CEO

It has been a great experience working with Vijay Bhagwati and his staff for the last 9 years. Vijay has worked and continues to represent our company on several immigration matters including but not limited to H1s, L1 and Green Cards etc.  I am impressed by his knowledge, legal acumen, ethics  and p...rofessionalism. I can reasonably say that he is is one of the best Immigration attorneys in the field. He is very responsive, knowledgeable, detailed and attention oriented which is what we as clients expect. I am so very thankful to be associated with his law firm. While working on immigration matters, the last thing you want to see is violating any rules and regulations to ensure your business doesn't get interrupted and I must say that Vijay has always been forthcoming and rendered us proactive advice. You cannot wrong with him. We will continue to work with him.

Great Service, Always gets results

Mr. Vijay is a very highly professional attorney who always yields you the desired results. I have had the experience of working with him on my cases on behalf of my company as well as on personal front. His understanding of the different complexities involved in H1B, L1 and GC related cases comes in... handy. He never gives unnecessary hopes but pleasantly surprises by getting you the desired outcome. Following his advise and recommendation is a sure path to success. Thank you Sir for everything that you have done.

Excellent for H1B and GC cases

Has an excellent understanding of the complexities in the GC and H1 cases he worked for us. Provided very good guidance on the best way to respond to the RFE requests from Immigration services and was successful in clearing all the RFE's for our employees.

Impeccable knowledge and highly confident

Mr.Vijay Bhagwati is my attorney for the Green Card processing and H1B visa extension. He precisely took care of all the documentation work and got my PERM and I140 approval. His experience and timely expert advice was clearly a major factor in pulling me out of a complicated situation. Easily approa...chable, responsive and highly responsible. He is a pioneer in immigration field.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
