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.

Excellent outcome from excellent service.

Nellie and her PL Lisa did an amazing job when it came to handling my case. It was suppose to be an easy case but just like in any case things happen that are out of our control. The manner in which they handled the road blocks with such determination and positivity was amazing to me given the frustr...ation one is already under. Their hard work put me at ease knowing that my case was in the right hands. I thank Nellie for the hard work but most importantly for the peace of mind my family and now have.

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
