About Ruchi
Biography
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.
