L2 Administrative Processing with Writ of Mandamus

I was placed into administrative processing for my L2 visa despite having several previous US visas. After six months of waiting with unclear prospects, I reached out to Attorney Nimer for help. Following the consultation, I had no hesitation about working with Jennifer. Throughout the process, Je...nnifer was incredibly supportive and efficient, exceeding all of my expectations. The lawsuit was filed within days, and exactly 30 days later, I heard back from the Embassy to send my passport for the visa issuance. I would recommend working with Jennifer in a heartbeat.

EB2 (NIW) Green Card

My wife and I worked with Jennifer to receive our Green Card after waiting for over than one year. She contacted me and assessed our I-485, and filed a lawsuit within 2 weeks. Our cases were, then approved by USCIS within 9 days. She is an amazing immigration lawyer and I recommend her to anyone who ...has experienced significant delay in receiving the US permanent residency.

Great Service | Will surely recommend

My 7-years old kids and husband’s visa was stuck for 12 months. There was no response from the embassy , even after multiple senators and congressmen contacting them on my behalf. Attn Nimer was kind enough to take up my case and bring it to conclusion. I contacted multiple attn. before her because t...his was a sensitive case of kids away from their mother but through my conversation with her and multiple great feedbacks it became a no- brainer. She is highly professional, great response time, and mostly importantly a kind human being. I am glad I made the right decision and had her file mandamus lawsuit for AP delay.

Effective Action for O1 Visa Case

I had a USCIS-approved O1 visa since June 2021 that got stuck in administrative processing at the US Embassy in Lima, where I traveled to get my visa stamped in March 2022. On my 5th month of waiting, with no end in sight, I consulted Jennifer about the particulars of my case, and she was thorough in... explaining that I had the right to sue through a Writ of Mandamus at that stage of the delay -- and earlier, even. She was also very transparent about the possible outcomes of the Writ of Mandamus. She and her team were responsive, and I learned a lot about the legal arguments that supported my case. I obtained my visa successfully in early October 2022, and was able to get back to my job, and my loved ones in the U.S. I would recommend Jennifer to all people who are also going through the nightmare of administrative processing, especially if you have already obtained previous visas.

Professional, prompt resolution, and truly life changing

Attorney Nimer was professional and always presented options in terms of dealing with the case. When most lawyers either did not know what to do or simply wanted to wait and see, attorney Nimer understood the time-sensitive nature of the case and proceeded with filing a mandamus. With her help, the m...andamus was resolved in under 60 days, including holidays, and I am now able to finally attend in-person. During a time when I did not know if I could even attend my program, attorney Nimer's calm and confident approach allowed me to be where I am today.
