Great Success

We needed help getting a spouse visa. Our situation was complex and required great understanding, skill and compassion. Nellie Navidi had all of these qualities and made us feel very comfortable. Although our visa petition was denied and denied again before we hired them, Nellie prepared an appeal ...that fully answered the concerns expressed by USCIS and our petition was finally approved. We now have the visa in hand. At one point we were at a crossroads and needed to decide whether to continue or stop. But, one of Nellie’s team, Vered Hod, inspired us to continue so we did. We needed someone to fight for us like lawyers do on TV. The TV version is rarely found, but Nellie and Vered helped us to fight and succeed. The cost of their work was reasonable and really less than other lawyers. Nellie has a great team. Vered, Yareli, and Marissa were all involved and there are many others in their office. They are professionals that you can trust with the most difficult situations in immigration.

Best Attorney

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.

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.

5 star service

Nellie and her team were first class from start to finish in helping my wife and I through the immigration process, from the UK to the US. Working with Nellie brought a level of reassurance to the process and I would highly recommend anyone who is in a similar situation to engage with the team.

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!
