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.

Professional

Allan, it never really hit me until we went to the interview- they actually deny these visas. We saw people being turned away and the atmosphere was tense. They would not let me into the consulate, so I waited outside. Your support gave us a psychological advantage. Everything was in order and my... fiancee was out the door approved. What a relief. Thank you!

K-1 Fiancée Visa

I would first like to say I am so glad that I did my research to find and hire Allan S. Lolly & Associates. I have heard of bad experiences with immigration attorneys where people are still waiting for their loved one abroad for over four years now. Some are even married, but living apart. I followe...d exactly what Allan S. Lolly & Associates told me and filed all the forms needed for the K-1 Fiancée Visa and 11 months later, my fiancée had her interview in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. It was a success! The Consulate in Ho Chi Minh is one of the most difficult in the world to acquire a visa. But with the guidance of Allan S. Lolly and Associates, it seemed almost seamless! I want to thank you Allan, Tami and your entire staff for always responding back to me so soon with my questions throughout. There is NO WAY I could have done this without your professional and caring service! And I will tell any and everyone that if they decide to bring a foreigner to the US to marry, then the only one here for them is "Allan S. Lolly & Associates"! Thank you again!

K1 Visa process

This was my first attempt at having a relationship outside the US. After debating several weeks whether or not I needed at lawyer, I decided to contact Mr. Lolly's office. I am glad I did. I work for the government and just having the peace of mind that if something goes wrong I had someone in which ...to turn. The paperwork was perfect, the advice was perfect, and being there when we had questions was perfect. This process has a lot of stress involved and having a lawyer in your pocket is worth every penny. Thank you and your staff. I would and maybe have to use this firm again. Thanks again.

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.
