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.

Navigating Immigration with Confidence

Immigration is one of the most important steps in a person’s life—whether it’s reuniting with family, pursuing education, advancing a career, or finding safety from difficult circumstances. According to recent U.S. Census Bureau data, over 45 million immigrants currently live in the United States, with Washington, DC being one of the most diverse metropolitan areas. Families from Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Europe have built their homes here, enriching the city’s culture, workforce, and communities.

But the immigration process in the United States is often complex, time-sensitive, and overwhelming. From confusing paperwork and strict deadlines to interviews with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), even a small error can delay or jeopardize your immigration goals.

That’s why having a trusted immigration attorney in Washington, DC makes all the difference. At AB Legal Consult, we understand both the legal system and the challenges immigrants face. Our mission is simple: to provide clear guidance, protect your rights, and walk with you every step of the way.
