From Our Immigration Clients

I picked Siri & Glimstad because they were the most professional of all the firms I contacted to help me with my permanent resident application. I still think it was the best choice. Christina and Yesennia led me through the whole process. They were detail oriented and went out of their way to help with my vaccine exemption letter I had to submit. I ended up getting the Green Card 3.5 months after they submitted the application for me.

I highly recommend Siri & Glimstad! I worked with attorney Xenides and her team. It was an amazing and awesome journey. I'm deeply grateful to her, she's extremely professional and dedicated to cases, prompt to respond and provides clear information. With her great help, my case got approved very fast.

They have a highly efficient team and assist you with all your questions! I highly recommend them. Thank you Christina, Samantha, Paulina and Rocio I really appreciated your help!

Another firm discouraged me when applying for a green card, telling me it would be impossible for a religious waiver. I felt doomed until I found Siri & Glimstad. They helped me write the waiver, answered all my questions and supported me through the entire process. I just got my green card and I really recommend Siri & Glimstad. They are the opposite of any bad stereotypes about lawyers. I'm so glad to have hired them!

I am infinitely grateful to Siri & Glimstad for their help with my Green Card application with vaccine exemption. Christina and Yesennia worked very fast, responded to all my questions in a matter of hours, and were attentive and. We started working on gathering documents at the end of October 2022, and my Green Card was approved in July 2023 without any interviews! This is remarkable! Thank you for your professionalism and dedication!

Siri & Glimstad were a Godsend. My green card lawyer had no experience with vaccine waivers, so in a desperate time crunch, I found S&G. They guided me through the process with very clear instructions, answered all the questions I had, were extremely meticulous, attentive and even pro-active, following up with me. The preparation for the interview covered every possible aspect of what one could expect. I'm very grateful to have had these professionals' help.

Big thanks to Christina and Paulina with their help on our 601 applications. They successfully assisted us in getting a positive result and would recommend using their services.

Such a weight lifted off our shoulders. I highly recommend working with Siri & Glimstad!

It was a privilege to work with Christina and Paulina who helped me through a rather complex legal process. They helped to simplify it and when I got stuck they quickly responded with the answers. I loved that they stayed in communication with me at all times. And best of all is that I got a positive outcome from the legal process that was being addressed. Yay!! Thank you ladies!

I came to Christina after receiving a request for evidence and being deemed inadmissible for not getting a couple vaccines. She made it easy. In less than a month my permanent resident status was approved! I now have my green card after being in the country for 13 years! Christina was a godsend and I’m so happy I found her and her team, I wouldn’t have my green card if it wasn’t for them. Forever grateful!

I’m deeply grateful to and appreciate attorney Xenides and her wonderful team’s help. My I-601 and green card got approved and much faster than expected…it only took 3 months. Attorney Xenides is very professional, kind, understanding and dedicated during the entire process.

I had the Blessing of having Christina Xenides as my attorney in obtaining the permanent residency ( Green Card ) .  Christina and her partner Yesennia Esperanza were so professional from the beginning and fast in answer all the questions I had through the process. She also helped me obtain my waiver for vaccination along with the permanent residency. Words can not express my gratitude for them.

Such a great firm to work with! I ran into some complications with my green card application with another law firm once I found out I needed to take certain vaccines to even apply.

I wanted to get permanent residency in the US to live with my wife and children. I did not want to take a covid vaccine and our attorney Christina helped us legally get my permanent residency while staying honest about our vaccine status. We are over the moon with the service we have received.

My wife and I have been working with Siri & Glimstad on the I-601 Vaccination Waiver as a supplement to our Adjustment of Status (Green Card) application. Christina Xenides and her team were simply the best, very professional (timely and responsive), as well as empathetic. Her experience with the vaccine waiver was seen by her thorough high-quality work through the whole process. Going forward, I’ll be working with Siri & Glimstad (Christina and her team) for all my immigration needs.

My case was difficult. I asked for religious waiver I-601. I had a rude immigration officer who said he intended to deny me. But attorney Christina answered them properly and my case was approved shortly. I have used many attorneys so far on my long immigration journey, and this one is only one I am satisfied with. All recommendations. Now I can finally visit my family in Europe. Thank you, I am grateful.

Siri & Glimstad has an amazing team. Attorney Xenides and Paralegal Esparza, they were great, professional, quick to respond, very helpful. We can't say enough good things about them. We definitely recommend them to anyone in need of their expertise.

