unresponsible attorney

We had an extremely disappointing experience with Mr. Arvand as our attorney for my mother-in-law's green card application. Despite being paid in full, he delayed submitting the application for six months and made critical errors in filling out the forms. As a result, our case was rejected by the Nat...ional Visa Center (NVC). Worse, he was unable to correct the errors as instructed by NVC, causing over a year's delay in the process. Communication was another major issue. We often had to send multiple messages and leave voicemails, only to get responses after a week or more. The lack of responsiveness and professionalism caused immense stress and frustration for our family. Ultimately, we decided to hire another attorney to fix the situation. The new lawyer successfully resolved the case with NVC in less than a week—a stark contrast to our previous experience. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend Mr. Arvand for any immigration-related matters. Save yourself the stress and find someone more competent and reliable.

Amazing immigration lawyer

I consulted Mr. Arvand about my many complex questions on naturalization. He quickly set up two appointments with me and discussed my case in great detail. Mr. Arvand is extremely considerate and knowledgable and will analyze your specific case and gives you great advice, going through various scenar...ios and what would happen in each case.

Not recommending

Honestly, he has done nothing for me. I by myself fill in all documents and forms which were needed for immigration. He was the most irresponsible lawyer I have ever seen. He left my case for 8 months till I found that he has done nothing regarding my case. Even now I get a response from USCIS and my... case is successfully closed he is not aware of it.

Best immigration lawyer for NIW

Ray has always exceeded my expectation where it comes to knowledge of immigration law and client services. He is very organized and thorough with my case and makes the process of NIW very easy for me. He can also speak and read Farsi very well which helps handling my case a lot. He is very kind and ...reasonable with his professional fee.
