaluating my chance to get the immigration approval. Finally, my lawyer should take my side and support me during my negotiation with the Regional Center. I am proud to say that I made the right choice by hiring Mr. Tony Olson and his team for my case after I was convinced that he met all my criteria. Tony proved to me his sincerity, skills, and precision through all the stages from the initial negotiation with my EB5 Regional Center to the preparation for my interview at the US Embassy in Abu Dhabi. I never forget my phone call with him before my US Embassy interview and the final advices he gave me which made me confident about my interview. Tony completed my I-526 petition form with the utmost precision and helped prepare my supporting document and the verification about the source of my capital with unfailing accuracy. Tony clearly explained to me his approach for any possible problems that may complicate my petition, such as the age of my son who was close to be 21 years old. He handled my case such that I have always felt like it was his number one priority. My phone calls and emails were always promptly responded without any exception. My questions have been answered clearly and timely. I'll never forget about the positive comments I received from the immigration officer at the US Embassy in Abu Dhabi about how complete my file was. My family and I have smoothly settled down in the US and Tony and his team are taking care of the I-829 petition and removing the condition from my Green Card. At the end, Tony made me feel welcome to the US. My main concern for writing this testimonial is to help my fellow Iranian citizens. I know how difficult it is to save enough money to apply for an EB5 immigration visa and pass all the stages of this complicated immigration process. I feel responsible to share my successful experience in working with Tony. Immigration to the US with my family has many uncertainties but thanks to Tony, I have one less worry to think about, and that is my immigration case with USCIS. Tony is and will be my only attorney choice for any legal case, and a sincere friend who I trust for all the advices that a new immigrant to the US needs to know.

Majid Poshtan (An Iranian EB-5 immigrant to the U.S.)

A new beginning to life in USA: How Anthony Olson made it possible.

My family and I have been thinking about beginning a new life in America for a few years and decided that EB-5 would be the best route for us to accomplish this dream. My wife and me wanted to give our son a good quality life and better education options. With various Regional Centers offering EB-5 immigration opportunities, we wouldn’t be aware of their successes through the information available on the Internet. It was a difficult task to shortlist a few Regional Centers for our investment. Our search continued and we also needed to have an Immigration Attorney who would understand our case and present it right. He should also have strong credentials and we would depend completely on him and entrust him of our entire planned America move. I was referred various Immigration Attorneys and I did contact most of them. Some didn’t have enough experience even though they were contactable and some were too large an entity and reaching out to them or their associates was a challenge and go get a response from them was a bigger challenge. My initial mode of contact to most Attorneys was though email and Anthony Olson (Tony) was prompt to reply on my various queries. He also gave me a rough guide into EB5 Investor Program, which highlighted various criteria to consider before investing a good Regional Center. I did share with him the shortlisted Regional Centers I planned to invest in. He shared with me the strengths and weaknesses of the two shortlisted and did recommend what would be the right project for me solely on the perspective of immigration and likelihood of success for immigration. He did stress especially on the job creation part of a Regional Center, as this is a crucial factor for the removal of conditions to attain permanent residency. Subsequent to his mails, he called me up and patiently explained to me on various aspects and factors regarding the investment and immigration process. This gesture became the deciding factor to retain him as an Immigration Attorney as I felt a strong connect with him. I felt assured that he understands my needs and requirements and he has strong sense of dependability for a very important life changing decision of my life. Tony worked closely with me to understand my case to prepare my petition and all the while, he was just a phone call away or an email away. I traveled to US for business during that time and I made it a point to meet him at Sarasota. It was an absolute pleasure to meet him and his colleague Paul Marchon-Arnaud. It was very reassuring to know that I made a right decision of them handling my case and they are great people. Absolutely warm, cordial, understanding and patient. Most matters were discussed in person and the petition was filed before I left US. Coming from a country where matters are not as straight forward and simple, Paul and Tony took good time and patiently understood various facets of my businesses. They did communicate with me often to understand various details and all the interactions were simple and cordial. My petition was approved and the next step was the Interview at the Consulate. As always, Tony sent me a detailed email for preparation of this interview. I did schedule a phone call and Tony did clarify my doubts and questions on this process. Our immigrant visas were approved and we made our US move in under two years from my Investment. I owe complete credit to him for the approval of our petition, granting of our visas and this move and a new beginning to our life. This is a life changing moment, which my family and I will never forget. Tony made me realize my dream and it’s a feeling that I cannot describe in words. He probably doesn’t know the impact of how his help has changed our life and this means the world to us. Thank you very much Tony. God bless you and your beloved family. We also wish him and his efficient team all the very best for greater successes in coming times.

