Status Before Becoming a Resident: DACA Age: 30 Criminal Record: Arrested for a felony but never convicted Last Entry into US Type: DACA with Advance Parole If you are a considering starting the process of applying to become a permanent resident (PM) and you are looking for a Lawyer who is honest, knowledgeable, and very reasonably priced you should hire Ashkan. I hope this review will convince you why you should stop your search and go with Ashkan. I decided to go to him based on several factors including online reviews, price, knowledge, and empathy towards his clients. I have had several experiences with lawyers during my entire process of becoming a permanent resident. During each stage of my immigration process I went to a different Lawyer. The three different stages I went through were my initial application for DACA, my application for advance parole, and finally adjustment of status to become a PM. By the time I was ready to apply to become a PM I was very familiar with what the process would entail. That knowledge helped me vet several lawyers before I met with Ashkan. During my initial consultation with him I was able to determine that he was a lawyer that really cared about his clients and wasn't looking to over charge me for his services. He impressed me so much that we signed our contract that same day. Facts About Me I came to the U.S. when I was about 4 years old without documentation. I have grown up in the U.S. and was a pretty good kid growing up. I have only had one run in with the law. When I was in high school I stole something from a public park that ended up causing about $500 worth of damage. Since this was my first offense the arresting PD decided to give me community service in exchange for dropping the charges. As a result of this I currently show one felony arrest on my criminal record. This arrest record has made things a little difficult during my entire immigration process because despite what people may think USCIS does do their due diligence and they have always requested documentation of what happened. Lucky for me I was smart enough to keep the documentation proving that arresting PD did indeed drop my charges. So I have been able to get DACA, advance parole, and adjustment of status. Process of Becoming a Permanent Residence Ashkan was able to help me file my application for adjustment of status. He recognized that I despite my arrest record I was a perfect candidate for adjustment of status. For me I was able to adjust because I was a DACA recipient, who had been granted advance parole, left and entered the country with inspection and finally married to a U.S. citizen. The whole process took about 8 months. Ashkan did an amazing job helping me through the entire process. I would like to say where he really shined was with the interview. His knowledge of the process and his relationship with the immigration officials as the Santa Ana office made the whole process very easy. He gave me the best advice, which I would like to share with you. If you are in a real relationship you have nothing to worry about. That turned out to be very true because I got approved for my green card that same day! I would like to end this review by saying if you are fortunate enough to be able to apply to become a permanent resident then the best thing you can do is hire Ashkan. Doing so will probably be the best decision you can make. read more

This is T. Mafi, the wife of our beloved Mr. Maziar Mafi, Esq. My husband lived by honor, integrity, truth, and hard work. As we all know, Mr. Maziar Mafi, a very prominent attorney with a 30-year career passed away in 2018. I looked for guidance at the time for attorneys to refer his current cases to. Most of those that I interviewed at the time, would state during their interview, We knew your husband and his legacy. We apologize for your loss, but we do not and cannot handle some of the types of cases that he was able to take on. Your husband was a fighter. He achieved results that no one else could. Difficult shoes to fill; right? Well, I found Mr. Yekrangi. A miracle. I honored Mr. Yekrangi at my husband's one year memorial. Had him stand on stage, with a round of applause. I commended him in front of hundreds of people for filling my husband's shoes. Someone my husband would have been so proud of, a protector, a man of truth and honor. I was devasted not only by my family's loss, but also wanting to fullfil my husband's hard work, and making sure that his clients could be treated with the utmost respect that my husband would have expected. Ashkan was "instrumental" in helping me after Mr. Maziar Maf's passing, advising me, reviewing cases, taking over when he knew it needed to be done, at top-notch speed so we had proper referrals to proper specialists, and files monitored and reviewed. Mr. Yekrangi is of the highest integrity. I will be grateful to him forever; as well, my husband knew, he saw that Ashkan Yekrangi was a jewel and would fullfil his shoes as a legacy attorney - someone that always tells the truth, never tells a lie, and watches your back for your best interests. I consider him family, even though we are not. I have the highest praise for him, the man that he is and a true gift. I would also like to state that it has come to my attention, that other businsses and attorneys may be using my deceased husband, Maziar Mafi's name, to redirect business to themselves. There is No Doubt, that Mr. Ashkan Yekrangi, is the only attorney for immigration, that the Law Offices of Maziar Mafi is referring cases to. Please do not let anyone misguide you by throwing my husband's name out there as being affiliated or being referred to by his former office at this time. read more

