Scam Alert!!

I contacted Gabriel Jack because I got my form I-751 denied by the USCIS in December 2023. During the consultation, he showed me that he was greatly motivated and interested in helping me with the case. I also told him that many lawyer refused to take the case because they didn't think it's a good ...case. However, he LITERALLY said, " Don't worry, I have my folks in USCIS San Jose office." - I can confront him- . I don't think the USCIS is corrupted, but honestly, these are the exact words he said. He also told me other things that are not true. For example: when I asked him to apply for a work permit because I worked as an independent contractor and I needed to sign contracts with companies, in order to make a living pending the case, he replied, " As far as I know , you still have your green card and you can still use it. " He said that even though he has a copy of the USCIS denial letter on file and when I confronted him, he literally said, " I apologize , I misspoke." We all know that had I believed him, I'd be in prison now. Actually, I've concluded 2 things from this situation. One of them is worse than the other; 1-The first possibility is that Gabriel Jack is not aware that when form I-751 gets denied, the person loses his/her green card or legal residence and hence the right to work. 2- The second possibility is that he knew that I became illegal and he didn't care about me committing fraud and going to prison! After I paid the $5500 and the USCIS fees for motion to reopen, Gabriel and his staff stopped replying to my emails , and when Mr Gabriel replied after over a month, instead of being apologetic for the late reply, he was very upset with me. Furthermore, the lawyers that I've consulted with were surprised that he didn't file a privacy Act form/ freedom of information form to get the exact reason why the USCIS denied my form I-751 . A lawyer told me that Gabriel should have submitted the privacy Act form before the I-290B / motion to reopen, because if the immigration officer thinks I had a sham / fraudulent marriage, there's NO POINT in doing the motion to reopen, and it would only be a waste of money and time and I should look for other immigration options. I-290B OR MOTION TO REOPEN GOT DENIED ON AUGUST 16TH 2024. Gabriel Jack charged me $5500 to file form I-290B / Motion to Reopen. He knew that filing motion to reopen without any supporting evidence, affidavits, or even a written story ALWAYS GETS DENIED. Consequently, my motion to reopen got denied! I think that Gabriel did that because when the USCIS denies the motion to reopen, the case OFFICIALLY ends, which exactly what happened, and therefore, he'd get $5500 that he didn't work for, easy money!! I believe in the American justice, and I believe that someday he'll pay for what he did to me and to many other immigrants! When I talked to him on the phone, he said , " I'm not perfect. I lose cases sometimes, so stop bothering me!" Gabriel Jack charged me over $5500 , and I never met him or any one of his staff in person. We never talked about the case. That's a breach of the contract that he signed with me. I really want him to pay for what he did to me. Also... I'm sure that I'm not his only victim. He must've done that to many other poor, defenseless immigrants , especially the ones who don't speak English. I honestly don't think his 5-star reviews are real. People can buy fake reviews nowadays, unfortunately! Now I'm facing deportation because when form I-290B gets denied, the person has only 15 days to appeal, and neither Jack nor his staff warned me about the deadline. I think he's purposely and intentionally ruined my immigration case. Due to his negligence, I'll have to live without a green card for at least 3 more years. How am I supposed to pay my rent, medical bills, and my other expenses!

NO RECOMIENDO A ESTE "ABOGADO"