Mitesh Patel (An Indian EB-5 immigrant to the U.S.)

Tony and his team are simply the best at what they do.

When we began exploring about applying for an EB5 visa, we had to read up on how to do it the best way. So we looked for the most stable regional center and the best lawyer, and Tony was the top recommendation. He was very logical, process oriented, detailed, and he cared for his clients. When we were starting out, we went personally to his office in Florida to meet him and we felt comfortable right away after talking to him. Considering we were a blended family, he knew how to handle our individual concerns and also our case as an entire family unit. We appreciated his sound advice and the fact that he always offered alternatives and solutions. He is a master at immigration law and he is straightforward with the merits and demerits of each case. Something that is very valuable when you are applying for EB5. Our family is lucky to have him as our lawyer and we would not go with anyone else. If you want to have the opportunity to change your life and have a good partner to help you do it, Tony Olson and his team will be the best partners that you will find. He has done wonders for us and made the process easy and very understandable. His transparency, timely response and his genuine care and concern for each client is something that definitely sets him and his team apart from the rest.

J.J.H. and P.H. (Filipino EB-5 Immigrants to the U.S.)

Tony and his team are one of the best in the nation.

Tony and his team are one of the best in the nation. In a world with "very busy" lawyers who have little time for you, Tony and the team work extremely hard to make sure all questions are answered and all concerns are addressed. They are responsive, thoughtful and are always happy to go the extra mile. Compared to other big law firms, I believe Tony's boutique office environment provide the important personal touch I need. The team never treats me as just another "client" but truly care for my needs and my non-stop questions. Tony and the team is truly top notch.

I hope that your law firm grows larger each year and assists more immigrants to pursue a better life in the U.S.!

It has been exactly one year since I obtained my conditional green card. Although my husband and I moved and are currently residing in Seattle, we still want to thank you a lot for the tremendous work that you and your team did for my immigration case! You always gave us the best advice, service and personal attention during the time when my husband, Bernard, and I asked for your help to apply for my conditional green card. I obtained my green card thanks to your professionalism. The green card itself is not so important to me as the peace of mind that it gives me and my husband to begin our life together in the U.S. without fear of being separated from one another due to immigration complications. And peace of mind is such an important element in life! So, I appreciate all your help! Thank you for your endless efforts, and we are fortunate to find you from among the many other immigration law firms.

I would like to thank you very much for your efforts and as a lawyer myself would certainly commend you on your meticulous and thorough approach.

I would just like to thank you very much for the efforts in helping us get our EB5 Visa approved. I must say that I always said to my wife that I could not see any problems with the paperwork, because even as a lawyer, I thought you were ridiculously thorough! The Embassy complained about the size of the paperwork, saying it was a huge file but you cannot go wrong when you put it all together thoroughly and the questions you asked as well as all the problems you gave me about the paperwork made sure that the job was done properly and that there were no problems when it came to the actual approval.

M.D. (A South African EB-5 Immigrant to the U.S.)

Thanks to you never giving up, never wanting to do anything questionable, and always working with our best interests in mind, you helped us every step of the way.

It has been almost exactly three years that we have received our green card and time for us to thank you for all the work you've done for us.

We started out in 2002 to prepare for our investor visa and to start the corporation. Even though we didn't have the strongest case for that visa in 2003, you presented it in such a convincing way and impressed the Consul in Frankfurt, and so we got our first E-2 visa without problems. In 2008, the E-2 visa renewal through the consulate in Germany was not an option for us, and again, you had a solution. This time, USCIS in California extended our status because of your perfect presentation of our case.

During the entire time, we were working with you to obtain our permanent residency, which turned out to have been the greatest challenge of all and for us almost impossible. Thanks to you never giving up, never wanting to do anything questionable, and always working with our best interest s in mind, you helped us every step of the way. Alabama Department of Labor, Federal Department of Labor, USCIS, U.S. State Department , and every other government agency that stood in our way, you worked through all of them to finally get us our Permanent Resident Card.

We truly appreciate everything you've done for us. We are now looking forward to working with you to apply for our citizenship! You are a wonderful Attorney and person!!