Some of my family members almost gave up for their immigration process until Atty. Ashkan Yekrangi came along. At the beggining thinking that it was a simple process for a US Citizen to petition family members was a breeze, we had a 'preparer' that helped us through the process but it turned out to be an unusual & complicated road due to various reasons of legality our initial result was denied. Case being complicated, we started losing hope for a chance because we have seeked for multiple lawyers just to be declined due the reasons of the immigration that is almost-impossible to resolve. Then after a very thourough search, we found Yekrangi & Associates, Atty. Ashkan mentioned that this particular issue was all new to him as well as he has not dealt with this scenario before, but he agreed & accepted the case, the rest is history. Ashkan was very professional, easy to converse, honest with expectations, fees were upfront, & very reasonable compared to other lawyers but unwilling to take our case. He accepted & commited to take our concerns, gave his opinion with the case & briefly explained to us how the whole proceess will be in details; He then splitted the case in two seperate filing, proceeded with a case that he thought was less complicated with a successful turn out; Then he pursued, followed up on the next case that we thought was almost close to impossible, thinking 'no chance against immigration', but he guided us positively through the process step by step, every document he personally managed until we reached to the moment that we have patiently waited for, another accomplishment was given to us! This is definitely not an over-night success, it took us years, but it was worth the wait, both cases won seperately! Eventhough it was a challenging, very detail oriented, long hours of paperworks back and forth, & agonizing wait for the results, this hardworking team made the American Dream possible for our family. If you are searching for a great lawyer with a good team, I highly recommend this Yekrangi & Associates! We sincerely grateful for Ashkan & the staff for going through with us step by step in this immigration battle. We would have not done it any other way! Beyond satisfied with the results that was provided to us. Again, thank you! read more

Atty. Ashkan is a great, reputable and very professional lawyer. He handled my case and my husband case without any doubt. I remembered that the time when we are looking a lawyer, before we met atty. ashkan, we met three more lawyers that refused to handle our case because their reason they cannot do anything about it because our case were very complicated. My daughter she's the one who actually saw ashkan in the yelp. She research all about this lawyer and all thevreviews are really good. So she told me to go for the appointment but i said no i don't like anymore because that time i was really depressed and hopeless. But my husband and my two children said lets go nothing to loose only the consultation fee if just in case he refused, too. So we went there and when personally talk with ashkan we were very impressed on him. He listened very well to us. You can see the expression on his face, thinking, and one deep breath. So i said to myself oh no another lawyer again very disappointed on our case. And he started to talk and every words we heard from him starts me feel good and smile on my face and my family and i said this lawyer is very smart .He will not put you down instead he will give you hope and tells you the truth. So after explaining very well he said he will handle our case and its a big challenge to him. So he started to process and we met the deadline time. He works so hard and his staff untill we won the case. Tears of joy and happiness thats what feel and thanking god that he gave Atty. Ashkan to us. This lawyer and the staffs worked very hard and make sure they always meet the deadlines. Of course it will takes time because it depends on your case and you need to cooperate with them. When they asked you someting you need to provide on time so they can meet the deadlines. They know what they are doing just trust them and include prayer thats the most important. Now our journeys were over and I want to thank Atty Ashkan, Yanan and Lahaina for their successful job. If theres 10 stars i will give it to them. I highly recommend Atty. Ashkan to handle your case because i'm sure you are in good hands. Thank you and God always bless your heart to help more people! read more

Ashkan is a very good attorney and knows how to treat his clients. He agreed to take on my Employment based 485 case when I decided to move away from my previous attorney in Northern California. My previous attorney had a lot of gaps in her understanding of immigration law, was unreachable/Unavailable most of the time and charged me for each time she had to respond to my questions. I had a lot of issues with my previous attorney and working with her was stressful. Being an immigrant was stressful enough on its own, and I did not want to take any more of that treatment. So I decided to take action and find a better attorney. I found Ashkan's law firm via the internet and he came across as a highly recommended Immigration attorney and so I took my case to him. Transferring a late stage EB case was risky but Ashkan assured me things will be fine. Working with Ashkan was a totally pleasant experience and he made me feel at ease from day 1. Since the transfer, all my RFEs, Medicals, Biometrics and other USCIS requests were handled smoothly, and my case was finally approved and I became a US permanent resident. My spouse's family based case was also filed and successfully processed with his help. Professional and Knowledgeable, He and his staff will respond to your questions on time and in clear language. Based on my experience, I also recommended him to some of my friends including one who had a very complex case of a Brother stuck in Burma for years. I would recommend Ashkan for any type of immigration matter. Your Immigration case will be in good hands. read more

No surprise that he is having a busy legal practice! Mr. Yekrangi is an attorney whom you TRUST the first minute you step into his office. Without any reservation I would recommend Mr. Yekrangi for any of your legal needs in the field of immigration law. With respect and GRATITUDE, Alina. read more

Last year, I was in a bit of a hard spot. I was applying for my f1 student visa when I realized that I had hit a dead end. I had some really bad lawyers who wanted me to risk the process and go to the consulate down in Mexico. Had I ever crossed, there was a good chance that I would never come back to the US. My father and I were looking for other alternatives to fix this problem, and thankfully we found Ashkan and his team. Not only was he incredibly friendly and sympathetic when I first met him, but he gave us an enormous amount of hope and optimism when he told us that there is a chance to get my student visa. Without hesitation, we did everything he and his associates told us to do. As the months went by, I was starting to get worried. After 8 long months of nerve-wracking wait, I can proudly say that I finally got my student visa!!! There's even a chance that we might get my green card. I can't thank Ashkan and his crew enough for the amount of support and hope they gave me during this painfully long process. I can say without a doubt that he is the best immigration lawyer I've ever met. To anyone who has a situation like mine in their hands, don't hesitate to give Ashkan a call. I'm incredibly excited of what's next to come and I owe it all to him!! read more

I SALUTE Atty. Ashkan and his associates for their hard work and dedication for winning my parents turned out complicated case. We came to atty.

