The short version of my story

I spent 14 long, painful years going down multiple, extremely frustrating and wrong (even from government sources 😱) “rabbit holes” in my DIY pursuit of Portuguese citizenship through the spousal route. I even went for a resident card after I was rejected for citizenship due to not meeting the language requirement,

In 2018, I studied Portuguese in Portugal, and I worked extremely hard to pass the A2 language requirement. I finally stopped messing around with the DIY route and hired a successful, fluent English-speaking, “boots on the ground” attorney in Lisbon. With their help, I applied for citizenship in October of 2018, and I became a citizen in 2o months later (delayed issuance due to the pandemic).

Since 2018, I have been working with the attorney / law firm as a California-based immigration specialist to help clients realize their dreams and accomplish their goals.

I’ve worked on so many different scenarios, and this have given me deep insights into how to overcome the many challenges and roadblocks that can arise during the process to obtain citizenship or residency. It’s extremely satisfying to guide her clients through their respective paths to acquisition: ancestral, spousal, residency, investment / Golden Visa, etc.

My business has been by referral, so I am always extremely grateful, touched and honored that our clients refer us to their friends, families, and loved ones.

This, to me, is the ultimate compliment.
