Sumaiya is a real professional in immigration law. Me and my husband been working with her for our asylum case for almost six months. She’s made our case with us and sent it in time we wanted. She has even canceled her vacation just to be on our interview in USCIS. As a result – we got asylum granted after the interview.

I found a lawyer who made me feel comfortable to share my deepest secrets that I haven’t shared with anyone until I came to see Sumaiya.
As a gay refugee and immigrant, it felt very comforting to tell her the episodes of my life that I dared not to share with anyone because of fear. I want to THANK Sumaiya for helping me to overcome my fears and tell my story from the heart. Thank you for being there for me with a tissue when the tears were pouring down my cheeks. Thank you helpimg me to win my asylum in the USA.

After consulting my case with 3 lawyers I wasn’t sure who to hire and someone I know recommended Sumaiya in the last minute. After our first call, I immediately decided to work with her. She was very clear and patient answering all my questions.
Despite the Covid situation, we got my application ready in 3 weeks by working through Zoom (other lawyers told me it would take 6 months) and my visa was approved in less than 1 month without paying premium processing.
It was absolutely a pleasure to work with Sumaiya and I will surely recommend her services to anyone wanting to pursue the American Dream.

Sumaiya helped me and my wife through the whole process of filing for asylum – from scratch to the end result. And the result was successful.
The whole process of becoming an asylum seeker was very frightening and Sumaiya did a great job at putting that at ease. She is very knowledgeable, honest, and professional. She is also a good communicator and gentle person, which we found very helpful when it comes to having to open up and tell personal things in detail. We felt her support throughout the whole process – she was always ready to answer questions, explain and analyze everything in detail. We highly recommend Sumaiya kalique!

Sumaiya Khalique is a fantastic lawyer and a lovely person. It has been a pleasure working with her. At my first meeting with Sumaiya, I was expecting to hear that the process I was seeking assistance with would be expensive and drawn out. Because of her deep knowledge of immigration law, and her persistence, she was able to help me get my U.S. passport in just six months. Sumaiya made the whole process a lot smoother and easier than I could have imagined. She is trustworthy, reliable, and prompt in her communication. Sumaiya was always patient and willing to take the time to explain things I didn’t understand, and she was also available when my family members had questions. I would highly recommend Sumaiya to anyone looking for immigration related assistance.
