Nellie Nahal Navidi

Nellie is an absolutely experienced and brilliant attorney! She is attentive to details, Patient, calm, easy to communicate with and understand. She and Laura made the process easy from filling the forms and putting documents together, replied to email fast, picked calls and always available to answe...r questions. Even when I told her to go ahead to file without complete supporting documents, she gave me reason why it was a bad idea and made sure all documents were complete before sending them out. My AOS process took about 8 months and a week to receive my permanent residence card after filing. Thank you.

Hello everyone I am Landry, I had an immigration issue that I thought hopeless. I have been living in the U.S as an out of status F-1 student for 8 years. Thankfully, my wife became a permanent resident through her employer. Fortunately, I did not accumulate any unlawful presence (This was before... the law changed on August 9, 2018). But I could not adjust my status to that of permanent resident, because I was an out of status F-1 student. The attorney of my wife's employer refused to help me. I went to see another well known attorney who told me that my best option would be to wait until my wife became a citizen and then try to adjust my status. I went to see another well known attorney who did not even know that F-1 Students did not accumulate unlawful presence. After doing a lot of research on the web, I found Weinstock Immigration Lawyers. They had great reviews and I needed to check them out for myself. So I called them and they assigned me to Nellie. During the first appointment Nellie told me that the fastest way for me to get a green card was to do "Following to Join". It was the dreaded consular processing but through "Following to Join" I had a greater chance to get an immigrant visa and then a green card. I was scared of the consular processing because visa officers in my country are renowned to be tougher. But Nellie reassured me that everything would be okay. And my wife had peace about it. So we retained Nellie as our attorney. Nellie did such a great job that the USCIS found me eligible for a green card about 45 days after sending my application to them. It was supposed to take longer, something like 4 months at least. Then my case went to the NVC and after that to the U.S Embassy in my country. So I went to my country for the interview and the consular officer put me under administrative processing for 2 months. Then she denied me the visa. She requested a waiver from me for unlawful presence. That inexperienced visa officer did not know that as an out of status F-1 student I did not accumulate any unlawful presence. Nellie worked her magic again and contacted the legal department of the department of state. Therefore, the decision of the visa officer was cancelled. She had no choice but to issue my immigrant visa. But, she purposefully delayed issuing my visa for 2 more months. Nellie had to contact the department of state again. Even after that, the visa officer waited 2 additional months before issuing my visa. It took me 9 months of waiting in my country before the immigrant visa was finally issued to me. Honestly, Nellie and Laura, her paralegal, have been outstanding. They were very responsive and supportive during these 9 months of stress and anxiety. They responded to my emails sometimes within minutes, reassuring me that everything would be alright and that the law was on our side. Nellie literally had my back! What I can say is this: don't just a lawyer; hire an experienced, outstanding and passionate lawyer like Nellie and the people at Weinstock Immigration Lawyers. Concerning the lawyer fees, Weinstock Immigration Lawyers worked with us. They put us on an affordable payment plan. It worked out great and we did not break the bank. The result of that investment is that I am officially an immigrant after more than a decade in America. Landry

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!

Nellie represented my wife and I in our case for marriage. Nellie and our team were able to explain to my wife any and all questions she had were able to answer any and all questions I had. She is very easy to talk to, professional and experienced. There was never a doubt in my mind that we had th...e best Lawyer to represent us.

Nellie was very thoughtful when she was working on my case. She enumerated necessary preparation work and all possible issues for helping me obtain my PR while I was not in marriage. We worked together through out a long pending period and eventually got my case done. I strongly recommend Nellie if ...you have any immigration related issues.
