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

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 ;)

Flawless Victory

Dear Team, Nassim Arzani Our family wants to thank you so much for your expertise in this field. My wife and her family have been taken advantage by many lawyers "Claiming" we can help you, just for them to take their money and run. Every lawyer stating we must leave the country for 10 years, blah... blah blah. This is when I went to the internet and did hours and hours of research on immigration attorney's. Each and every time the name Nassim kept coming into the research. So, I spoke to the wife and her family and we all made a decision to give this another shot. Let me first start by saying, any lawyer who states they can create your case and assist you and only charging you $1000 is lying. Run, Run and Run. (Your fees alone for coming here illegally is already $1000 paid directly to the state. My wife came here when she was three with her mother and father. Both Father and Mother , obviously coming in illegally. When speaking with Nassim she assured us, yes, I can help you or I wouldn't take your case. She did just that. It only took Nassim and her awesome staff 6 months to complete my wife's case, wife's mothers case and fathers case. They all now have green cards and the blessing is. My wife's mother and father are in Mexico as we speak visiting with the loved ones they have not seen in 20 + years. Nassim, you are a true patriot and a lawyer with a pure, honest, loyal heart and passion to assist those who are here living in fear daily, Now they are, working, schooling, active members of this country. We stand and salute you Mrs. Arzani. You'll always have a special place in the hearts of those you help. I wish I had the power to tell every single person in this world about you, however, I cannot, so this is the best I can do. God bless you and every aspect of your life Nassim. With Love and Respect The Arredondo/BiggsFamily =-)
