It was a pleasure to deal with such a professional, efficient yet caring team of individuals.
Len is an expert in his field and his staff are experts as well.
All in all a wonderful experience.

Len exhibited professionalism and efficiency as he skillfully navigated the bureaucratic hurdles. His vast knowledge and experience in dealing specifically with these matters was instrumental in helping me to avoid significant delays while minimizing processing time. His costs are better than fair, and well worth every penny. I will continue to refer Len to all in need of assistance related to immigration, and he will surely remain my first call.

Len is an outstanding attorney. He is meticulous, well respected and extremely knowledgeable. More so, he cares about his clients. He has ethics and values. A rare combination.

Len has been my immigration lawyer for more than 10 years. Let me state that my life would have been far more challenging these past few years if it were not for Len’s legal guidance, genuine compassion and incredible expertise.

Len has helped me immigrate to the U.S twice. The second time being more challenging due to a clerical error that occurred when I attempted to return my previous green card. Throughout the process, Len outlined what I could expect and explained the procedures in a step-by-step format that made me feel safe, secure and confident in his ability.

Len has never encouraged services I did not absolutely need. Knowing this, I took him up on the offer to have him present at my second interview. What appeared as a seemingly small error in documentation, was explained at my interview in a way I never could. Firstly, I don’t understand all the lingo, the legal proceedings or the limitations and responsibilities of the officers and other respective officials. Having someone to communicate this way, on my behalf, was invaluable.

I recommend Len to anyone seeking an immigration lawyer that they can trust will put their well-being and peace-of-mind first and foremost.

Len Saunders with Blaine Immigration is a very professional and knowledgeable attorney. This man was able to get me my waiver that I’ve waited years for. I had a different attorney in a different state that did absolutely nothing. Len came highly recommended from a friend of mine. Len will go out of his way to ensure your waiver application isn’t missing anything. Len is literally my 2nd favourite guy right now. Now I am able to travel to the USA to visit my #1 guy. My dad. Thank you Len!

Before meeting Len I was initially skeptical of my situation. He assessed what documentation I had to support my (relatively) difficult case, and after the meeting, I was entirely in another headspace.

Not only did he have the knowledge to craft an educated outlook on my file but he also knew exactly what I needed to source and submit for the best rate of success. Kind of an important thing to have in your Immigration Lawyer: confidence.

Through his professional guidance he put me on a streamlined track of submitting only the necessary materials to further my application along. Again I have to stress that I was a somewhat particular case but all the same, months after initially submitting my application, I’m sitting here with an American passport. Success indeed as Len had called it from Day 1 despite minor trepidations from my end.

To recap and drive the thesis home:

This guy works harder than your coal mining grandfather. He cares more than your nursing mother. He’s funnier than your cousin, makes better plays than your favourite quarterback, and he won’t break your heart like a prom date.

He’s the real deal. End of story. American Passport in-hand 5 days after approval.

Thank you Len and the team at Blaine Immigration.

I highly recommend Len Saunders to anyone dealing with cross-border immigration. Len has a refreshing, straightforward approach that guided me to complete and apply for my documents in less than a week! For anyone having to deal with complicated cross-border immigration, Len is the lawyer to use!

My experience with Len has been outstanding and I am so impressed with his personal approach of being on your side in every step of the process. My initial first contact was via phone wanting to know more about US waivers, he was very knowledgeable and assured me he would walk me through the steps of a scary process. He met me in the Canadian side and It went well and even better then I expected. I swear i don’t understand how he can be so involved with all his clients. His 1:1 approach really assured me with a positive outlook to the future. They way he interpreted the steps was simple and made it easy to understand. He walked me through the entire process and I hadn’t even hired him! At the US customs office, he was with me throughout the process so glad I got to know him and worth every penny and more. Price was reasonable and I would say probably cheap for the freedom he’s helped me get going to the US. Thank you Len, you are awesome and a pleasure to get to know you. You are personal, keener and a person with integrity! You don’t see this often with lawyers!

