My husband and I sought assistance with a I-601 waiver and Immigrant Visa (Permanent Residency). The task ahead of us was daunting and we dreaded having our family seperated by over 2000 miles. Because of that, we felt that it was in our best interest to hire a lawyer for our case.
Immediately, I ...was pleased with our decision. We started the I-130 in January 2011 with the help of Adam Solow. My husband had his first Visa interview on December 14th, 2011. On January 10th, 2012 my husband turned in his I-601 waiver packet which was approved on July 18th. My husband's final interview was on September 20th, 2012 and he boarded the plane for the United States on October 20th.
Through all of this, we helped by our lawyer every step of the way in a manner that was not only professional, but friendly, compassionate, and personal. Even before my husband left for El Salvador to begin his wait for "legalization," our lawyer, Adam Solow, was hard at work. Within only 10 months from our filing date in San Salvador, my husband was home! Not only did this match the estimate that we were given by Mr. Solow, but it further proved what an asset a good lawyer can be for a case. The process was long, confusing, and frustrating at times, but our lawyer was patient and diligent. I was kept informed and always felt assured that we were on the right track. If at any point there was something that I did not understand or a part of the process that seemed to be stagnant, our lawyer was quick to seek out any information that might help our cause. Mr. Solow went out of his way to exhaust every possible option to help my husband to return. Even after his return, our lawyer e-mailed us just to see if my husband had received his Resident Card in the mail yet. I really felt that the well-being of my family was important to Mr. Solow; we were not just another case. We had names, faces, and personalities...all of which our lawyer had come to know. I was always confident that Mr. Solow cared about our case personally.
I know that if it were not for the efforts of Mr. Solow, my husband would not have returned as quickly as he did. I would urge anyone who is getting ready to undergo this process to get a lawyer...and if at all possible, hire Adam Solow. My family is together again and we are forever grateful for all the Mr. Solow did for us!
