Greencard - Removal of Conditions

My situation was one that many people face out there; filing single to remove conditions on a 2 year green card. I found Weinstock Immigration Lawyers during my research online and it was a pleasure getting to work with Nellie. Nellie was professional and most importantly well prepared. Nellie took t...he time to listen to my situation, asked questions to ensure that she was well informed and just made the entire situation feel hopeful. Due to the nature of my situation, I had to be interviewed to have those conditions removed and having a professional made a difference. I was nervous as most folks would be as this determines how you move forward and Nellie's personality kept me calm throughout. In the end, I was granted my 10 year green card and I can attest that using Weinstock Immigration Lawyers was well worth it. The lawyers' fees are reasonable and you get the service and expertise of professionals that will walk with you through this journey.

Spouse visa

Nothing but professional service with Weinstock Immigration. My husband and I had a positive experience working with Nellie Navidi and Alina Cox in this firm. You both did an excellent job in assisting my husband to get his green card. They both were available via email or phone call - and they alway...s answered all questions with solutions to any issues we had. The process was lengthy, however they walked us through every process detail. At the beginning of the process we were overwhelmed with all the paper work we had to provide and all the personal information needed only to start the process. Than we wait and wait . Patience is required each step take time. At times we were getting fustrated if you hear that it will take 2 or 3 months it's best to double the time. We wait 6 months to get our first approval. Let's not forget we were not the only one asking for a spouse visa. I have to mention the fact that we were not in the US and we had a 6 hours time differences. That didn't make it easier to communicate but when my wife need to talk to Alina or Alina needing to talk to us they would set a time by email just like an appointment and we were able to get our answers or give answers or provide the paper work need for the remaining process. When finally our schedule appointment arrived with the American Embassy Nellie Navidi prepare us for the interview We cannot said that we came accross any difficulties with Alina Cox or Nellie Navidi. I just believe that when they worn us that it takes time we never realize that it was going to take a long time Thanks, Nellie and Alina. We look forward to your help once again in getting my husband his US Citizenship. I would definitely recommend Weinstock Immigration Lawyers for your all your immigration needs, they are the best.

It was a pleasure to work with you and husband. We were equally frustrated that USCIS took longer than expected to approve his case. We are looking forward to work your husband on his naturalization petition. We wish you both the best!

Kind, knowledgeable, efficient

Working with Nellie was like working with a good friend who also happens to be your immigration attorney. During our initial consultation, she explained the steps towards obtaining a Green Card through marriage vs fiancee visa which was extremely helpful for me and my husband - and she made it so e...asy to understand. Nellie and her team did a wonderful job with filing our case and preparing all the documents for me to take to the interview. They were always there to answer any of my questions and even offered me an interview prep - which helped so much because I knew what to expect. My case did not experience any delays whatsoever - all thanks to Nellie and her team. Thank you for making my immigration journey so much smoother!

Great and personable immigration attorney

Nellie Navidi was my lawyer for my immigration and naturalization process. She has a wealth of knowledge regarding immigration matters, was able to provide insights based on her extensive experience, and this helped with navigating the complexities of the process. When there were delays from USCIS, N...ellie personally followed up, and provided me with regular updates on the status of the application. Retaining Nellie and the Weinstock firm was a worthwhile investment, and I highly recommend her.

Highly recommended

I needed a very good immigration attorney for my family and I, so obtain a green card with our unique situation. I have considered a few options, but some friends have recommended the office of Weinstock, based on their experience so I have decided to hire them as well. We were pleasantly surpris...e with our experience working with this firm. Although the process itself is very complicated and cumbersome, their office made it very clear and as simple as possible for us to go through. They were always on top of things, very efficient and always courteous, and we did get our Green Card in the time frame they have predicted. Obtaining a Green Card is not a cheap process, however I feel confident that our investment with the Weinstock Firm was well worth it I would highly recommend this firm for anyone needing help in their immigration process
