Great Success

We needed help getting a spouse visa. Our situation was complex and required great understanding, skill and compassion. Nellie Navidi had all of these qualities and made us feel very comfortable. Although our visa petition was denied and denied again before we hired them, Nellie prepared an appeal ...that fully answered the concerns expressed by USCIS and our petition was finally approved. We now have the visa in hand. At one point we were at a crossroads and needed to decide whether to continue or stop. But, one of Nellie’s team, Vered Hod, inspired us to continue so we did. We needed someone to fight for us like lawyers do on TV. The TV version is rarely found, but Nellie and Vered helped us to fight and succeed. The cost of their work was reasonable and really less than other lawyers. Nellie has a great team. Vered, Yareli, and Marissa were all involved and there are many others in their office. They are professionals that you can trust with the most difficult situations in immigration.

You couldn’t be in better hands!

My case wasn’t straight forward, but Nellie handled porting my Visa, Green Card application and ultimately getting my Citizenship. She is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate and extremely professional. I would not want anyone else representing me!!

Renew green card

Nellie Navidi and her team are absolutely the best. We had Nellie represented us 2 years ago for my conditional green card, the team got things done quickly and always kept us posted about the process. Having Nellie come with us during the interview was worth it. I submitted all paperwork in March 20...16, got my work permit 4 months later and the 2-year green card in November 2016. Fast forward 2 years later, I need to renew the green card and we are very happy to have Nellie helping us again. All paperwork submitted in September 2018, the team got it sent to the government in just a few days. A year later, I finally got my 10-year green card. During the waiting period, we moved a few times, Nellie’s team always assist us to change the address with USCIS promptly. Now I’m ready to apply for the citizenship, and we won’t trust anyone except Nellie to help us with this. Everyone is nice, friendly and very professional. My questions, concerns or requests were always responded in a timely manner. They are so great when it comes to working over email, that is an extra points for us since we were always busy with work. I would definitely recommend Nellie and her team to anyone that need help in immigration matters.

Simply the Best.

My Boys and I had the most complicated and difficult immigration issue to resolve; I spoke with a few immigration lawyers in the Atlanta area and was told that our chances to be approved for a permanent residency were slim. I was then advised by a colleague at work to speak to a highly reputable lawy...er Ms. Nellie Navidi and as they say the rest is history. Because of my profession, I deal with many lawyers around the world and I can categorically and without any ambiguity state that she is the best I have dealt with. She is truly a star and managed to solve our immigration issue in a timely manner and we were treated with the highest professionalism. We are very indebted to Ms. Nellie Navidi and her team.

FEELING VERY SATISFIED

My wife and I hired Ms Nelli Navardi, as my Attorney on a very difficult case, to handle my Immigration status which took 2 yrs to finalize due to my criminal records in another country. All in all this was a very a trying case with many turns in the road. But I am so grateful to Ms Navadi who wor...ked relentlessly on our behalf in handling my case. she was always very respectful and worked with a heart. When I met her i just knew she was the right person for me. she showed great interest in seeing this case through even as she showed up at the interview, which was the last straw when we sat before the officer, who would give the final ruling. Ms Navadi held her grounds and spoke up on my behalf when it was time to do so. All in all i would recommend this Attorney highly. Well done Ms Nevadi you delivered. Thank you. and most of all I give thanks to the creator which made all this possible.