My husband and I were referred to Mr. Yekrangi about 3 years ago. We had already seen about 3 attorney's who gave us no hope of fixing my husbands status and had just about given up. One of them even charged us $1,500 just to review his case and later tell us there was nothing she could do. My husband had a felony that was deportable and since 2006, USCIS had not responded in sending my husband his renewed green card and because of fear we never pursued it. Once we hired Mr. Yekrangi, he was able to get my husband his green card and advised he should file for citizenship. My husband was terrified to do so but Mr. Yekrangi felt confident it could be done. After much thought and hesitation we decided to apply for citizenship as my husband did not want to live in fear always thinking he could be deported at any moment. Mr. Yekrangi was always honest with us about potential outcomes and was always available to answer questions for us. Last week my husband attended his Oath Ceremony and became a U.S. Citizen. We are very grateful to Mr. Yekrangi for all his help and honesty. Honest attorney's are hard to come by and we are so happy to have found him. read more

I first talked to Ashkan back on January and was extremely (pleasantly) surprised at how quick he was to respond to all of my calls and requests. Although my case wasn't the easiest, he was always there to help assure me that he knew what he was doing and that he was going to do his best to make sure that my case was executed well. One thing that was really nice about his service was that he was always happy to take my calls and went the extra mile to get to know me. Even before I had hired him, he was still willing to work with me and do research on my case to help me out and help me figure out what I needed. He was extremely candid about my case, which gave me the confidence to move forward with Ashkan as my attorney. Moreover, his technical ability as a lawyer is unparalleled and he knew what was going on every step of the way. His argumentation and writing ability is top notch and I would trust him with any case that I have with immigration. Ashkan is a wonderful attorney and human being and if you want a personable attorney that you know has the technical chops to back his work ethic and personality up, I wouldn't look any further. read more

I am writing on behalf of my mother, Maricela Moran, who was able to visit her home in Mexico after 33 years. It was such an honor to work with Mr. Emir Lakic who was able to make the process so easy and organized for my family and I. I am pleased and excited to say that his core values in his work have made all the difference in our recommendations to other family and friends who are also looking to get the process started. I am forever grateful that we had come across him and were able to trust him. Y pa los que preferían español, mi mama fue un cliente de Sr. Lakic y el le ayudo a mi mama agarrar sus Green Card. Después de 33 anos de estar aquí en los estados unidos, mi mama por fin pudo ir a Mexico a visitar donde ella creció. Me dio tanta alegría a ver mi mama tan orgullosa. Ahora tenemos el placer de segir trabajando con Sr. Lakic para agarrar permiso para mi papa que este ano va cumplir 34 anos sin ir a su país. No tengo dudas que Mr. Lakic no los va ayudar, recomiendo los servicios de ellos demasiado. Muchas gracias de nuevo, los agradezco mucho! read more

I hired Mr. Yekrangi for a detained immigration case, as I was in deportation proceedings. I was in a very bad situation, but Mr. Yekrangi would assure me that he would do everything he possibly could to help me be out of ICE custody soon. He was patient, kind, and understanding. He spent a lot of time on my case and fought for me in court to get me out of ICE custody. He truly cared about me and my case, unlike any lawyer has. After he was able to get me out of custody, he was able to win my case by getting asylum, so that I could get my green card back! My case was very tricky and had difficult circumstances, but even with all of that Mr. Yekrangi was still able to get me asylum. His hard work and dedication changed my life for the better and gave me a chance to live in the United States. I am forever thankful for his hard work on my case. He gave me my hope back. He is a lawyer who really wants the best for his clients and cares for them. He was always there to answer any questions that I had for him. Thank you Mr. Yekrangi! read more

My case was very, very complicated. I had tried twice before to obtain citizenship but was denied and had almost given up all hope. Then, I read some great reviews on Ashkan Yekrangi and decided to schedule a meeting. That was the best decision I made. From the minute I walked in the office, I felt at ease. Ashkan went over my case in details and then explained the law and my rights and how he was going to approach my case. When I asked him if he'd accompany to the interview, he was honest and said it was unnecessary and a waste of my money. Instead, we met before the interview and he coached me. Other lawyers would've come along and charged me the extra fee. Ashkan is not like other lawyers. He is honest, compassionate and treats you with dignity. He uses his great knowledge of the law to win cases, like he did with mine. I could not have become a citizen without his help. I cannot say enough great things about him and his professional team. Truly, the best in Southern California. read more