Bettina and Remo (German E-2 investors now with permanent residence)

It is my great pleasure to recommend Tony Olson as an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) visa specialist.

It is my great pleasure to recommend Tony Olson as an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) visa specialist.  My petition was approved seven days after it was submitted with no requests for further information.

I credit the resounding success of my application to Tony’s absolute thoroughness, attention to detail, and relentless commitment to “getting it right the first time" thereby avoiding lengthy delays in requests for further information.

One of Tony’s most valuable strengths is his ability to see how information can be moulded to fit into various categories and making sure it is presented in a clear and compelling manner. His inspiring strategy of going above and beyond the standard requirements ensured success from every angle.  He always makes sure he has plenty of backup!

Above all though, I was impressed with Tony’s personal operating style. Not only is he refreshingly approachable and authentic, but Tony is someone who is genuinely interested in people.  His team approach resulted in a wonderful boutique experience where I always felt valued as a client and never as though I was "on the clock".

In today’s busy world, Tony is a rare gem - a gracious and sincere man who will take whatever time is necessary to get the job done right.   In my books, Tony is an immigration lawyer of Extraordinary Ability!

K.P.C. (a Mexican immigrant through the EB-5 Program)

We were looking for a German speaking lawyer for our emigration to the USA and found the best one in Anthony Olson from Sarasota/Florida.

After we decided to emigrate to the USA to live close to our son and his family, we realized that we would not be able to handle this huge mountain of paperwork of several application forms and immigration visa requirements on our own. So we went in search of a lawyer who was familiar with this matter and spoke our language.

After a short search on the net we found the law office of Anthony Olson and are still very grateful for that.

After the first e-mail, which was very informative, detailed, professional and extremely friendly, we arranged to meet for the next time by video call, which worked out great.

We received competent answers to all our questions and nothing was ever dismissed or glossed over our plans. We were always informed correctly and friendly about every step of our application up to the approval of the immigration. We had absolute 100% confidence in Anthony and his team. He gave us a very high level of security, humanity and competence.

At any time and without ifs and buts we recommend Anthony and his team when it comes to immigration to the USA.

Our dream and wish to live close to our son and grandchildren has come true without complications and in a very short time - THANK YOU ANTHONY OLSON.

His humanity, sincerity and loyalty makes Him a very special person. Unfortunately, one rarely finds such a person nowadays.

GOD Blessing and a big thank you from the bottom of my heart to Anthony and his great team.

Karl and Verena Schuler from Switzerland

From this experience, I can only urge you to retain a proper U.S. immigration attorney, and that attorney should be Anthony Olson!

Now after having lived in the U.S. since over a year, I would really like to say that it was really worth it to move to the U.S. I am enjoying not only the wonderulf weather, but also the American lifestyle! I would like to offer a roadmap to success for everyone who would like to apply for the green card.

The most important step on the route to the green card is to retain an attorney who is truly specialized in immigration law. I retained an attorney in Germany, but the two applications that she prepared were both denied. With those denials, my American Dream was over.

Then, I received a tip from a friend that I should retain an immigration attorney who actually practices in the U.S., and the attorney to whom he referred me was Anthony Olson. I contacted Anthony Olson, and I found it very helpful that he also speaks German perfectly. This was extremely helpful for discussing complex details of my case.

Mr. Olson took on my case and noticed immediately that my Attorney in Germany had pursued a completely wrong strategy. Mr. Olson, on the other hand, prepared my case in an extremely meticulous manner, which ultimately led to the success of my green card process. From this experience, I can only urge you to retain a proper U.S. immigration attorney, and that attorney should be Anthony Olson!

Anthony Olson, P.A. kept me from getting thrown out of the U.S. after my marriage with a U.S. citizen failed.

In my opinion, this law practice was built by a kind and decent man, Anthony Olson, who is also a lawyer. I was in a real predicament, it was time to apply to remove the conditions from my conditional permanent residence, but my marriage with my U.S. citizen wife was broken, and she was threatening to have me thrown out of the U.S. I called and talked to Anthony Olson directly late on a Friday afternoon. Anthony assessed my situation and told me to come in immediately with my paperwork. I arrived to his office after closing hours, and yet he spent the evening there working with me until after 9:00pm, photocopying my paperwork and listening to the details of how my marriage went wrong, and figuring out what evidence of good-faith marriage I had, and what evidence I should still gather. He wanted to know every detail and I was able to trust him 100%. He was very patient and understanding of how worried I was about my situation, and he never once rushed me to get me out of his office so that he could go home and relax. He believed my story and for that reason alone, he helped me. A huge weight was lifted from me that night.

