J1 waiver for fulbright approved

Layli Eskandari was a terrific lawyer. She helped me obtained a J1 waiver as a fulbright scholar. These are very difficult cases. Layli guided us through all the paper work in a very organized way. She was clear and specific in her advice when there challenges. I felt that she had my best interest at... heart throughout the process. The process took about 18 months and there were several times my future was uncertain, but Layli was very through to layout my options in several stages. She was also timely and supportive.

Highly recommend Layli Eskandari Deal for your immigration needs

We cannot thank Layli and her firm enough for their hard work on our immigration case. Layli was available, honest, trustworthy and dedicated. She made us feel very comfortable and confident that things would work out. We had heard about Layli through our friends that had used her services and wh...ile we met with other immigration lawyers before hiring her, we liked her for the person that she is. She is realistic in communicating next steps and estimated timelines without making things glossy. Our case was certainly not an easy one with many complications along the way. Layli presented the exact plan of action and explained to us how the process is going to look like and what to expect. Her knowledge of complex U.S. immigration laws made us feel confident that our case was well taken care of. We appreciated her prompt responses to our emails and answers to all of our questions. It was really important for us that we could reach our attorney and speak to her directly without waiting hours/days for a call back. We would highly recommend Layli Eskandari Deal's services to anyone that is in need of a dedicated immigration lawyer. We wish you all the success!

The best

I am extremely thankful for Mrs. Layli Eskandari. She is an amazing attorney that went above and beyond for our family. From the beginning she made sure we understood the full process and helped guide us in the right direction. My case was a little complicated and it was my second time filing so I ne...eded an attorney that I felt comfortable with to file my case. I walked into the office and I was greeted by amazing individuals that made my feel like I was at home. I love how this law firm works. I never felt like just a client, I felt like part of the family and that is what an amazing law firm does. Mrs. Eskandari is extremely knowledgeable in the immigration field and because of it I received amazing news today. She was prepared from the beginning and made sure we always were two steps ahead. Thank you for everything you have done for my family. If you are looking for an amazing attorney please contact this firm!

Reliable Trustworthy Legal Assistance with a Wonderful Personality

Unable to thank Attorney Layli Eskandari Deal enough for all she did for me. My case was not a typical run of the mill type circumstance. It involved several issues which were not in my favor to acheieve my goal of becoming a U.S. citizen. She went above and beyond her call of duty and standar...dly recognized level of interest in my case and her legal responsibilities as my attorney. With enormous pride and gratitude I thank her for this opportunity to recommend her as her efforts and attention to details resulted in my US Citizenship being Granted on July 23rd :) Thank you Layli and God Bless America!

Performs Miracles!

Layli Eskandari Deal is an excellent immigration attorney! She is very personable and cares about her clients. She is also well versed and knowledgeable in the immigration field and knows well how to navigate the complexities of immigration law and the immigration system. She assisted me in my cas...e matters and was able to work through the deadlock of numerous delays in my naturalization processing. After numerous attempts myself to fix the problems, it only took Mrs. Eskandari Deal's diligent determination in one attempt in securing my citizenship case with the government back on track. She truly is a miracle worker!! I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Mrs. Layli!!!
