Best lawyer I have ever worked with.

I would recommend Allan to anyone who needs immigration help. He is very knowledgeable, experience and he only charges a reasonable fee. I feel he worth single penny that I paid for and I am grateful to have him by my side on my GC journey. Also, his team is very friendly and sufficient. I had a quit...e complicated case and Allan walked me through all the possibilities and outcomes, my GC was approved all because of his effort. Hiring Allan as my lawyer is the best decision that I made since I came to the USA.

Allan and his team helped us navigate the immigration process successfully

My husband and I sought Allan Lolly's services in 2017 for adjustment of status and permanent residency application with my husband as the petitioner and me as the beneficiary. We first contacted Allan via email and he was very responsive and took the time to write back to us considerate emails even ...before we hired his firm. After establishing the attorney-client relationship, his senior paralegal, Taylor Collins, managed our case. She was very helpful, always responsive, and specific about all of our questions and concerns. Our case was relatively straight forward, I was in status on F1 Visa and we already had a child together with my husband, which likely showed that our marriage was based on merit. Even in an uncomplicated case like ours, there was a ton of paperwork and multiple filings involved and Taylor helped us navigate the process, filled out several /filed several forms on our behalf. Our case took a bit longer than expected since we moved to another state after the initial filing and waited for our case to transfer to the current state's USCIS field office. We finally had our interview early this week and our case was immediately approved. I am thankful for Allan's help and it has been great working with Taylor. I strongly recommend their services.

Excellent experience!

We cannot put into words how grateful we are for all that the firm did to help us during this process. From the K1 visa to the green card, they were amazing. Allan is an outstanding attorney and Taylor is certainly a shining star. She was helpful, understanding and knowledgeable. The process on its o...wn is stressful enough but this firm really answered all of our questions and eased our stress. Although there are no guarantees with the process, we truly felt like this firm put us in the best position to be successful and we were!

C1/d, c1 visa

My husband had a tough case and he really didn’t want to proceed with changing his status but I insisted. We cannot be more grateful with this law firm! Allan and Tami were on top of he case they informed us of all out options and were quick to respond and act on the case. My husband had a c1/d visa ...and c1. It was such a stressful one year and 2 months and yesterday we received the notice that my husband green card was approved! They told us that because his case was difficult it could take from 6 months to a year to finalize and get the green card. We went through everything being denied, through an appeal, to finally his work authorization being approved and 3 months later a tough interview that left us in tears, and left the uscis office thinking we lost, we waited 2 months and finally got the good news! Allan and Tami answered every question and answered every email promptly even on holidays. We highly recommend them. This case was tough and they got us what they promised! Thank you �

Immigration for wife without a country of birth!

We want to send a HUGE thank you to Allan and his staff. My wife is AKHA and born without a country or written proof of birth. With Allan and his staff's help, my wife is now a permanent resident of the USA and carries a "green card" in her purse. They worked with us every step of the way and com...municated with us, almost on a daily basis, for many, many months to get her into the USA. It was a big problem and we want to thank Allan and his staff all for their help in this real challenge of immigration!
