Twilight Zone

I read all the good reviews and am completely perplexed as to why I did not recieve the same excellent service. I could write a small novel regarding the things that were overlooked. But to be short , he did not care. For whatever reason he did not care enough not to keep from committing some mist...akes that are very fundamental to the process. Maybe he didn’t feel our case was worthyof the attention required to do it right . I have no idea. As a result, it was placed in what is known as “administrative processing “. If you don’t know what that is , it basically means the government is going to inspect your application with a fine tooth comb And very possibly issue a denial in the end. ... after making you wait for months on end. I’ve talked to some poor people in Administrative Processing that have waited well over a year. Our case was simple and straight forward. It was botched. Plain and simple I feel bad about this experience and even bad about myself that I was so naive not to see it sooner. It very well have cost us everything. Thanks for that

Dear Sir, I appreciate the comments made here. I always strive to make my clients happy and satisfied. I sincerely apologize that you ended up feeling unhappy and dissatisfied. Your K-1 visa petition went smoothly up until the interview, when consular officer placed your fiancee's case into administrative processing. Unfortunately there wasn't anything we could do to prevent the consular officer's decision regarding the Communist Party affiliation. Administrative processing is rare, but it has happened before. We cannot control the government in its decisions. Well before the interview when we became aware of the Communist Party affiliation I did explain to you that administrative processing could occur. I am sorry that it happened and I completely understand your frustration at the outcome. I also acknowledge that I had a system failure regarding your fiancee not coming prepared to her interview with your financial packet. This was an honest mistake, but fortunately this isn't something a consular officer would issue a substantive denial because of -- at worst it will create a short delay (a couple weeks probably -- nothing near the delay caused by administrative processing). In our situation we were able to catch the omission and mail the packet to the Embassy while the case remains in administrative processing. Although it was an oversight and a system failure of mine to remind her immediately before the interview to bring the financial packet, I did provide both you and your fiancee the Embassy instructions (in English and her native language) to prepare for the interview about a month before it occurred. The instructions included a detailed checklist of the items needed, including your tax return and W-2 (the I-134 is optional but is always a good idea to have). After preparing these items and placing them in my file ready to ship out, I believe the reason I forgot to remind her again to bring all items on the checklist to the interview was because of the Communist Party issue that had arisen -- my focus was on that. I again sincerely apologize that you came away feeling unhappy and dissatisfied. I believe your case will eventually succeed after the administrative processing is finalized. All the best to both of you! Kind regards, Brandon

Great service all around!

My wife and I were very pleased with the service and advice that Brandon gave to us throughout our green card application. We thought we were in a bit of a jam when we reached out to Brandon but he laid out everything that we needed to do to complete our application and everything turned out OK. He... was very easy to communicate with and always helpful in answering our many questions. We highly recommend Brandon's services!

Great green card experience

Brandon was very helpful throughout the process of applying for and receiving my spouse's green card. He gave detailed instructions and good quality advice regarding do's and don'ts, as well as how to prepare for our in-person interview with USCIS. He was also flexible with our busy schedules and m...ade it easy to chat with him via email and conference calls, rather than requiring in-person meetings at his office. Once we had the interview and my spouse was approved, we received the welcome letter and green card even faster than Brandon had suggested. It was great to have our expectations exceeded.

Green card

I widely recommend Brandon as an immigration attorney. During all the process in order to get my green card through the K1 visa, he was very organized and very professional, he answered all my questions in a timely and efficient manner. Brandon is definitely an experienced lawyer who can be trusted w...ith your immigration case. I am very grateful for all his help!
