Work permit- Athlete Canada and USA
Ms. Homa helped me with my work permit to Canada and it happened very easily. During Covid-19, I crossed the border and showed my paperwork to the CBSA officer and they let me in. My work permit is approved until the end of the season. My work permit for the USA is expiring by the end of this year and I am retaining her to process it as well. She is good and is very experienced.

Spousal sponsorship- Canada
I called a few law firms during pandemic and they all said it is not possible. I called Homa and she said let me think about it and do some research will let me know. I hired her because I trusted her. She was very honest. My wife has done medical and biometric and we are waiting for her visa.

Appeal- Parents- Sponsorship
Homa helped me through the appeal process of my parents' sponsorship application. Based on the officer I did not meet the residency requirement to sponsor my parents. Home helped me through the process and the issue was resolved by alternative dispute resolution without going to a formal hearing. I appreciate Homa's insight and her attention to detail. She is well orgnized and experienced immigration lawyer.

Spousal sponsorship
I hired Homa to help me with sponsoring my husband. Our spousal sponsorship application was complicated because it was rejected in our first attempt because of lack of knowledge of an immigration consultant. When Homa started to work on our application, I just found out that the 1st application we sent was extremely incomplete and that was the reason of rejection. Homa reviewed our eligibilities and was so positive that the application will get approval this time. She is not that kind of lawyer who gives you false hope. She gathered all the required documents plus many supplementary documents and submitted the most complete application. My husband's application got approval after 16 months in pandemic. She is very professional, detail-oriented and understanding. She knows what she is doing. I appreciate her professional work and wish her all the best in her life.

Spousal sponsorship
I hired Homa to sponsor my wife. My case was complicated since I was divorced with a child and my wife is 15 years younger than me and never married. Homa took my case and with her knowledge and experience, my wife received approval in less than 7 months without an interview. Thank you Homa.

Parent’s sponsorship
Homa helped me through the appeal process of my parent’s sponsorship application. Her great advice and guidelines through the process were critical to achieve the desired outcome. Homa is not only a very professional and knowledgable lawyer, but also cares about her clients genuinely. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is seeking immigration lawyer.

Canadian Spousal Sponsorship
I hired Homa Yahyavi as my immigration lawyer to help us with sponsoring my Husband to Canada. She reviewed my eligibility as sponsor. My husband had lost his permanent resident status in Canada and was issued a removal order and was back home. Ms. Yahyavi help was on time since we did not want to deal with stress of the process of our Spousal Sponsorship application. She made the process easy for us and was with us step by step. She sent us all the update she received from IRCC. I suggest her to anyone looking for an Immigration lawyer.

US Waiver
I retained Homa to help me with my USA Waiver. I had a few encounter with law a few years ago and when I was crossing the border between Canada to the USA I was stopped and turn back with a few papers given to me by CBP officer and letting me know that due to my past action I have been found inadmissible to the USA. I visited her and she gave me instructions and within a few months I received a positive Waiver and could travel to the USA. She is an excellent lawyer.

Spousal sponsorship
I was lucky to have the opportunity to work with Homa Yahyavi to sponsor my husband to Canada. I have been trying to sponsor my husband to Canada for several years but no luck. With help of Ms. Yahyavi, my husband was in Canada in just few months. Not only is she hard-working and knowledgeable, she also sincerely cares about her clients. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer.

Canadian spousal sponsorship
she did it very smoothly. I met my wife while travelling. My wife application became complicated since it was returned many times. She made it just a breeze. We should have retained her since day one.

Consult-retained
She was thorough, honest, her price was reasonable. She is extremely friendly and spends so much time with the file that you would think is that is the only file she has. Sometimes, she goes to details so much that you think she does not believe you or accuse you of lying but when I received my approval I knew why she does it.
