Posted by Perla | January 18, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Immigration

Wasted 2 years and thousands of dollars

Hired Paola as immigration attorney for my mother. My brother was military and should have been a quick process. Paola never filed anything, set up immigration appointments and didn’t show up, my mother was sent away by immigration saying she was not in the system. This went on for 2 years. It was a... mess trying to obtain paperwork and refund. Would not recommend to anyone.

Perla - I understand the frustration your family had with my office along with the timeframe to receive a copy of your file and a refund. I agree this could have been addressed more professionally. Out of the $3,450 that was paid for legal services such funds applied towards the filing fees for an I-130 petition for both parents which totaled $1,070. Out of those funds, $2,730 was returned last January 2023 with the amount of $720 retained to cover partial cost of filing fees. I offered to incur the remaining difference due to the experience your family had. With other matters, we could not proceed with one of the applications which I cannot disclose here. I also show that one of my Associate Attorneys appeared at one appointment with no result and I appeared at another appointment. The case for your parents could have been handled differently and your family experienced lost time. I do hope that all is in final process for your family now and wish your family the best outcome. If there are other concerns that still need to be addressed, please email me at [email protected]. Sincere regards, Paola M. Alvarez
