Marriage Visa

This review is long over due and for that I apologize to Allen Scott Lolly and Taylor. I first came in contact with Allan Lolly June 15, 2012 when my husband was denied his visa from the Nigerian Embassy. I was not really trusting of lawyers plus had money constraints which was why I decided to do... my husbands paperwork myself in the beginning. It was upsetting for me to not only learn that they were trying to deny my husbands visa but were trying to revoke his whole application by claiming that our marriage was a sham. Their reason for claiming it was a sham was because we met on a dating site and I didn't wear a wedding dress. When I contacted Allen he was very attentive and listened to all that I had to say. He explained what was needed for my situation which was kind of hard to do because I was so emotional at the time. He really was patient with me and helped me to understand that although my emotions were involved, at this point what was needed was to plan an attack from a legal aspect and he was totally right. It took a whole year for the USCIS to contact me regarding my husbands denial letter and revocation of my husbands visa from May 2012-2013 at which time they said if we didn't respond within 30 days to the allegations then his application would be revoked. However, the time I received the letter we actually had less than a month to get all of the documentation together and sent to them. We only had three weeks when I received their letter. Basically we would have to start all over again from step one if my husband was revoked. We had initially started our application in 2010 after getting married in June it was now May of 2013 and they were trying to make us go back to square one. With this shortened time period and with Allen and his associates we managed to get all the documents and briefs together within the time limit. I have to say I was on pins and needles this whole time period because I didn't want to start all over again. I am happy to say December 6, 2013 my husband received an email confirming another appointment at the Lagos Embassy for and interview. He received his visa on January 2, 2014 and I am happy to say will be with me here in the United States on March 24, 2014. Thank you so much Allen Lolly I will be contacting you again in the future for any and all immigration needs. Your company was both very understanding and timely in everything that they did and assisted me with and for that I am so grateful. I was really new to all of this immigration run a round and documentation but you were very helpful in explaining to me step by step what the process was and what the outcomes could be or could not be. I appreciate your honesty and your candor in all you did for me and my husband. This write up in know way covers all that you and your associates have done, you have gone above and beyond for the both of us and for that we are both very thankful and grateful to you. I highly recommend this firm to all.

Successful CR1 Immigration Process (Montreal)

My wife (U.S. Citizen) and I (Canadian P.R.) just completed a successful spousal visa (CR1) process through the Montreal Consulate. I only have praise for Mr. Lolly's and his staff for their professionalism and for being so helpful and knowledgeable during this process. We started off our CR1 jou...rney with a very frank conversation where we laid out a work plan that we adjusted as we moved along. Allan was always eager to listen to our situation and we adjusted our plans based on the observations we had. He was always handy to answer our questions and we appreciated how he analyzed them, and provided frank straight-to-the point answers. That is what my wife and I needed as we relied on his legal immigration knowledge and advice. Tami, the case manager that he assigned to us, was and is a great professional. She worked with us side by side and guided us through the complex documentation requirements for our immigration process. Our communication with Allan Lolly and his staff has always been fluid, helpful, and prompt. Their answers and guidance contributed to reduce the natural anxiety and uncertainty that naturally comes associated with immigration procedures. If you are reading this review, I can tell you by my experience and that of my wife that we are completely satisfied with the service that we received, the fair price, the professionalism, communication, and above all the effectiveness that resulted out of all this. I am joining my wife in NY very soon (March 2014) and having people like Allan, and Tami on our side made our journey more satisfactory. Please do your homework: invest the time to collect documentation, follow the instructions that you receive, communicate respectfully and efficiently, and ask questions. That is what we did with Allan and Tami and the positive results that we obtained speak for themselves. These are the reasons why we are writing this review and we wish you success in your own journey!

Jorge, Thank you!!! I especially liked the part about even communication and asking thoughtful questions as needed. I'm here to help. Immigration is an emotional roller coaster for clients, but the actual decisions need to be strategic to increase chances of success. It's more like having a chess game with the government than simply reacting to events. I wish you both well. Kind regards, Allan

Terrific! Highly recommendable. Conditional "green card".

Allan Lolly and Taylor Collins helped us in the process of receiving my conditional permanent resident status after I (German) got married to my husband (US). Everything worked out great from the start: Only a few hours after we've sent an e-mail to Allan Lolly's office in order to get some informa...tion and a quote, Allan personally called us to get a better view of our case (most of the lawyers we contacted, did not even get back or only months later). His professionalism and detailed explanations, just on this first phone call, convinced us, he would be the right choice and made us hire him. Our expectations even got exceeded. Taylor was in charge for us and prepared all the paperwork absolutely perfect and very detail-oriented, I guess, that is what counts in matters like these. The e-mail-correspondence was professional during the entire process, every update from the USCIS got communicated right away (not one single day delayed). And everything always got explained (while Taylor was on vacation, Cynthia did a wonderful job here, too!). Short-term requests from our side were resolved by Taylor immediately. Only 2 month after filing date, I received EAD and AP and two weeks later the conditional "green card". Much earlier then we ever anticipated. Thank you Allan and Team for the great work! I will definitely hire Allan Lolly again for removal of the conditional status.
