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.

Best Nepali attorney in NYC.

I am pleased to share my experienced with mr. Shrestha. One of my cousin entered to the USA unlawfully through Mexico border and he detained at Elizabeth New Jersey. He frequently called me from detain and he was desperately need help and wanted to get out from the detain as soon as possible. I was s...tressed and don't know what to do. Somehow one of my friend introduced me mr. Shrestha and He said mr. Shrestha is experts an immigration legal attorney for over 20 years experiences. I am very fortunate to met mr. Shrestha and I am glad that I've choose the right person for my matters. He consult me very well and He take my case very seriously and our operation went very smoothly and he relieved all my strees and worries. After about in six months in detained my cousin came out with his ASYLUM GRANTED. I highly recommend mr. Shrestha for your immigration matters.

Reopen of Removal proceeding was made possible

I came to the United States in 1999 from China without proper documents. I was arrested by the ICE agents at the airport and placed in removal proceeding. I lost my asylum application in 2000 and I was ordered removed by an Immigration Judge in New York. The Board of Immigration Appeals dismissed my ...appeal.In 2006, I got married to a US citizen and I gave birth to three adorable US citizen children. My husband was desperate to reopen my removal proceeding, but saw no possibility of doing so. We met several attorneys but did not feel comfortable at all. In the meantime, unfortunately, ICE arrested me from my home since there was an outstanding removal order against me. Amid this chaotic situation, in the summer of 2009, we met attorney Shrestha who not only comforted us but also carefully managed to reopen my case and let me adjust my status to that of a permanent resident. His extensive experience in immigration law was the reason why we decided to trust our case to Mr. Shrestha. The feeling of peace and security what I have achieved through my attorney is priceless.

He is not only detail oriented, hardworking and professional but also approaches every opportunities with passion and conducts his business with superior ethical sense. If you are looking for an immigration lawyer then do yourself a favor and visit him. I am 100% positive that you won't regret it.
