IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY

Called Mr. Nelson to write a waiver letter to the US embassy in Yerevan Armenia, as why I want my mother in law to get her immigration visa to join my wife here in California. He charged me not much! But thereafter, anytime, I called him, he spent quite good time on the phone. He never turned me down... for my questions. He was sometimes in meeting. But he retuned all my calls. You will not feel stranger with this gentleman. He is knowledgeable and he is always stay side by side with you. His office staff are friendly and helpful, when he was on vacation. I recommend him to any one. My mother in law came in to California on 10/22/2019 with green card visa. One call you will think you know him for ever! My review on this site is voluntary and just wanted to thank him what he did for me. and my wife!

Immigration Visa Green Card Application EAD Card

Mr. John A. Nelson is very experienced on immigration. He is very knowledgeable, detail-oriented, patient and kind. He made the whole process stress-free and error-free. I'm so glad he helped me with my Green Card Application and Advance Parole. John responded each of my immigration questions timely ...and he made sure everything I do wouldn't have a negative impact on my Greencard process. Many many thanks to my lawyer John! I highly recommend Mr. John A. Nelson to anyone who needs help with their immigration!

Amazing work

We applied for my brothers through non-attorney services, Which ended up my brother being rejected for his circumstances, After a consultation meeting with Mr. Nelson, and Mr. Foroozandeh, They came out with a clear plan for how we can accomplish this and Mr. Nelson took every step possible to make s...ure everything was done correctly, From a denial status to be granted and accepted for naturalization and Oath ceremony. We are truly grateful for his help. If we would have gone to them in the first place we would have save 2 years.
