The non-immigrant visa classification covers a broad range of visas used to enter the United States for work, pleasure or study. Some visas are considered 'dual status'; you may attempt to obtain permanent residency (a green card) while under that classification. Most non-immigrant visas, however, require you establish the demonstration of non-immigrant intent.
Our firm constantly strives to provide personal and relevant legal solutions for your business. We can assist you in the following areas: Business Entity Formation including Limited Liability Company (LLC) C and S type Corporations Limited Partnerships (LP), Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP), Professional Corporations, and Non-Profits (501(c)(3)).
Your estate is comprised of all the things that you own: your car, your home, your bank accounts, your investments, and all the other personal possessions you have accumulated. No matter the size of your estate, it is wise to have a solid plan of how those things will be distributed to other people or organizations after you are gone.

I can't say enough good things about this office. From the beginning, they were upfront and clear about how the entire process would go. Verna has been consistently kind, patient, understanding, thorough, and always returned my numerous calls and emails regarding our case.
Having been to another immigration lawyer prior, the contrast in treatment was night and day. The price is extremely fair and they're upfront. Please do yourself a favor and use this office if you need any help with your visa cases. They are great.

I've been a client of Verna for several years, she helped me obtaining multiple O1 Visas and my parents get the Green Card.
Communications were always smooth, clear and helpful, both via email and phone. Worth mentioning how efficient is Shervin as well.
I'm very satisfied of the way I was assisted, and I will keep referring to them in the future.
I definitely recommend Polutan Law Group for any immigration needs! 5 stars!

Verna and Shervin are an absolute blessing to my immigration journey as an artist in the United States. I say this because I've experience 1st hand how compassionate, intelligent and reliable this firm is. She wants you to win and she will walk you through how to get there. I've retained her for many years and always trusted her on handling my visa. If you're searching for a lawyer to handle your O-1 or EB-1 visa or even file for any immigration benefit, your search should end here. Be worry-free, they got this!

I had an excellent experience working with Verna and Shervin. To begin with, they helped me achieve the goal, which is the main thing! She helped me get my O-1 Visa and I. gotta say, it was not an easy process. Verna helped me throughout the whole thing, always with care and patience and helping me through every step. Something I appreciate a lot, is her availability to just have a call with me when I need it in order to answer my questions, same with Shervin. Both are super responsive and helpful!
I am fortunate to have had them work on my visa process and I would highly recommend them to anyone

I just got to know my O-1 got approved! I think my favourite part about dealing with Verna is that she's kind and welcoming. The visa process can be daunting for most immigrants, but she guides you through it with ease and her friendly nature. There are definitely other lawyers who can be intimidating and will make you feel like you don't have what it takes. I'd say, speak to Verna first because she's frank about things but also just nice to deal with. Thanks Polutan Law! Recommended.

Verna has been an absolute God-send for me! She was already one of my best friend’s lawyer and did wonderful in assisting her immigration process and from her recommendation we decided to go with Verna for mine as well and she has been super helpful, always kind and attentive and explained things in a way we could follow as I’ve never been too great at understanding legal documents and it feels amazing to have the confidence of someone who knows all of this so well go through it with you and I never had to worry about a thing! I’d highly recommend her to anyone and have to multiple friends

I have been a long-time client of Verna, and I can only speak of good things. She has helped me apply for 4 visas and extensions and was very thorough with her guidance on how to build a solid case for the petitions. Her knowledge of the immigration law is extensive and she also is always up to date with current laws and procedures. All of my cases have been approved and I thank her for this! Do not hesitate to contact her!

I'm an artist from Switzerland and I retained Verna Polutan as my immigration lawyer in 2007. She walked me patiently step by step through the process of getting my O-1 Visa petition approved and she was always available to answer all of my many questions - without charging extra like so many other lawyers do. Four successful rounds of O-1 Visas later, she is now helping me to get my Green Card.
Also I'd like to give a special shout-out to Shervin Fazel who has been nothing but extremely helpful, knowledgeable, organized, and kind. I could not be happier to have both of them on my side

Verna and Shervin are experienced, reliable experts who you're looking for. In the process of getting O-visa, some people who had been scummed and abandoned warned me and gave me wrong advices. My only advice for the people who want to apply for O-visa is "Ask Verna first." Don't trust online gossip. She explain how much it will cost me clearly in the first meeting. My friend said," They gonna charge you more and more." Verna didn't. She replied to me quickly when I asked her questions. She was very patient with my poor English, too. I was very lucky to be able

Outstanding work. Verna is excellent, she explains clearly everything involved in the process of getting an O-1 visa. My case was special, I worked it before with other firms but it wasn’t happening until I met Verna and her team. Verna was capable of turning my case into a successful one showing all the strengths of my career as an artist. She guides before and during the process, and would show a solid work plan in order to make your case a successful one.

Verna and Shervin are someone you can trust and rely on. When I felt discouraged, she told me that I must fight for it, and so I did with their help. As a result, I received my TWO O-1 visas (first one in 2012 and the second one in 2015). In 2018, I had her help to file and apply for a green card and BAM! Got it!
They changed my life in the most positive way possible, with their professional, personal and kind support. I always refer her office whenever someone is seeking for immigration help.

Verna is an amazing lawyer! Both Verna and Shervin have been nothing short of amazing since I first met with Verna to discuss my O-1. She has always been patient, understanding, generous with her time and, most importantly, incredibly knowledgeable. My O1 visa was approved thanks to Verna and Shervin!

My O1 visa was approved 3 years ago and also renewed recently through this firm. Both Verna and Shervin have great personality and it was great to work with them. I heard so many horror stories with other firms like they are very responsive until you chose them, then their response become so slow once you paid money to them. But Verna and Shervin are always very responsive, I emailed them with many questions and they usually email back within 1 or 2 business days. I was supposed to start my renewal procedure but I was very late, but they finished everything on time as they promised. Thank you

Verna was the best throughout my O-1 visa application! She was very informative and was very responsive to all my questions and doubts. My application got denied because a USCIS officer totally mishandled my case BUT Verna saw it through to make sure it got approved in the end and it did! She is the best immigration lawyer cause no one else puts in the time and effort into a client's application like she does. She is also very thorough and honest. I always recommend her to my fellow international artist/musician friends!
