Highly Professional and Compassionate Lawyer

I reached out to Ms. Nimer regarding a prolonged immigration case. After speaking with many lawyers, my first impression of her was that she genuinely understood the pain and challenges my family was facing. She clearly explained all of our options and guided us with care. Ms. Nimer is highly profess...ional, compassionate, and responsive to her clients. Thanks to her help, we were able to achieve the results we wanted in less than a month. I truly recommend her.

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.

F1 Visa issued by Jennifer Nimmer in Just 3-4 weeks after long delays

I am a student seeking my educations in US. I applied for a student visa in a foreign US consulate. Unfortunately, my visa was delayed unreasonably therefore I had to defer my application in my school many times due to clearance check. All my attempts for reaching out to my consulate were not hel...pful. All the reasons and all the efforts for asking the consular officers for a long period of time did not help me at all. even the inquiry letters from my school or even inquiries from the State’s Senators did not help at all. I was so lucky that I got to know a pathway to help my case out of so called Administrative Processing. There were plenty of immigrant attorneys working on these issues. Many of them suggested me Mandamus Lawsuit.I took a tele-conversation appointment for consultation with some of them. Among the attorneys I researched, Jennifer Nimmer, was the only one really listened to my case, since my case was a little bit complex (as I had another immigrant visa in progress in parallel to my student visa). I noticed that Jennifer’s group is putting their effort to help applicants to get their rights and not suffer from unreasonable delays (in my case). I am very grateful for the time she allocated to resolve my case, the plenty of contacts she had with the US consulate and DOS’s attorney. Also, I am very thankful for his time to answer my concerns very patiently during the time my case was filed. God bless her and her group.

Administrative processing solved

In November 2020 I was interviewed for my J1 visa at the US consulate at my country of residence. I am still a Cuban national but with more than 11 year residence abroad. At the end of the interview I received the request to fill up the ds5535 form and then my case was placed in administrative proces...sing. With no natural solution of the case for over 6 months, I came across several lawyer on internet and ended up hiring Jennifer and her firm. The story short, my case was solved almost immediately. Jennifer and her team demonstrated not only a deep knowledge on the procedures and relevant laws, but they were very thorough, from constant communication and follow up to explanations and guidance. I absolutely recommend Jennifer for your immigration case and I myself would if I need that again. Thank you Jennifer for your help and dedication!

Great Attorney for Writ of Mandamus

My H1B renewal case was stuck in the dreaded administrative processing for several months, which left me no choice but to seek other means for resolution. I got in touch with Nimer Law - Jennifer was great in explaining the whole process to me and allaying any fears. She was thorough with the Writ th...at was filed and was very responsive to any questions I had throughout the process. My visa was finally issued and I can't thank Jennifer enough. I would highly recommend her to all!
