About Anu

Exceptional attorney with one of the highest approval rates for visas and green cards

We at Immigration Desk are very excited to welcome you as our client. Our aim is to provide excellent legal services to you, at a fair price. We cannot change the current immigration environment – but as attorneys, it is in our hands to ensure you have every opportunity you need to present your side, so your visa gets approved.

We are a nation of immigrants. Yet every President and every incoming government tries to shapes our policies to fit their election-year agendas. This leads to a multi-faceted, truly nuanced body of laws that is complex, with its application to your case changing every four years. At Immigration Desk, attorneys carve out time in each day to really know the law. We know that little-known regulation, or memo, USCIS policy or white paper -or that posting on the USCIS website that showed up 15 minutes ago -  that just may get your tough case reopened – and approved. Sometimes just knowing why the interpretation of a law was changed is sufficient to convince the Service to our side. 

Knowing the nuances of the law is just the first aspect of getting a case approved. The second, and equally important part in knowing how to apply to it your case, so our legal expertise translates into an approval for you. To this end, we talk to our clients, understanding the very simple mantra to success— cases are approved based on true facts. Officers who review thousands of petitions know when the H1B petition has a true job description, or when you are trying to hide a DUI or domestic disturbance. We don’t try to change your job description, or your family situation or hide some facts of your case, to suit the current interpretation of laws. We hold fast to the belief that there is always something in the facts of your file that will win the case . It is only a matter of finding it. Because of this core belief, we take the time to talk to you. We take the time to learn the whole case, till we find that one fact that may get the petition approved. We work very hard at it. We use the laws, we use your case facts and match them. We aim to win.

At Immigration Desk, a senior attorney personally reviews every petition. This extra time is our investment into ensuring that your petition has minimum errors so your record stays clean. Our insistence on submitting flawless filings results in your receiving minimal RFEs, and when you do receive RFEs, we respond aggressively and accurately to ensure that the petition is approved. We do not challenge the hardworking USCIS officers. We believe that they are our partners in this process. Instead, we use our extensive knowledge of the law and how it will fit your facts to persuade them to approve your petition.

As you know from past experience, or from the person who referred you to us - we have a reputation for integrity, dedication and success. We get visas approved while maintaining high ethical standards. This insistence on quality has ensured that as a law practice,

- Immigration Desk retains one of the highest approval rates for H1Bs and green cards in a law practice spanning 20 years of service to our clients.

- Most of our corporate and family based clients have never had to go through a full USCIS audit and have fewer RFEs.

- Over 95% of petitions we have filed year over year in the past 20 years, including RFEs (especially H1B filed since 2017) have been approved.

 

Our team at Immigration Desk really does make immigration easy!


The smiles on our clients faces and their heartwarming testimonials are the true measure of our success.

If we can help make the process easier for you as well, it would be our pleasure. Please consult with us, by emailing [email protected] or telephoning 800-688-7892 x 1. You can also reach us by submitting your questions through “Avvo”.


I thank you for your time. I look forward to serving you.

Warm wishes,

Review Anu Gupta

Outstanding in tech H1 petitions

Posted by

Anu Gupta and her team members are outstanding. I got my H1-B visa approved in lottery. I have received fabulous support and guidance throughout my entire H1-B process. Throughout the course of our consultations, I came to know Anu as an extremely knowledgeable and experienced attorney. Her approach was very realistic. Anu tells the bigger picture, before focusing on the specifics. This gave me and my employer a sound understanding of the whole process. My employer and I gained trust and confidence in Anu's ability to pursue my case. I also appreciate their office for being approachable, extremely professional and pushing relentlessly for the success. Personally, I do not feel my case could have been in better hands. I highly recommend Anu - she is professional and very effective!

There is a REALLY good reason why she's rated 5 stars

Posted by

I ran into a rather peculiar/out of the ordinary case for my visa. I spoke to nearly ten lawyers before I found Ms. Gupta. All they had to say was - it's going to be an indefinite wait. Ms. Gupta was the only person who knew HOW to take action on the matter, or even actually tell us that there was actually something we could do. She was very thorough and supportive of my situation from our very first consultation. Her years of experience definitely shines through right as you speak to her. But working with her, I realized that it's not only a matter of experience - she herself is very passionate about the cases she takes on, and is unequivocally an exceptional attorney who works very diligently, and has an unparalleled fund of knowledge. Through the entire process, despite her busy schedule, she took the time out to reply to my e-mails in detail as well as speak to me over phone calls. She saw me right through to the end of my case, and even talked me through my anxiety for the interview. With the support of her documents and her advice, I received my visa without any issues. I very highly recommend working with Ms. Gupta. She is a phenomenal attorney and a fantastic person. And once again, there is a really really good reason why she is rated 5 stars.

Really thorough and dedicated lawyer!

