I got lucky

There are not many things to go on when choosing a law firm. It is almost a guessing game. But my wife and I consider ourselves lucky when we chose Lolly and Associates. They got my wife's fiancé visa and both her two year and 10 year Green Cards all without a hitch. Everything was easy and effic...ient. They even helped me with information on our son born in the Philippines. Highly recommended.

Barry, Thank you. I'm glad that your family is doing well. When choosing an attorney it helps to ask for credentials, including licensing information. There are many resources about the attorney that are easy to get at so asking the attorney for credentials is a very quick starting point to conduct a review. I don't offer my credentials unless asked, but I am glad to offer upon request.

THE NUMBER ONE LAW FIRM TO RETAIN IF YOU WANT ANY IMMIGRATION ISSUES RESOLVED

In a word: Outstanding. I retained you for Anamie’s Fiancée K-1 Visa in July 2010 and we are now at the end of the road on December 13, 2014. Anamie is a U.S. citizen. Your firm completed each and every step along this journey professionally and in an organized manner. Any time I had a question ...for either you or Tami during this four and a half year period, your reply was prompt, courteous and, most of the times, comforting since many of my questions dealt with issues that caused me stress. Without the thorough preparation of Tami and other staff at your firm, this process would not have been completed smoothly, effortlessly, and in such a timely manner. Thank you.

Job Well Done

Two and One Half Months from inception to my wife receiving her green card!! The process went smoothly from day one and both Allan and Taylor were both professional and knowledgeable. All questions were answered and the admin was flawless. I encourage anyone who may require an immigration attorney to... reach out to Allan Lolly and his team. Great work ladies and gentlemen!

Thank you Allan and Taylor!!!

Back in 2009 me and my wife were just two very young persons who loved each other but just belonged to two different country. Back then we couldn't understand why it had to be so hard to just wanted to leave together and have to deal with "immigration" issues, it was very hard to think about being s...eparated because of something we could just not understand. We made some research on line and found Allan and Lolly Associates, the expert on family immigration and K1 visa. We called the number and we were surprised right the way on how quick the response was, being able to talk to the lawyer on the first call and listening to his explanations on how the process was going to be was just what we needed, we were starting to build hope and decided to go ahead with him. Offcourse those kind of process requires some time and patience and commitment and many documents has to be submitted but with the help of an attorney everything is more clear and secure. Allan and his assistant Taylor were in touch with us continuously and answered every questions or doubt we had in within 24 hrs, we traveled cross different countries and still Taylor and Allan "followed" our process very close, putting up with address changes and such , after putting together all the necessary documents they were able to grant us an interview for K1 visa, while we were living in Mexico, and I am from Italy and my wife American. With their professional help and deep knowledge of immigration law we were able to pass interviews and immigration hard procedure with no issue what so ever. We were granted a K1 visa within 10 months since we apply, and that in a foreign different country where we were actually coming from. For the first time after a long time we finally crossed the border on a fiancée visa and were able to get married. We were so thankful for all their help and we decided to hire them for the green card process. Every single step of that process was handled with care and passion and professionalism , they truly cared about our case and gave us the right advices along with the best support in filling out paperworks and guide us trough the jungle of immigration procedures . Shortly after I received my temporary green card and offcourse kept Allan and lolly for the removal of status and request for permanent residence. Once again they didn't let us down and the relation between us and them grow along with their professionality and care. I receivedy permanent green card shortly after, meanwhile all my worries , doubt and just simple questions were taken care of by Taylor who gave me peace of mind in numerous occasions and will never thank her enough for all the help she have me. I do know that is their job but I can also guarantee that they do it with passion and care and that truly understand delicate situations . Their help changed my life for the good and for good , I don't even wanna think what would have happened if I had chose a different attorney. , I heard so many scary story about people being played by sharks attorney... Allan and Lolly are HONEST, DEDICATED and HUMAN, you will always be able to ask a question, you will have your answer always and quick, you will have what you applying for because Allan is highly professional and will tell you Right the way what your position is and will be. Do yourself and your dears a favor and choose peace of mind and honesty and choose Allan! Allan and Taylor thank you so much for all you have done for me and my wife , with their help I became an American citizen, they help me trough the final step of this long journey and all along I felt protected by the care and humanity of Allan and Lolly associates! Sincerely Paolo:)

K1/K2 Visa Perfection

K1/K2 Visa All I can say is: If you need an immigration attorney use these folks. Upfront - no surprises - you will be very pleased with their level of service and professionalism. They guided me every step of the way. A K1 Visa is slow and painful. It's not worth making a single, 2 month (or w...orse) mistake trying to do this yourself. Very very pleased with all they did for me.
