God was in our FAVOR!
Marco and I have helplessly been…read moredealing with USCIS (concerning our case) since 2012!!!!!! When we both relocated to Maryland after many false hopes and false immigration, "experts," we felt defeated. We were asking ourselves, "when will God give us victory in my husband's case." As time went on, my mom, who works at a local hospital, came across a patient that referred us to a resourceful immigration lawyer that could help our case.
Now let us fast forward to 2016/2017. Once we got the referral, we quickly jumped on it and visited this lawyer. After our initial visit, I felt there was some hope. As our case got going, the lawyer informed us that he would have another lawyer take the lead on our case. Marco and I were like, "here we go again"! Our case is being shuffled around the office. Now, here is the part our lives will forever change.
Once we sat and met this new lawyer, she introduced herself as Anna Porter. After feeling her vibe, scanning her degrees and credentials on the wall (this was big compared to what we've encountered in the past)- we thought that this could be the light we were searching for. Moreover, what solidified that this will work; she had her mother working there (if I'm not mistaken) and recently married. In our culture, seeing something like that signifies being family-oriented and a person that possibly can help an immigrant fight for what is right.
Then, in one visit, Anna dropped the bomb on us and said that she was moving to Texas and opening her immigration firm. Moreover, she provided an option of staying with the MD firm or coming along with her remotely. When she said that, my husband and I looked at each other and were like OMG!! Do we want to stay with the original firm, or do we want to go remotely with Anna? Mind you; we were in the "getting to know phase," so it was a tough decision for us to make. So, after careful thinking and going out on faith- we decided to go with The Porter Legal group family.
Once we got acclimated with them, we started to work with Anna's husband closely. And let say Randy was beyond exceptional!! He has so much poise, a good attitude, patience, and rich knowledge about the USCIS system. Once our case started flowing, Randy and the Porter Legal group saw us through upside-down interviews, ENDLESS ENDLESS, ENDLESS inquiries, ombudsman reach outs, repeat paperwork, and a LONG TIME COMING DEPORTATION REMOVAL! Which previous false immigration reps could not have done.
Now today, we leave this review to highlight, after many, many, many years (21 years to be exact)-even before 2012, I can express that NOW my husband has received his permanent resident status! He is finally a green card holder! All by the Grace of God and The Porter Legal group.
I leave this long review to highlight this-if you are someone that is in the immigration battle and is feeling defeated-STOP and turn the volume of negativity off. And crank the volume of faith up! That is what Marco and I did! No matter the hurdles and trials- we took the faith that day and went to The Porter Legal Group!!!
