H1B Transfer - Seamless

This is the 2nd time that we have used Arek Nizamian to help us with a H1B visa. We received the same excellent service this time as well. The process was seamless to us. Arek was available to answer any of the questions we had. His staff was also very helpful. We would highly recommend Arek and... his staff.

A BIG ,BIG THANK TO MR. AREK TO HIS INCREDIBLE EFORT FOR MY SON'S CASE

I lost my faith in LAWYERS till the day I met Arek. My O1 visa case was denied while I was working with another attorney . I was hopeless when I went to talk to Arek in his office . I was in a stage of giving everything up. Arek started to explain me how everything should work out, very profess...ionally . We thought how about going through E2 Investment Visa. The problem was that my son 13 years old was going to Public School in United State and his staying was expired. We decided to work in my E2 case changing of my status which means I had to Invest amount of money to open a Business here in United State which I did . I new this was a big risk for my son's school and his future and big risk for my case too. I believed in Arek in the firs meeting . His way of treating the issues,the questions was asked by him and the answers were more than professional. My son's B1/B2 visa to be extended was %90 going to be denied and I was prepared for it but still there was a little % of wining the case. My son's case took 10 years from my life. It wasn't the money that I had Invested in the Business which I was going to lose, it was something bigger: 1-My son's future was in a big risk. 2-My son would have lived the BIGGEST TRAUMA EVER to leave the country. 3-All our dreams and efforts we had spend since 8 months would take the whole family in hell. 4-The big and beautiful picture we had created for our future was forever gone. When Arek said let's work on your son's case ,to tell you the truth I was totally lost, desperate and had no more hope. I said to Arek : My son is my everything, I can do anything for him, please ,please help. YESSSSS only one week later The BIGGEST NEWS has arrived. My son's extension of B1/B2 visa was accepted and he was allowed to stay here with me till the school year would finish. It was unbelievable. MR AREK : BECAUSE OF YOU OUR FAMILY WILL BE ABLE TO LIVE THE DREAM AGAIN.. THE WORDS WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH TO THANK YOU AREK. FANTASTIC LAWYER, GREAT PERSONALITY, WONDERFUL SENCE OF HUMOR, POSITIVE ATTITUDE,WILLING TO HELP. MONEY FOR HIM IS THE LAST THING TO ASK. GOD BLESS YOU. MY FAMILY LOVES YOU.

H1B approved by Nizamian LLP after a denial from Fragomen.

My H1B case was being handled by Frogomen Irvine my visa was denied thanks to the lack of attention by Fragomen and there fancy team i was then referred to Arek by a family friend. I felt a sense of comfort when i met him. Arek and his paralegal (Patricia) bring an extremely personal touch to the cas...e which is unlike most attorneys who are just in it for the money. I can assure everyone that my case was very complex and because of the first denial it had become even more complex. Arek, Patricia and I had a lot of brain storming sessions on how to structure the case i received my H1B approval late nov 2014 and i can assure i could not have done this without Arek and Patricia anyone looking for H1B please refer to Arek he is a true professional who genuinely cares about your case and takes full ownership. Nizamian LLP has the capabilities of a big law firm with a full paralegal support with a personal touch which is hard to match.

SAĞOLASIN AREK ABİ :)

merabalar ben trabzonluyum ve bir seneye yakın amerikadayım.Arek beyle las vegas, high rollerda çalışırken tanıştım . Kendisi ve eşi tatil için vegasa gelmişlerdi kısa bi tanışmadan sonra arek beyin bakırköy doğumlu olduğunu ve türkçesinininde amerikada bu kadar uzun kalmasına rağmen hala çok düzgün... konuşması beni şaşırtmıştı . hoş bi sohbetten sonra teelefonlarımızı aldık . bundan 1 ay sonra benim immigiration hakkında bir proplemim oldu kendisini aradım . kendisi california gibi yoğun bi eyalette olmasına rağmen bana çok uzun zaman ayırdı ve kafamdaki bütün soruları giderdi . kendisi diğer avukatlar gibi ciddi ve sıkıcı olmamakla beraber sohbetimiz abi kardeş havasında geçti ve beni çok rahatlattı açıkcası. Ve bende bi türk olarak cevre eyaletlerde yaşıyan türk arkadaşlarımıza kendisini şiddetle öneririm . en azından sizi başından savmıyacağına garanti ederim :)
