Frankly, I do not know what I would have done without her. Lamiaa was recommended to me by a friend. She's been doing cases like this for a decade. As most people are aware, the USCIS receives hundreds of thousands if not millions of petitions, and because of that, they are very strict on the paperwo...rk and deadlines. Lamiaa notified me about small details that could be the reason whether or not my petition gets sent back. Being rejected before, this could have been the reason why I had not just one but multiple applications received and accepted. It took forever, but I have peace of mind knowing that Lamiaa was very familiar with the process.

she is irresponsibility and very rude , never answer your phone, even lost your documents. never inform the client at all

I hired this lawyer this year. It's the biggest mistake I ever made. First, she lost all my documents and called me while I was off that Friday. I had to drive 5 hours back home to email her all the information. Second, when I need a simple explain or question from her, she always has excuse to delay... and refuse to see or talk to you. For example, I asked for my LCA application and H1B receipt # in April 2013. She refused to give to me. This year I didn't get my H1B for FY 2014, I asked for the reason. She said I was unlucky that I wasn't selected through the lottery. But now since I'm leaving the previous company, I asked her again, she had to admit there is never a receipt # from USCIS for my petition. Which means, she did something wrong. Because even if I wasn't selected through the lottery, as long as my petition was received by USCIS, I would have a receipt #. Third, when I asked her for the receipt # recently, she said she was annoyed, she has no time to answer my questions. How can she say that? I only email her two simple questions... She is such a bad lawyer. she is irresponsibility, totally screw all the thing and waste my chance and time. she is also very rude. worst of all, she is not professional.

Away from this bad lawyer

This is really a bad lawyer ever. I would advice you keep away from this lawyer. I had hired this lawyer, Lamiaa Elfar, but she did not help me much other than a poor cover letter. My application, EB1A, form I140, was rejected. The main reason is my recommendation letters and cover letter were not cl...early explained details of my application. This lawyer did not help me anything on the recommendation letters, even I asked her. She rarely pickup and answer your phone or even just reply your email. When ever she need your money she will pick up phone. So bad lawyer ever. She has no responsibility for your application.
