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.

Brilliant consultation! Highly recommended!!

Yalda is a brilliant attorney. Her professionalism and expertise shone throughout the consultation. She listened attentively to my concerns and provided thoughtful alternatives tailored to my case. I left the consultation feeling much more informed and confident moving forward and will continue work...ing with her in the future should the opportunity arise. I highly recommend Yalda.

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

Expedite

I was feeling utterly hopeless until I came across Yalda. Amidst the challenging times of the coronavirus, I applied for my dad's case, but it took a painstaking two years for it to be approved. On top of that, I had already been waiting for 8 long months just to secure an interview appointment. Desp...erate for answers, I reached out to numerous people, only to find out that their cases were stuck on a waitlist for over 2 years. That's when I decided to contact Yalda. From the moment I spoke to her, I was struck by her kindness and patience. She attentively listened to my concerns and answered all my questions, instilling a sense of trust within me. Encouraged by her words, I entrusted her with my father's case. To my amazement, within less than a month, Yalda managed to expedite the process. I received a letter from the embassy, and the very next day, an appointment was scheduled! Looking back, I can't help but wish I had known about Yalda's services two years ago. The relief and joy I feel now are indescribable. I am immensely grateful for everything she has done for me and my dad. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Yalda to anyone facing similar challenges. Her dedication and expertise are truly remarkable. Yalda, I cannot thank you enough for the tremendous support and assistance you've provided. You've made an incredible difference in our lives."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