It was a difficult road ahead due to the short duration of the marriage and the conditions needed to be waived. His team pressed forward, and his paralegal, Renate, left no stone unturned. Anthony and Renate answered all my questions as they came up, and were totally on top of my case from day one. We were all bracing for what could have been a tough, fact finding immigration interview. Anthony offered to join me in the interview if I felt I needed his support. I think that due to the Olson’s team’s guidance, step-by-step instructions, attention to detail, which included Anthony going over every page before assembling my final file, I was never called into immigration for an interview, and all conditions were waived. I got my 10-year green card.

So, let’s face the facts: U.S. Immigration is run by some very smart people, smart people appreciate honesty and integrity in the people with whom they are dealing. Anthony Olson is a successful man and lawyer because he cares about people and he is a careful, case-building professional who walks a straight line.

Thanks again to the team at Anthony Olson, P.A., Immigration Law Firm!

My wife and I are French and always dreamed of becoming U.S. citizens. We contacted Anthony Olson a few years ago and started a visa application. Anthony and his crew have been absolutely amazing and helped us continuously throughout the years. Today, my wife and I are U.S. citizens and we enjoy our American life, we couldn't have made it without Olson Immigration Law Firm!

Jonathan Cauvin

If you are looking for an immigration attorney, in my opinion, there is nobody better!

My wife and I used Anthony Olson for our P and O visas into the USA, and again over the years with transitions to new employers. Then again recently for our green card application. I highly recommend this immigration law firm! Tony helped my family out tremendously and succeeded for us after a “big name” law firm let us down. If you are looking for an immigration attorney, in my opinion, there is nobody better!

Andrew Fox

We have received our conditional green card mainly because of the efficient handling of the process by Tony and his team.

We started to explore our immigration options and found Mr. Anthony Olson (Tony) from the online forums. Later we approached Tony for a one-on-one discussion wherein he thoroughly explained the complete process and extensive documentation needed for EB5 green card. His team member Elise Chan is very efficient and fast at communication.

Their fee structure is reasonable and transparent. We never had to pay anything more than what was stated while signing the contract even though Tony and his team spent a good amount of time over phone, emails, research etc. needed for some special situations of our case.

We have received our conditional green card mainly because of the efficient handling of the process by Tony and his team.

Many thanks to Anthony Olson P.A Immigration Law Firm!

Santhi Mani

I'm proud to count myself among your very first clients and will always be grateful for the excellent services you have provided my family and me ever since.

Congrats on your work anniversary Tony! How time flies! I'm proud to count myself among your very first clients and will always be grateful for the excellent services you have provided my family and me ever since. Here's to (at least) 17 more years of increasing success!

Kenneth Fonderson

If you are in need of legal immigration advice, I would highly recommend Mr. Olson's firm.

Mr. Olson and his paralegal, Renate Richter, are the best!

They guided my wife's 'change of status' petition successfully through a very complex immigration system.

Mr. Olson's fees were very reasonable and when extra effort was needed, we were not 'nickeled and dimed'.

For example, on Labor Day weekend, Mr.Olson prepared and submitted a 46-page rebuttal brief to the U.S. Consulate that led to the resolution of our case.

Mr. Olson and Ms. Richter were always very responsive to any e-mail inquiries that we had. Always approachable, even for in-person consultation.

Mr. Olson is passionate about the service that he provides ....and compassionate. As a team, they are very thorough and competent with a keen knowledge of navigating the complexities of contemporary immigration. Plus, they are very likeable!

If you are in need of legal immigration advice, I would highly recommend Mr. Olson's firm.

Tony Olson went above and beyond to get my naturalization approved!

I highly recommend Tony Olson as an immigration lawyer based on his outstanding support of my application for US citizenship. I sought his help because I was worried about not being able to satisfy all the procedural requirements. Tony gave me the very essential assistance to go through with the procedure on this important day. His support staff is also very compassionate and effective in handling all the details. They were very prompt and courteous in answering all my questions. Tony came with me to my Homeland Security interview. His presence made me feel more comfortable and confident because he explained everything about the interview process. He is a kind and professional individual. Thanks to Tony, my first application was approved. I am glad to have you as my immigration lawyer.
