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.

Kindest Regards
You guys are the best. I have recommended you to my friends. You kept to your words about when you think my husband would get his visa and it came to pass as you had said. I am so excited because I was so worried that there might be problems, but your good office took care of everything. You are ...

Replied last August 23, 2012Simply 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.

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.

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.
