Status Before Becoming a Resident: DACA Age: 30 Criminal Record: Arrested for a felony but never convicted Last Entry into US Type: DACA with Advance Parole If you are a considering starting the process of applying to become a permanent resident (PM) and you are looking for a Lawyer who is ho...nest, knowledgeable, and very reasonably priced you should hire Ashkan. I hope this review will convince you why you should stop your search and go with Ashkan. I decided to go to him based on several factors including online reviews, price, knowledge, and empathy towards his clients. I have had several experiences with lawyers during my entire process of becoming a permanent resident. During each stage of my immigration process I went to a different Lawyer. The three different stages I went through were my initial application for DACA, my application for advance parole, and finally adjustment of status to become a PM. By the time I was ready to apply to become a PM I was very familiar with what the process would entail. That knowledge helped me vet several lawyers before I met with Ashkan. During my initial consultation with him I was able to determine that he was a lawyer that really cared about his clients and wasn’t looking to over charge me for his services. He impressed me so much that we signed our contract that same day. Facts About Me I came to the U.S. when I was about 4 years old without documentation. I have grown up in the U.S. and was a pretty good kid growing up. I have only had one run in with the law. When I was in high school I stole something from a public park that ended up causing about $500 worth of damage. Since this was my first offense the arresting PD decided to give me community service in exchange for dropping the charges. As a result of this I currently show one felony arrest on my criminal record. This arrest record has made things a little difficult during my entire immigration process because despite what people may think USCIS does do their due diligence and they have always requested documentation of what happened. Lucky for me I was smart enough to keep the documentation proving that arresting PD did indeed drop my charges. So I have been able to get DACA, advance parole, and adjustment of status. Process of Becoming a Permanent Residence Ashkan was able to help me file my application for adjustment of status. He recognized that I despite my arrest record I was a perfect candidate for adjustment of status. For me I was able to adjust because I was a DACA recipient, who had been granted advance parole, left and entered the country with inspection and finally married to a U.S. citizen. The whole process took about 8 months. Ashkan did an amazing job helping me through the entire process. I would like to say where he really shined was with the interview. His knowledge of the process and his relationship with the immigration officials as the Santa Ana office made the whole process very easy. He gave me the best advice, which I would like to share with you. If you are in a real relationship you have nothing to worry about. That turned out to be very true because I got approved for my green card that same day! I would like to end this review by saying if you are fortunate enough to be able to apply to become a permanent resident then the best thing you can do is hire Ashkan. Doing so will probably be the best decision you can make.

Mr. Yekrangi was there to answer all of my family's questions when we were thrown into a highly stressful situation. We did not have to deal with assistants or deal with long delays. He makes himself readily available for all of his clients. He is very well read and spoken and knows everything tha...t there is to know in terms of immigration and criminal law. If either of those areas apply to what you're looking for, than look no further than Ashkan. On top of everything else I believe his fees are very reasonable for the amount of work and dedication he puts forth into your case. With all of that being said I can recommend him to anyone I know. Thank you for your time and for helping my family.

"Ashkan is a miracle. I went to four different immigration attorney and they all told me my case was impossible, that they couldn't do anything to fix my immigration status. Instead they gave me advice on how to avoid ICE! After searching the internet I was blessed to find Ashkan. He first told m...e I had a complex and risky case, and before he could take any action he needed to make sure he wouldn't be doing anything that would make me deported. After receiving FBI documents, immigration documents and a complete criminal background check, he told me I had nothing to worry about and that my case would be approved. He was so confident that he said he wouldn't charge half of the balance until I got my green card and 11 months later he did what everyone else said was impossible. I am forever grateful to him and I recommend anyone who has any immigration issue to deal only with the best immigration lawyer, Mr. Ashkan Yekrangi."
