A true pleasure

I am extremely thankful to have found Mr. Manchanda, a true pleasure to work with. My case is complex with several moving parts. We have been looking for legal representation for quite a while, all attorneys that we met with were excited about the case but didn’t seem capable of handling all of its c...omplexities. After an in person consultation with Mr. Manchanda, we were confident that he fully understood the nuances of our case. Mr. Manchanda is very knowledgeable about immigration law, he approached our case from multiple directions ensuring we had a fighting chance. Mr. Manchanda proved to be very reliable and responsive. Any questions that we had were answered without hesitation. He was supportive throughout the entire process and continues to check in with updates. I would highly recommend Mr. Manchanda and his talented staff as your legal representation. They are polite and respectful throughout the entire process.

A Law Firm That I Could Trust

I was desperately looking for one of the best law firms in New York and to help me out with my US immigration needs. My persistent search did yield the expected results. I found Manchanda Law Office and got a chance to meet Rahul Manchanda. In my experience, this is one of the best lawyers that have ...met in the area of immigration law. I am impressed with the knowledge level of this immigration attorney. Before offering his solutions, he patiently listened to my concerns. He took the time to explain to me how things worked and how it is possible to get my visa approved. I liked the transparency with which this law firm operated. I couldn’t have found anyone better to take care of my US visa application. This is certainly one of the most recommended immigration law firm in New York.

N 400 citizenship

I hired Rahul to help me navigate through the naturalization process with a record. I was told by others that it would be possible to become a naturalized citizen. Rahul listened to my case and was confident that I would have no issue with the N 400 form. When the stakes are high, you want some wit...h Rahuls experience and credentials. He is an aggressive lawyer that will fight for you. When you hire him, you can rest easy. He will do what he says.

Great Tactician! Phenomenal Outcome

We had a tough case wherein a Principal of our company had his work related VISA revoked. Mr. Manchanda crafted a compelling appeal and took this adverse ruling up the chain of command to the Department of Homeland Security which overturned the VISA revocation. Our company and one family in... particular are eternally grateful.

Happy it worked out!

I am so glad I found Mr Manchanda! He is the first attorney I have met in years that really listened and understood my situation. He was very bright, confident and amusing at times. I had the feeling that it would all work out from day one. Hands down a true professional that has a good heart. Just t...he person I needed to push me in the right direction. He doesn’t hand hold and I feel like I am better for it. I had spent too many years accepting and not fighting for what is right for me and my kids. Happy to report that it worked out for me in court today! I can finally breathe after 2 years. I am eternally grateful to him for believing in me!
