Grateful for Kazmi & Sakata's help for my marriage based green card application!

I worked with Harun Kazmi to help apply for my green card (permanent resident card) and the entire process was a breeze. We only met in person once to go over a list of required documents (which I had to collect and send over to their office) and Harun and their team handled the rest of the process. Harun was always available to answer any questions we had throughout the process over e-mail as well. My wife and I even moved cities after having submitted our petitions (from SD to LA - changing our USCIS field office). Harun put us at ease and answered any questions we had about this process as well. Cannot recommend going through Kazmi & Sakata enough for any of your immigration needs!

The Go To Immigration Attorney

This was my second time working with Harun. I reached out to him again after 9 years because of his professionalism, courtesy and profound knowledge of the PR process. Glad to say, the qualities remain. Harun helped us navigate my mother's PR application process (1-485 and I-765) during COVID times and we were happy to receive her green card within a few months. If a question was to be asked of me whether I would work with Harun again? The answers would be "I have" and "I still would".

Excellent

I contacted Mr. Kazmi regarding my mothers B2 stay extension case, that is still pending with USCIS since December, 2018. We were confused about that and contacted Mr. Kazmi regarding this issue. Mr. Kazmi's response was very prompt, insightful and useful for us. He seems to be very knowledgeable about the immigration related laws.

5 STARS- Got my wife's Greed Card!

Got my wife her green card today! I've had a nightmare of a process. Going through the US Embassy in the Philippines was a nightmare already but the process continued when she got here. We started when I was in the military and finished when I got out. The NLSO was a joke compared to these guys. I tried all the "friend of a friend that works for an immigration lawyer" and even a guy that has been working as an assistant for many years - none of it worked out. After over two years, 3 failed attempts(after she got to the USA) and too much money later, I was fed up and went to yelp to find a legit immigration lawyer. After contacting these guys and setting up an appointment, I spoke with Kazmi and he was very professional and strait forward. What I liked the most about him was that he spoke normal people language vs. immigration law language. We made an appointment, sat down with him, explained my situation and from that point, it was CRAZY easy. I don't know why we had 4 years problems but it worked. He went over every step in the process with us including the interview questions and possible questionable areas. If you are looking for someone help, that speaks common people language, in expensive, comes highly recommended and creditability, you need to use these guys. I've already recommended our friends to them and they also have had a great experience. Thank you again Kazmi.

Me and my husband contacted this firm after we decided we wanted to get married and adjust my status. We were a bit terrified of the process with all the things you read online so we were very lucky to find Harun. We did a free consultation where he explained to us what the process will be like, he was very knowledgeable, professional and we felt so comfortable that a few weeks after we decided we wanted to hire them to handle our process. All of our paperwork was carefully prepared and sent, and just 3 months of a very smooth process I was granted a green card at the interview. I'm very thankful and satisfied with the services provided, always available to answer any of my questions very quickly. Totally recommend this firm for any immigration matter.

Fantastic Legal Service

My husband and I 'interviewed' a number of attorney's but felt safest and most confident once we contacted Kazmi & Sakata Attorneys at Law. Right from the outset, we knew that they were the right people to assist us with our immigration applications. Harun Kazmi was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had plenty of questions and Harun was always quick to respond to my emails and return my calls. And once when he was out of town, Mr Sakata even called me within minutes of receiving my email. Honestly, it was amazing to feel so safe as a client. I highly recommend Kazmi and Sakata Attorney's at Law. You'll find yourself in the safest and most knowledgeable hands. Thank you Harun Kazmi! We will be sure to enlist your expertise in 2 years time, when I am due to renew my Green Card and apply for Citizenship.

Thank you Harun

Harun was very helpful and calming through the long and sometimes ridiculous process of obtaining permanent residency from marriage. My wife and I could not be happier with his work and we will continue to use his services in the future.

Highly recommend

Highly recommend! Me and my husband filed a green card together, and it is not an easy case because we actually first met in a video game, unlike how most couples meet. But with this lawyer's help, we are able to get approved despite our difference from other couples. The whole process is professional and great! I definitely made the right choice by going here!

Easy to work with, very responsive.

I found Harun Kazmi from Thumbtack for the purposes of my Diversity Visa process. Harun has been a joy to work with. He made sure everything was done in a timely and orderly matter, way ahead of time as well. Since I moved up to San Francisco, Harun was still very responsive through emails and would reply ASAP with straightforward, concise answers. The most important thing about having Harun as my attorney was that he instilled confidence throughout the whole process which is invaluable for immigration purposes. Will definitely recommend him to anyone who needs help with immigration matters.

Great service

Harun is a very professional and knowledgable immigration attorney. I started my GC application in July 2017 and it only took 5 months before I received my green card. Harun is very responsive on communication. It never took him more than an hour to answer any questions I had via email. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking help with immigration law.
