Amazingly talented immigration attorney

Anu successfully addressed my immigration issue during a time when things felt hopeless to me. Her confidence in handling my situation not just made me feel relaxed, but she also provided great insight and helped me to gain valuable knowledge about the immigration system during the process. Anu is ve...ry approachable, reliable, and she will do everything in her ability to win a case for her clients. Choosing her was one of the best choices I have made. I highly recommend her!

Really Impressive

Anu is a highly qualified professional with an excellent understanding of the immigration process. She got me my H-1 (& H-4's) in 2009 and just got me another 3-years extension (in Dec 2014). She also got my LC approved earlier this year and then my I-140. Anu's knowledge of US immigration laws is... really impressive. She pays close attention to every little detail. Her advice has always been very helpful for me and she supported me at every single step since 2009. I trust her and would strongly recommend her to anyone.

Thank God for Attorney Gupta

Attorney Anu Gupta is a very knowledgeable, honest, helpful, approachable and supportive immigration lawyer. She can confidently manage complex immigration issues like what I had. I came to the United States on a J1 visa (exchange visitor) and was on it for 6 years. After which I had a work visa, ...a H-1B, until I resigned from a job due to licensing issues. My plan was to get my license back, which apparently would require some time to process. I hired the lawyer who had filed for my work visa to change my status to a tourist visa so I could continue to stay in the US legally. I did not realize then that I needed more time to resolve my licensing issues. I did not know that tourist visas are only given for 6 months. I then had to apply for a student visa- this idea is per suggestion of a relative. My previous immigration lawyer was not helpful at all in the change of status process. She did not even discuss options for me to lengthen my stay in the US. All she cared about was about charging me for every single minute that I spend talking to her in person or in the phone, but nothing relevant was discussed. Then I spoke with another immigration lawyer who basically said that there is no way that the USCIS was going to approve my change of status to student visa. I was losing hope at that time and was on the verge of giving up. I was thinking of just going back to my home country to avoid the stress of dealing with the immigration issues. But then I found Attorney Anu Gupta. It may sound cliché but after talking to her I literally found a light at the end of the tunnel. She was very optimistic about my case. She answered all of my questions and she was very open to my suggestions. We explored all options and chose the best route. Looking at the documents, Attorney Gupta knew that the tourist visa that my previous attorney had filed would get a RFE. She was the one who even took care of the RFE (request for evidence) for my tourist visa. Her attention to detail is highly commendable. She made sure that no loose ends were hanging on my case. The moment she reviewed my case, she knew exactly what to do. She had a different game plan for me. I was initially dubious about her recommendations and she acknowledged my feelings but she replied “You have to trust me on this. This is what we should do. I know exactly what the USCIS wants to see to approve your case”. So I adhered with her strategy and recommendation -- and low and behold, after a few months of waiting, my student visa got approved! I am currently working on getting my license back and I am looking forward to working with Attorney Gupta again to process my work visa.

Professional, experienced, cares, is honest and has solutions to every problem of immigration

'My wife and I owe a big thank you to Attorney Anu Gupta, thank you for always helping us and always listening to us patiently. Anu Gupta was highly recommended to us by one of our friends. We can still remember the first call we made to her because she was very friendly, kind, and attentive. Since t...hen we have been very happy and fortunate to have worked with Anu. It was very easy for us to effectively and efficiently communicate with Anu and her staff through emails and phone calls. She was very professional right from the start. She made sure that any filing of paper work happened quickly and without issues. We did, at one point, have to provide additional evidence in the form of affidavits, but again Anu provided great advice and helped us every step of the way. The process for applying for the Green Card to receiving my Permanent Residence Card was smooth and quick. She provided great advice during the interview process and was available for us when we needed her. However we never had to go for an interview to get our Permanent Residency as Anu responded the RFE and answered all the questions of USCIS effectively. We are now looking forward to filing the application for citizenship in a few years from Attorney Anu Gupta and her great team. So, in short, if you are looking for an Attorney who is professional and experienced, who cares and pays close attention to every little detail of your case, who is trustworthy and who has solutions to every problem of Immigration, who know US immigration in and out and finally who is honest, then you should definitely reach out to Attorney Anu Gupta.
