Anser Ahmad

Unprofessional. Avoid. My fiancee and I hired Anser and his team for our fiancee visa (k-1) process. In our first meeting, we were clearly informed that we would be supported throughout the filing and interview process. This included details like preparing for the interview, etc. The filing pa...rt went smoothly, and the firm was responsive to emails/calls during those first few weeks. But as our case faced delays due to the pandemic and we needed legal advice, the firm stopped responding to our emails. I finally had a phone call with Anser in December 2020, and he advised that we should wait till January before discussing what options we have regarding the case. In January, I sent multiple emails but the firm didn't give me a single reply. Not even one as a matter of professional courtesy to one's client. Its been three weeks of unresponsive emails and unreturned phone calls. I think the embassy has been more responsive that Anser's office. I've decided to change my lawyer so i can actually get hired legal help. Disappointing.

I would never recommend this lawyer to another person. I am a U.S. citizen who hired Anser to help my immigrant husband, who was detained in ICE custody, to get a green card. All my husband received was a deportation order. Anser did nothing in this case besides charge us $7,500. Unfortunately fo...r my family, I didn't realize all of Anser's mistakes until trial ... and then it was too late. Anser had asked me for some evidence, which I sent to him. He didn't file some of it with the court. He told us we only need one document to establish that my husband had been here for 11 years. At trial, the judge told us that one page of evidence was not enough to prove my husband was here for 11 years. He didn't submit evidence showing the huge hardship that our four children and I would suffer if my husband wasn't allowed to stay in the United States. He spent about 15 minutes in the jail with my husband preparing him to testify. He never met with me to prepare me to testify at the trial. Five minutes prior to my husband's immigration trial beginning, Anser told me that I had to testify that I would leave the United States with my husband and our children if my husband was deported. I told him that I couldn't leave the United States but he said if you want to win, you have to tell the judge you will leave the United States. The only time he spoke to me on the phone was when it was time to send payments. Other than that most of my calls were sent to voice mail and never returned. The worst thing about this process has been that the whole time Anser told my husband and me that my husband's case was an easy case to win and we had a 70% chance of winning. This was completely false. The immigration judge said that we didn't have enough evidence to prove anything. This was not because the evidence didn't exist but because Anser never asked me for this evidence and/or because he never filed the evidence that I did send to him. Stay away from this lawyer!
