I am a NYC-based immigration lawyer focusing on immigration appeals and motions to the court and the Board of Immigration Appeals, deportation defense (criminal and non-criminal), federal court litigation, family-based immigration, asylum, naturalization, and consular processing.
I do NOT handle ANY employment-based immigration, student visa matters, or tourist visa matters.
I provide my legal services at affordable and competitive rates. My goal is to help my clients stay in the United States with their families. Navingating the immigration system has become very complex over the years and choosing an attorney whose focus is your best interest is the most important decision you can make about your case. My clients choose me because of the attention I provide to each and every case...at my firm, every client is the most important client I have.

Best Immigration Lawyer Ever
My Family and I cannot find the words to describe Ms. Ruchi Thaker is simple the best. She is very patient because my husband always has a question and the first thing he says to me is "call Ruchi." My husband and I were denied resident Status at our interview and the Officer that interviewed us, tol...

My husband and I met Ruchi at a hearing for another client. At the time we were looking for a lawyer for my husband immigration case. I liked what I saw during the trial and decided to ask Ruchi Thucker for a business card. I am very grateful we found her. She is very professional and hard worke...

Most professional, efficient, and compassionate lawyer!
I couldn't be happier with the services I got from Ruchi for my case! From the consultation until the end of my case, she was with me every step of the way, no matter how many questions I had, or when I asked. She replied to emails right away (even on nights and weekends), and when she couldn't ans...

Very unprofessional In my experience, she was very bad at following up, and would either not respond to emails at all, or respond 3 days later with 1-liner emails like: "I am in middle of emergencies. Cannot reply right now." She's knowledgeable if you can meet her, but she can be very confron...
Ravi, thank you for your comment. It is difficult to adequately reply to your comment, because in the recent past, I have not consulted with anyone named "Ravi" so please provide your full name, so that I can reply meaningfully based on any conversation we may have had at a consultation that you may have had with me. Regardless, my approach to consultations and clients is straightforward -- I do not like to beat around the bush. Some people may not like that approach, but I feel it's your case and your time, so it is my obligation to be truthful. I have always made an effort to follow up as necessary with my clients and consultations. But as a lawyer, I am often in court, at administrative interviews, meeting a client in a detention center or jail, and overall, helping the people who hired me to help them. Also, in today's political climate (Trump Administration), emergencies and crises have affected the immigrant community like never before, which makes immigration lawyers the "first responders" when a client is detained, or a client is about to be deported. People have choices when it comes to hiring a lawyer, and if and when they reach out to me following a consultation, it is usually to make an appointment to get started on their case. Most lawyers, including me, do not do ongoing consultations via email after the time-based consultation has ended. That is why I take the time during the consultation to answer questions. I hope you have now found an attorney that you feel responds to you per your terms. Wishing you all the best!
