Yalda got my NIW petition approved!

I did my EB2 NIW petition with Yalda's help and from the beginning to the end she was very caring, knowledgeable, professional, and supportive. She helped me strengthen my case with very useful advice and she was always available to meet when I needed. In addition to that, she was very punctual to th...e schedule we set for the entire process which made it a quick process for such an extensive petition. On top of all these qualities, my favorite thing about Yalda is that she is willing to take cases that are not straightforward and work with you to create a strong case. For example, for scientists (like myself) she can build strong cases based on the quality of publications rather than quantity, while most immigration attorneys focus on just quantity. Overall, her ability to handle not straightforward cases this seamlessly and successfully is a testament to her exceptional ability as a lawyer. I would recommend her to anyone who needs an immigration attorney.

Highly Recommended

Ms. Hajavi’s expertise was a vital factor in my employment petition for permanent residency being approved. She came on board my case and guided us through how to make the strongest case possible. She was very responsive to any questions from myself or my employers. I would highly recommend her prof...essional and thorough work as a lawyer in immigration services . I am grateful for everything she did to help me succeed in my case.

Excellent work

Living in the United States with a j1 visa and having the 2 year restriction in my visa, the attorney Yalda helped me submitting a waiver that was successful and received an approval notice from USCIS. I recommend Yalda because she did an excellent work and answered all my questions.

Immigration attorney for O1-A visa

Ms. Hajavi was one of the primary attorneys preparing my application for the O1-A visa. She was effective, knowledgeable, and prompt in her communication.

Yalda helped with the impossible

Our existing attorney suggested we bring in Yalda to help with securing an extension on our artist's O-1 Visa. Up until Yalda, we hit roadblock after roadblock due to government issues. With Yala's tireless help and work (specifically leading into the holidays) she was able to secure us a 3-year 0-...1 extension. We couldn't be happier
