in the right hands

atty nelly navidi and weinstock immigration lawyers was recommended to me by my cousin. i had a very complicated case so my process took a long time (3+ years). and throughout the whole process, every step of the way, atty navidi made my husband and i very aware of what we should expect, what we nee...ded to provide information on and what she was seeing happening w/immigration law changes and process during the tumultuous trump administration. she and our paralegal were always very prompt in returning our calls/emails/texts and answering all of our questions. even when we finally got our uscis interview and atty navidi was overbooked, she was able to work her schedule out so that she was present and in the room w/us during our interview (which we highly recommend). it was a great comfort to us both. my husband and i are very thankful and grateful to have had atty navidi as our legal council and advocate and would highly recommend her and weinstein immigration lawyers, w/out question.

It was wonderful to work with you and your husband on your case. It was deeply satisfying when we received the approval. You were a tremendous help in getting the information we needed from the beginning. Together we were able to get the required documentation and overcome the challenges for your situation. It makes me very happy that the officer accepted our argument and approved the case. I know the case took a long time but we received the result you deserved. Best of luck to you and your family.

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.

Dear Carl, It gave me such pleasure to work on your case and to finally celebrate your approval. You case was unique and difficult but I knew we could get the result together. I know it took a long time but it was worth the wait! You have been a joy to work with the entire time. Best wishes to you and your family!

Fiance Visa

I needed help with an immigration issue. I need it to apply for a fiancé visa and I am thankful I got in contact with Nellie Nahal Navidi. She was professional at her job, she explained correctly and made it simple to understand all the steps it would take to get the visa approved. Nellie answer all ...my concerns and questions I had along the process and I couldn't be happier with her result! We got approved and now I am enjoying the company of my fiance he in the USA. Thanks to the services of Nellie and her team!

Thank you for your review, Alejandro! It was a pleasure working with you and your fiance. During these times, it is even more important to have an experienced attorney on your side as the policies frequently change. We were happy to be there for you every step of the way. It was so wonderful to have you bring your fiance to meet us in person. Best of luck to you both!

Great lawyer

We were so lucky to have met and worked with Nellie for my Adjustment of Status (marriage based) while staying in America. She has an amazing personality, never made us feel like it was going to be a daunting process, she made us feel so welcomed. She also didn't bombard us with information that woul...d have left us confused (which from what I've read that's how most people feel). What I loved most was she took her time and put all our concerns at ease. She covered all bases when it came to the options we had, then gave us advice on what was the best route to take. She was there for us throughout the whole process, she even prepped us for the interview. Now that we have gotten the Green Card in just 1 year, we feel like a load has been lifted off our shoulders and we can finally relax. It wouldn't have gone as smoothly without Nellie and the team!

5 star service

Nellie and her team were first class from start to finish in helping my wife and I through the immigration process, from the UK to the US. Working with Nellie brought a level of reassurance to the process and I would highly recommend anyone who is in a similar situation to engage with the team.
