Arek Alexander Nizamian

We have worked with Arek on my EB-2 Visa Process. We started with another attorney at the beginning of the process and it was going quite slow and the company decided to go with Arek instead. I was an OPT holder at that time and the clock was ticking. The first lawyer suggested me to leave the countr...y during the process which would risk my position at the company but Arek always came with solutions, he suggested that I keep my studies and keep my student visa so that I would have time for the whole process. All I can say about him is that he is a great problem solver and definitely an expert in immigration law. I was applying with my wife and the whole process went super smooth, we got the best consultancy we could get during the process. Now we are both Green card holders. Whenever we had questions, we had answers promptly. I also have to say how hard Patricia/ Paralegal at Nizamian & Nizamian, LLP worked and kept us posted all the time.

Arek is an amazing, hard working, detailed oriented lawyer we have ever seen. Even though I live in Florida and never had a chance to meet with him in person, he was always accessible to our calls and patient to all our questions. He successfully helped us getting our first E2 visa in 2011 ( which wa...s a very hard case) and also helped us this year to renew our visa. We are so happy to work with him. We can`t think or ask for anybody better. We strongly recommend Arek and his amazing team to all of our friends.

I came in 2013 on a J1 visa and my company sponsored me for a H1B in 2014... Unfortunately there was a lottery because of the high number of applicants and my application didn't go through and wasn't reviewed. But Arek didn't give up and submitted my application again this year. I won the lottery thi...s year and after that everything went well and got officially approved today by the US emabssy in Paris. He was updating me anytime he got some news and also was very nice and answering my questions. He prepared all my papers so i was able to arrive to the my embassy appointment welle prepared. Patricia, Arek's paralegal is also really great. She was always here for me if I had any question. Very good lawyer and paralegal, nice available and very efficient. I recommend Arek and Patricia for their wonderful job.

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...e absolutely had no guarantee of an approval for our CR1 application. Many of the lawyers that I spoke with had little hope of success, several required steep consultation fees and more than a handful wanted to charge double, even triple what Mr. Nizamian offered to take our case for. Additionally, Mr. Nizamian provided an exceptional amount of time when first consulting with us and was extremely kind, personable and professional in his demeanor. He also took the time to meet with my husband, in Istanbul, when he was overseas on unrelated business and arranged for me to Facetime with them from Florida. It was during this meeting that my husband and I unequivocally knew that Mr. Nizamian was the right choice. Over the next several months Mr Nizamian and his staff assisted my husband and I in completing the proper forms, informing us of each step of the process and masterfully organized and prepared our package of supporting documents. Mr. Nizamian was always careful not to sugar-coat our situation but instead provided us with realistic expectations and sound legal advice, even when the truth about wait times or delays was not what we wanted to hear, although incredibly our case moved from filing date to interview date within 10 months with no delays due to missing paperwork! When it came time for our interview last week, Mr. Nizamian again made time to prepare my husband by calling him two or three times and going over potential interview questions and the best ways to answer. Specifically, Mr. Nizamian was able to communicate with my husband in his native language, Turkish, and provided my husband the guidance he needed to conduct himself at the interview with knowledge and confidence. Then the morning of our interview, which was in Ankara, Turkey (10 hours ahead of Los Angeles) we emailed Mr. Nizamian the initial outcome around 3AM PST and Mr. Nizamian emailed us back a response within minutes. He was positive and hopeful and then called my husband later that day to get all of the details about the interview. Now, a week later, we received an email that our CR-1 visa has been approved In conclusion, we highly recommend Mr. Nizamian and will be utilizing his services again as we file an I130 for my step-son within the coming months.

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.
