MOST IMPRESSED

My soon-to-be wife communicated that the American embassy official in Moscow was 'most impressed' when he recognized that preparation of the documents for her interview were on your law firm's letterhead. All was in order and her interview in Russian language lasted only 5 minutes before the K-1 vis...a approval was granted. I appreciate your firm's professionalism and experience."

Steve, Thank you. I appreciate your words and support. The key is to have a good set of documents, beginning with initial filings and throughout case processing, then have your fiancee be prepared. If the consulate officer believes the case has merit, the interview should be quick. Everyone is busy, so there is no reason to dwell upon a case that is ready to go. I hope all is well with you and your family. Best regards, Allan

Excellent Service

We just got our K-1 approval. We cannot thank Attorney Lolly enough for all of his hard work and support. He was patient and kind through our constant questions. He was our life-line through the process during the many times when we were overwhelmed, confused or in a panic. The government paperwork a...nd requirements were often baffling, but Attorney Lolly always calmed us down and helped us to navigate through. We appreciated his assistance very much and feel very grateful.

Wonderful Services

I have had an excellent experience with this firm. Although the government has complicated our process a bit, wrongly closing our I-129F petition, Allan S. Lolly and Associates managed to get the USCIS to reopen it. The firm was also willing to complete the whole CR1 process for us at no further char...ge, other than the government application fees, even though it wasn't even their fault our I-129F was closed in the first place. I can't imagine how I would've gotten through all this mess on my own. I'll update this review further once we've received our visa, which I have confidence we will receive given how Allan's firm has gotten us this far. Thank you Allan!

K1 Fiance Visa

I Hired Allan for a K1 Fiance visa at first they were so nice untill they received their money and my fiance was denied visa due to not acting fast on out behalf we lost the visa and they closed our case. After that we never heared from Allan and his staff any more and was told sorry to hear your vi...sa was denied--so all that I paid for the laire wyer went down the drain. Other lawyers will refund you if they can't help you---Allan took the money and forgot us. Now I have to hire another lawyer to help us and pick up where Allan left us hangenning. After one year and a half I'm still waiting for my fiance to get approved no luck yet. We have to file again and come up with more money that we don't have---I hope some one will read this and help us I don't have any more money not even for uscis to file again. I will never recommend Allan Lolly to help you bring your fiance to usa cause they will not act fast on your behalf and make you do all the work for them--all Allan staff do is fill out the forms for you as you can do that your self for free He is all talk no action.

Simply untrue. I have special expertise regarding visa refusals, including filing suit. There is much more to this case than stated above. This person is upset and acting out.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
