I contacted MetLife to remove this guy. I was referred to Aaron Ogletree and he was very unprofessional!Ignored my calls and texts.He did absolutely Nothing to Help Me so Do Not waste your money on this guy.If I could've given him a minus 1 star I would have.

Horrible experience with them. They denied service after my payment and didn't even pay back the amount for a month in-spite of asking them multiple times. I had to go through my bank to get my money back.

They wont even notify when your I-94 is going to expire. If your employer has hired them then unfortunately you will have to be on top of everything. I would say getting an external immigration firm would be required so you get legal advice on time.