Len Saunders and the team at Blaine Immigration literally changed my life. I was going back and forth between two countries for years and with Len's experience, hard work and responsiveness I was able to successfully first get my green card then also my US Citizenship

Len is Rock Star. I have referred I think at least 8-10 people to Len and he 100% helped several of my friends and colleagues effortlessly handle their immigration situation.

He was worth every dime we spent with him and more.

When I have any immigration need, Len handles it or refers me to one of his trusted contacts that specializes in a particular area.

He ALWAYS answers his phone, he always returns calls and he's always fun and easy to deal with. Not bad for a guy that is clearly the expert in his field.

Len Saunders is a fantastic immigration attorney and a great person! He’s straightforward, honest, and knowledgeable. He helped my husband get his Nexus card and he helped me immigrate to the US from Canada. His advice and support saved us time, money, and stress
Hiring an immigration attorney to help navigate the forms, interviews, and red tape is a must!

I need to detail my experience with this attorney. He is a condensing jerk and do yourself a favor, please do not hire him. I was referred to him by another firm in Washington. Instead of being someone who would listen and offer solutions to my problem, he constantly spoke to me in a very disrespectful way because when I started the immigration process for my husband I did not hire a lawyer. Several times during the phone conversation he said "So you were too cheap to hire an attorney......" This was not the case or the reason I called. He also told me that he doesn't help Mexicans, only Canadians. I am still stunned at his unprofessional tone and complete disrespect on the phone as I write this. I cannot say enough about how this cocky lawyer with a bad attitude thinks he is better than you. UGH! Stay away.

I absolutely, positively recommend Len Saunders of Blaine Immigration.

I moved from Vancouver BC a few years ago, obtaining TN status on my own and re-establishing my professional career in Seattle. After marrying and buying a home, I attempted the immigration process on my own, without a lawyer.

After getting stumped by changes to the document submission process and encountering significant delays at the NVC, I realized that my own handling of the immigration process was a formidable mistake. I reached out to several Seattle lawyers that I found on Yelp. They all declined my case, citing that they didn't take on cases where the process had advanced to this stage. One lawyer declined my case but not without first lecturing me about making mistakes. Another gave me incorrect information. I felt the impending doom of losing my work authorization, my job and income source, and jeopardizing my family financially.

I emailed Len Saunders on the recommendation of another Canadian green card holder. Seeing the urgency, he called me back in 30 minutes, and immediately educated me about options that would allow me to carry on working legally in the US while waiting for my interview. This help saved me from a disastrous situation where I would have to leave the US. He told me that I could contact him whenever I had questions.

The rest of the process proceeded with step-by-step advice and hand-holding from Len. It took the stress away, which is worth more than what money can by. He met me before my interview to review my info packet, to make sure I had the correct documents. He advised on which flight to take to Montreal, where to stay to be close to the new consulate location, and what proof of bona fide marriage to bring. He gave us his cell phone and informed us to call from Montreal whatever the issue encountered ("nevermind the time difference!"). He wanted to know right away if the interview had issues and help resolve them immediately.

If I were to turn back time, I would have hired Len at the outset because he is an lawyer who is "on the pulse", and clearly cares about his clients and his work. He knows the latest, the minutiae, and is an expert among immigration lawyers when it comes to Canadians immigrating to the US.

I found the service was very flexible, professional, knowledge, and efficient, as there is no way, that a person could have done this type of work on their own. He short circuited the problem, by knowing what the correct procedure for my problem should be, he knew exactly what the agents needed and assembled it all in a matter of days. Not the months that it would have taken myself to do it, plus i believe we didn't exasperate these poor border guards from just doing their jobs by going back and fourth.

I am grateful that I came across Len. He is highly knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help me. He met me in Canada to assist with my situation, and gave me excellent advice. Len returns calls quickly, and makes himself available when needed. I give Len my highest recommendation.

