Jesus Manuel Ruiz-Velasco

I will start off by saying that I chose this lawyer because I thought he was trustworthy since he helped someone I know get their green card. The initial consultation went well and he said I was good to go with the process. This was in July of 2019 that I signed the contract with him. They took month...s to send the first application which a friend of mine who is a paralegal said those applications do not take that long to prepare. Immigration approved the application about 4 months after they sent it last year in 2020. After that the next part of the process was next, the I601A application which they kept telling me was almost ready for like 7 months even took the NVC fee and it turns out the paralegal that was preparing my application didn’t work there anymore so my application wasn’t even finished after like 7-8 months. In February of 2021 he said he finally sent it and had me zelle him the $715 fee for the application. I have yet to receive the receipt & I called the USCIS to check what’s going on & they said they could not find anything in the system but that my lawyer should have a tracking number for the application so my wife called his office and they said they did not have a tracking number for it which is super sketchy. Though immigration is taking longer to send out receipts it’s been almost 90 days since he supposedly sent it and I’ve heard that’s way too long. At this point I’ve lost all credibility on him and highly doubt he sent my application. Took my $8,000 and now I’m left in limbo almost 2 years after starting the whole process .
