Gabriel Leyba was my lawyer. He processed my green card under EB1 "outstanding researcher". This is my experience: He was my assigned lawyer in Pope Associates Firm. Although Pope Associates did not have experience on EB1 category, I decided to go with them since their cost was affordable to me. I had seen a ACS webinar (American Chemical Society) about green cards in this category; so, I had a very good idea what I needed to do. At the beginning , I was not impressed on Gabriel when he was working for Pope Associates. It seems he just didn't have time to look in details my case. USCISS needed more evidence after submitting my application in September 2012; and they gave me a deadline to resubmit my application. Around 1-2 months before the deadline, Gabriel told me he was leaving the firm. I needed to decide to stay with him or with Pope Associates. I decided to go with him simply because he knew all my case. Once he was on his own, I saw a complete change. He was really taking care of my case, and gave me good suggestions to have more evidence. He also didn't charge me more which was very nice on him. I just had to pay him the remaining money that I owed to Pope Associates. He also gave me a copy of all the documents that we submitted to the USCISS. Finally, he wrote a wonderful 10 pages letter about my case after I gave him all my information. At the end, I got the green card without any problem. Even though he didn't have experience on EB1, he did an excellent job.