As a Canadian citizen I needed a I-192 waiver for the US. I have previously filed 2 of these myself and filed for my 3rd one in January 2019 at the Blaine crossing and paid my $585 USD. After 150 days I enquired to the ARO office as to the status of my waiver and was told they had never received it. Turns out it had been collecting dust at the border crossing in Blaine and they only sent it out in June (5 months late) which was also when it officially expired. Despite several pleading emails to the ARO they would not respond any further. I needed to understand my options and after several inquiries with various attorneys I was referred to The Immigration Law Firm and Len Saunders in Blaine, WA. Within a few days Len personally escorted me back to the Blaine crossing and refiled me under his lawyers government account, immediately confirmed they received the completed application in the Virginia ARO office and ensured the Blaine officers properly did the filing as it appears many are unfamiliar with the process.
DRUM ROLL PLEASE
I then received my waiver 4 business days later!! Anyone who deals with the government understands that this is an outstanding response. Unfortunately, I did not know of Len's services earlier so I was precluded from US travel for 2 months. While you may save some money doing it yourself it only takes one screwup to completely mess up any plans you may have requiring US travel and that may not be worth it in the long run. Since Len has sub-specialized in this particular area of immigration law he can confidently and competently explain all options to you. I can recomend Len, his services and his staff without reservation.

I strongly recommend Len Saunders for any waivers or immigration issues. He has not only changed my life being able to travel back to USA but he also changed my families. He was so calm and positive through the whole experience. He has great demeanour and I can see why he gets along with US border patrol. I see a friend for life out of this experience and recommend anyone who has a problem with coming into the US to use Len. He will tell you the truth if you can make it in and not waste your time and money. Thanks again Len! Your Awesome!

Len is truly amazing. He helped me out of a bad situation when I tried to naturalize my wife and daughter. I started with a bad lawyer in the Phoenix area who led me down the wrong path. She turned the whole process into a giant mess resulting in a denied entry for daughter at the Peace Arch border crossing one lonely night in 2010. That incident turned into a blessing in disguise because that is how I found Len. Not only did he correct the past mistakes of the first lawyer from Phoenix, he completely and painlessly finalized our file to a successful end. As it turned out my daughter was an undocumented citizen from birth. Len, and his vast knowledge of immigration Law discovered this while working our case.

Len and his firm perform amazing work each and every day. I highly recommend his services for any US/Canada border issues.

I have been a longtime client of Leonard Saunders. He is an exceptional immigration lawyer and his knowledge of immigration laws are vast. In addition to being very attentive and dedicated he is also very thorough and provided me with invaluable recommendations and advice. With many years of experience, he was always very professional, confident and extremly helpful and knowlegeable through the entire process. Anytime I had a question or concern I could definitely count on him. I would highly recommend Len to family or friends who are need of any immigration services. You can have a peace of mind that your case is in good hands when working with Len Saunders.

Leonard Saunders was extremely helpful, informed and pleasant to deal with in a situation where our son required a waiver to be able to re-enter the USA to visit his daughter. He worked very diligently to help him (and us) through the lengthy process and succeeded in the endeavour. We are thoroughly thankful for his work and continued support and would highly recommend him to others.

Len is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! I highly recommend him as YOUR immigration lawyer.... He is extremely knowledgeable, walks you through every step, takes all the stress off your shoulders. It was a very confusing and frustrating ordeal when trying to get my husbands Greencard through marriage and tried to do the process on our own.... WORST DECISION EVER!!!! We tried to save money by doing the process ourselves and ended up costing us MORE in the long run than if we just hired a lawyer in the first place...not to mention the time and stress we went through!!! The government almost sent my husband out of the country during the process which would have lead to a 3 year penalty and would be unable to re-enter at any terms!!! Don't go anywhere else. We shopped and shopped, once we spoke to Len we were SOLD!!! He is so genuine, cares about his clients, and wants to educate people on this confusing process!

Len is an amazing lawyer. He's extremely knowledgable in his field, and takes great pride in his work. 100% recommended, literally don't go anywhere else. Great price, amazing service, and the best work. I went to 6 different lawyers, and he was the only one who figured out my case. He had me in the US within a month, when the other lawyers said it would take 6 months to a year.

I've had a relationship with Len Saunders and The Immigration Law Firm for nearly 10 years. During that time Len has been a consummate professional and has delivered on business-critical immigration matters, including multiple L1 Visa applications for myself, my staff and colleagues.

