Adrian R. Halpern

We hired Adrian Halpern for our case of Adjustment of Status for a National Interest Waiver (EB-2). We chose him because we had a referral at the workplace and because during the initial consultation he seemed to us more up-to-date with the most recent changes the National Interest Waiver process. F...rom the point of view of his experience in this specific area of ​​the Immigration Law we had nothing to complain. Unfortunately, even if our case was finally approved, the service offered was unsatisfactory. Below are the reasons: - we regularly waited several days (and in some cases more than a week) for his response to the emails we sent requesting important information or updates. - no one never answered the phone at his office. - he forgot an appointment set and confirmed in advance and he didn't show up at his office - we prepared and reviewed some of the documentation needed for the case, basically anticipating his work, because we felt that the process was taking too long - he was constantly mentioning family and personal duties or simply "I did not have time" as the reason for delayed responses and appointment setting. - to our request to help for the expiration of the current visa approaching soon, he seemed to have lost interest in our case and advised to call the toll-free number of USCIS to get an update and he wished "GOOD LUCK" - during a meeting, he told us that we did not have to complain and that we needed to wait because he had other things to do in the next couple of weeks. This just because, as a client, we asked if it was possible to speed up the process. - he did not even propose to join us for the interview scheduled at USCIS, basically ignoring any further assistance, just stating: "you will be approved". - after our final interview with USCIS, he never followed us to ask if everything went fine. To conclude, we always had a respectful and kind manner as clients and he had a friendly and relaxed manner. But during such a delicate and stressing time as the Adjustment of Status, due to his non-responsiveness and poor service, we were left in the aura of uncertainty that didn't give us peace of mind.
