Green Card success! A great lawyer, a true pro!

I cannot thank Mr. Arek Nizamian enough. He helped my family and I to ultimately get our permanent residency statuses. My case was complicated, so complicated that my previous lawyer gave up on my case. I got a RFE after my previous lawyer messed up my case by submitting an incomplete documentatio...n and missing very important information about my current employer. I found Mr. Arek Nizamian on AVVO and after a free consultation he came up with a genius strategy on how to fix my case and ultimately get our green cards. He took his time and listened to me like a friend and answered all my questions very professionally. His paralegal Patricia was also very friendly, helpful and professional. She answered all my questions almost instantly. I am extremely glad to have chosen Mr. Arek Nizamian over other lawyers and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of an immigration lawyer. My family and I are very grateful to Mr. Arek Nizamian and his paralegal Patricia Oh. I feel this way so strongly, since to have finally received our green cards has been a huge relief for us and also has already changed our lives in many positive ways.

H1B No problem . . .

When i first spoke to arek, I was so pessimistic about getting an approval on a H1B case, I had a denied case, and i was seeking approval with the same company almost with no major change in company's financial statement. I got my first H1b in 2008, and was trying to transfer to another company with... same title, which was denied by uscis as the title was not fit for specialty occpuation, and i was not fit for the position plus 6 other points. Mr. Arek listened to my case, after reviewing my previous files and my credentials he told me with his help i had a big chance of getting approval. He has prepared my file and with in 7 days of receipt of file by uscis, my file was approved. His paralegal Patricia was very helpful, always kept contact and even though i was checking my file every hour, she was faster than me, and i got the call from Arek 2am in the morning that i was approved. They also helped me with consular matters, and now helping my company in post approval activities concerning employing an H1b employee. Great Lawyer, great support, and affordable prices.

Right choice for successful Entrepreneurs!!!

I have hired Arek's firm like a year ago for my investment visa. i found him thru one of my friend who has been working with him since 5 years and he highly recommended him. My case was little complicated, not too many lawyers wanted to take it. Some of them they didnt even consider to having loo...king at my case. He was nice and told me let me give it a shot and everything is so far so good. i will be definitely hire him again for the extension. Oh BTW before i forget. They are extremely computer savvy. They make my life so much easier. Unlike old style lawers, they showed me how to share documents thru DropBox and it made my life so much easier. As i told you earlier, my case was little complicated and i had to submit like inch or two thick documents but with their technic i was able to get all the documents sorted out and share with them. Before i forgot, I want to also mention Patricia. She is his secretary/ working as paralegal. She was extremely helpful for me and responsible. She is also very professional and knowledgeable too. When i had a question, she was always there to answer. Patricia was responding to all of my emails right around 20 minutes, sometimes even faster. i dont know how she was able to do that. But she was really successful on it. Long story short, I highly recommend Mr Arek and his team for your immigration matters even if you have complicated ones like mine.
