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

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.

BEST Immigration Attorney, GET HER!

I hired Anu to process my H1B then followed by perm res application. I never got a chance to meet her in person but she made everything like a charm. Her communications via call & email, follow-up and updates on your case are 2nd to none. She knows what she is doing and just trust her by providing al...l the infos she seeks for. If you have doubt or skeptical on your case, don’t worry she will make it happen. She is BEST in the industry & TRUE to her word. Thanks Anu!

Best Immigration Lawyer Ever!!!

My PERM application was certified today. We started the process in Aug 2019 and it has been a long successful journey with myriad challenges along the way. The prevailing wage determination came right in the middle of the Covid19 pandemic. The structured recruitment got responses never seen before du...ring the 2008 great recession. Attorney Anu was always personally available and hand-held the employer in all the stages through this complicated process. Attorney Anu and her team were beyond amazing in their approach to the entire process. Her consultative and educational process made sure my employer was always informed about the case. She played a key role in convincing my employer to do E-Verify so that I could get my OPT extension. She also helped my employer file its first H1B, the first H1B extension, and the first green card. Attorney Anu is extensively passionate about her work and always goes the extra mile. She leads with empathy and humility and connects on a personal level. She is an extremely professional, knowledgeable, and competent attorney. She is friendly, patient, and took the time to explain the legal process, and was always responsive to phone calls and emails. Attorney Anu Gupta is the best and truly godsend!!! My family and I will be eternally grateful to you for the opportunities you have allowed us to pursue by your assistance in the immigration process. All of your hard work is invaluable to us. We are incredibly grateful for what you have done for us! I would recommend Immigration Desk to anyone who is going through any immigration process – whether just for a consultation and some advice or for their full service. You can count on their good counsel and their services are second to none. Thank you for your professionalism and continued support. My family and I appreciate everything.

Avvo Rating

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.
