Must have lawyer in NYC.

I am very happy to have Ramesh Shrestha as my lawyer for my immigration case. He is very client oriented, talented and experienced lawyer in NYC. I believed that you can hire any lawyer but you cannot have the excellent services from anybody else like him. His teams are professional die-hard, go-get...ter and always friendly. He made himself available during every office visit and took the time to explain the entire immigration process. He was very patient and knowledgeable. I would like to take this opportunity to recommend Ramesh Shrestha and his team. He performed with professionalism and competence and was well prepared for all meetings and hearings. If you must win the immigration cases, he is the must to go lawyer.

Successful H1-B case

It has been a very good experience for me working with one of the finest immigration attorney’s Mr. Shrestha, who has handled my case in an extremely competent and professional way. In a very critical time of my H1-B process with his experience and detailed research on current immigration system, he ...did a wonderful job. He took my case as very challenging and explained the whole process in detail by giving clear guidelines. He also helped me in preparation of required documentation to make my case more efficient. He understood all my concerns and took care of all scenarios of my case to make sure I don’t get denied on my H1-B. And I am very satisfied with how helpful he was throughout the process and am very happy with the positive outcome on my H1-B case. I would highly recommend Mr. Shrestha to anyone who has any issues regarding immigration policies.

Respectfully and professional Immigration lawyer

I saw people started looking for good lawyer when they got screwed up, but I didn’t. I had paid consultation on website with some lawyers I guess, it didn’t work. Then I visited several lawyers in New York because I heard they in general see more types of cases here in immigration field( yeah, why no...t? This is New York, full of immigrants.) I would say among 4 lawyers, Mr. Shrestha is the last one I visited, but he is definitely the best. He spent a good amount of time with me to go through my cases, and patiently answered my endless questions(lol). I liked his analysis, at the end of conversation, I had clear idea what I should do, and where my case gonna go. Unlike some lawyers, hesitated to give out information concerning they might not get the case, he was very chill and gave me lots of detailed informations to help me make decision. I gave my case to him(late filing TPS+administrative clousure+ marriage+ arrests @€*~#%) He carefully open all the knots, and guess what! I got my green card few days ago!!! I am more than thrilled to write him a review telling good lawyer seekers to go for Mr. Shrestha. He will walk you through the darkness until you see the hope of getting legalized in this country. I’ll recommend my friends and family to him for sure. Hope it helps fellow.

H1 - B Case

I started my H1-B case in the middle of March. It was a challenge for the company and lawyer to prepare the case in short time. For me, I can’t miss the lottery since it was very hard to get the chance in this last minute. I heard Mr. Ramesh from my friend who also had H1-B case with him last year. ...She recommended me to Mr. Ramesh who are experienced in immigration case. Mr. Ramesh always shows his confidence to the case even time was very limited. It raised my hope as well. He was professional and patient. When I got the reference letter from the USCIS, we talked, and he made a list of evidence and gave me the instructions as well. He was honest to tell me if my letter was not good enough and then we revised couple times together. Thanks for his professional performance and helped me to solve the case. I will recommend him to your immigration case.
