Our Story: A Different Kind of Immigration Law Firm

The Nanthaveth & Associates team

Our story began in 2008 with a singular purpose. Founder Vi Nanthaveth saw too many families struggling within a cold, impersonal immigration system, where they were treated like case files rather than people. She knew there had to be a better way.

Nanthaveth & Associates was founded to be a different kind of law firm, one that combines unwavering legal knowledge with genuine human compassion. We built our practice on a foundation of direct communication and true partnership, ensuring our clients feel supported, informed, and respected at every step.

Today, that mission is stronger than ever. We never forget that behind every case is a human story. Your story is our purpose.

Our Focus in Action: 
How We Help Our Clients

  • I-601 Waiver

    Obtaining a Green Card with a Religious Waiver

    Facing a Green Card denial because of missing vaccinations, our client sought a religious exemption. We filed an I-601 waiver within 30 days, proving their religious grounds and securing their permanent residency.

    Case
  • K-1 Visa

    Bringing a Fiancée from Cambodia to the U.S.

    We managed the K-1 visa process for a U.S. citizen and his fiancée. Despite government delays, we secured the visa so the couple could marry in the U.S. and start their new life together.

    Rings
  • National Interest Waiver

    Green Card Approval for a Specialized Pilot

    We helped a flight safety director apply for an EB-2 National Interest Waiver. By focusing on his unique military and safety training, we convinced USCIS that his work was in the national interest, securing his path to a Green Card.
