1. Leading SaaS Health Insurance Company Seeking a Dedicated Immigration Firm

American Visa Law Group was one of many immigration firms we had originally reached out to and interviewed when we were looking into leave our current counsel. In comparison to all the others, the experience, the knowledge Hasan and his team brought to the table was by far one of the best we had ever had in a very long time. His staff was always on top of our cases and filings, truly took the time to explain risks and prepare us for various scenarios in limiting us from denials and obstacles along the way. With the everchanging laws around immigration, we are confident and trust that we are in good hands Hasan and his firm. No words can express how pleased I am being the HR representative of the organization. We definitely made a smart move selecting them to handle all of our immigration cases. – Leslie S.

2. Heavily Litigated Asylum Claim

I was deported to South East Asia few years ago but I made it back to USA & ultimately won my case with Hasan’s help. I had an extremely complex case but Hasan guided me & together we had a plan. It wasn’t easy it was hard & scary for me to go through it but I made it back & will be getting my green card in a few months. I thought I had no chance of even returning to the U.S. I had to make a lot of sacrifices. I was detained for almost 7 months at INS detention facility before I was released I had to go through a grueling interview with asylum officer to establish that I had a credible fear of persecution & during the interview Hasan was on the phone with me. Few months after the interview (while still being detained had to be very patient process while being detained is very slow). I had to stay strong & pray with absolute faith Everyday) results came out & asylum officer established that I had a credible fear of persecution, after that it was just a matter of time until I was going to be released. I’ve been released since & last September 2015 immigration judge granted my case we had a prosecutor who was real pain in the side, but the IJ ruled in our favor & granted me relief. I thought with my past convictions & record that I had no chance of making it back, but with Hasan’s help & guidance I was able to conquer my fears & I was confident enough to go through with it & everything worked out. Hasan is diligent with his work & was always there when I needed him especially in the detention facility when I was so uncertain of the outcome, he also paid me a visit at the detention center in San Diego which provided me a lot of hope & security. I appreciate all your help, Hasan I know we experienced a lot from this incredible journey.  Thank you & stay strong! – James C

3. Endorsement from a Seasoned Litigator with 40+ Years of Experience

I have worked with Hasan on an immigration matter. He was completely prepared. I have also, recently, seen his response to an emergency situation where he turned out a critical multiple page brief within hours (a half day) of when the matter came up. He knows what he is doing and what the law is. You bet I endorse his work. – Philip Minter, Esq.

4. Extraordinary Ability Visa for a Young Graphic Designer

I don’t normally write reviews on anything, but I have to write one for Hasan as he changed my life. I’m a leading graphic designer with 5 years of professional experience. I had been working under H-1B visas for the entirety of my career up until a few months ago, when I finally received my green card! I’m very fortunate to have stumbled upon Hasan as he helped me obtain my green card and finally be able to live the American Dream. I remember approaching Hasan after seeing one of his Youtube videos explaining the complicated process of EB-1A Extraordinary Ability visa. This visa is known to be one of the hardest (if not, hardest) visas to get, and his thorough explanation of the visa process helped me understand my chances of obtaining such prestigious visa. I didn’t hesitate to contact Hasan to get an evaluation of my chances. He was cordial and candid about my chances. When I presented my case to him, he was honest with me, indicating that my case had a few concern points (which I ended up mitigating as we went along through the process). He was very clear with regards to what USCIS looks for when dealing with EB-1A cases and this insight gave me additional clarity in order to prepare the appropriate evidence materials for a strong case. It’s important to note that working hand in hand with your attorney on an EB-1A case is CRUCIAL. This is why Hasan is such a great attorney; he listens and gives 100% when trying to understand your background and your profession so that the case is prepared having a great understanding of your trade. Once all evidence and materials were finalized, the case was filed via premium processing. I’m happy to say that it was approved in just a few days! I highly recommend Hasan to anyone who’s seeking for permanent residence via the EB-1A Extraordinary Ability visa. He has changed my life forever and I’m incredibly grateful to have met and worked with Hasan. – Derek K.

5. Non-client Who Was Helped and Referred Out at no Cost

I messaged Hasan with important information prior to going in for a consultation and he researched and answered my questions. He could’ve dragged me in but was kind enough to answer a few questions. Most Attorneys want you to come in and pay before hearing you out. I value their time and appreciate Hasan’s willingness to help. It shows he cares. Thanks again. – Arturo M.

