Vicki K. Anderson

I hired Vicki to handle my wife's immigration case. I regret it 100 percent. 1.) We gave all necessary documents for her to send in for step 1. But she forgot our passport photos in the copier. Caused longer delays for our case. I would think a lawyer should double check before sending in the docume...nts. But not this lawyer. 2.) Didn't tell me until after I filed my taxes the first year that we needed to file "married but filing separately". Why would I ever think of doing that if my wife isn't a US citizen and doesn't live in the US? I had to amend my taxes and pay more in taxes including a penalty. This caused even more delays in our case. 3.) Due to COVID there were additional requirements added for immigration. Vicki did tell us about these added requirements. We did not agree with these new requirements. So Vicki said there is a waiver we could file instead. It will require more work and Vicki reminded us numerous times it will cost us more for her to do that. But we were ok with that. She also said we had to continue to file with the NVC before she could file the waiver. So we continued. However after she filed with the NVC, she sent me message saying she is not handling our case anymore because she is starting her own firm. We need to hire a different lawyer to continue now. And we owe her money. What about the waiver??? If we knew she was not going to do it, we wouldn't have continued with her working on our case. And really..... why couldn't her new firm handle he case? We already hired her. She just didn't want to file the waiver. 4.) I tried asking her questions about the added requirements and probabilities of our case. I am not a lawyer and want to know about getting my wife to the US. She said if I want to ask more questions she charges per hour. How thoughtful..... 5.) The last email she sent to my wife said- if you really want Brian(that's me) to be with you, consider him moving to your country instead. Lol. What a great thing to hear from our immigration lawyer. I recommend choosing a more thoughtful and professional lawyer.

Vicki was the lawyer of 3 individuals in my family. We however finalized our agreement on very bad terms. She was rude, not compassionate and very judgmental. We were not familiar with US immigration laws and instead of teaching us about our options she would use terms against us like « fraudulent » ...« lie to me» quite easily without giving us the benefit of the doubt. I wouldn’t recommend her.
