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.

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!

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.
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.

Can H1B Workers Work Remotely Remote work has become a normal part of life, but for H1B workers, the rules aren’t always straightforward. Many employers and employees want to know: can H1B workers work remotely? The short answer is yes — but only under specific conditions that follow USCIS and Department of Labor requirements.
Reasons Why an H1B Amendment is Required If you’re working in the U.S. on an H1B visa or managing employees who are, it’s crucial to understand the reasons why an H1B amendment is required. But in reality, the H1B program is designed to stay aligned with your actual job — your real work location, duties, responsibilities, and wages.
Why H1B Visas Are Good for America Why are H1B visas good for America? When you hear the debates, the headlines, and the heated opinions, it’s easy to forget something incredibly simple: the United States has always been powered by talent. And not just local talent — global talent. That’s not a coincidence.
What are the new H1-B rules? If you’ve been following H1B updates even a little bit, you already know this year feels… different.
