Immediate Family Member Green Card

Mrs. Gurnani and her legal team had helped both of my parents obtain their green cards through family sponsorship since 2022. She is very knowledgeable in the field of immigration and has utilized her years of expertise in resolving issues arised during my father's petition. She is very patient and t...imely in answering client's inquiries, and had offered me some valuable advice to avoid further delays of my father's case. Her legal assistant Salwa is organized and efficient, and is able to follow up with clients during the process of information gathering and document preparation. I highly recommend Mrs. Gurnani as an excellent immigration attorney for those who is currently seeking legal assistance for immigration. A professional team you can definitely trust and rely on.

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.

Very sincere, compassionate and Responsible

In few words, below are the things Anita Gurnani did for me. 1. My H1B visa which was entrusted to her by my sponsoring company in 2001. 2. My green card for which I approached her myself. 3. My citizenship which was lot more complex than a normal case. 4. My brothers immigration. 5. And in 201...7 my parents application for their Green card. Anita clearly knows what needs to be done, and she goes through each and every case details and makes sure that nothing is missed. And I can say that I haven't seen anyone more sincere than her with her job (may be its a passion) and the individual attention that she pays to each case. I did not want to take any chance with my parents immigration and I did not even think of considering someone else since in all my cases i only saw 100% success.
