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...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.

DV 2014 Lottery Green Card Winner!

Arek is a great lawyer to work with. I had several immigration cases before so I am very knowledgeable myself about immigration so it is very hard for me to hire a lawyer because I met lawyers who are not even up to date about immigration. My case was Dv lottery case and due to my high number and ...doing AOS , I hired Arek after I won the lottery. He told us all the steps very clearly and luckily our number become current in August but a normal I-485 case takes at least 3 months so we did not have enough time but Arek put his time and connections to get us interview to the last minute which is almost the last week of the program. He told us the interview experiences so when we went to see the immigration officer we know what to do and we were confident. The whole thing took about 20 mins and we got our green cards in a week. That was a miracle and we are probably one of the last ones who got their green card for DV2014 all around the world. I recommend Arek to any of my friends , colleagues and family. He is young, energetic and most importantly up to date about immigration which is probably the most important thing in immigration cases since the immigration law and regulations are changing all the time. Thanks to Arek and his paralegal Patricia. She is also very fast about responding the situations and most importantly she is always smiling and patient. Thank you so much NIZAMIAN & NIZAMIAN

Investor Visa? No problem! The right choice for the entrepreneurs!

I had already hired another lawyer, paid a deposit, and I still switched to Mr. Nizamian to handle my immigration case! After talking with him, I was convinced that he will sincerely handle my case with utmost attention. Even the night before my visa interview in Istanbul, he Face Timed me from his... home to warm me up and give me confidence for the interview. He handled my case like a friend and I never felt like just a number. His immigration knowledge is well beyond those of other lawyers and he's a nice guy too! I recommend him 100%

Best Immigration lawyer I have worked with.

Searching for a good attorney took some patience and money, but I'd have to say it was worth it to find Arek at last. I hired Arek for my family's immigration paperwork and it was nothing but a smooth ride with his guidance and knowledge in the field. He is your attorney and your friend on your journ...ey. He is someone that always checks in with you and helps you see through the process. He must be so experienced that the path he put in front of me from day 1 was exactly how my process played out. To sum it up, expect lots of useful communication, honesty and results.

Available, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. Consult him and see what your options are, there may be more than one way.

Arek has been very helpful and resourceful from the start. Not only he knew very well the requirements of preparing the documents and having a good case, but he also always advised on a contingency plans and alternative solutions that can help the process. His file preparation was very professional a...nd inclusive, making sure everything is crystal clear and official. Moreover, he was very helpful accommodating meetings and being available on call whenever I needed him. I have been working with him for two years and he has been successful on all the inquiries I have made thus far. I definitely advise anyone who has an immigration problem to get a consult from Arek, he not only will help you prepare for the case, but also will guide you through the immigration system to show you what are the options you can use in order to get to the status you want.
