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.

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.

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!

Would Give 10 Stars or More If I Could

My name is Richard. I am a former green card holder and a current US citizen. For nearly two years since I passed my naturalization interview, I had not heard any decision from USCIS (approval or denial). Every inquiry I sent to the USCIS gave me the same reply: wait. Every Infopass appointment I... went to got me the same answer: wait. I lost hope on ever getting my citizenship, which is why, when Nellie got me an oath letter, it felt kinda surreal. But when I swore my allegiance to the US today in the ceremony, I knew it was real. I am actually a US citizen now. Looking back, I wished I had asked for help from Weinstock earlier. The lawyer who helped me, Ms. Nellie Navidi, is professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. At the consultation, she sat down with me and clearly laid out different options I had. Throughout the process, she kept me informed and always replied my emails within 24 hours. Her communication and organization relieved a lot of stress of me, as I knew that my case was no longer static anymore. She went to the Infopass appointment for me in the morning and within six hours, rescued my case from the administrative sinkhole and had my oath scheduled for the following week. Nellie and all other lawyers at Weinstock have been in this business for many years. They know how to deal with USCIS. They know when to be nice and patient, and when to push USCIS with just the right amount of force to get things done. I highly recommend those who have difficulty with immigration to contact Weinstock. It saves so much time and energy, not to even mention their very reasonable price.
