She's a waste of time - poor knowledge of most recent immigration policies and doesn't honor time contracts
I scheduled and paid Tejal's office for a 30 mins consultation session to learn about immigration options for my situation. I was scheduled for a 12noon meeting, but was later told to call her at 12:10pm, which I did expecting to be there for at least 30mins. Long story short, Tejal ended our chat at...
Dear Mr. A****: I am sorry to learn that you were disappointed with your experience consulting with us. However, I am surprised to read many of the statements you make in your review. As an initial matter, please remember that the reason the starting time of the consultation was delayed is your not making an advance payment of the consultation fee as requested. Nevertheless, upon further reflection, I acknowledge that I should have suggested rescheduling your appointment due to the next booked appointment. Thus, I have refunded to you (via paypal) a prorated amount of the fee for the 10 minutes we had to spend to process your payment. Secondly, as a general matter, initial consults cannot provide solutions to complicated immigration situations. The research fee I quoted you is commensurate with the additional time I would spend to review applicable regulations and recent policy memoranda in the context of your complex immigration history. This is what responsible attorneys do when asked to provide a legal opinion in an unusual scenario. Please also note that an attorney cannot magically provide you with the remedy you are seeking if it does not exist. Third, your characterization of our conversation is incorrect. In response to your question inquiring if you can obtain an H1B visa through a change of status without going through consular processing, I mentioned that another client in similar circumstances with a B2 visa was able to do so, but that I did not have recent personal experience with this scenario. I noted that your situation was more complicated due to your pending B2 visa extension and my view was that it was likely that you would have to take the consular processing route unless your extension request was approved. When you pressed me to provide you with a path to avoid having to visit a consulate, I told you that I did not believe this option was available to you without a current B2 visa, but I could research your question further for an additional fee. To help you better understand the USCIS H1B and Change of Status adjudication process, I encourage you to review the guidance within the USCIS Policy Manual at https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/policy-manual-afm/afm30-external.pdf https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/policy-manual-afm/afm31-external.pdf Please pay particular attention to the numerous appearances of the statement, “Change of status applications are discretionary in nature.” This guidance indicates that it is ultimately a case-by-case adjudication. I wish you well in your endeavors. - Tejal Mehta, Esq.
