H1B Visa

My experience working with Yalda Hajavi was beyond a sigh of relief. Before our first meeting, I remember how hopeless my case seemed at one point; I did not have a clear path forward, and my employer’s attempt to secure a H1B visa was coming to an impasse. After reaching out to five different immigr...ation and corporate lawyers for a solution, nothing panned out. It was not until my first meeting with Yalda and her colleagues at Taghavi Immigration Law, that things became more optimistic. With a focus on work permit, Yalda was able to provide us with a clear path forward, and she knew exactly what to do and how to approach my case. I am a Christian, so I attribute this moment to the mighty grace and power of our savior Jesus Christ! During this process, Yalda was always available to answer my questions and would make sure that I was kept in the loop. Her desire to help me fight for my future was sincere and genuine, and not many immigration lawyers have that quality. I would highly recommend Yalda to anyone who is in a similar situation to mine.

Excellent Service I-140 (NIW) application process

I am deeply honored and humbled to have my (NIW) I-140 case approved by USCIS due to the hard work and diligence of Yalda Hajavi. The NIW application process can be daunting, but with her guidance, I felt at ease and confident every step of the way. Her attention to detail, thoroughness, and patience... were outstanding. After submitting my case in July 2022, USCIS responded Requesting For Evidence (RFE), this response almost broke my spirit, however, Yalda was calm and confident that she will have my case approved. She was very patient in responding to all evidence requested by USCIS. When the final draft and forms were sent to me to review, it was evident that she put real time and effort into preparing response documents; comprehensive yet customized to present me and my profile. She did a great job preparing the RFE on my behalf in a quite short time. I am thrilled to report that my NIW application after submitting the RFE was approved within 10 months. This milestone would not have been possible without Yalda assistance. I am thankful for Yalda, and I highly recommend her as she is highly knowledgeable, experienced, and trustworthy and that’s what you need for such immigration processes.

NIW Application

I hired Yalda to help me submit an national interest waiver to obtain a green card. From beginning to end, Yalda was amazing in helping put together the application through countless hours of drafting, reviewing, and re-reviewing all aspects of my application. She was incredibly knowledgeable and abl...e to parse through the complexity of my work (electrical engineering) with ease. She was able to position my work in such a way that even I was impressed by the final application. She helped pick the best references, work product and at every step went above and beyond in ensuring I had the necessary elements in my application for approval. Throughout the entire process, she was always very responsive and provided excellent counsel and advice. We submitted the application in April of 2023 and it was approved within two weeks. I don't doubt that it was approved so quickly because of the work she did. I highly recommend using Yalda for any immigration work. If I were to do it again, I would not think of using anyone else.

Awesome practice!

Everything went smoothly with my application and interviews for both the green card and citizenship. Yalda gave excellent guidance on what to expect and her advice was spot on.
