Hi there, I’m Aizada!

I’m an immigrant, attorney, and tech founder.

Here’s my story…

In 2015, I graduated from Harvard Law School.

I couldn’t stay in the US due to visa issues and went to work in London.

Three years later, I moved to California with my husband.

When I moved back to the US, that's when the immigration nightmare began.

As I would with any other service provider, I used Google to find lawyers who could help me with my immigration process.

I found a firm.
I hired them.
I was given the wrong advice.

That advice led me to almost miss out on a job offer that, thankfully, I later secured.

With that frustration in mind, I realized I had to start a company to solve the problem professionals were facing.

Now, I’m building Alma to reimagine immigration legal services. Alma is designed to lead each case with speed, excellence, and care.

Disclaimer: Nothing I share on this platform is legal advice. Opinions are my own and shared for informational purposes only.

2025 Alma Wrapped is here!!

While everyone's sharing their Spotify Wrapped, we thought why not create our own version?

Here's what made 2025 incredible for us:

The numbers that matter:

Clients grew 8x from 100 to 850+

15 different visa categories handled (O1A being the top)

~99% approval rate across visa types

Launched our enterprise grade immigration platform

Team grew from 10 to 35 across legal, engineering, and sales

2025 taught us that when you solve a real problem the right way, growth follows naturally.

Here's to helping even more professionals navigate immigration in 2026 without the headaches.
