I went to different lawyers and other people who said they could get me a visa for this amount or that amount. But in the end they all took my money and I still didn’t have a work permit. Nothing was moving forward until I worked with this music producer and he thought it was time for me to get my papers. He introduced me to Humberto Gray. He took over. That was about three years ago. My entire family has received professional and personal legal representation. When I went to Humberto R.
