Very Professional

Rupal Parikh is one of the top immigration lawyers. She is easy to contact and is always available to answer my queries. She has done a great job in helping me get my Green Card. It was a very long process, but she was always there to support me and legally advise me on each step of my application. R...upal Parikh was truly there for me from the get-go. My case was very difficult, but not only did she solve the problem, but everything in my case was resolved in a quick and efficient manner. Throughout the entire process I was notified of all actions being taken, and no detail was spared. Rupal is very caring and treats her clients like she would treat a lifelong friend. I am retaining her for suture US Naturalization application. While most lawyers are cost savvy, Rupal’s main interest is finding a resolution. Rupal is very professional and has sharp intelligence in giving legal advice. Rupal used every possible tool to help me with my case. I can’t be more thankful and lucky I found Rupal Parikh when I needed her guidance the most. It is because of her legal support I can call my Family from India to USA and start a new life. I strongly recommend Rupal Parikh for your immigration matters.

Highly Recommend!

This is long overdue. I hired Rupal for my Naturalization process and also for my husband's application to register for permanent residence. We are extremely satisfied with her service. She was very helpful and always ready to answer all our doubts and questions. She made sure everything was in order... prior to submitting the forms and applications which made it much easier and comfortable for us. Rupal turned out to be an excellent and highly professional lawyer with the right knowledge of current immigration-related issues. We were at ease during our immigration process. It was pleasure working with her and we highly recommend her for any immigration-related cases. Thank you Rupal for all your help and service!

It was amazing working with you

Following my marriage to a US Citizen in 2015, I hired Rupal in October 2016. I needed her to obtain for me a Green Card, after being 17 years under “Withholding of Removal”. Before I met Rupal, I spent a lot of money on consultations with other lawyers in NJ. Despite gladly taking my money, none o...f them seemed able to gave me a clear view of how I could actually win my case. All these failures with so many lawyers showed me that none of them had any clue about, or any familiarity with the term “Withholding of Removal” or what it really means. I met Rupal by referral (very cozy, and welcoming office). I am so glad that I was given this introduction. Rupal listened to my history and to the analysis of lawyers in California who in 2003 had helped me obtain my legal “Withholding of Removal” status and the big chances to obtain an AOS. She agreed with the strategy, and we started working hard in New Jersey, in the following order: I-130, I-485, RFE, I-601 based on INA § 212(h), Green Card arrived, re-opening and termination of “Withholding of Removal”. Working with Rupal was an amazing experience. She was not just a lawyer, but was a good friend genuinely concerned about my case. It was never easy, but thanks to Rupal making sure that every detail was handled with perfection, USCIS was finally satisfied with the many issues involved in my particular case. Finally, as result of Rupal’s good offices, my case was won in June 2019. She was aware that my circumstances were unique and unusual, and consequently clearly took the extra time and trouble to meet me on many occasions to ensure that all the forms and documentation were perfectly completed so to cover all possible angles. Thank you Rupal. God Bless you. I will be grateful to you forever for such a happy outcome to such a very significant event in my life.

Excellent Lawyer

Rupal turned out to be an excellent and highly professional lawyer with the right knowledge and also an extensive current knowledge of current immigration-related issues. We contacted her through a friend and found her humble, helpful and with a positive attitude. She helped us changed my son's F-2 s...tatus to F-1 within a short period of 4 weeks which is incredible in the current political environment. She never gave us any wrong hopes yet never let us lose any anyways. She is not only a great lawyer but also a very nice person. I will definitely approach her for any future endeavors related to immigration or change of status. I strongly recommend Rupal for any immigration-related cases!

She is a very caring and helpful Attorney. I loved working with her and her equally knowledgable staff for my elderly mother’s immigration process. I recommend her to anyone seeking any immigration services.
