SCAMMER

My parents hired this criminal lawyer back in 2020/2021, he fraudulently submitted VAWA applications and charged thousands ONLY in cash. We didn't know until one day we heard other people waiting outside his office talk about him scamming people. Kofi and everyone who works in that office are disgust...ing greedy monsters. Im so glad he got caught, he hurt so many families.

He plead guilty

On a daily basis I saw many of Kofi's victims come through the airport and I'd ALWAYS give them advice to drop him ASAP. The ones that got caught with denied I-130's, I am sorry. Please spread the word about him to all of your friends and family who might be clients of his or his colleague, Sylveste...r Boateng, as they are both into this similar scheme. The following link is the good news of his guilty plea AND it has a link to possibly and hopefully get your money back via his restitution payment. Good luck all https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/bronx-former-attorney-pleads-guilty-large-scale-immigration-fraud

Had the worst experience ever

I thought I was with the right person, not until I discovered I'm falling into a trap, almost lost $1500 but thanks to velvetfrost89(at) gmail,com who helped with getting it all back, almost learnt in the hard way.

We were also scammed

In 2016, someone referred KOFI to us. We started the immigration process ok, the i130 was approved. We decided to continue the second part and that’s when it all started, he filed the wrong immigration form and told my husband that he had his appointment for his visa interview in our home country wh...en in reality, he filed the wrong form and almost had my husband leave the US without the proper documentation. Everytime we called, he was never available and Dora was the one always covering for him. We asked for our money back and were always ignored. I sent emails to them, and tried to file a complaint against him back in 2019. Til this day, we never heard back from them and we have lost many years trying to do the right by USCIS.

He did not do what he promised!!!

Not only did he deceived the system, he lied and filed thing without authorization. Even if you receive your work permit or green card because your case has not base it will be denied by immigration that could potentially lead to being deported because now Immigration knows about you! Aunque te a...prueben el permiso de trabajo, o tu green card como el hizo el caso basándose en VAWA y quita la petición hace que todo el caso no sea válido. En ese momento te niegan la green card o te pueden negar la ciudadanía! Y ahora inmigración tiene toda tu información. No sigan con el es un fraude no le den su dinero a nadie de esa oficina ! Sólo están dando su dinero para que los expongan
