I hired Mr Kanu when my application was redundant for about three years. His taking over my case brought life back to my case file. After reviewing my case ,he gave me his unbiased opinion. And true to his honest and impeccable predictions, my worst nightmare came staring at my face.

I remember vividly that afternoon when I called him to tell him about the denial letter and told him that I was dropping out a certification program I was attending in Dallas because of the bad news. In his own words, Mr Kanu said " you ain't going nowhere. Continue with your program, I am gonna take it up from here"
That reassuring voice, that it wasn't over was the best therapy I needed at the moment. So calming!
Mr Kanu is very meticulous and professional
In handling issues. He has a way of telling you the bitter truth without hurting your feelings.
Fast forward to August this year 2024 I was invited for another interview and Mr Kanu accompanied us and few days later my case was approved.
Not only did I find a good attorney in Mr Kanu,I also found an elder brother in him.
I can comfortably, confidently and unequivocally recommend Mr Kanu and his team to anybody seeking for change of status. The law firm is tested and trusted.

I was applying for permanent residency through marriage. We originally hired a different attorney - not Mr Kanu. What we thought would be a simple process dragged on for years. My wife and I grew desperate, because we felt the attorney we were using at the time didn’t care. Every time we tried to reach our attorney for updates or questions, we were directed to a different person in their firm, but we rarely talked to our actual attorney. Every time we talked to them they said the same thing - nothing we can do but wait. It would also take a long time for them to get back to us.

We were tired of waiting - so we decided to search for a different attorney and found Mr Kanu. We scheduled a meeting and provided him with all the information. He was kind, friendly, and very knowledgeable. I liked the fact that he was accessible to us if we had questions and his team was always quick to respond.

We retained Mr Kanu, and he requested all our files from the prior attorney.

After reviewing our case and the documents we had provided to the other attorney, he told us we qualified to apply through a different, more expedited way for permanent residency. He wondered why the other attorney didn’t go that route.

So we applied again. A couple of months after that I was issued a work permit. Then six months after we submitted the application, it was approved, and I received my green card.

Mr Kanu is efficient, thorough, respectful, and he understands the challenges us immigrants go through.

I will be forever grateful, and I will refer him to whoever needs immigration services.

Mr. Kanu helped us so much. I cried my eyes out to my old lawyers and they wouldn’t even call me back to see if I was okay. Within less than a year of transferring our case to Mr.Kanu we got the green card that was delayed in processing for over 60months because of this creative and experienced approach. Even before the green card he made sure we had work permits because he knows what immigrants go through while in limbo waiting for the government to make a decision. There is no better lawyer. Stick with small lawyers and stay away from large groups where you will just be treated like a number. We are not numbers in cue, we are people. Mr. Kanu will treat you like a real person.

Working with Kanu and Associates has truly been a life changing experience. I was at the lowest point in my life and thought I would lose the opportunity to help to raise my two daughters. I was a green card holder since 2002 when I entered the US at age 20. Misguided and hanging with the wrong crowd, I was charge with multiple felony drug possession in 2006 and 2009. This is less than 5 years of being in the country which made me eligible to be placed in deportation proceedings if I was convicted. By 2012 I was convicted with two felony drug solicitation charges. These were marijuana possession, a class 6 felony and sentence to one year probation. This immediately meant that I was placed into an immigration hold and was scheduled to have my green card revoked and be deported. I hired another immigration law firm and that after working with them for four years informed that the Republican’s presidential victor would cause them to have a difficult task of clearing my deportation status.
I immediately thought of seeking another opinion as none of what they were saying was an option for me at that time. I went on the internet to search for immigration law and found Kanu and Associates and from the first time I walked through his door and spoke to Salomon Kanu I felt that I was in the right place at the right time. Mr. Kanu assured me that while no case is guaranteed he has a plan of action that would give me a strong fighting chance at overturning the deportation filing.
Mr. Kanu looked at all aspects of my case, from the criminal background, family dynamics, and immigration status to formulate a comprehensive plan of action that best suited my situation. Mr. Kanu has experience in both criminal and immigration cases and understands how one affects the other. Mr. Kanu was able to lengthen the proceedings that would allow for more time for my criminal records to be less significant to the immigration process. Knowing my family history of having a US citizen wife and two daughters born in America, Mr. Kanu filed for my green card through my wife.
At my deportation hearing because I had violated the terms of my green card by committing a crime within the first five years of being in the country, I was eligible for deportation, but Mr. Kanu was able to argue that I have been rehabilitated and have made positive progress in my life since I been convicted. He asked the court to pardon my past transgressions and reinstate my green card status through my wife’s petition. Even with objections from the government lawyers and the argument that they have “Reason to Believe” I was a drug dealer, Mr. Kanu was able to show that was not the case and I was granted my green card on April 1st, 2021.
Mr. Kanu and his team have been nothing but supportive and are always available to assure me and my wife that we are doing the right thing. The process was long and sometimes stressful, but it was all worth the fight to be able to be with my wife and kids. Having someone with the vast experience of Kanu and Associates can make a big difference in the outcome of your case. Kanu and Associates stood by me and my family in our lowest point in life and through their professional services and hard work my family will be together.
Two years after receiving my green card Kanu and Associates called to inform me that it was time to apply for my citizenship. Mr. Kanu and his team helped to file my citizenship papers. Mr. Salomon Kanu accompanied me to the citizenship interview and guided me throughout the process. It is with great pleasure and the humblest of gratitude that I must say as of January 4, 2024, I am now a United States citizen.
Thanks for everything that Kanu and Associates have done for me and my family and to them I will be forever grateful. Keep up the amazing work you are doing and for all your efforts my family will forever be indebted.
