My experience with Attorney Pia has been incredible. She is compassionate, detailed with the process and provides unwavering support every step of the way. After only a short time of five months, I received my permanent residency card and the attorney informed me right away and shared the joy in this momentous celebration. It is my absolute pleasure to write this review and I look forward to working with her in the future. read more

I've been working with Pia & the Lewis law group for over 6 years now. Pia has helped me secured 2 O-1 artist visas and recently just helped me get my EB-1/Green Card approved. If you ask anyone who is currently going through or went through the US visa process, most would tell you that it's an extremely stressful and difficult journey, Pia & The Lewis law group made this journey much easier for me. From all the immigration lawyers I've spoken to, the Lewis law group has the most reasonable prices I've seen. A lot of these other immigration attorneys I've seen discourage you from even applying for these visas, claiming you do not have enough evidence or enough achievements to back up your case, which to me is just their way of saying they don't want to try, and afraid it would hurt their approval rates. Pia is upfront and honest about what you present to her, and she will do her best to help you secure your approval. My first O1 visa I was only 21 years old, and barely had any work experience or achievements, but she was able to help me get the approval. Whether it's via email, in person meetings or even texts during weekends & holidays, Pia goes above and beyond to answer any questions you may have. I'm extremely thankful to have worked with an immigration attorney who values her clients as more than just another applicant. In a time where immigrants already feel like outsiders, it's truly incredible to have an attorney who you know is on your side! read more

Just got my Green Card! Attorney Pia has guided me throughout my immigration journey over the past years. I first started working with her when I was an international film student on my OPT. Since then, she has helped me get my O-1B, then my EB-1, and most recently my Green Card. MY HIGHLIGHTS: - Pia knows immigration very well and was great at designing a personalized strategy for me based on current events in US politics. - All my documents remained organized and categorized accordingly. - Important application documents were sent to me for review before submission. She also has a team that double checks if everything is correct and complete. - One huge strength is her ability to remain calm under pressure. As an applicant, this entire immigration process can make you so anxious, and legal language (especially for RFEs) can get so confusing. If you get an RFE, stay calm! Pia is able to break things down and tell you exactly what you need. I once got an RFE over something silly like font size or whatever. The government tends to ding these random details, which is normal. Pia will help you sort these out immediately. I agree with all the existing positive reviews. I feel bad for that one negative review from years ago because that was not my experience with Pia at all. I can't emphasize this enough: PIA KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING. Overall, I highly recommend Attorney Pia. I will continue recommending her to all my fellow artists, and I can't wait to work with her again in the future for my citizenship! read more

Pia is an AMAZING immigration lawyer! I was so nervous and apprehensive going in to seek my O1 visa, but Pia dissuaded my fears right away. She was very optimistic and immediately pitched ideas on how to make my case work. Due to COVID and other extraneous circumstances, we faced bumps on the case, but Pia NEVER gave up, even when I myself felt so close to doing so. She truly believes in your case, and makes YOU believe in it too. As a highly anxious person, I felt very comforted by Pia's approach. She provides you with her contact number, and is available to text and even call all the time: be it night, weekends or even when she's on a holiday. That's how dedicated she is to the case! I am truly grateful for Pia for not only winning me my case, but also being such a source of personal support during this time! When things didn't seem to be working out, she came up with new ideas on how to make the case work, and they DID WORK! So I truly recommend Pia and her team at Lewis Law Group. read more

Green Card is now approved. All of what I said in my previous review is still true. Thanks Ms. Pia and Lewis Law Group APLC!

I have had a very unfortunate experience with Pia Dyquiangco and the Lewis Law Group, whose poor representation in my O-1 case had cost me thousands of dollars and an incredibly aggressive denial from the USCIS. I have consulted 7 lawyers after the denial, and most have told me they don't see how I can get an O-1 now after such a horrible misrepresentation. I was lucky enough to file a new petition with a new lawyer afterwards, and was approved within 7 days after filing without even getting an RFE. This also speaks a lot of how horrible of a job The Lewis Law Group and Pia Dyquiangco have done. Good: - Good record of approved cases for O-1 visas - Relatively cheap - Looks like a fair deal: pay a portion of the fee when you sign the contract, and the other portion when the case is approved. - Willing to schedule regular phone appointments - Very nice people on a personal level Bad (minor): - Text mistakes - Misspelled names - Sometimes unreachable by email and phone - Late with scheduled calls - Late with documents Bad (major) - The internet printouts serving as the evidence for my employers and projects were messy, unnumbered, with web advertisements and user comments getting in the way of text (no surprise the officer wasn't happy looking at those) - For certain evidence materials, she made printouts from Wikipedia and my official website!, which USCIS is officially considering as insufficient (and states it in their regulations) - Didn't give an estimate for the future filing and printing fees, not written in the contract (cost me around $800) The Disgustingly Unforgivable: - Put me in the wrong, very narrow category of my expertise. Because of that, more than half of my employment and accomplishments were disregarded by the USCIS - Diminished my critical role by calling me a composer's assistant, instead of orchestrator and composer of additional music, which has undermined my critical role in several very important projects - Promised to send 2 union letters out to USCIS to support the petition (which were crucial) - one came in late, the other one was never sent, even though I kept reminding again and again - Didn't do a thorough check of the documents and letters prepared by me. - Didn't explain that the recommendation letters have to come from independent experts. AND, didn't tell me anything till the very end. USCIS officer eventually was the one to say: "This just doesn't count, sorry". - Approved and sent out plenty of weak and counterproductive materials, such as certain media about me and certain letters, which eventually dragged the whole petition down - Didn't provide sufficient evidence of my critical role or even slight participation in projects that were presented in the petition. Moreover, convinced me that what we had was enough. (well, that wasn't right in the end). In fact, there were plenty of materials prepared and submitted that "fell outside of the prescribed forms of evidence". - Didn't use some key things that were later used by my new lawyer, which eventually helped the new petition to be approved - When the RFE came, suggested to get more media coverage and send that in. As explained to me by several lawyers who I have consulted with afterwards, there is a direct regulation that states that "the evidence submitted as response for the RFE must establish eligibility at the time of the original filing (original petition)", which alone can count as a disqualification. - Didn't explain the consequences of being denied the petition, such as that the person will start acquiring the unlawful presence and has to leave the country asap (this is exactly what I had to do after my petition was denied). read more
