Family based immigration

I am a British citizen and it was very daunting entering into the 'green card process' so that I could live with my American husband in the states. We decided to get a lawyer and I am really glad we did. Gurnani & Gurnani have very high attention to detail. They triple check every form we complete be...fore it is sent in. They gave very clear detailed explanations about what happens at each stage of the process. They gave us estimated times of when we would be moving forward onto the next stage. They are very organised and keep all our paperwork up to date and keep on top of checking in on us and send us information very promptly if they get word back from the USCIS or NVC. They were always quick to respond to our emails (and we sent a lot of them with a lot of questions) and were always happy to give us guidance and advice. They know what they are doing down to the T and all our paperwork was flawless. The whole process took a year and it would have taken longer if our lawyers were not so meticulous would making sure all our paperwork was spot on. You can trust this law firm to get the job done and get it done well.

Amazing experience

Mrs Anita Gurnani made the entire process hassle free and quick. She was always willing to hear us out and answer all our questions. She has immense knowledge on the entire process and together with her team, they guided us through every step. All in all, she made the process of filing the paperwork... very easy. For people like us who like to be prepared , she was always on the same page. They are extremely professional, timely and very accurate. I would recommend Gurnani and Gurnani to anyone who has any immigration needs! They are the best out there.

Superb Immigration Attorney! !!

I read reviews posted by prior clients of Anita Gurnani and decided to hire her.  I am a U.S. citizen and I married my wife abroad.  I retained Mrs. Gurnani to assist me in bringing my wife to the U.S.  I am so happy – my wife just got approved for her immigrant visa and she will be immigrating to th...e U.S. very soon.  Mrs. Gurnani is detail oriented, precise, friendly and approachable.  She is sincere, caring, honest and straightforward.  She paid personal attention to my case from the beginning to the end. She kept me posted at all times.  We most appreciated her value at the time of my wife’s interview which went very smoothly.  Living away from one’s spouse during the duration of the immigration process can be very stressful.  Mrs. Gurnani was very prompt and she handled the entire process expeditiously leaving very little room for anxiety.  I am very pleased to have hired her and recommend her to anyone looking for an immigration attorney.

Dedicated and Knowledgeable Attorney!

Dedicated and Knowledgeable Attorney! Anita Gurnani first represented me 4 years ago in my green card application. She painstakingly prepared and filed my application which was approved expeditiously. Most recently Mrs. Gurnani represented me in my application for naturalization. Working with M...rs. Gurnani on these cases has been a wonderful experience. She is a very caring and dedicated immigration attorney who prepares the paperwork with attention to detail. She was always very responsive, updated me regularly and provided me with prompt, topnotch service. A very positive experience. I would strongly recommend Gurnani & Gurnani Law Firm to all my friends and relatives.

Very Good Professionals

We've worked with Mr. and Mrs. Gurnani for quite a few years. Initially under my father, Gurnani and Gurnani worked to process my application for Green Card. Few years later, after getting married, my husband and I approached the Gurnani's for application of change of residence status for my husband.... We worked with Mrs. Gurnani during this process and had the most pleasant experience. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable and timely through the whole processes. They were very intricate and thorough with the paper-work leaving no room for doubts and were always on top of the schedule providing us updates and also requesting updates from us. My husband successfully obtained his Green Card in less than a year of application. All in all, we had a very good experience with this firm and would highly recommend them to my friends and families in need.
