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!

Processional Service

Before we attained Ms. Nellie services,my wife and I shopped around other " Big" Immigration lawyers,the ones you hear advertise on radio & t.v, we finally decided to go with Ms. Nellie because she showed the most interest in our needs! From the get-go Ms. Nellie and her staff earned our total trust.... Ms. Nellie is well knowledgeable in the whole immigration process. (She's-been-there-and-done-that) Whenever my wife and I had a question,she was a to provide answers the same day- Never did she say, "I'll get back to you" Ms. Nellie is on top of her game! Thanks to her, my wife received her resistance card with-in a year of retaining her services-

It was great to work with you both to obtain Adriana's permanent residence! What a great way to begin the new year. I enjoyed working with you throughout the entire process including the interview. There were USCIS delays but that is what we were here to help you with. We wish you both the best and hope to work with you again on any other immigration matters.

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.
