Immigration Attroneys

Guys,

As you will see from my feedback and timeline my journey has been a jumble. Be very selective to pick a attorney (if you are going to have one). It's very handy to have an attorney, it helped us allot with documents writing etc BUT she was a completed B.!.T.C.H. I monitored everything she did. Even resisted when she said don't call NVC, I ignored this and good thing I did. To date, she hasn't even followed up if I have received my visa of not.

We paid a total of $1,750. I mean it was good I hired a attorney, but this women is rubbish!! I have sent a huge complaint letter to her boss.

It sounds like more of a $1,750 case for NOT hiring a attorney!

Hey guys,

regarding the above, i sent a complaint letter to the firm that the lawyer works for. Will this effect my application to remove conditions on my visa? I may be paranoid, but I don't know with immigration attorneys have any 'back end' connections with government officials, so that they may be able to influence my case?

Im not a lawyer, but work for a law firm. Filing a complaint will not affect your application in my opinion. If as a result of your complaint this attorney makes an attempt to intefere with your application, that would be grounds for disciplinary action with your state's bar association, and I doubt she wants to risk that type of investigation on her reg. number. Its also messing with a federal agency which would cost her alot and I seriously doubt she would consider any type of retaliation. Attorneys are service providers. If she provided cruddy service, that YOU paid for, then its your right and even obligation to make your complaint! I say good for you for making the complaint and dont worry a bit!

I paid $1000 before for nothing..i know i sign and a non refundable agreement before I hire them for they sound they can do my immigration thing..but after i pay them and talk to the lawyer they assigned to my case I was shocked when she just know about K3 and dont know about CR1 since i want a CR1 i told them to return my money back for i will search and handle my immigration proecessing myself than hiring this firm that is not updated the immigration thing...but sad to say i never get my money back...and now im doing our immigration ourself...thanks to this forum this is really a relief for the immigration processing.

Thanks for that. I was worried about it. I'm hoping to file for removal of condition next year, just prior to my one anniversary of getting my visa. Yes, the attorney was a completed b.i.t.c.h. I'm just 'happy' that I was unemployed for 4 months, I screened everything she did. She obviously took on the case cause she thought she'd not have to work on it and it'll be easy money. I wonder what action will be taken against her, if any?

Who did you hire? Can you tell us?

I paid 4000 dollars to this immigration lawyer out of Seattle. He cahsed my check in December '09. He hasn't file a single paper work as of today. I feel that whatever he is doing must be a fraud but the paper says 4000 dollars are nonrefundable. So there is nothing I can do about it. Being a immigration lawyer must be a greatest money making schme. They take money upfront but not obligated to do anything that they got paid for.

Unfortunate I can't disclose who I hired and from which company, as I could be sued. I've sent a letter of complaint, I should receive a reply by next week I have bee told. It will be intriguing to read the letter. I doubt the attorney got no more than a slap on the wrist.....

But the way she preformed was VERY poor

Was the company in the usa? Are they a large business? Where in the usa are they located? It would be nice, if we could be told so we would not use the same lawyer

Yes in USA, in state of Missouri - that's all I can disclose. Medium not cooperate business

I know the feeling. I paid $1800 to an attorney that set my case back 3 months. He also made no less than 10 mistakes that I corrected him on thanks to this website.

Well I have an attorney horror story. We went through ICS (John Lee Carrico) in Las Vegas... they took our $3600 and filed the I-130 and ended up spelling canada wrong on it AND put my husband down as my son..every bit of filing was a hassle, it took 2 years just to finally ALMOST get to the NVC... then right as we were getting to that phase, my husband moved to a different state, went to go and pick our file up from their offices, and BOOM they had vanished. No forewarding address on the door, the phone number we had for them was disconnected.

I googled them the other day and saw they are back up and running, called to see if we could get our money back. And happily for them, it turns out that in order to continue without them we had to write a letter to the NVC to say that we had "fired" our attorneys. This letter technically let them off. So that was $3600 down the drain, never to be seen again. We are now 3 and a half years into this process, and FINALLY Im waiting for my visa from montreal......

DO IT YOURSELF!! And if you need an immigration attorney.. STAY AWAY FROM JOHN LEE CARRICO!!!
