Unsatisfactory experience

Reading a lot of reviews on Avvo and Google I got quite optimistic reaching out to Tejal so I booked an appointment as I wanted to seek immigration consultation. Unlike my expectation my experience was quite awful, distressing and confusing. Tejal contrary to what I was expecting was not very sure of... questions being asked, provided contradictory statements and was not conclusive at all. I wouldn't recommend anyone seeking immigration help to come here as my session was not at all conclusive and rather I felt I wasted my time and money.

Dear Hitesh, Thanks for consulting with us after thoroughly analyzing our online reviews. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your consultation. We take each of our initial consults seriously and endeavor to provide the best advice possible given our understanding of your situation. My feedback to your questions was based on the applicable regulations and policy memoranda. Unfortunately, providing conclusive guidance as to how you should proceed would be misleading because there are several variables which you cannot control. We cannot predict a definitive outcome in your situation. Also, because our communication styles may be mismatched, I invite you to send me your questions in writing. I will then provide you with a written response that may offer you better clarity on your available options. Please call or email me to discuss this matter further. Best wishes, Tejal Mehta, Esq.

Green card/ DACA

We can not thank Mrs Tejal Mehta and her assistant enough for the outstanding job they've done helping my husband Omar obtained his green card! Since day one Mrs. Mehta made us feel welcome and understood, we felt confident and knew right from the beginning that Mrs Tejal was going to do a great job!... She has been a blessing to our lives. Mrs Tejal Metha is the epitome of an ethical immigration lawyer and more! her expertise, fairness and beautiful soul gave us the peace of mind that we needed by obtaining my husband's green card! She always answered our questions and kept us on the loop of what was going on with the application process not to mention the great affordable legal fees and her generosity ! not once she gave the impression that she was working on our case for money " she genuinely did her job showing more concern to give us a great service and for a positive outcome than collecting any money" and that to us "is priceless" We greatly recommend her services!!. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts Mrs. Mehta!! La abogada Tejal Mehta ayudo a mi esposo Omar a obtener la tarjeta verde de residencia permanente, durante todo el proceso la abogada y su asistente se portaron excelente! A todo momento su experiencia y sabiduria en situaciones de imigracion se hicieron evidente dandonos a mi y me esposo gran tranquilidad pues supimos que habiamos encontrado a una gran abogada, la liscenciada siempre fue muy amable y nos hizo sentir entendidos y apoyados a todo momento y sin mencionar lo los tan accesibles precios y facilidades que nos dio para hacer pagos! a todo momento demostro estar mas preocupada por "ayudarnos que por cobrar sus honorarios" y eso no tiene precio! Gracias de todo corazon por el gran trabajo que hizo! Sin lugar a dudas yo recomendare sus servicios a toda persona que necesite de ellos! GRACIAS!

Good knowledge ... Strongly Recommended.

Strong positive experience - Marriage-based Adjustment of Status

My wife and I were looking for an attorney to assist us with our adjustment of status filing, and after spending many months working with Tejal we can confidently say our overall experience was very positive and we recommend her. Our case was fairly straightforward; we married after being together f...or several years, and at the time of our marriage one of us was a US Citizen. Selection: We chose to work with Tejal after conducting an extensive online and in-person search and after interviewing her to learn whether she was a good fit for our needs. We chose her for two reasons: 1) her primary experience is in immigration and adjustment of status cases, and 2) she was very pleasant to work with when we interviewed her. Initial work: Tejal discussed our background and this understanding to produce a "homework" list of questions for us to answer and documents that we needed to provide. Tejal's questions were entirely relevant, on-point, and very efficient. Tejal gave us clear direction around the type of information we needed to provide and throughout this process was very responsive to our questions (via phone and email). We also stopped by her office several times to review our progress on our "homework" with her, obtain additional guidance, and verify that we were moving in the right direction. It was easy to schedule time to meet with her, she was very open and accommodating, and she did not charge us additional fees for this guidance. Medical exam: USCIS requires the beneficiary in a marriage-based adjustment of status case to complete a medical examination and prove that they have current vaccines. We did not have copies of our medical histories, and Tejal helped us connect with a doctor in the area who was able to perform the required bloodwork, provide / update any vaccines that were missing or needed a booster, and complete the medical examination paperwork that USCIS required. Submission of package: After all of our "homework" was complete and all required evidence had been gathered, we provided everything to Tejal in a well-organized package and she prepared the final package that we would submit. This package included all required documentation, evidence, and paperwork for our adjustment of status, advance parole, and EAD. Tejal did an outstanding job organizing everything into a logical, easy-to-understand package, and prepared all necessary paperwork for us. She walked us through each document, showed us how it related to the other documents in the package, and provided clear, easy-to-understand guidance through this entire meeting. We can state with confidence that Tejal saved us days or weeks of work and headaches by doing this. After we had reviewed and signed everything Tejal packaged and submitted it to USCIS on our behalf. She also provided us with a scanned digital copy of the entire submission for our records. Change of address: We moved into a new home a few months after we submitted our package to USCIS. When this happened, we informed Tejal of our new address and she took care of filing the appropriate paperwork with USCIS for us. We received a confirmation letter from USCIS a few days later. USCIS interview: Tejal provided guidance around what to bring to our USCIS interview, what questions to expect, and how to handle the interview generally. She will attend the interview with her clients for an additional fee if they request it, but she advised us that our case was very straightforward and there was no real reason for us to pay for her to do so. This advice was correct and consistent with our interview experience. Working with Tejal in the future: We recommend Tejal very strongly. We must file to convert our conditional permanent residency to permanent residency in about two years because we were married for less than one year when we obtained permanent residence; we will work with Tejal to do so.
