H1B Transfer

He did my H1B transfer. He is really good. If he says that is possible, then he achieves. Definitely right person to work with, especially for immigration processes. I definitely recommend.

Arek Nizamian makes the Impossible Possible with his great efficiency, timely guidance and unparalleled intellect !!

I cannot tell you how grateful I am to attorney Nizamian. He saved my life and my families future in America. He always promised he could. When other lawyers turned us away for being an ‘impossible’ case Arek gave us hope. When we began with him, he told us something very important, “If I take y...our case, I believe it can be won”. He was right. We trusted him and we were very desperate. Our last lawyer destroyed my greencard application and 8 years after it was pending we received a denial. All of a sudden, I was out of status, illegal and afraid to be deported. We only had 10 days to file an appeal and Mr. Nizamian filed an incredible answer. Attorney Arek filed an appeal, a motion to reconsider and at all times gave us hope that justice will prevail. He obtained my J-1 waiver, from India, in record time, he filed an new labor case for my husband, filed a new greecard case for me, kept our original filing dates and pulled off a miracle. Even when things looked bad, he came up with a genius plan to get my case approved. He is the most dedicated, honest caring lawyer I have ever dealt with. He knew about sophisticated immigration laws that no one else suggested. He made a plan like a chess match and gave us a map for a successful case. He paid attention to every detail even when we thought it was taking too long, I understand now that it is all part of the master plan. He spends all the time necessary to make sure everything is perfect. We were so stressed and called him all the time. HE IS VERY CAREFUL, checking every detail. We had an incredibly long past and he made sure every detail was in place. My entire family in India is so excited. In the end, he was able to convince the government to have mercy on me and grant me my greencard. My 2 children who have been born and raised in America are so grateful. I recommend Attorney Nizamian to anyone with a immigration case. HE IS THE BEST!
