Phenomenal outcome
Rehan helped my husband through the green card process. The system was slow due to COVID but Rehan kept us updated on all the paperwork and progress. We got the green card and the marriage interview portion of the process was even waived for us which rarely happens! We couldn’t be more relieved. Than...

We found Rehan to be a thorough professional. He has worked on our case diligently and with great detail. I was surprised to see my visa approval in less than a week from USCIS. Will definitely recommend him to others as well

Over the course of these many instances, I have regularly been asked to help and work with their respective immigration lawyers to make sure things are going smoothly. Recently, a family member was seeking an immigration lawyer and we retained Rehan based on multiple referrals. In working with Rehan, I was thoroughly impressed with his level of preparation and responsiveness. I can easily say that Rehan was the most polite, professional, and by far the most responsive of any immigration lawyer I have ever worked with. Prior to Rehan, I rarely spoke to the actual attorney without a fight and often waited days for a response. With Rehan, I never spoke to anyone except for him. Even more impressive, I got immediate responses to any and all inquiries/questions/messages. Rehan responded to all calls, messages, and emails literally within an hour-regardless of day/time. I'd recommend Rehan to anyone, easily."
