Carmen R. Arce

After signing the contract to hire Carmen Arce I had severe difficulties to speak with her, she never replied to my phone calls, never called back and didn't agree to see me until 6 days before I was supposed to depart USA. I got insulted by her colleagues by phone. The lawyer herself told me by emai...l that my case was not important to her because she was busy with other clients. Due to her recommendation and very difficult circumstances I left USA which broke up my family and left my daughter to grow up without her father. My case was denied by USCIS, not because I was not eligible to be accepted but because Carmen Arce Immig. made mistakes when filing my case. The firm was happy to charge me extra for documentation they could not even file with USCIS but they still did. As a result I now have 10 years ban to enter USA. After receiving my denial notice not once I heard from Arce herself, I repeatedly emailed her until she found a minute to reply with excuses treating me as if I was wrong. I discussed my case directly with USCIS and they confirmed that Arce Immig. made the mistakes that became fatal to my case and my case was denied. This company has huge issues with lack of professionalism and lack of attention to detail which are inevitable with immigration cases.

I was looking to immigrate to the U.S. a couple of years ago. Every "good" immigration lawyer was suggesting that I follow the EB-5 route which it turns out is often just a money grab for the lawyers. The fees for the program run into the high 5 figure range just for the lawyers. Additionally the $50...0,00 investment required by the program is invested in projects that are dubious to say the least and often results in the investor losing all of there money. The whole EB-5 program is as shady as it gets. I contacted 3 separate lawyers who did not ask any questions but strongly recommended the EB-5 route. Given the nature of the program I kept looking and saw that Carmen was involved with the Florida Bar Association. I called her and explained my situation and she immediately suggested a route that was much better in all aspects. The result was Carmen got me my green card quickly and without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. She was a fantastic attorney - always pleasant, always accessible and always looking out for my best interests. And more importantly, she knows what she is doing.

I consulted with many law firms regarding my visa application for immigration. The reason I chose Carmen Arce was her forthright and informative approach, combined with a personal understanding I found to be comforting and reassuring. As chair of the board for Immigration and Naturalization at the ti...me we consulted, I knew I was dealing with someone who specialized in her field. All in all, my dealings with Carmen and her staff throughout what is undoubtedly a stressful process, have been outstanding in terms of professionalism and a personal interest. She is honest, straightforward, delivers on her undertakings and is available whenever I have needed her. I highly recommend Carmen and her firm for Immigration procedures, and have done so to many friends who have inquired. My visa application was expeditiously handled and is now approved.
