Margaret Stock advised me on a fiance immigration ...
Margaret Stock advised me on a fiance immigration matter back in 2014. Paid $500 for a 90 minute phone call and an email because she was "the best." Her advice was accurate, but unimpressive. She advised me on a course of action, but I feel she left out advice that could have sped up the process. I ended up waiting 8 months for my then fiance's I-129F to be approved. Would have waited several more months if I hadn't disregarded Ms. Stock's advice in month 5 and requested help from my Congressman. Congressman's office was also able to get my then fiance's visa interview expedited. "No interview appointments available at the embassy for two months" suddenly became, "we can see you this week." For the price and the reputation, I expected the best. I ended up with mediocre. She did respond to an email months after the initial consultation and not charge me so I'll give her that. She also seems pretty knowledgeable, but I feel like the best would have known to ask for help from my Congressman. I had a sympathetic case. Active duty officer, previously stationed overseas in country of fiance's residence; separated from fiance and newborn child, etc. A better attorney would have known how to leverage those factors and who to contact in order to achieve the best outcome for her client.
