CASE RESULTS
Recent Immigration Victories
Deportation Prevented — Asylum Granted
A client in removal proceedings, his case damaged by prior counsel's failure to appear at his interview, came to Ray Arvand in 2017. Over two years ArvandLaw gathered evidence, conducted interviews, located witnesses, drafted memos, and secured a psychological evaluation. Deportation was prevented and asylum was granted in 2019.
Withholding of Removal — Convention Against Torture
A client with a prior foreign criminal record who entered the U.S. on fraudulent documents faced removal to a country where his execution was near certain. Ray secured Withholding of Removal under the Convention Against Torture.
Affirmative Asylum Approved — Religious Conversion Case
A client who had converted from one religion to another faced near-certain death if returned to their home country, where the conversion is a criminal offense. ArvandLaw secured affirmative asylum approval under priority scheduling issued by USCIS in January 2018.

Asylum cases are some of the highest‑stakes matters in immigration law, because the outcome can decide whether you are safe or at risk. ArvandLaw approaches these cases with the understanding that there is no backup plan if they are handled poorly.
​
ArvandLaw has secured asylum and withholding of removal for clients in some of the most difficult situations, including past criminal history, entry on fraudulent documents, and cases damaged by prior counsel. Each new case benefits from that hard‑earned experience and is built to confront the government’s doubts head‑on.
​
If your safety depends on the result, you need representation that treats your case like it is life‑defining. ArvandLaw is built for that level of seriousness and preparation.

Asylum Cases Are Won or Lost on Preparation. Even Serious Past Mistakes Can Be Repaired.
A strong asylum case is not built on forms. It is built on credible testimony, corroborating evidence, documented country conditions, and when needed, psychological evaluations and expert witnesses that explain what you have lived through. Cases involving criminal history, a denied prior application, or serious errors by prior counsel demand an even higher level of strategy and preparation.
​
ArvandLaw is used to working in that terrain. The firm takes on cases other attorneys will not touch and applies experience from prior wins in difficult situations to rebuild the record, confront weaknesses directly, and give your claim its strongest chance to succeed.
