You could not possibly imagine a better immigration lawyer than Len Saunders. My case was a bit complicated, so I carefully weighed the alternatives - other lawyers, paralegal companies, Reddit and Visa Journey support groups. Len stood out from the beginning because of his experience and extensive public record as an advocate and problem solver. His price was quite reasonable for the quality of support we received. During our 2-year process of obtaining a spousal immigration visa while my US-citizen spouse and I were living in Canada, he and his paralegal, Pavan, were incredibly efficient at filing all the necessary paperwork and preparing us for the next steps. Len was available to answer questions on short notice. He responded to texts and phone calls within minutes. If an important milestone or change came up, he reached out to us before we had time to think about it. We live just across the Canadian border from his office, so he encouraged us to drop by for check-ins regularly. In addition to his legal expertise, he is an entertaining conversationalist and a great coach. When our spirits were lagging, he was always able keep us optimistic with witty anecdotes and practical advice. By contrast, when I looked at the self-help community support groups, a majority of the posters were experiencing anxiety and frustration and delays because of mistakes in paperwork or wrong assumptions about their situations. Len took care of us with endless patience and expertise. He thoroughly prepared me for my interview at the US Consulate in Montreal and accurately predicted how it would unfold. When our case was approved, he was as happy as we were. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Leonard D.M. Saunders of Blaine Immigration Law Firm saved my life! After spending 12 years in the San Francisco Bay Area attending school and working as a Canadian thinking I was following all the rules around student & work visas correctly, I was detained at customs in LAX on my way back from Europe for 24 hrs and deported with none of my belongings back to my childhood home of Edmonton, Alberta with a 5 year ban. I had to quit my job, abandon a home and all belongings and left behind my now husband and 3 step-children. I had NO idea what type of lawyer to contact or how to sift through the hundreds of pages of google searches directing me to bogus services or shiesty lawyers. It was absolute fate that brought Len into our lives when we received a recommendation from a random traveler in Mexico who shared his own story of victory around the same type of situation and how his immigration lawyer, Len saved the day. We contacted Len at Blaine Immigration Law Firm as soon as we could and the rest is history. Like family he took our hand (Literally, he was shuttling us back and forth across the border!) and guided us through the whole process and ultimately I returned home in less than 2 years, married, with a new baby, reunited with my family and professional journey and about to get my US citizenship. You would think this would have bankrupted me, but I never felt for one moment I was going to be taken advantage of. If anything we feel so indebted to Len for his services, empathy, knowledge, professionalism, and warm heart. If you are in this type of situation, please, give Len a call now! read more

I absolutely, positively recommend Len Saunders of Blaine Immigration. I moved from Vancouver BC a few years ago, obtaining TN status on my own and re-establishing my professional career in Seattle. After marrying and buying a home, I attempted the immigration process on my own, without a lawyer.  After getting stumped by changes to the document submission process and encountering significant delays at the NVC, I realized that my own handling of the immigration process was a formidable mistake. I reached out to several Seattle lawyers that I found on Yelp. They all declined my case, citing that they didn't take on cases where the process had advanced to this stage, and were "in trouble". I was lost and overcome by the impending doom of losing my work authorization, my job and income source, and jeapordizing my family financially. I emailed Len Saunders on the recommendation of another Canadian green card holder. He called me back within 30 minutes, and educated me about options that would allow me to carry on working legally in the US while waiting for my interview. This help saved me from a disastrous situation where I would have to leave the US.  He told me that I could contact him whenever I had questions. The rest of the process proceeded with step-by-step advice and hand-holding from Len. It took the stress away, which is worth more than what money can by. He met me before my interview to review my info packet, to make sure I had the correct documents. He advised on which flight to take to Montreal, where to stay to be close to the new consulate location, and what proof of bona fide marriage to bring. He gave us his cell phone and informed us to call from Montreal whatever the issue encountered ("nevermind the time difference!"). He wanted to know right away if the interview had issues and help resolve them immediately. If I were to turn back time, I would have hired Len at the outset. Because he is an lawyer who is "on the pulse", and clearly cares about his clients and his work.  He knows the latest, the minutiae, and is an expert among immigration lawyers when it comes to Canadians immigrating to the US. read more
