“Dear Amira: I want to truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for my wife and our entire family. We are living a different life now. A life knowing that my wife is here to stay. You are truly an angel, and we will never forget you from your "no lose" attitude, to the professionalism you and your staff show your clients. I cannot imagine having found a better lawyer than you.

You are truly the best at what you do, and it's hard to explain the feeling we now have to just have the feeling that we can go somewhere and not worrying any longer about our family being separated. We can now go wherever we want, and it's an amazing feeling. I can only imagine how my wife must have felt all of these years knowing that she might have to leave her family. It's as if she's been born again, and this is the start of her new life, and our life as a family.

Thank you for all of your hard work. We are forever grateful!”

“When I applied for my residence with Amira Al-Alami she made the entire process very easy for me & my family. She made sure that everything was taken care of. The paperwork and court appearances were easier than expected. She made sure that I was calm and stressless throughout the process. Not only did she help me, but my wife Delmy went through the process for her citizenship as well. Overall, it has been a wonderful experience for both of us. We couldn't be happier.

Thank you Amira!!!”

“I first met Amira at another law firm. I instantly realized that she was very professional and efficient in what she does. Shortly thereafter, I learned that she was moving to open her own practice. She is smart, direct, polite and was always available to answer whatever questions or concerns I had from start to finish during my filing for Adjustment of Status with USCIS. In addition, I must say that she is very affordable and has never once surprised me with any hidden fees. She is an amazing person and a very good attorney.”

In a very simple fashion, I would like to thank my lawyer, Amira Al-Alami for all of the help she has given me. Frankly, words do not exist to describe the effect that she had in my life in obtaining my permanent residence so I could remain in the United States. She is a wonderful attorney who has an incredible work team that facilitated my immigration process. More than just my attorney, I consider AmiraAl-Alami to be my "life coach" because she prepared me both legally and emotionally for my process to be easier and faster. Thank you very much from Jesus Lazo for helping me keep my beautiful family united.

We are the Hernandez family and our case was primarily a Child Status Protection Act case. You see back in April 2001, my dad, who is a US Permanent Resident, petitioned for my mom. At the time of the petition my brother and I were underage. Thus, we qualified to adjust status along with my mom, given the approval of the petition and the status of our priority date was current. The previously mentioned petition was pending for about four years—give or take a few months. So it wasn’t actually approved until
2005.

On June 2007 our priority date became current and due to some misinformation, we missed our chance to adjust status. At this time I was 20 yrs old going on 21 and my younger brother was 19 going on 20. It wasn’t until mid 2010 when my family and I began to look for legal advice on our case because we wanted our options laid out for us. Mind you that during this time I was 23 going on 24 and my brother was 21 going on 22. So, we began to search and came upon lawyers who looked at our case and said that my mom didn’t have a problem adjusting status—one actually mentioned how there was a possibility she might be turned down for having waited to so long to adjust status— but that the real case was whether or not my brother and I qualified to adjust status along with my mom given we qualified to file under Child Status Protection Act. You see, we had missed the one-year requirement to adjust status under CSPA—that’s where the case was. Previous lawyers told us that unfortunately we didn’t qualify under CSPA and that, should we proceed with our attempts of adjusting status, we would put ourselves at risk of deportation. Keeping previous legal advice in mind, we continued our search for someone that could give us some hope and could guide us well.

In 2010 we were forwarded to The Law Offices of Amira Al-Alami. By this time my family and I were a bit pessimistic and didn’t have much hope, but what else did we have to lose? We explained our situation to Amira and she listened carefully and then asked questions. At the end of our interview she said to us, and I will always remember this because this made us take that leap of faith: “El que no arriesga no gana” (“The one who doesn’t risk, doesn’t win”). She was right, what else had we to lose? We could have sat there and hoped for a miracle or be proactive and take a risk. She explained to us the possibility that our petition to adjust status could be denied, but that deportation wasn’t automatic and there was the choice of appealing and having a judge decide. She inspired a lot of trust in us because she was honest and explained all possible outcomes, while at the same time giving us hope that not all was lost given a worse-case-scenario.

I’m glad we made the decision to have her be our legal representative in this matter because it was being deported that frightened us. She did a great job, was with us every step of the way, prepared us well, and at the end we were all granted our petition and are all now Permanent Residents. Whether it was destiny or something else, I don’t know, but I’ m glad she came into our lives. Thank you all including your legal assistant Rosario for everything.

“Amira Al-Alami was successful in obtaining the extension of my O-1 Visa and then my lawful permanent residence. It was Amira's suggestion that we petition for my permanent residence. I had not realized that I would be eligible for what appeared to me to be an almost unobtainable visa.

I found Amira to be extremely thorough, professional and dedicated. She was flawless in her research, writing and presentation of my documents and takes great pride in her work. Amira also possesses a very warm personality and has shown a genuine interest in my career.”

“Dear Amira: I wanted to thank you for representing me in obtaining my permanent residence in the United States! As you know, it has been a very long journey for me since I moved to this country! If it were not for you, and the time you invested in my case, and above all, the determination you had in getting my case approved, none of this could have happened. You believed in me, and for that I do not have the words to thank you!

I knew from the first time I met you that I had made the right choice in hiring you as my attorney. You always explained things to me in a manner that I could understand. I also appreciate the fact that you made sure that I would ask questions if in fact there was something that was difficult for me to understand.

Thank you for everything!”

Studying, working, and obtaining permanent residence in this country is challenging. Amira understands the subtleties of the process and exhibits exceptional knowledge and professionalism. She has been able to make every step clear and achievable. Even in the face of unexpected bumps along the way, she was able to find a solution that worked.

As an immigration practitioner, Amira knows what it takes for health professionals to succeed in this country amidst a sea of regulations. I whole heartedly recommend her services to anyone.

My firm, Optimist, Inc., hired you a few months ago to help us navigate through the process of obtaining an H-1B visa for one of our key staff members. Optimist is a lifestyle-marketing agency based in Los Angeles, CA. Its work is designed to touch people in ways that excite and engage via urban culture, entertainment, sports, music, gaming, fashion, travel, live and social media experiences.

As you are aware, this very same application had been previously denied by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service when we had been represented by another attorney in Los Angeles. Desperate for help, we handed this case to you hoping for a positive result.

I am happy to say that you successfully rebuilt our case and were very attentive to our questions and needs at any given time. It was our experience that you are very easy to work with, and highly efficient in your job. Optimist had a great experience all around with your law firm.

My wife and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us throughout our naturalization process. Until we sought your help, we were unsure about so many things related to the process. We were told so many contradicting things by those who went through the process before us, pertaining to procedures, timing, expectations, etc. This lack of certainty adversely affected the quality of our lives, which consequently impacted our productivity at work. I cannot describe to you how discouraging the sentiment was at home.

After you came on board, it was like the difference between day and night. You used your incredible talent, experience, attention to detail, and knowledge in the ever-changing immigration laws to set for us a very clear and realistic time path. I am not exaggerating when I say that everything you told us would happen did happen! From the time we sent our applications in, to when we were finger-printed, to our interviews, and finally the oath ceremony, everything went just flawlessly. Throughout the process, you didn’t forget that you were dealing with human beings—you always managed to find the time out of your busy schedule to comfort us.

I wanted to write you this note to let you know how appreciative we are. You may never know how much comfort and peace of mind you brought to us—but you did! We are proud Americans now—citizens of the greatest country in the world!

Thank you, and God bless you!
