Highly knowledgeable with Excellent Service

I worked with Mr Vijay Bhagwati two times for my H1B Extension and working for Green Card Processing too. Even though these guys are very busy still very responsive and makes the excellent documentation work. Frankly I am little bit concern about my recent H1B extension due to some planned trip to I...ndia in couple of days, but finally I hear that my case got approved with in less span of time. I expected only receipt by that time but I got the approval too, will show the responsibility towards your clients with quality of documentation. Thanks a lot Sir.

Very knowledgable. Excellent service. Highly recommend!

We consulted Mr. Bhagwati on a employee immigration related matter and found him to be very knowledgable on all the aspects. He provided a comprehensive analysis of available options and the pros and cons of each approach. His rich experience in dealing with immigration matters was evident in our d...iscussions. In particular, we were very pleased with his patience and thoroughness in discussing our matter. I would highly recommend his firm for immigration and employment/labor related matters.

Highly recommended Immigration and Business Lawyer

I had worked with Bhagwati and Associates for my immigration processing and it was a real pleasure to work with Mr Vijay and his team. The processing was handled smoothly and they were always ready with answers when I had questions for them. The paperwork was crisp and was done with clarity. I would ...recommend Bhagwati and Associates for all your immigration works as they would take out the tediousness out of the processes and save you from any hassles. Also Vijay has great connections, thanks to over two decades in the business and can get things done which might not be possible with others.

I recommend Vijay Bhagwati for Immigration services

I work in New Jersey. I have used Vijay Bhagwati's services for my H1B petition and for H4 Visa for my family. He is very prompt, professional and values his clients to help with immigration matters and other law procedures.The complete process of filling visa was so seamless that I have not faced a ...single issue during the process. He promptly answered my questions in a way that was easy to understand. He is a great lawyer for your immigration services.I highly recommend him.

Great Firm

I would definitely recommend this firm based on history, professionalism, ethics, promptness and Success ratio we have using them. We have been using Bhagwati & Associated since a long time and what I have seen is very prompt response and very professional work. They have been attorneys for our firm ...for all immigration related matters since 2009 and I have 100% success with the firm. They have done more than 25 cases of various immigration related matters and I am glad that we have such firm where we are saving on time and efforts to explain our needs where their understating and solving issues of our cases is great. I can't ask better than that.
