Best immigration attorney!!

One of the best immigration attorneys specializes in handling complex immigration cases. After a very long, over twenty-four years of immigration journey, I finally received my permanent residence card. I’ve hired two different immigration attorneys to help me stay legally in this country. My first a...ttorney gave me bad advice that would affect my case for the next two decades and that I would not be able to adjust my status. My second lawyer keeps charging me with all kinds of fees to keep me in this country but cannot help me get any immigration relief. In 2017, after hiring two different immigration attorneys and going to many free or paid consultations with other immigration attorneys, my wife introduced me to ms Arzani. She found out about ms Arzani when she used to work at a restaurant near her office. At this point, I’m a little bit skeptical that she would be able to help me with my case. The immigration process costs money, consumes time, causes stress and anxiety, etc. Finding a reasonable, honest attorney who is willing to fight for you, not take advantage of your hard-earned money, and is knowledgeable about the immigration process is hard to do nowadays. Yes, I paid the consultation fee. It’s not cheap. I have been to many consultations. If I had met her a long time ago, I probably wouldn’t have ended up in prolonged immigration limbo. She’s always honest about the best route to navigate your immigration journey to reach your final destination and stay here legally. What makes Ms. Arzani different from any other attorney? She asked a question that no other attorney had ever asked me. She asked if I had ever been a victim of crime here in the U.S. Yes, I have been a victim of crime back in the early 2000s. I thought what happened to me in the past would not help my immigration case. For her to help me file a U-visa from an old case that got buried almost twenty years ago is incredible. By filing the U-visa, I will be able to get my EAD. Finally, after a long wait, She was able to reopen old my case, and the judge granted me relief. Not only that, but she was also able to request the court to process my permanent resident card. Thank you so much, Ms Arzani, Maryam, and Veronica. Thank you for the quick response every time I have questions regarding my case. Thank you, Ms. Arzani. Every time I get a chance to talk to you, you are always generous enough to make sure everything is going to be okay. After a long battle, I was finally able to stay here

Hard case Immigration

Solving an immigration difficult case is challenging for any lawyer; However, with attorney Nasim the impossible becomes possible due to the the considerable experience and expertise she has in this field. As matter of fact, my case was rejected at the first time and then things started to get more c...omplicated. At that point Nasim told me that my case might get forwarded to the court within 30 days. Yet, Nasim said that she will definitely adopt the further actions needed to ensure justice is being taken place. She’s a good fight, actually no , she’s is the best fighter seeking for the truth ! I was not expecting at all receiving a mail of approval for my case which was supposed to be forwarded to the court. Nowadays, even the absolute truths needs to be fought for strongly. Thank god for having me met with such a person like Nasim and thanks Nasim for everything.

Grateful!!

I’ve lived in Los Angeles for the past three decades. I arrived here when I was only twenty one years old from the Philippines, I did not have any proper documentation. Within my time here, I got married and had 4 beautiful children. Everything was great until I received a deportation letter from imm...igration. We were so worried, we thought about what would happen to my two young children if my husband and I were to get deported. We desperately sought help from several lawyers hoping that they would be able to remove the deportation status. Most of them gave us hope and asked for a down payment but towards the end they told us that my case was so complex they wouldn’t be able to help me. Until one day, I went to the office of American Law Center at Riverside, and my attorney Nassim Arsani gave me hope again. She fought hard for my case and never gave up, I was finally able to obtain my green card. She was very detailed and specific in explaining the process of my case. She also made sure that we communicated regularly and explained the technique she used to approach my case. I was so relieved that I finally found someone who was willing to be there for me even though my case was complicated. With her hard work it only took two years to receive my green card, and I didn’t need an immigration interview. I'm so thankful for attorney Nassim Arsani and her team. If it wasn’t for them, I would have been deported to the Philippines. Even though the Philippines is the country I was born in, I’ve spent most of my adult life here in America. The last time my husband and I were in her office, my husband took pamphlets to give to friends, family and coworkers. Her office is located in Riverside and it's an hour and half drive from LA but it was so worth our time. She would fight for your case no matter how complicated. The Lawyer that is there for you every step of the way and dedicated to your victory! Attorney Nassim Arsani is currently working on obtaining my passport. I will update everyone, hopefully with good news!

This is a miracle, really hard to believe!

I am an American citizen married to a Guatemalan woman. We have been living in the U.S. ​these past 7 years and Guatemala before that. My wife and two children were born in Guatemala and have had green cards to live in U.S. legally for years. I came to Nassim Arzani for assistance in naturalizing ...them. Nazzim told me she had a procedure that was not well known that could result in immediate issue of a U.S. Passport. I was skeptical but we proceeded with her plan. And BINGO, the kids had their citizenship and U.S. Passport in around one month! Read that again: ONE MONTH! When it says on her business card "Nazzim Arzani, Certied Specialist in Immigration & Nationality Law," it's not just a slogan but the way she practices law! Thank you Nazzim! My kids are all American kids and we couldn't be happier!

I' m so thankful

Thank you Nassim and her team. They're very professional and friendly. They always answer my question. After my case was denied few years ago. After reading several reviews, I decided to visit Nazzim. She was very honest with me at the beginning with my case. She said that it was a difficult case an...d the chances that I might have to get approved or denied. She got me approved and I got my work permit. I am so thankful to her for her professionalism and knowledge. Thanks

Congratulations Maria, I'm so happy for you!!! I'm still shocked I got your case approved, it was extremely difficult especially since it was previously denied but we did it ;) Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Best wishes for you and your family
