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.

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.

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."

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.
