'Wonderful human being… AND the best at what she does.

Looking to answer your H1-B RFE with utmost certainty?? Anu Gupta will be there to help you in all possible ways she can if your case is genuine. My case was a pretty hard one to answer. 2 popular lawyers turned me down saying it’s almost impossible to prove my case. There were so many discrepanc...ies in my initial application and it was a very difficult case to deal with. I actually ran out of my options to continue to be in status. With all this anguish I started researching online for competent lawyers and came across Anu’s profile and that is how we came to know about her and contacted her. This is the end to half of our pain. After talking to her I started having a hope on my case again. Anu knew exactly what the CIS people are looking for to approve a case…. She is highly knowledgable in all the immigration aspects and works her best to get her case approved. She herself (no involvement of mediators) spent her time to get all the details of our case. She talked to my employer, got all the required information from him, analyzed all the facts and tried connecting all the points to give a logical explanation to get the case approved. More than all she is a wonderful human being and a tremendous individual who would see me as more than just another client. I certainly would not have made it without her help and her willingness to go beyond the call of duty. She is the best at what she does. So I recommend anyone dealing with complex queries to contact Anu Gupta. She will be a good investment for anyone looking to lay down a safe immigration path to US permanent residency and naturalization.

She kept fighting for my case until it got a positive reply…. very much thankful.

I have used Anu’s immigration services for my H1-B and Green Card filling. My case was not so straightforward. I came to Anu after getting my I-140 denied twice. I had lost my hope of getting Green Card. USCIS sent RFE/NOID followed by rejection. Heartbreaking news. She helped me out to get out of t...his situation by using her knowledge and experience. I am very much thankful to her for all her effort. I like the way she followed up my case with USCIS and finally got it approved. She kept fighting for my case until it got positive reply. I would recommend her service to all my coworkers and friends.

'Takes the time to understand the issue… we wouldn’t go anywhere else.

We have had a working relationship with Anu and Immigration Desk for the past 10 years. We first approached Anu for an H-1B and subsequently used her services for green card filings as well. The thing about working with Anu, she is always accessible if you have an immediate concern. She takes the ti...me to understand the issue and this is important to me. She is a straight shooter, never paints a rosy picture! She has helped us in filing several green card petitions and H-1Bs. Her fees are very reasonable and for immigration-related issues I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I highly recommended Immigration Desk!

'Meticulous detail, kind heart and empathy… cannot be matched.

Anu is the most technical attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working for. So much so, that I moved clear across the country to work for her. In a short period of time, I learned all about Immigration law and policy, and I owe that all to Anu’s intellect. The detail and care that she puts into e...very business, into every individual is something you don’t see these days. I still think of Anu as my favorite boss. Not only does she treat everything with the same exact meticulous detail, but she has a great amount of respect, one that cannot be matched. Her kind heart and empathy for businesses and individuals gives her a refreshing passion for her company. If I needed to recommend anyone to an immigration attorney, without blinking, I would send them to Immigration Desk. There, your case will be managed, triple checked, reviewed and processed. Even with non-ideal circumstances, you can trust her to treat you with sensitivity and discretion. You can rest assured that Anu will handle your case, will treat you with priority, and will not stop working until you have the best product she can give you.

Over a decade of excellent service for us, .. and our friends.

My husband and have known Anu for the last 14 years, ever since we moved to the U.S. Upon our recommendation my brother-in law and his friends have used Anu’s services and we know her awesome track record. About a month ago we got a scary notice from USCIS saying they intend to deny our 485 applicati...on. The application was filed by my husband’s then employer and his lawyer and hence we could not use Anu’s legal expertise then. Upon receiving the letter we reached out to Anu and couple of other well renowned attorney’s in the country. While the other attorney’s blatantly asked us to leave the country, Anu was confident and took our case. In her typical style she researched our case and found no base for our case to be rejecting. Adding to this our EAD’s were expiring. She was calm and guided us to call USCIS to get our EAD’s and voila my husband’s EAD is approved and we should get it in the mail anytime now. We are positive that our 485 will go thru as well. If you are looking for no-drama, all work immigration attorney Anu is the choice. Off course if you want to waste thousands of dollars and deal with stress there are other attorney’s in the market!!
