Also, Rohit's referral to such a great team.I do highly recommend Ashoori Law to all immigrant and non-immigrant applicants to the U.S.read more

My I-140 for the EB2 NIW has been approved!! Thank you Michael and Lahaina of Ashoori Law, and thank you USCIS!Prior to meeting Michael Ashoori, I had frustratingly worked with 3 other immigration law firms over the previous 6 years to ensure my... business, my children and I were always in authorized and lawful status. With these firms I felt not quite versed on the in-depth immigration picture, not sure of the chances of success of any particular route, uncomfortably wondering if the advise and steering was the right path for me and my family for the long term, or was it short term fixes thereby requiring further filings in the future. I paid some pretty hefty fees too, and often was left wondering if the option I was being recommended was the best option for me or was it the most lucrative for the law firm.Michael was a breadth of fresh air!Whilst researching my queries online I found Ashoori Law through the videos Michael posts - the videos were focused, informative, and dealt with pretty much the whole picture in respect of the topic he spoke on. The tone was chatty and Michael came across as very approachable, conveying the law in terms I could understand, without losing the detail. After watching the first video, I searched for more and binge watched all I could find before reaching out to Michael!During my initial consultation I felt so reassured by not only Michael's extensive immigration law knowledge, but also the way he explained options. Everything he said made so much sense, was applicable to my circumstances, and he laid out my options clearly, giving honest evaluation as to the process, the timeline, and chances of success. He didn't do it piecemeal or in isolation, he looked at the full picture as to how my application would affect my family in the long term - definitely an important factor when kids risk being aged out at 21. Michael looked at my background and was confident that I could be successful in the EB2 NIW category. His analysis of how I met the requirements and what I would need to do to evidence my experience, knowledge and expertise gave me the confidence to proceed in the belief I merited the category.The team at Ashoori Law handled the whole process so smoothly and efficiently, with full disclosure at every stage, and it was a speedy filing - under 30 days!!Ashoori Law have a fantastic online portal, where the whole application is managed - you can monitor step by step what is required, there are user friendly forms for information gathering, and easy uploading of evidence documents. Messaging is handled securely through the portal, enabling the whole application history to be in one place, readily accessible for any future query.Having filed, Ashoori Law didn't go silent on me! With the delays in processing at USCIS due to Covid and post Covid challenges, Michael and Lahaina were always happy to have an update discussion and keep me reassured - and sane!I leave this review because Michael's evaluation of what was required for success in my immigration journey has made a phenomenal difference to my life, for which I am forever going to be grateful. I leave this review as an experienced immigration applicant who has tried some of the most well known firms in the country - firms that promised the world, charged the earth, and generally failed in the objective they were contracted for. Michael delivered on his promise. Thank you Michael.read more

I would like to say thank you to Micheal and his team for exhibiting a great level of professionalism in the way they handled my case. Firstly, they made it easy for me and my husband when they sent a link for us to simply upload all our documents... on a portal that was only accessed by me and the Firm for review before submitting to uscis. Considering we were at the peak of the pandemic at the time, this process was hustle free and safe. The follow ups and prompt notifications via email is top notch. Their pricing is fair. I appreciate the phone conversations with other Attorney's at Ashoori Law, who guided us and answered every single question we had. If I had to go through this process again, I would definitely retain Michael and team. They make the process look so easy. Thank you for your assistance!read more

Highly recommended! My process went very smoothly and I got my green card within significantly shorter time period than was estimated. While the timing doesn’t always depend on the firm, it helped enormously to ensure that paperwork was complete and... correct. The communication has always been very consistent and quick. The only thing I might recommend to improve is forwarding process (time it takes to resend a document to USCIS), however other than that I’m very happy with the support and the outcome. Thank you!read more

I married my husband from India and ran into some issues with the certification of the marriage. I was searching for a law firm to represent us in the immigration process and called Michael Ashoori. I spoke with Alessandra initially and during the... process told her of a problem we were having with certifying our marriage in India. She solved that problem for us with just that phone call and I knew I had the right firm. I hired them and the rest is history. I can't say enough good things about Michael and the staff. They have been there for us from start to finish. Everyone has been so wonderful to work with. Even my sister in law in India that has a business with immigration follows Michael Ashoori on YouTube. She raves about him. Not only has he helped us through this process but the education that he provides has been invaluable. It has helped us to understand the process and we feel confident and prepared. Thank you Michael and all of your staff! We appreciate all you did for us!read more

Someone followed up weekly via email while we filled out questions in their online portal and gathered the funds needed to submit everything.DONT TRY THIS ALONE! The staff I worked with at Ashoori knew how to take all of our answers from within their online portal and fill out every gov form, along with knowing what documents we needed to supply to USCIS.PS: follow their YouTube account for interview tips and time-table updates- it helps calm the nerves.Thank you guys ❤️R&Cread more

They provided clarity on the total process with affordable pricing and clear time lines, were very knowledgeable in dealing with complexities and all their staff showed the required attention to detail to complete paperwork accurately and timely.