We are grateful to Christina, who was willing to explain every single step of the process. We also want to give special thanks to Rocio, who paid close attention to every detail and made everything so much easier for us. Her constant support, follow-up calls, and attention to detail gave us great peace of mind at every stage. In our USCIS interview the officer mentioned that our attorneys had done an excellent job. We would 100% choose the firm again for any future immigration processes.

We used Christina Xenides and Paulina Hermosillo for our 601 religious exemption. They were very understanding, knowledgeable, thorough and swift in regards to getting our application in to US Customs. It was approved and turned around in 3 months. I would recommend these ladies and Siri to anyone looking for exemption help.

Thanks to Christina Xenides and Yesennia Esparza, I was able to successfully obtain my green card with an approved I-601 Vaccine Waiver.

They where very professional, efficient and supportive throughout the process and would highly recommend them to assist you on your immigration journey.

I contracted with Siri & Glimstad to manage the immigration paperwork to attain a Green Card for my mother. The vaccine religious exemption process had very specific dos and don'ts and Ms. Xenides and her paralegal, Yesennia Esparza were very helpful, knowledgeable and kept us on track with our paperwork and answered all our questions very promptly. My mother has her Green Card now.

You and your team were always responsive, clear, supportive and kind. You exceeded my expectations!! I'm so glad I saw you in a national newspaper and kept your info to be used when I needed it. Thanks again!

I am beyond thankful for the help that Christina and her team provided. My husband was applying for his greencard and our lawyer who was helping him with DACA for years didn’t have any confidence in the vaccine waiver. She suggested he simply get the vaccines and that would be the easiest path towards a greencard. I reached out to Siri Glimstad and they immediately helped us apply for the waiver and he officially got his greencard with no complications.

We are beyond grateful to the Siri Glimstad team. Our case involved vaccine-related waivers and had been stuck in limbo for months. Our lawyers developed a clear, strategic plan that helped reopen our I-485s, move our files to the correct field office, and ensure everything was properly linked and adjudicated. If you're facing a complicated I-601 or waiver-related issue, this is the team you want in your corner. We can’t recommend them highly enough.

Siri & Glimstad were so accommodating for my very very quick turn around due date. Samantha was very responsive, connected, and I felt very taken care of by her and the team. The firm is very knowledgeable and I definitely recommend this firm for your needs.

They literally saved my family from being separated and saved me from a very stressful situation. I consider myself very lucky to have found Siri & Glimstad and had Samantha and Paulina as my representatives. I 100% recommend them and am forever grateful for all they did for me and my family.

I'm very thankful to God for you Christina and Yesennia, you were the only ones that were willing to help us to apply for residency and for the religious waiver for vaccines. You helped us and guided us the whole process from across the country, we never met in person and to be honest that was a concern. But we trusted God, everything worked out great our paperwork was filed in August and we recieved our Green cards in December. YOU ARE THE BEST THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I work with a Baltimore immigration attorney?

Immigration matters often involve detailed paperwork, strict deadlines, and case-specific legal issues that can be difficult to manage alone. A Baltimore immigration attorney can help you understand the process, prepare a stronger filing, and respond appropriately if complications arise.

Can a Baltimore immigration lawyer help with marriage-based immigration cases?

Yes. We help Baltimore clients with marriage-based and other family-based immigration matters, including petitions, adjustment applications, consular processing issues, and related documentation. Careful preparation is especially important in these cases, and we work to help clients present complete and well-supported filings.

How should I prepare when speaking with a Baltimore immigration lawyer?

It is helpful to bring any immigration notices, prior applications, government correspondence, identification documents, travel records, court papers if applicable, and any other records connected to your case. The more information available at the outset, the better we can evaluate your situation and identify possible next steps.

Can a Baltimore immigration attorney help if my application was denied?

Yes. A denial does not always mean that you are out of options. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to refile, submit additional evidence, pursue a waiver, appeal, or take other corrective action. Our Baltimore immigration attorneys review the details of the denial and help determine the most practical path forward.

Do I need to be located in downtown Baltimore to work with your firm?

No. We assist clients throughout Baltimore and the entire state of Maryland. Immigration cases are often document-driven, and much of the process can be handled efficiently through organized communication, careful preparation, and ongoing legal guidance without requiring constant in-person meetings.