6. Savvy Entrepreneur With Several Cases Over the Years

Hasan is hands down the best immigration lawyer that I can recommend. This is coming from someone who has worked with 10 or 15 immigrations lawyers (I can’t remember) as an entrepreneur over the last 8 years and have been actively lobbying to ease immigration for startup entrepreneurs, including directing a movie on the subject. Not only has Hasan handled every single case or question I have thrown at him since 2010 with skill, care, professionalism and diligence, but every single case he has taken on for me has been successful. – Tarik A.

7. Supporting a Community Activist Devoted to Empowering DV Victims

Hasan is an absolutely amazing attorney to work with. He has the knowledge in the field, he has the patience, he does not judge you and he makes you feel comfortable no matter what the situation is. He is always there for me to refer people over to him, or if I personally have questions or concerns in regards to legal matters he is the first person I contact. Hasan has helped me among other people in regards to immigration matters. About 2 years ago we conducted a Domestic Violence symposium at Heald College in Milpitas and Hasan was on the Panel. He knew everything in regards to this matter and it was amazing to see how much information and resources and assistance is out there for anyone in an abusive situation and at the same time in an immigration problem. If you have immigration questions or know anyone that needs help be sure to contact him, he is not a wishy washy attorney he will respond back to you with accurate and detailed information and that is very admirable. When you are stuck in a rut and a attorney is answering you with full information instead of trying to take money out of you first, you know that makes this person a genuine attorney! – Naireesa M.

8. EB1C Multinational Manager Case Approved After Being Abandoned by a Highly Established Immigration Firm

I don’t know how to start, I had a very tough  EB1C I-140 case that was pending an RFE response. I had earlier consulted with one of the most leading firms in the country who had also advised to withdraw my EB1C application due to the complexities in my case. I came to know of Hassan and his Law firm through  recommendations and decided to consult with him.  He was  honest  about the challenges in the case and  gave me  a clear strategy on what we needed to do to present a strong reply for the  RFE .Hassan and his staff worked closely with me and my  company  in gathering  all evidence to support my I-140 case. Not only was he diligent, but i really felt like he cared about the case.  Hasan not only reminded us about  all the details that we needed to pay attention to. Also, he  gave us clear direction of every step. It was always easy for me to meet with him or reach him via phone and email whenever I needed help from him or had questions. The work paid off in the end, and my nightmare was over when I recently came to know that my I-140 was approved. I am thankful to Hassan and his team and am  planning to refer him  to any of my  friends who need help with immigration issues. You can really  count on Hassan and his team and know that they are going to work hard for you. If someone needs a great immigration lawyer, hire this firm! – Anup R.

9. Complex E-2 For a Real Estate Investment Startup Company

Hasan and his team are fantastic. Ours (my wife and I) was an E-2 Visa case, with a pretty tough situation. But special thanks to Hasan and Mengci for her tremendous research, we got the 5 years E-2 visa very smoothly. Both Hasan and Mengci thoroughly studied our case and guided us through each step and weaker points of our E-2 visa application. Their office atmosphere is very friendly, and even friendlier staff.  Our E2 application was related to Real Estate business, and it was a tough call.  But thanks to this team, we were successful. I strongly recommend Hasan and his team for any immigration case. JUST HIRE HIM. – Nav S.

10. H1B for a Law Clerk
American Visa Law Group is a great law firm. They are miracle workers! They prepared my H1B application and I am very satisfied with the results. They have a great understanding of immigration laws and they make complicated/difficult cases easy to understand. My H1B case was a very challenging one, because I do not have a science background like the majority of the H1B applicants. I have a master of laws degree and it was challenging to justify my position as an H1B specialty occupation. However, American Visa Law Group got my case got approved without getting any RFEs! It is crucial to chose the right law firm for your visa application because the law firm you chose makes a huge impact on your application results. I have colleagues holding the same degree as I am which also went through the H1B route with different immigration law firms but so far my visa is the only one getting approved without an RFE. My colleagues received RFEs. I definitely recommend American Visa Law Group to any LL.M. candidates/graduates looking to pursue the H1B route. – Zeynep H.