ESTE SEÑOR GABRIEL TOMO MI CASO, Y LE PAGUE $4,000 (CUATRO MIL DLLS). PERO YA QUE SE LOS PAGUE ME DIJO HACE UNOS DIAS QUE MI CASO NO ERA FUERTE, Y QUE NO CALIFICABA, LE PREGUNTE PORQUE HASTA AHORA ME DECIA ESTO, PERO QUE SI EL NO PODIA LLEVAR MI CASO ENTONCES QUE ME DEVOLVIERA TODA MI INFORMACION Y... MI DINERO, EL CASO QUE HOY ME PRESENTE EN SU OFICINA Y ME VIOLENTO CON PALABRAS FUERTES QUE ME SALIERA DE SU OFICINA, QUE EL NO ME IBA A REGRESAR NADA, LE DIJE QUE YO ESTOY ENFEEMA Y QUE NO QUERIA PROBLEMAS QUE SOLO ME REGRESARA $2,000 Y DIJO QUE NO, QUE NO ME IVA A REGRESAR NADA Y ME QUISO AGARRAR PARA SACARME DELANTE DE MI HIJA DE 10 AÑOS, MI HIJA ESTABA ASUSTADA Y YO TAMBIEN PORQUE PENSE QUE ME IVA A ATACAR, LE FIJE QUE NO SE ATREVIERA A TOCARME Y ME AMENAZO CON LLAMAR A LA POLICIA, EN ESO LLEGARON SUS CKIENTES Y LOS METIO A SU OFICINA Y ME SEGUIA DICIENDO QUE ME FUERA QUE NO TENIA TIEMPO PARA SEGUIRLO PERDIENDO, YO ESPERE A QUE SALIERAN SUS CLIENTES Y LE DIJE QUE POR FAVOR ME DIERA MIS DOCUMENTOS Y DIJO QUE NO ME IVA A DAR NADA, APAGO LA LUZ Y SENTI MAS TEMOR Y ME SALI CON MI HIJA, LE DIJE QUE MAÑANA REGRESABA Y ME DIJO QUE SI VOLVIA IVA HECHARME A LA POLICIA. Y SE FUE. EL PROBLEMA COMENZO DESDE QUE CANCELE EL TRAMITE DE MI DIVORCIO CON SU AMIGO QUE EL ME RECOMENDO EL ABOGADO BOBBY LAW, EL CUAL ME ESTADO CON $3,000 DLLS Y SALIO A FAVOR DE MI EX ESPOSO POR ESO NO QUISE MAS TRATO CON BOBBY LAW. GABRIEL SE OFRECIO DE INTERPRETE Y ME HICIERON UNA LLAMADA DE 3 LINEAS, A LO CUAL NO ME PIDIERON PERMISO DE HABLAR LOS 3, Y NO LO SENTI PROFESIONAL PORQUE CADA UNO TENIA QUE HABLAR CONMIGO INDIVIDUALMENTE DE ACUERDO AL CASO QUE TENIA CON CADA UNO, Y GABRIEL MEZCLO LOS DOS CASOS EN ESA LLAMADA, Y ME SENTI INTIMIDADA POR ELLOS.... ESTO HA SIDO UNA VIOLENCIA PSICOLOGICA Y SE QUE LAS LEYES DE ESTE PAIS ME AMPARAN Y QUE HARE ALGO AL RESPECTO CON ESTOS DOS ABOGADOS PARA QUE NO PASEN POR LO MISMO OTRAS PERSONAS. POR FAVOR NO LO RECOMIENDEN, YO TENGO PRUEBAS DE LO QUE DIGO PARA CUANDO EL LO QUIERA NEGAR. NO ESCRIBI TODO DETALLADAMENTE, ME SIENTO MUY MAL, ME AFECTO LA VIOLENCIA DE ESTA PERSONA HACIA MI PERSONA.

My hero

Un día mi esposo me dijo, amor tenemos una cita con un abogado se llama Gabriel y nos puede ayudar Le dije ok. tuvimos la entrevista con el, iba un poco nerviosa porqué mi Inglés no es muy bueno, pero el habla muy bién Español me hizo unas preguntas, me dijo si le puedo ayudar, la cita con inmigr...ación sería en cuidad Juarez, pero usted no tiene qué salir del País hasta el día de la entrevista, en caso qué por alguna razón no le dieran la visa para entrar a los Estados Unidos, yo peleo su caso por el mismo dinero, hasta qué le den su visa para regresar. Dije wow! De verdad? No lo podía creer y lo digo porqué leí un comentario dónde dice qué el abogado cometiô un error y no puso el num. De teléfono, por eso no se pudierón contactar a su trabajo qué jamas el abogado le contestó ni le regresó su dinero. Esa persona está mintiendo, yo fuí una de las personas qué constantemente llamaba a cada rato y todo el tiempo contestarón mis dudas, son exesivamente amables, sobre todo su asistente Jessica, hace un año agarré mi greend card, y hace aproximadamente una semana le mandé un mensaje a su asistente para preguntar si es seguro salir del País, me contestó imediatamente, y ya no es mi abogado, ya no le estoy pagando sin embargo ellos todavía tienen la gentileza de contestar los mensajes..... Yo voy a estar eternamente agradecida a Gabriel D. Jack por el gran trabajo qué hizo, es realmente un profesional, amable y sobre todo un gran ser humano. Jack & Jessica DIOS LOS BENDIGA SIEMPRE y gracías por todo lo qué hicierón por mi. con cariño y respeto IRMA.
