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!

Finally approved after 9 years

Nassim and her team at ALC are phenomenal. I was introduced to her by my best friend after several attorneys had disappointed my wife and I. Although our case was complicated, Nassim was very positive and encouraging and assured us that her forte was complex and complicated cases, hence she could hel...p us. I guess she was right because within 3 months of hiring her our 9 year old case was finally approved. As much as her team is honest, compassionate, and dedicated, there is one thing that makes Nassim stand out; she just doesn't take whatever the USCIS writes. With her deep knowledge of the immigration law, Nassim checks whatever the USCIS writes with the law. If it's not in conformity she goes directly to their office and argues it out with them. For example in our case we were given a wrong notice of inadmissibility. Most of the lawyers we presented with this issue just said we should apply for waiver as suggested by the USCIS even though they knew there was no basis for the inadmissibility. When we approached Nassim, she immediately realized there was no basis for inadmissibility. She therefore ruled out any waiver but rather went to the office to challenge the basis of their letter. They accepted it was their mistake and withdrew it. My wife and I are so grateful to Nassim and her team for the good work they did for us. My wife and I will highly recommend Nassim and her team in a heart beat.

I couldn't be happier for the two of you! After 9 grueling years of battling with Immigration for something that should have only taken 6 months the most to accomplish, you finally obtained your residency. Your case was one of the most complex cases I've had the privilege of working on and I couldn't be happier for the fruitful outcome. You truly deserve it, welcome to the United States. I look forward to seeing you in another 3 years to file your naturalization. Meanwhile please stop by our office with your lovely wife, its always delightful to chat with the two of you ;)

Passionate, Honest, Loyal, Excellent

My words cant express the gratitude that I have. I am so blessed that Mrs. Nassim took my case. She is absolutely the best lawyer I have ever meet. I was really amazed of the passion she has to each case. After 15years married to my husband and having to go through a lot emotionally and financially ...with notaries that instead of helping getting my citizenship. They were making my situation worst. What I like about Mrs. Nassim is she is honest and fights for each case. She takes each case with passion and fights for what is right. I am grateful because of her and her great Staff I received my U.S Visa and know she is my parents Lawyer. Thank you Mrs. Nassim and Staff

Thank you Norma for your heartfelt review. All of us at ALC are so happy for you and your family. I still remember the first time you and your husband came to my office. Your eyes were filled with tears, your husband was frustrated and couldn't understand why its taken so many years for you to get your papers. I told both of you that everything was done incorrectly in the past, I would do your waiver get it approved and make sure I get you your residency. We only had a week to do your waiver but we did it and got it approved and now you are back in the United States as a Permanent Resident ;) Couldn't be happier for you! Thank you for referring your parents and your brother. I know they're very scared but at the end everything will work out for them as well. Best of luck with everything Norma, welcome to the United States, you deserve to be here ;)

Thank you for changing my life...

Thank you Nassim, thanks to you, I get to stay in the country I lived all my life in and best of all I get to stay with my family and see my daughter grow up. Nassim is a very loving caring person. I have never met an attorney like her. After hearing I was not able to do anything for myself to stay... in the U.S and hearing that I would have to go back to Mexico for 10 years, I felt like giving up. Nassim gave me hope and i trusted her from the very beginning with my case. My life and my family's life has changed dramatically thanks to her. Now I am a Permanent Resident and living very comfortably with my family. Thank you very much Elsa for all your help and making the experience very comfortable when I was not able to speak to Nassim. You are very helpful and such a great worker.
