My thanks and appreciation

My lawyer filed my visa application (Green card) and and guided me in every step until our visas (i.e. mine, my wife and our daughter) have been issued. She has done a tremendous work and a very effective counseling and service, which I greatly appricated. And I want to say a "big thank you" to my la...wyer and her staff.

status denial

my wife is from Brazil and we met here in the South Carolina. we married and immediately began immigration process with an attorney from Orlando, Florida. attorney was recommended to us. one never knows how things work unless you experience first hand. being the sponsor, every bit of personal informa...tion about me and my past and documents that supports were requested of me. wasn't prepared for it but I got through it. so finally about 6 months get an interview date and we went without an attorney. big mistake. thought everything would be fine. I was asked to leave the room and the lady began an interrogation about my wifes past and how she got her Visa. my understanding of the initial interview was to show government that our marriage was legit and real. we loved each other and had nothing to hide. had 2 scrap books full of our life just from 6 months been together. well 2 weeks later, we receive a notice in mail denying our application for green card. claim was wife committed fraud. not true and we were upset and scared. attorney we hired to began the process just wasn't qualified in my eyes. I contacted and spoke with several attorneys locally and hadn't found anyone I felt comfortable or confident with. so we had 2 weeks left to respond to this denial letter when I began searching and found Fogle law firm out of Charlotte, North Carolina. I read through their website and credentials and was impressed and hopeful. I called them on a Friday around 1130 am and spoke with Lisa office manager. explained the situation and that's when Mary Lynn entered the picture and they told me I need to come see them today and bring my wife and all my documents. we met and spoke with Mary Lynn and I retained them immediately. we needed additional documents to send in a package to reply to this denial letter and short fee months later we got a letter of approval in the mail. it was huge success and relief for us. couldn't be more happier. they continued the process to help us get my wifes 2 children here to the states and now everything is finished we are able to start our lives. in the future, I would recommend anyone needing an immigration attorney to contact Fogle law firm. the Collier family appreciates their legal presence and many many years of experience in this field. thank you.....
