Prior successful immigration cases
Example cases that this lawyer has handled for their clients
A foreign national married to a U.S. citizen seeking to adjust in Immigration Court
Case type: ICE
Who: Foreign national
Background: The client faced serious allegations from ICE, who argued the client had committed fraud by providing certain information during a prior employment application. ICE claimed this disqualified him from adjusting his status. This case presented significant challenges and was one of the most difficult trials of my career.
My work: I meticulously reviewed the alleged fraudulent information and built a legal argument demonstrating that the details provided were not contrary to immigration laws. During trial I focused on proving that the information in question did not constitute fraud under immigration law.
Result: rejecting ICE's
A legal permanent resident in removal proceedings
Visa type: green card
Who: U.S. citizen
Background: The client had lived in the U.S. for over 15 years, supporting his U.S. citizen wife and children. The client faced deportation due to several criminal convictions, which jeopardized his LPR status.
My work: I challenged the deportation by arguing the client’s convictions should not be classified as deportable offenses. I also gathered evidence of his rehabilitation and the severe hardship his deportation would cause his family. In immigration court, I emphasized his deep ties to the U.S. and the significant impact on his family.
Result: green card Approved
DACA recipient who sought to obtain an employment-based green card
Visa type: green card
Who: Psychology researcher
Background: The client’s work in psychology was of significant value to the U.S., making a strong case for a National Interest Waiver. Despite the complexities of transitioning from DACA, we aimed to demonstrate that the client's contributions were essential and that waiving the standard job offer requirement was in the national interest.
My work: I carefully prepared the NIW application, highlighting the client’s research achievements and the positive impact of their work on public health and welfare. I also navigated the legal steps necessary to move from DACA status to a permanent residency path.
Result: green card 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

EB2 Green Card
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.
