Investment Green Card

Sally skillfully navigated a complex investment green card case involving a multi-party family. She carefully and expeditiously shepherded every step of the way and successfully secured green cards for the entire family. She was always responsive to us and proactive in mitigating delays in the gove...rnment review process. Sally is a credit to her profession.

Super attorney

I highly recommend Mrs. Amirghahari for her excellent legal services. My wife and I were initially referred to Saloumeh for our family trust about (3) years ago. She reviewed our personal, business and financial information very thoroughly and provided valuable legal advice that led to setting up ou...r family trust. She keeps us informed about important issues that may have an impact to our case. We continue enjoying her legal advice also for our private and business related issues. We found her to be very trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable and friendly attorney that keeps her client's interest as the highest priority.

Simply the best.

I really cannot express enough through words how amazing Sally is. My husband is from Iran and we met in London, so we needed a lawyer to help get him a fiancé visa. Thank God we found Sally. US immigration law is so complicated and if any detail is completed incorrectly it can delay the process for ...months. Thanks to Sally, everything was completed perfectly and we got his visa in no time. She has such a vast knowledge of US immigration law and she had amazing advice. After getting his fiancé visa, Sally also helped him get his Green Card and his US citizenship. She is worth every penny. She was always available when we had concerns or questions. I cannot recommend her enough.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
