Robert Milla is the best attorney I have seen, who helped me get my marriage-based green card after 2.5 years of long waiting. My case was complicated but he perfectly helped me through this long and stressful process. I will share my experience here so that you can understand why I highly recommend ...him and his firm.Before hiring Robert to help us, I had another two attorneys to file my green card application and to terminate my court case. They all turned out to be not too much helpful and waste my time. Initially I had an NTA and need to see the judge. Before the first master hearing I already had my green card interview completed in Chicago and got my I-130 approved. Because of my pending courts case, the immigration officer has no jurisdiction on my I-485 so I need to see the judge and let judge to terminate my court case. The attorney I hired to represent me in court had totally no idea what she’s doing. Not even prepared for my case before entering the court (not prepare the G-28; don’t know which is our judge’s room; worst thing is not even know how to defense my case against government attorney). It was a nightmare. Because of her bad representation, the judge scheduled a second master hearing set for a half year later. This time I reached out to multiple attorneys and see who can help me terminate the court case. Before coming to Robert, all attorneys I have spoken with over the phone were all not confident with my case after I explained my case background. Someone even say that I can not get the green card at all. In addition, they all charge a consulting fee as well if I want to discuss more. I was so frustrated until I met with Robert. He has an hour in person free consultation which allows me to explain my case and get an idea of whether he has any solution on my case (for other attorneys, I need to pay first before I know they can not win my case).
Robert didn’t turn me down. After listening my story, he clearly listed several solutions/paths that I can try step by step. He was the first attorney that has confidence on my case. All his explanations were very convincing with strong professional knowledge backed up. My husband and I decided to go with him on my case.
On the court date he showed up well-prepared and arrived there early to signed us up first. Before the judge, he was very organized, precessional, powerful and confidently representing me and arguing with the government attorney. Robert exactly represent ed me the scene I can only see in those legal related movies that how a great attorney perfectly expressing legal opinions and defending with evidence. The judge immediately terminated my case and allowed me to file my I-485 with USCIS. Totally different court experience than last one. Things are not done yet. Robert helped me filed a request to reopen my I-485 with the USCIS because it was admin closed previously. Half year no response and Robert actively follow up with USCIS and also get ombudsman involved to help. After several times follow up, we have been informed that my old I-485 has been denied in USCIS system even if the notice they gave me is admin close. Robert then suggested us to file a new I-485 with USCIS but in the mean time still keeping follow up with the reopen one. When I think I may not getting any update within one year due to the current long processing time, good news comes. I received the interview letter regarding my I-485. My two cases has been combined which means all his effort on both reopen and new application are accepted by processed by USCIS. Before the interview, Robert gave us a phone interview preparation, went through every possible questions and helped me on how to answer my previous court case questions. With his assistance, our interview went very well and the immigration office verbally approved my case. Two weeks later I received my then years green card! This is the first time I wrote such a long review. Robert is a really good attorney and I really
