About Allan
Biography
A former Assistant Attorney General, RMI, I have more than 20 years experience as an attorney.
I enjoy developing personal relationships with my clients. Immigrating family members can be a stressful experience. Success in case processing makes all the difference in the lives of each family. I want cases to proceed with as little stress as possible. I have an experienced staff. We all work together as a team.
Our firm is devoted entirely to family immigration matters. We have obtained more than 11,000 visas and green cards for fiancées, spouses and children, as well as IR visas for parents, through the USCIS and overseas consulates; stateside green card adjustment of status cases, including for foreigners in the U.S. undocumented or out of status; 601 and 212 bar waivers based on illegal entry, over stays, and certain crimes.

Issues with Allan Lolly
I hired beginning in Summer of 2008. Allan S. Lolly and associates (at the time Holmes & Lolly, but now Allan S. Lolly And Associates) to assist in obtaining a visa for my wife. Allan S. Lolly mishandled my case throughout the entire process. I would not recommend this firm to anyone.

Replied last March 22, 2011This former client already posted a negative review with Avvo 6 months ago. His recitation of the facts were disputed by this office and remain in dispute. This second, more recent posting can be for no purpose other than to attack. It is manipulative. Repeat negative comments like this run afoul of the spirit and intent of consumer feedback. One consumer, one comment. This posting is in bad faith.

Four Prior marriages to Philippinos!
I had been married three other times to Philippine Girls, I wanted to marry again! and knew it would be a very tough sell to get INS to give me a real chance yet again. I hired Mr. Lolly and his exacting standards, and attention to every detail... and amazing feel for what the INS officer would try t...

Replied last March 15, 2011Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. The immigration officer was skeptical about the sincerity of this relationship due to the age difference. I know the stress you were under because the relationship is serious. I am glad things worked out.

Extremely happy!
I'd just like to say a huge thank you to Allan Lolly and his staff for having handled my K1 visa application. I relocated from Australia to the US to marry my partner. I cannot speak highly enough about the professionalism and speed in which the process was handled and completed. We've been happily m...

Unreliable
I paid this firm a down payment of $600 to represent my fiancee and myself in the pursuance of a Fiancee Visa. The firm took my money and never delivered one bit of information to me. Thankfully, I thought to close my Master Card account before they took any more money from me. I am now in the pro...

Replied last August 23, 2012This comment is false. The client wanted to move quickly and paid a deposit on a Friday afternoon with the understanding that we would start that same afternoon so he could work over the weekend, a good arrangement. On Saturday, he complained that he did not receive our initial client packet on Friday after he paid the deposit. I offered to drive to the office with my assistant and get the packet out on Sunday morning and then investigate on Monday the problem. He responded by email to terminate services. On Monday, my assistant reported that she did in fact begin correspondence with the client on Friday as agreed and there was no bounce back. I felt there was enough effort on our part to show good faith and I wanted to speak by phone with the client. I did not feel there was just cause under the circumstance to terminate services and wanted to try and smooth things over. His response was to post comments like this in multiple places. There was no effort to take further monies and so the comment is false.

The Most Successful Immigration Attorney in the US
So many people told me it was crazy to marry a woman in Australia but we wanted to be together. The plan was for me to move there. Unfortunately, they did not accept me because I am over 45 years old. We decided to relocate my fiancee and her daughter to New York instead. Allan Lolly made this possi...
