Approval after Notice of Intent to Deny on approved green card.

Jul 18, 2012

OUTCOME: Won

Approval after Notice of Intent to Deny on approved green card. Thanks for all your help in getting my GreenCard. I was thinking that it was almost impossible to get my GC when I first saw the NOID (No ... tice of Intent to Deny) on my already approved I140. But the way you dealt with answering the query was awesome and that took me to next step, interview at the local center. Once again, the way you prepared me for the interview was amazing. The only confidence I had though out this battle is, “Anu is handling the case and I will get my GC”. And the result of my belief is, “I got the GC last week”. Thank you for your patience for answering all my calls. Thanks for your excellent support for the last 7 months in answering queries and giving me the confidence.

I-140 Approved on Appeal for Prospective Employee of Small Firm

Jun 28, 2012

OUTCOME: Won

** One of our green cards for a senior consultant got denied. My employee discussed the case with several attorneys but trusted Anu to handle the matter. She knew exactly what to put in the appeal and ... the green card was approved. — Employer ** The CIS denied my green card I-140 stating the employer did not have the ability to pay because the employer could not provide financial information after the date of filing. The date of filing was in February in the year. We did not have anything other than paystubs. Tax returns were not even filed because the year had not ended. Along with that was also the fact that I had left the company and worked elsewhere while the green card was pending. After talking with many attorneys and browsing forums online, I decided to go with Anu to file my appeal. Anu was right and my case was approved. Anu’s tenacity and creative thinking are exactly what I needed.” — Employee

Found a Way to File for 7th Year Extension when LC Not Pending for 1 Year

Jun 03, 2012

OUTCOME: won

When we started the process of filing my 7th year H1 extension, we found that my labor certification filing date was 364 days before the H1 6th year expired. The rules require that the labor certifica ... tion be filed 365 days before we file for a 7th year extension of a H1. In short, I was one day short of being able to file for a 7th year extension! My wife does not work. We own a house in the US. Our kids go to school. It was the middle of the school year. Anu went over my record over and over again to find something we could use. I had gone to Canada to have my visa stamped. I had gone one day and returned the next day. Anu called the Supervisor of the Business Services Section of the California Service Center and convinced them to count the period I was out as two days. This allowed us to get a H1 visa approved for 1 day and then to file a H1 extension for the 7th year. I was on the verge of putting my house on the market and leaving the country! Anu told me and my Senior Partner that she would find a way to keep me here, and she did. It was a very difficult time for me and my family, but she saved the day. I am indebted to her.”

Jan 01, 2012

OUTCOME: Approved

Anu did my H1B and green card processing. My I-140 was denied for ability to pay as I applied as a future employee for a small company.

H1 without I-94, status corrected by CIS based on zealous advocacy

Jan 01, 2011

OUTCOME: Approved

“Shortly after my previous employer filed an H1B extension on my behalf, I switched jobs. Ms. Gupta’s office filed my H1B transfer petition. Unknown to us, my previous employer withdrew the previous H1 ... extension petition. We were horrified to find out two months later that my H1 for the new employer was approved, but the I-94 was not issued. CIS claimed I was out of status for over six months now (since the previous H1 expired), so now I was not only without a job, but I needed to leave the U.S. immediately and faced the possibility of not being able to reenter the U.S. because of out of status stay. My employer had just paid a lot of money for the visa and really needed me to continue on the project. Ms. Gupta was relentless in helping me and my employer overcome this very tense situation. She called, emailed and literally hounded the CIS. She also got my new employer to talk to the CIS several times and walked him through what to present to them. We finally got the CIS to approve the case from the date we filed and with a I-94. I did not have to leave the country! Even greater was my relief to have confirmation that I was not out of status! It was such a huge relief knowing that Ms. Gupta was on my side doing whatever was necessary to solve this very messy situation. I will recommend her to all my friends.”

HealthCare H1s Approved, Jumpstarting Company

Jan 01, 2010

OUTCOME: Approved

“I learned the hard way how important it is to find a high-quality immigration attorney. After my previous counsel nearly destroyed my start-up due to a lack of knowledge with the Philippine consulate, ... you stepped in and fixed all the problems. I can honestly say that you jump-started my business. You are a life saver.” Client ______________ Attorney’s Notes. I received a call from a very hassled gentleman one day. He had recently started a new Health Care recruitment company. After spending thousands of dollars on incorporating, visiting Philippines, setting up an office their visas for the nurses were denied by the CIS. He was at his wits end, when he spoke with a friend who was a HR Consultant who had used our services in the past. The previous attorney had filed E2 for the nurses, which the US Embassy in Manila had rightly denied. At that time Manila was not approving E2 for nurses unless they were coming to work at a managerial positions at the company. The previous attorney had charged for the E2, then recommended appealing and wanted to charge for those as well. The client had signed several contracts with clients to deliver the nurses. His new found company was on the verge of shutting down since he did not nurses to provide to his client- hospitals.
