With 25 years of professional experience and a deep knowledge of USCIS procedures, Nelli Ashrafyan and her team are equipped to handle even the most complex immigration matters.

Political Asylum

Protection for those who need it most

Political Asylum

Seeking asylum is one of the most significant and emotionally demanding immigration processes. We guide you through every step with expertise, compassion, and meticulous attention to detail — helping you build the strongest possible case for protection.

  • Affirmative and defensive asylum applications
  • Comprehensive case assessment and strategy
  • Personal statement preparation and review
  • Supporting evidence documentation
  • Interview preparation and coaching
  • Appeals and motions to reopen
  • Withholding of removal and CAT protection

Asylum cases require careful, thorough preparation. We work closely with each client to ensure every aspect of their claim is clearly and compellingly presented.

Appeal an Asylum Denial

If your asylum application was not approved following an interview at the asylum office or in immigration court, we help you understand every available option. Depending on your circumstances, this may include asking the asylum office to reconsider its decision; fighting your case in immigration court if it is referred there; appealing an immigration judge's denial to the Board of Immigration Appeals; or filing a federal court appeal of a negative BIA ruling. We will analyze your case, tell you which routes may help, give you an honest assessment of your likelihood of success, and represent you in responding to the denial.

Asylum Interview Preparation

Perfect for someone who wants a more hands-off approach but still wants expert insight before their interview. We act as a consultant — not your representative — conducting a full-scale mock interview that mirrors the real experience in format and question types. Drawing on deep experience with asylum officer interviews, we predict the questions most likely to arise based on your application and your answers during the mock session. After the mock interview, we debrief with you, provide targeted pointers, and strategize on how to present your case most effectively when the day arrives.

Asylum Support, Beginning to End

Our most comprehensive asylum service — full representation from pre-application strategy through to your final decision. We begin with a deep understanding of your life and the circumstances that may qualify you for asylum, then work with you to frame your story compellingly. We collaborate on all application materials, including a legal brief that ties the facts of your case to the applicable law, guiding the officer toward the conclusion you need. Before your interview, we conduct a mock session to prepare you thoroughly. On interview day, we are right beside you — advocating, supporting, and ensuring you are heard and treated fairly.

Immigration Visas

Navigating the path to your future

Immigration Visas

Whether you are pursuing a work visa, student visa, tourist visa, or a specialty immigrant classification, we handle the complexity so you can focus on your goals. We stay current with USCIS policy changes to ensure your application is always accurate and timely.

  • Employment-based visas (H-1B, L-1, O-1, EB categories)
  • Student and exchange visitor visas (F-1, J-1)
  • Tourist and business visas (B-1/B-2)
  • Investor visas (E-2, EB-5)
  • Special immigrant categories
  • Visa extensions and change of status
  • Consular processing and visa interviews

Visa requirements and processing times vary significantly. We assess your specific situation and recommend the most appropriate visa category for your goals.

Family-Based Petitions

Reuniting families, one case at a time

Family-Based Petitions

Family reunification is at the heart of the American immigration system — and at the heart of what we do. We handle every petition with the care and precision it deserves, ensuring your family's path to being together is as smooth as possible.

  • Immediate relative petitions (spouse, children, parents of US citizens)
  • Family preference category petitions
  • Adjustment of status (Form I-485)
  • Consular processing for family members abroad
  • Conditional residence and removal of conditions
  • DACA renewals and related applications
  • Naturalization and citizenship applications

Family-based immigration timelines vary by category and country of birth. We provide realistic assessments and keep you informed at every stage.

Certified Translation

Accurate translations that meet USCIS standards

Certified Translation

Immigration applications require certified translations of foreign-language documents — and accuracy is non-negotiable. Our certified translation services ensure your documents meet all USCIS requirements, with translations that are precise, complete, and professionally certified.

  • Birth, marriage, and death certificates
  • Diplomas, transcripts, and academic records
  • Court documents and legal records
  • Police clearance certificates
  • Medical records and reports
  • Personal identification documents
  • Business and financial documents

All translations are certified to meet USCIS requirements. We translate from Armenian, Russian, and other languages into English with full certification.

Strategy Session

Get A Strategic Assessment Of Your Situation

In a Strategy Session, one of our asylum lawyers talks with you by video conference or telephone to understand your circumstances. You'll tell us your story, we'll ask you questions, and then we will tell you whether we think you have a good shot at getting asylum.

We Give You an Honest Answer

Most immigration lawyers try to be as vague as possible on whether you'll succeed in your case. We don't do that. We'll tell you whether we think your chances for success are low, medium, or high. Many lawyers will tell you what you want to hear, and will take your case even if you have no chance for success. That's not how we do things. You really don't need to pay thousands of dollars to an immigration lawyer if you have virtually no chance of winning.

We Explore Every Path

In light of the facts of your case and your immigration goals, we will tell you whether we think it makes sense for you to apply for asylum. In the event that asylum isn't right for you or there's an even better path for someone in your shoes, we'll refer you to a trusted partner to explore other possible routes to get you permanent immigration status. We also explain to you how asylum works.

What You Leave With

You will leave the Strategy Session knowing where you stand, and with a better understanding of your options. Or maybe you've already applied for asylum and are now keen to strengthen your case and prepare for your interview — there's lots we can still do to support you.

  • Honest assessment: low, medium, or high chance of success
  • Clear explanation of how the asylum process works
  • Guidance on whether asylum is the right path for you
  • Referral to trusted partners if another route fits better
  • Support options if you've already applied and need help
