Facing an EB1A RFE after other lawyers had written off my case was daunting. Then I found AB Legal Consult. From the first conversation with Principal Attorney Akosua Owusu Banahene, I knew I was in different hands. They were professional, honest, knowledgeable and kept an open communication.
AB Legal Consult didn't just handle my case; they owned it. They approached my seemingly "lost" petition with a fresh, strategic perspective. The principal Attorney, Lawyer Akosua Banahene expertly crafted a compelling new narrative for my application, backed by robust and objective evidence. Their approach was nothing short of transformative. They meticulously deconstructed and then reconstructed my petition, building an ironclad case with powerful and objective case. What truly set them apart was their commitment to partnership. They were remarkably responsive, maintained complete transparency, and valued my input every step of the way.
I am now proud to say my EB1A petition was approved, a testament to AB Legal Consult expertise and dedication. While I regret not starting my journey with them, I am eternally grateful I finished it with them. I wholeheartedly recommend and highly endorse AB Legal Consult for all immigration needs including EB2-W, EB1A, O-1, B1/B2 etc. Thank you for your hard work and for delivering a life-changing result. Keep upholding this incredible standard of excellence. - AMOH TONTOH

I had the privilege of working with Akosua on an EB-1 visa application, and I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism, expertise, and dedication throughout the entire process.

From the initial consultation, Akosua demonstrated a deep understanding of the EB-1 category and laid out a clear strategy that aligned perfectly with my career background.

She was meticulous in reviewing the credentials, guiding me through the documentation process, and crafting a compelling petition that showcased the qualifications in the best possible light.
What stood out most was Akosua’s attention to detail and her commitment to excellence — every letter, form, and exhibit was handled with precision.

Her communication was prompt and thorough, and she always made time to answer my questions and keep me informed. Thanks to her skill and hard work, my EB-1 petition was approved without a Request for Evidence, which speaks volumes about the strength and clarity of the case she prepared.

If you are considering an EB-1 application, I wholeheartedly recommend Akosua. Her legal acumen, work ethic, and genuine care for her clients set her apart.
