Testimonials

“Kelsi was amazing. In one word–persistent. There are so many pitfalls and hang ups in the immigration process, and for the lay person, you can easily feel defeated. However, Kelsi has seen it all and pushed past it. She’s a wonderful advocate, a sympathetic ear, and I really don’t think I could have got my husband back without her assistance.”

“She was like a breath of fresh air to our situation. Trying to bring our family together seemed literally impossible until I spoke to Kelsi. She made me feel calm and comfortable. After speaking with her I know everything will finally work out with the visa and immigrating my fiancé to the states. If we need anything else during this process she will be who we call!!”

“I have been Kelsi Cottle’s client for almost 4 years now and I have referred to her anyone that needs help with any immigration issue. Kelsi helped me to obtain my permanent residency here so I could be with the love of my life! She was amazing to work with and is very professional and so friendly! You feel like you’re sitting down with a friend. She helped us through the entire process and made it so easy and smooth. I would highly recommend Kelsi to anyone and everyone. My husband and I are so grateful for her help and taking the time to make sure everything was perfect and right the first time. You don’t get this kind of warm and friendly service just anywhere :)”
