After the denial of my I-130, I had a deadline of Sept 10, 2020 to file an appeal. I paid full and submitted all documents Areola requested before the end of August 2020 but he did not submit the appeal until April 19. 2021 (7 months after the deadline). Whenever I called to let him know that I did not get a receipt from USCIS, he just said "I sent it, no problem". He also did not send important document "a brief in support of the appeal". After almost 4 years of delay and time wasted, DHS requested that the Board should dismiss my case.
I am writing this review because I’m very disappointed with how Mr. Areola has treated me. After helping me finalize my divorce additional paper work was supposed to be filed in order to complete the case. I have contacted Areola & Associates on numerous occasions and have not gotten any feedback. Mr. Areola doesn’t reply to any means of communication and claims to always be busy. He was paid in full January of 2016 for his services. I would not recommend him to anyone because he did not complete his end of the agreement.
