Our founder and lead attorney, Jennifer Nimer, is known for her experience with immigration delay lawsuits – also known as Writs of Mandamus.   She has filed nearly 400 federal lawsuits – not only against USCIS but also against U.S. embassies and consulates abroad. Attorney Nimer believes that many applicants are unfairly labeled “security concerns” or are put in extended administrative processing without justification.  Through her immigration delay litigation, she has reunited dozens of families – including children who were stuck abroad away from their parents, families affected by the travel ban and individuals applying for various types of non-immigrant visas.

Attorney Nimer successfully resolved over 21 lawsuits for nationals of Iran, Syria and Yemen who were subject to the PP9645 travel ban and experienced unreasonable delay in issuance of a waiver.  Attorney Nimer also regularly files lawsuits on behalf of individuals who have been stuck in administrative processing for F, J or H visas as well as for all types of USCIS delays.

Prior to opening her own firm, Attorney Nimer worked for the Columbus Chapter CAIR-Ohio, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, from 2004 – 2018.  She received her bachelor’s degree from Capital University in 2000, where she majored in Criminology and minored in Psychology.  She earned her Juris Doctorate degree from Capital University Law School in 2003 with a concentration in Family Law.

Attorney Nimer is admitted to practice law in Ohio, and is also admitted to federal courts for the Southern and Northern Districts of Ohio, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern District of Indiana, and the District of Columbia as well as the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.  She has been a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) since 2011.

TESTIMONIALS

  • Nimer Law got us a waiver!
         When my wife couldn't get a waiver to get her spousal visa because of the travel ban, Nimer Law filed a lawsuit against the government to get our case approved. We can't thank Mrs. Nimer enough for her help. Without the lawsuit I'm sure we would still be waiting for waiver approval instead of starting our life together in the U.S. Thank you Nimer Law!

  • JA, Cleveland – Delayed naturalization application
    Finally got to go to Hajj
         I always wanted to go to Hajj and you made that happen for me. I can't thank you enough for making my dream come true.
  • We can finally start our life together
         My wife and I had to live apart for the first 3 years of our marriage because the consulate in Jerusalem would not give my wife an answer on her visa application. I had to spend a lot of money traveling back and forth to see my wife. We had to put our life on hold and put off having a family until we could get my wife here to the U.S. I was starting to loose hope when I saw a news article about Mrs. Nimer and how she filed lawsuits for delayed immigration applications. I'm so happy I contacted her to help my wife and I. Within three months, Mrs. Nimer got my wife approved and she is now with me in the U.S. and we can finally start our life together as a normal married couple.

  • Reunited with my children
         I didn't know if I would ever see my children again because the consulate would not give me an answer on my visa application. Attorney Jennifer put an end to six years of separation for me and my family. I am so happy that I finally got to come to the U.S. and be reunited with my wife and kids. I can't thank Mrs. Jennifer enough for what she did for us.

  • Helped me Get Asylum
         I came to the U.S. from Syria. I was so afraid to go back, and could not go back or I would be tortured or killed. Mrs. Nimer took my case and spent so much time with me working on my asylum application. She was very thorough preparing my application and getting me ready for my interview. I'm happy to say my asylum application was approved a few months later and I am now safe here in the U.S.

         Jennifer was knowledgeable, quick to act, and delivered excellent results. My Fiance was in Iran and we were stuck in administrative review for a year. With her guidance we were able to force a 2nd interview only weeks from when she filed our lawsuit and was able to clear her administrative review having her here only 2 months later. Couldn't be more happy with the service and results, highly recommend her and have to others.

  • A great experience from a professional attorney is awesome!

         Mrs. Jennifer Nimer was there from the beginning to the end. Words cannot describe her professionalism, knowledge and support in my case. Not only did she talk, she walked the talk! "Action-Action-Action" is what most dream of from an attorney; but when i had her support, this dream became a reality. My case: I had been waiting for over 3 years when i decided that i can wait no more for my spouse's U.S. immigration case. She filed all the necessary litigation forms with the courts based on the information she had. She communicated effectively with the U.S. attorney about my case and she was able to successfully finalize a bright outcome after maneuvering around a few heavy obstacles. I was referred to Mrs. Nimer by another Attorney friend who i cannot thank enough. Every dime i spent was reasonable and effective! In this day and age, one needs to re-evaluate options and consider the very best legal team; i believe she delivered on her promise. Thank you for your expertise, support and being there in my offense till the end! God bless you and your team! (more…)

    Jennifer is one of the best immigration lawyers in the United States and anyone who is represented by her is truly fortunate. I have hired her to handle over 20 cases of people I know, and had successful completion of all of them. What I respect most about her is honesty and diligence. She will only take a case if the likelihood of success is high, and is up front about the risks from the beginning. She has many years of experience, and her attention to detail and the professionalism of her staff goes above and beyond. She responds to clients in a timely manner, and her fees are reasonable for the services she provides. She is a gem!
