Best Immigration Law Firm

I’m thrilled to share that I got my EB1A approval, all thanks to Anu Gupta and her incredible team at Immigration Desk! Selecting the right immigration attorney is crucial here in the U.S., given the heavy backlog and complex immigration laws. Even small mistakes can delay your dreams, as I’ve unfort...unately experienced in the past. I’m so glad I finally found a law firm that helped me reach my ultimate goal—getting out of the visa cycle and becoming/soon to be a permanent resident. If you’re looking for an attorney for employment-based green cards, especially EB1 cases, look no further. Anu is exceptional—thorough, responsive, and committed. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much, Anu and Ian

We thank and appreciate Anu Gupta and Ian Meyer for their outstanding service. They were always available and responsive when we were traveling overseas. They stayed with us every step of the way to provide guidance, clarifications that helped us navigate the complex process of applying for and ob...taining the green card. Their professional knowledge and advice was invaluable during a time of uncertainty regarding the rules and procedures. We strongly recommend them.  Geetha and Ramachandran Natarajan

Very knowledgeable and helpful

I had called the firm and was connected to Anu, she was very informative and humble. Hearing every question of mine in my first call itself and gave information which helped me over to think on what I would like to proceed on. After the call I had quickly saved her number as my immigration lawyer and... I will be working with her soon.

Woo-Hoo!!! Got My Green Card!!!

I filed for my adjustment of status in October 2020 and I got my green card in November 2021. The entire process was handled in a smooth and efficient manner. Anu Gupta and her team at Immigration Desk ensured that it stayed like that from the start/end of the entire process. The approach towards han...dling my case was straightforward and transparent. I was made aware of the progress in a timely manner. Most importantly, Anu was always reachable, listened to my concerns/questions and answered all of them. Getting my green card was a breeze with Anu Gupta. Hence, choosing Immigration Desk for filing my adjustment of status was the right thing I did. I would definitely recommend Anu Gupta for all immigration needs. To conclude, I want to express my sincere thanks to Anu Gupta and her team at Immigration Desk for their outstanding work.

O-1 A Noid - MIT SF MBA

I worked with Immigration Desk - Attorney Anu's office to respond to my O-1 A - NOID petition for my O-1 visa. I came to her after my previous attorney delayed my RFE response by five months and wasn't committing to submitting my response for NOID within the stipulated timeline. She took up the chall...enge and wrote a very persuasive and thorough response within three weeks. I am very impressed with her knowledge of immigration laws and her approach to a very complex issue for my O-1 A NOID. She always answered calls and responded to emails swiftly, unlike other lawyers in the past I've worked with who will take you for granted once you have signed the service contract. In the past, I've worked with four lawyers recommended by my school - the MIT International Student office. Right from the first call, she was polite and responsive. She took time to explain her approach and was flexible when I asked to take a different approach when my potential employer asked. Attorney Anu and Ian come with my highest recommendations. I hope to work with her on my green card application and O-1 transfers once this is behind us. If you have a chance to work with her, please do without any hesitation and know that you are in excellent hands. While most law firms paint a very pessimistic approach to immigration issues, she sets the tone with a very positive and outlook and continues with the same mindset throughout out. Unlike most other law firms I had worked with in the past – Attorney Anu and Ian won't keep you waiting or not answer your emails, or worst take the maximum time they can use as per law to your petition. I was fortunate to have found her, and I wish I had met her sooner and had not lost a lot of time. Based on my experience with her and Ian, I recommended her to the MIT SF MBA program and MIT International Student offices.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
