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.

Anu is truly remarkable lawyer!

We had the most difficult case possible as it was so complex in nature, and I am so glad Ms.Gupta was recommended to me. I was told she was the best, and indeed she is. We followed Anu's advice through our process, and she was by our side through it all. Ms.Gupta was always available to talk and assu...re us. I believe she gave us the best advice possible. I was personally denied at first, but when Ms.Gupta intervened, a miracle happened. When Ms.Gupta tells you that you are her client and she would make sure that you'd win your case, she really means it. Our difficult case and win is a testimony of her services, as I believe it is the best out there. I was told by another lawyer that our case was difficult, and it's not certain that we'd succeed. However, Anu had a confident and different approach. She refused for our appointment to be postponed, and took action and matters into her own hands the same day! Ms.Gupta's promise was delivered as she assured us that we would not lose. I refrain from sharing the details of our case, yet I can assure anyone that no lawyer would match her dedication, compassion and loyalty to her clients. She is known for ability to take on difficult cases and win them, that's why Ms.Gupta was recommended to us. Oddly enough her fees are equivalent to the lawyer who thought we wouldn't win our case, and suggested taking a different tedious approach. Ms.Gupta is more than a consultant and lawyer; she mentored us every step of the way. Ms.Gupta is competent and more than qualified. She's very direct, sharp and very professional in her method. She is familiar will all the aspects surrounding immigration, and is one of the most knowledgable and experienced legal representatives available. Anu never failed to communicate all the possible scenarios to us, and how to approach each one of them. She coached and prepared us for all the possible outcomes regarding our case. Ms.Gupta is accurate and was very well prepared to meet our unexpected challenges that arose. She was there for us in a difficult time and place. I will never forget what she did for us. Anu's staff is wonderful, caring and prompt too. We were very lucky and blessed to have found her and hired her as our lawyer. Ms.Gupta is an award winning lawyer, and based on our experience with her, I could see why she earned such honors. Anu is very recognized in her field. We felt more secure and safe in our process as her reputation precedes her. It felt good to know that we were in good hands, and have a lawyer with a strong reputation. Ms.Gupta told us after we were approved, "didn't I tell you so?". And yes, everything she told us did happen and she kept her word.

Did all my H1s and green card flawlessly

As employment based immigration process is a long and grueling process, it is very important to choose an attorney who is going to be there every step of the way. I think I made that decision by choosing to go with Anu Gupta. She is thorough, knowledgeable & understanding of the client needs. Anu's k...nowledge of the law, responsiveness & thoroughness makes her the best immigration attorney in town. I have known her since 2002, she was there every step of the way in my immigration process be it H1B, H4, EAD, Advance Parolee & eventually the Green Card. Not only is she an exemplary Attorney, her Law firm is also one of the best to work with. Her Law office personnel are quite responsive, knowledgeable and a good support system that you need during your Green card journey. With Anu Gupta & Immigration Desk you cannot go wrong with any of your immigration needs.

Strongly recommend!

I strongly recommend Anu Gupta for representation. I recently finished my process for naturalization, and she was super helpful in getting me through this process. She has vast experience which enables her to understand the intricacies on a case-by-case basis, especially complicated ones, and provide... sound advice. More importantly, she is accessible at short notice and has a patient ear to go through any queries one may have, however trivial they may sound. Also she has a team of assistants who are always available for a call in case of clarifications. Overall, strongly recommend!

Commendable job on H1 transfer with a gap in employment

'I would like to say thanks for you and your staff for working on my H-1B RFE. My case was really complicated due to gap in employment from one employer to another. Attorney Anu Gupta and her staff especially took the time out to analyse the case and communicate in timely manner to USCIS and answ...er their questions. After Anu Gupta answered the RFE, the USCIS officer approved my H-1B visa with I-94 attached. One more time I thank Anu Gupta and her staff for commendable job in this case and I will use them for my future immigration cases and also recommend it to my friends.
