Read what Arab American families in San Francisco say about our Arabic-speaking asylum attorneys.
Client review
“Applied for my marriage-based green card and got an RFE questioning whether our relationship was genuine because we had a short engagement. My lawyer put together a detailed package — photos, joint accounts, letters from family. Approved without needing a second interview.”
Nisreen T.

Client review
“Opened my second restaurant location and needed to bring my business partner from Cairo. E-2 visa process was complicated but she made it straightforward. He arrived in LA eight months later. Already planning location three.”
Amira L.
Los Angeles, California
2025
Client review
“Our case was complicated. We'd been in the US for over a year before applying, which I later learned makes things harder. The lawyer explained all our options clearly and helped us understand what to expect. Took almost two years but we got approved.”
Fadi N.
San Diego, California
2025
Client review
“Brought my parents from Beirut. The consulate there was backed up badly but she knew how to expedite based on my father's medical condition. They landed at LAX fourteen months after we started. Fastest family petition anyone in my community has seen.”
Dalia K.
Glendale, California
2025
Client review
“Got a removal order after a minor criminal charge from years ago. My lawyer reopened the case and argued for cancellation of removal based on my ten years in the US and my American-born kids. Judge cancelled the removal. I get to stay with my family.”