Michael and his team deserve more than a five star rating. I hired Mike already based on a recommendation from a friend of mine, who also requested his services. My friend gave him five star as well, and this could simply not be different.Since my... first contact with Michael, I've perceived his solid ethical principles, responsive professionalism and personal attention to all details in US immigration complex process. In my case, he was key for me to obtain I-131 permits for three Green Cards - and the documents were shipped after just six weeks after the process initiation. In another process, he has been immediately responsive to replace Green Cards. And all my contacts were online - which is a testimony of his great online reputation.If you are looking for US Immigration lawyer assistance for true delivery, great value and avoid risks and potential problems, the answer is Michael Ashoori Law, with his fantastic team, that really and personally takes care of your immigration needs.JCread more

Knowledgeable, Effective, Methodical and Professional:I am very pleased to provide a recommendation for Ashoori Law firm and its ability to provide expert immigration service and counselling. Last year I worked with Lahaina Araneta from Ashoori... Law, who I found an exceptionally experienced immigration lawyer. I was fortunate to have her available to represent my case to file my NIW petition application. Lahaina was very helpful, friendly and informative as she guided me throughout the application process. I was reassured with her quick response and detailed information with clarification whenever I have questions regarding the process. She guided me to gather all the required documents for making a strong case. In the end, Lahaina prepared the application package professionally and skillfully with care and submitted on time. My NIW petition got approved within 8 months of submission. Ashoori Law is now working on my immigration application and I am so grateful to have Lahaina, especially Ashoori Law to represent my case. They are easy to deal with and is highly recommended!read more

My husband and I contacted Ashoori Law as we were looking for an immigration lawyer to help us with an E2 investor visa.Michael got back to us immediately and we had a call to discuss the project. He explained the visa process in details and... suggested a change of status inside the US as we were already here under another visa. This was wise advice! Due to the pandemic we would have been stuck outside the US with a change of visa.The premium package included the business plan and business formation. We also had an EAD application.Everything was taken care of by Michael, Lahaina, Ehsan and James, an extremely responsive and knowledgeable team, who did a fantastic job answering all our questions along the way and making sure everything was right so we could get the business started quickly.We feel very fortunate to have found Ashoori Law and will definitely work with them again in the future!

I highly recommend Ashoori Law to anyone without a doubt. I came across Michael youtube videos and ended up setting a free consultation. From there I join them and the whole process has been very seamless.From gathering information to filing all... the petitions everything went very well.The best points of Ashoori Law firm I would like to mention are1. The Lawyers assigned are very friendly so you can share all your concerns, they are going to help you with all the options for your situation and suggest you the best from their expertise.2. They are amazingly responsive to any of your emails which I think is biggest plus. So they will reply to all of your email within hours if not minutes and they will entertain all your calls and queries.3. When you have some question and they are not sure they will do proper research and get back to you with detail explanation rather than giving you speculations.I would always come back to them for my any immigration related needs in future as well.read more

Ashoori Law, what can I say went ABOVE and BEYOND to help us with our K1 Visa and getting my wife her Green Card. Before Ashoori Law, we were stuck trying to figure out how to do the process ourselves only to waste money and energy while getting... nowhere. After consulting with a previous Lawyer, she told us everything we needed to do for the process. When we were finally ready, she then started working for Ashoori Law, and we were excited to get started with the firm. Ashoori makes sure you are well informed every step of the way, and exceeds your expectations on what to expect throughout everything. The case is so well organized and structured, and the CUSTOMER SERVICE is TOP NOTCH!! To be honest, it doesn’t feel like you’re just paying for a service, it really feels like everyone there is rooting for you in your case. I can’t recommend them enough. They were more than wonderful and there’s not enough thank you’s that can be given to such a wonderful group of people.read more

I was impressed at how much Lahaina Araneta, Esq, understood my case (EB1 Green Card) and not only did Lahaina to help with any questions along the way, several assistants were always available to cover anything else needed.I could not have asked for anything more and am very grateful to Ashoori Law for their guidance through this process.
