About The Movahedi Law Group — Immigration Law Washington DC
Immigration law Washington DC residents and families from around the world rely on when their status, future, and family unity are on the line is the specialty of The Movahedi Law Group. Located at 5335 Wisconsin Avenue NW in Washington, DC, the firm is led by attorney Babak Movahedi, who handles adjustment of status, green card applications, citizenship, and family-based immigration with a combination of deep legal knowledge and personal accessibility that clients consistently describe as exceptional. In FY 2023, USCIS completed over 10 million immigration cases — a record — and approximately 818,500 green card holders were naturalized as U.S. citizens in FY 2024, reflecting the enormous scale of the immigration system that clients must navigate. Immigration law attorneys across the country help families work through that system with confidence.
Babak Movahedi is praised by clients across multiple languages and countries of origin for his responsiveness, affordability, and genuine investment in each case. He handled one client’s citizenship process in under eight months. He secured green cards for parents of U.S. citizens when other attorneys said the cases were impossible. He responds to calls and emails quickly — often the same day, sometimes within minutes — and he keeps clients informed throughout the process rather than leaving them in silence for weeks at a time. His French-speaking clients note his communication skills in multiple languages, adding another dimension to his accessibility for Washington DC’s diverse international community.
