Example cases that this lawyer has handled for their clients
E-2 for Italian National Businessperson
Who: Italian National Businessperson
Background: The client received a denial with prior counsel for a seemingly strong E-2 case. The client owned a busy organic and vegan ice cream shop in Los Angeles, California
My work: Typically, brick-and-mortar food establishments are considered strong E-2 applications. Yet, upon the review of prior counsel's work, I was able to remove excessive information that hid the strong investment and business potential of the E-2 enterprise. The client went into his reapplication interview with in-depth prep and knowledge of potential questioning. He received an immediate approval at one of the more notably difficult consulates (Rome)
Result: E-2 Approved
EB1A for Independent Filmmaker from Kuwait
Who: Independent Filmmaker
Background: The filmmaker had received multiple national awards and was a rising film director - with a promising career. He had not yet seen his full career potential, but was eager to permanently relocate to the United States to make this happen
My work: I worked diligently with the client to show that the awards and recognition he had received, perhaps not immediately recognizable as extraordinary to USCIS, were remarkable accomplishments that were telling to the client's potential with US relocation. He received an approval with no RFE. He has now been recognized in the most prestigious US film festivals, such as Sundance
Result: EB1A Approved
EB2 for Mongolian National Businessperson
Who: South Korean Research Fellow
Background: The client is a Mongolian national who ran a phone accessory importing business. The client did not fit into the typical NIW applicant profile. Yet, he had years of high net revenue tax returns and several US employees
My work: I shaped the NIW application to focus on the taxable revenue my client brought into the US and the domestic job creation his business generated. We created a business plan that focused on how his business was a shining example of US entrepreneurship and ingenuity. My client received an approval with no RFE
Result: EB2 NIW Approved

Hi Ariel, Just wanted to say THANK YOU for an amazing service and assistance with this case. It started a year ago, and now after all those months, I can relax (at least from this aspect). Just to share with you that it was one of the biggest administration challenges I need to complete as part of the company's Reset. Thank you again

Daliah was recommended to my husband and me by an executive at the company we both work for, and she was very helpful as we prepared for my husband's K1 visa to immigrate to the United States. She provided Certified English Translations for my husband's Israeli documents, including court records. She met with us and helped us organize our documentation and navigate the visa process.
