Got my EB-1 petition approved on the 1st try

I was on an O-1 visa and looking to transition to an EB-1 and my current lawyer declined to take my case, saying I wasn't ready. I wanted a second opinion, and Shervin's firm was recommended by a friend who worked with them for his own EB-1. I sent my materials and Shervin got back to me saying he th...ought I had a good chance of getting it approved, which was encouraging - and I liked that he'd only charge half of the fee upfront and the rest only if he could get the case approved. I decided to move forward with him. The process was pretty painless; because I had two previous O-1 visa cases to work from (and I'm pretty organized with my evidence-keeping), Shervin and his team didn't need too much from me and they did a wonderful job putting the case together. There were no surprises money-wise, and I had very little feedback on the materials they sent. My only concern was that I was often not sure of the status of the case; more than once I was given a deadline that passed without updates. I was not in a rush, so I would've preferred being given longer deadlines and having those kept. We eventually filed, and the case was approved very quickly (faster than the expedited timeframe I paid for). Shervin called me himself to deliver the news. I was very happy with his work throughout, he is very knowledgeable of the process and I trusted him completely - and he delivered! He took a case that a different attorney (who had worked with me for years) declined, made it work, and did so without cutting any corners or charging me a premium. I would absolutely work with him again!

Trustworthy and Efficient

My experience with Shervin Abachi was perfect . He expertly guided me through the process of acquiring an O-1B visa for artists, providing me with steady support all the way. All I needed to do was gather the necessary paperwork and follow his advice. Shervin went the extra mile to ensure my applicat...ion was flawless. Without any requests for further evidence, my case was approved in just 22 days, without resorting to premium processing. I was so pleased with his work that I decided to hire him for my EB-1 case as well. Ever since I moved to the US, Shervin has been a pillar of support, not just in legal matters but also in my art-related pursuits. He's been instrumental in dealing with my art-related contracts, and his connections had a significant positive impact on my work. With his expertise and connections in the art world, I am confident that my EB-1 case will also be successful. I would highly recommend Shervin's services to anyone, particularly artists.

Creatives, you've found your representer.

As a composer, I was lucky enough to be introduced to the renowned Shervin, a specialist in the field with a long track record of success. It didn't take long for me to see his expertise; within three years, he had secured an O-1B visa, and my EB-1 filing was processed without a hitch. However, I was... later hit with an unwelcome Request for Evidence (RFE). I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure, but Shervin remained calm and put together a strong response that ultimately led to approval. The entire process was quick and efficient, and I am absolutely grateful for all the help I received. I was overjoyed to hear that my Green Card had been accepted and would arrive soon. It's time to celebrate! If you are a composer or musician or work in any music or entertainment-related industry, Shervin is your go-to expert.

Shervin is the best!

Shervin is my ride or die. I have known him for a long time and have worked with him for the past 4 years. I trust this man with my life, whether it’s related to the work I do in the entertainment industry or to my immigration process. He is meticulous, patient, intelligent and most importantly a gen...uine and kind soul. He takes care of all my contracts. I would be lost and broke without him. Don’t think twice give him a call, you will not be disappointed!

More than THANKFUL!

I am more than grateful to Shervin Abachi for helping me with my immigration case. The fact is that there are immigration lawyers from all corners of in the immigration system you find Immigration Attorney's in every corner you drive nevertheless it is also known that many are charlatans only over pr...omising, taking advantage and emptying your pockets with lies. I thank God for my wisdom and also the tools out there like this one to actually research and not be misled. They are many outstanding attributes I could say regarding Shervin yet if I could highlight some, they would be HONESTY, TRANSPARENCY, INTEGRITY, PROFESSIONALISM, ETHICAL, RESPECTFUL & out most passionate about what he does, and what he does he does with kindness and compassionate heart holds families together. I am very very thankful because he really did a great job that helped us keep our family together and after a very long journey, I was able to obtain my Naturalization.
