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 a...nd I am retaining her to process it as well. She is good and is very experienced.

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 a...ppreciate 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 se...nt 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.

Dear B thank you for your very kind words. I appreciate the time you spend writing this comment. I hope one day I can attend one of your husband's concerts in Vancouver after the pandemic.

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.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
