The intricacies of the US immigration system can be very challenging to navigate. But Atyoney Akosua Banahene of A.B. Legal Consult LLC and her group of knowledgeable and experienced immigration professionals gave me committed advice at every stage of my Green Card application process.

Attorney Akosua Banahene not only gave me insightful legal counsel, but she also supported me emotionally and psychologically by motivating me. It is important to highlight AB Legal's guarantees of the utmost consideration.

I am in the finest position right now to make the change, live the American dream, and pursue my goals. I give them credit for their hard work and attention to detail, making sure that every packet and piece of evidence needed for this procedure was thoroughly recorded.

If you're a prospective immigrant searching for an immigration lawyer and legal firm, please place your final wager on AB Legal to provide you with a thorough job. Bless Attorney Akosua Banahene and the entire staff at AB Legal Consult.

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.

Immigration Support in the Heart of New York City

New York City has always been known as the gateway for immigrants to America. With more than 3.1 million foreign-born residents—nearly 37% of the city’s population—New York is home to one of the largest and most diverse immigrant communities in the world. From Queens, the most ethnically diverse urban area on Earth, to Brooklyn’s Caribbean neighborhoods and Manhattan’s Chinatown, immigrants shape every part of NYC’s culture, workforce, and future.

But immigration law in the United States is complex and unforgiving. Whether you’re seeking a green card, applying for citizenship, or defending against deportation, even small mistakes can lead to delays, denials, or separation from loved ones. That’s why working with a trusted immigration attorney in New York, NY is essential.

At AB Legal Consult, we proudly serve immigrants across all five boroughs—Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. We provide clear guidance, strong representation, and compassionate support for individuals, families, and businesses navigating the U.S. immigration system.

📞 Contact us today at +1 (703) 705-9905 or email info@ablegalconsult.com to schedule your confidential consultation with a New York immigration lawyer.

Why Hire an Immigration Lawyer in New York City?

New York is one of the busiest immigration hubs in the country, with multiple USCIS offices, immigration courts, and ICE facilities serving millions of cases. Trying to handle this process alone is stressful—and risky. With the right attorney, you can feel confident that your rights are protected.

  • Avoiding Costly Mistakes
    • Applications like Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) and Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status) must be error-free. One missing document can cause serious delays.

    • We help clients anticipate and prepare for USCIS requests, reducing unnecessary waiting times.
  • Protecting Immigrant Rights
    • Whether before USCIS, ICE, or immigration court, our attorneys fight to protect your rights and keep families together.
  • Representation at Interviews & Hearings
    • We represent clients at USCIS interviews in Manhattan or Queens and before the New York and Varick Street Immigration Courts, giving you the best possible chance at success.

💡 Example: A naturalization applicant in Queens may face delays if they fail to submit required tax documents. With AB Legal Consult, we review everything beforehand to avoid issues and prepare you fully for your interview.