Posted by

I came across Anu's profile through this website and hired her for my H1B visa processing. Anu was really helpful and thorough throughout the entire process. My company was not much familiar with the visa processing steps but she walked me and my company through all the steps required. I decided to go for the H1B visa at the end of January and even though I was behind time for the application process, Anu and her office worked hard for a quick turnaround and I got my paperwork all ready in time to send to USCIS. She was always available through emails for any questions I had, any day of the week. After the approval of the visa, when I traveled back home to get my visa stamped, there was an issue with the embassy system. I emailed Anu asking her for advice and she immediately forwarded my paperwork to me, which I then forwarded to the embassy and this really helped in moving my visa stamping process along. I really appreciate Anu for always going that extra mile to help out my case and patiently explaining the process and the requirements to me multiple times. I would definitely recommend Anu and her office to anyone looking for immigration visa services. Anu is definitely one of those lawyers who cares for your case as much as you do, and is willing to diligently go that extra step to make sure everything is in order. Thank you Anu.

EB1b I-140

Posted by

I approached Attorney Anu regarding my EB-1B I-140 application after several attorney's rejected to accept my application citing low credentials and not strong case to file application. I spoke to Anu about positives and negatives asked her for suggestion. After reviewing my case, She gave comprehensive details of positive and negative and suggest few changes to my approach and guided during entire process. I trusted her and guidance she provided to me was outstanding during the entire process and suggested to wait patiently so that she can review and address negative aspects of case and addressing them one by one. I am very comfortable with her working style that I decided to Hire her for all my future immigration needs irrespective of outcome of my current case. She helped in drafting the recommendation letters, compiling my patents, publications. She spent good amount of time on my case outlining all the criteria and qualifications to make my case strong. Even though she took couple of weeks more than I anticipated, she made it clear to get all proper documentation for filing my EB-1b I-140 application. Within 2 weeks of filing, I received case number beginning of second week followed by approval within same week. Overall process took approx. less than 4 months to file my case and approval. I highly recommend her and she show empathy and work with clients to make sure everything is right. She doesn't work just for money or convince you with any wrong promises. She is open and honest about feedback and even guide how to improve your case. I am 100% satisfied with her services and efforts and rate her one of the immigration attorney with highly skilled and knowledge. I recommend her to other professionals in need of immigration services.

She is worth every dime spent

Posted by

Anu is one of the best lawyers I have worked with in the past 6 years of being in USA. She is extremely approachable, listens patiently and answers any number of questions you might have. Good lawyers are expensive and so is she but then she is worth every dime spent just for the way she gets things done. I look forward to working with her in the future.

Distinguished expert, got my tough case approved

Posted by

Ms Anu Gupta is a distinguished attorney, excellent in her immigration knowledge and expertise as well as the enthusiasm and energy she has to help people . I did not mind that she was all the way in the northeast while I am in the south while I worked with her. The result was positive, quick , easy and efficient, even though my problem was challenging and not very common. I contacted many attorneys across the county who could not help. Only Ms Anu Gupta accepted the challenge and knew how to solve the problem without undue risk to my immigration situation. She is very detail oriented, a quick decision maker and responds very quickly to your questions. Immigration processes are tough and tedious. To get the best, I would recommend you to work with Ms. Gupta and not to pay extra money and lose time with other attorney. I very strongly recommend Ms. Gupta as being a distinguished expert in her area.

Challenging I-140 after RFE approved in less than a week!

Posted by

Thank you Ms. Gupta!!! I can’t find words to say thanks enough for all the help and support we got from Anu Gupta to get my I-140 approval. She was honest, compassionate, thorough, and very very knowledgeable. Ms. Gupta did an exceptionally good job in putting together a comprehensive package of application forms with many supporting documents. It is because of her thoroughness and insight into the whole process that everything has gone so smoothly with the immigration authorities. She is a great communicator, and always kept us up to date on the status. Somehow she managed to keep a positive outlook throughout, and never got discouraged in facing adversity and overcoming obstacles. I would recommend this firm to anyone needing help or advice with their immigration process!

Great Attorney!

Posted by

Anu Gupta was a great attorney and the Law Office of Anu Gupta helped me and my husband twice to change his status. We really feel her as our luck, that's the reason we went second time to her. The office made sure I had all of the documents that came in and out of the office. I never felt confused or overwhelmed. The office staff is amazing and very helpful and I would refer them to anyone in need of a family immigration law attorney. Outstanding!

A name that carries power and might

Posted by

First and foremost , many thanks to Anu Gupta for making life easy with filing my Adjustment Application. In less than a year of filling I got my green card. Anu is meticulous with paper work and her staff are always there to assist at all times. Even the immigration officer had to repeat her name with approval on his facial expression and it shows how much power and might that name carries in Massachusetts. In summary , Anu Gupta law firm delivers and I am happy to write this review because I also had to read reviews before I took the step and I took one year ago and thank God it paid off.
