Excellent experience working with Shervin and his team.

It is a pleasure working with attorney Shervin Abachi. He and his team provided excellent guidance throughout the process of our O1 Visa petitions. He detailed all requirements which helped our preparation of main and supporting documents in a manner which truly represent our qualification to fulfil ...the criteria. He was quick in his response to our queries. His organisation of all documents were very professional and he and his team helped through every step so that the applications stood as true representative of us. He has represented us successfully on more than one occasion. His experience and knowledge in immigration matters is commendable.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

My friend, who applied for the same visa as I did, referred me to Shervin about a year ago. During our free consultation, he shared so many helpful tips on how to prepare for my visa application, even before I officially hired him. That level of generosity and professionalism made me trust him right ...away, so I decided to work with him. Shervin is extremely communicative and responsive. I tend to get anxious and worry about every little detail, but he was always patient, reassuring, and supportive throughout the entire process. We unfortunately received an RFE (which is fairly common), but Shervin was incredibly prepared and dedicated. His thorough and well-organized response to USCIS led to my visa approval! Throughout the whole process, I never had a single doubt about his work. When it’s time to apply for my green card or renew my visa, I’ll definitely be working with Shervin again.

Exceptional Experience with my O-1A Visa Process

I’m a former professional tennis player, now working as a coach while still competing in racquet sports. From day one, during our consultation, Shervin gave me the confidence I needed. His professionalism and clear communication made me immediately decide to move forward with him for my O-1A visa cas...e. The entire process was smooth and transparent. Shervin and his team were always responsive, organized, and clear about what was needed from me. Every time I had a question, Shervin himself took the time to respond directly. He’s not only a great attorney but also an empathetic and genuine person who truly cares about his clients. We just received the approval of my case, and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Shervin and his team to anyone looking for an outstanding immigration attorney. Without a doubt, I’ll hire him again if I ever need assistance with another visa in the future.

Smooth application process!

Shervin and his team were incredibly communicative, calm and collected during my application process for the O-1 visa. Incredibly fast responses to any question I had and a very logical approach. I felt very supported by him and his whole team

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m very glad your O-1B visa was approved following our comprehensive response to the RFE. Your exceptional achievements as an actress truly spoke for themselves and did not go unnoticed. It was a pleasure guiding you through the process, and I’m pleased to know you felt supported and informed along the way. Wishing you continued success as you build on this well-deserved recognition.

couldn’t have wished for a better attorney!

I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better attorney than Shervin! I was a bit nervous before starting the process since everything felt very overwhelming, but he made the O-1 process clear and manageable, always taking the time to answer my questions with patience and calm. Everything was handle...d smoothly and professionally, and my O-1 got approved right away. I felt supported every step of the way and really appreciated how approachable and communicative he was. In a nutshell, I highly recommend Shervin!
