I was born in Istanbul, Turkey of Armenian descent. I immigrated to the United States in 1974, at the time just 4 months old. I knew, from early in my legal training that I would be an immigration attorney. In fact, it is all I specialize in. Immigration law and more importantly, unpublished policy, changes so quickly that if an attorney does not focus their entire practice on immigration law, they will miss something.
On a personal note, I am married for 11 years and two wonderful boys ages 2 and 4. I love representing my clients and learning about their cultures, business ventures and industry.

I was an OPT holder at that time and the clock was ticking. The first lawyer suggested me to leave the countr...

Extremely Complex Visa History/CR-1 Spousal Visa Application Approved!!!
Before learning of Mr. Nizamian via Avvo, I interviewed several attorneys throughout the country. Our case was extremely complex, with a previous cancelled tourist visa and a denied P-1 work visa. Although we had over 600 pages of supporting documentation as proof of the validity of our marriage, w...
