10+ years with John working on my husbands immigration case with no resolve

My husband’s immigration case is still ongoing as it has been over 10+ years. We have spoken with other attorneys, and they cannot believe this case is still ongoing. At several attorneys suggestions, with the money that has been spent, it would not be financially feasible to start over. Every t...ime we phone Mr. Coates for updates, he says he is to busy and for us to call later. There have not been much improvements or resolution with the case. We have spent several thousands of dollars, for my husband to not be able to move forward to becoming a citizen. Mr. Coates has not been a reliable immigration attorney for us, we hope this review will help others. This has been a terrible situation dealing with Mr. Coates and my husband just wants to be able to move toward becoming a US citizen.