Len and his team prepare meticulously, perform to their timelines, are clear on costs, and pro-actively communicate renewals. They know their business and they deliver on their commitments.

Over the years, I've lost count of the people and businesses I've referred to Len and The Immigration Law Firm. That's as strong a review as I give.

After struggling with the travel waiver process for a couple of years and working through some of the pardon agencies I was finally referred to Len Saunders a few years ago. It was the best referral ever!

Len was very accomodating, quick and efficient. He managed my first waiver expertly, when it came time to renew it was even easier and the results were beyond my expectations.

With Len there is no BS, he tells it like it is. He under-promised and over-delivered. I don't think there is anyone else in the Vancouver/Washington State area who can match his ability.

I found Len Saunders and the Immigration Law Firm in Blaine, WA back in 2011. By then, I had spent many thousands of dollars with unscrupulous lawyers and legal services promising my waiver but only wanting more fees. Len was a different experience right from the beginning. He was completely honest and blunt about my situation, and researched my case before he requested any money at all. By the time I sent my first (very reasonable) payment, he already knew and understood my situation and suggested a straightforward, cost-effective, relatively speedy and ultimately successful remedy for me. The other lawyers and services got thousands of dollars from me simply for taking my calls and spending time on the phone with me.

Len has always gotten back to me quickly and worked honestly on my cases, as well as those of the several referrals I’ve sent his way over the years. In fact, everyone I know who has worked with him literally cannot believe that there would be anyone out there who might feel differently. Sure, anyone’s case might not go the way they want, but I can’t imagine that there would be a more qualified & honest person to resolve an immigration matter than Mr. Saunders. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these unscrupulous lawyers and services might have made some negative posts themselves. I give Len Saunders & his Immigration Law Firm my highest rating, and recommend them to anyone with a US border crossing issue.

I hired The Immigration Law Firm (Leonard Saunders) 6 years ago to help me obtain the necessary visa that would allow my wife to enter the USA. Len is very knowledgeable in the immigration field, he knew the process that this visa would involve. Len is proactive, he always kept me up to date on the status of my application and what the next steps would be. Rather than waiting for INS to tell us what documents needed to be submitted next thus delaying this process, Len constantly kept in contact with me so that when INS wanted to proceed with the next step we were ready with the proper documentations so as not to stall my wife coming to the US. Len is not only very professional, he is a kind and caring man. With Lens assistance my wife was able to come to the US in a timely manner. Six years later, I still keep in contact with Len. What began as a business relationship has now led to a friendship. Without any hesitations I have recommended Len and the Immigrations Law Firm to many friends and acquaintances.

Before acquiring the services of Mr Saunders I truly believed there would never be a lawyer in heaven. Through several back to back horrifying experiences with lawyers that didn't get the job done and never return the call unless it was in regard to their bill, and always billed me to no end I finally find Leonard. A lawyer whos friendly honest and truly your friend, one that returns calls even after hours on his own time. For once I felt I could ask all the questions I needed to ask without the fear of getting billed by the minute. This level of customer service surpasses anything and everything I expected out of a lawyer even one that I hire to represent and help me. After 8 long years of battling and losing the immigration game with several layers and frustration to no end I found the lawyer who took interest in my case. He took the time and study the past history, he was truly fueled by the injustice that happened to me and took the case on truly in order to help me out. Not once I felt that the reason was money. He drove with me to my appointment which is 2 hours each way and asked me can "I make some phone calls on the way there?" I said absolutely! Not once I got a charge for "traveling time" or partial charge for phone call I placed to him. I was so pleased with the services both my mother and my father have used his services and he always got the job done. I also recommend him to several friends of mine and every one of them made a point to call me back and thank me. Truly amazing lawyer really takes care of you, phenomenal customer service!
Highly recommended you will not be disappointed!

If you require any type of immigration advice I strongly urge you to look elsewhere.
Very unprofessional service and seem to lack knowledge of even the simplest of cases.
I would give them no stars, but it's not an option it seems here.
