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 inadmis...sible 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.

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
