Deeply Disappointing and Unprofessional Legal Representation

I hired Ms. Bhimdi to handle my immigration application, and the experience was nothing short of a disaster. I am now actively searching for a new attorney to fix the mess left behind. - She was consistently slow and unresponsive - Repeatedly asked for the same documents, showing poor recordkeepi...ng - Waited until the last minute to request critical paperwork from me - Gave vague, confusing instructions, making the process far more stressful than it needed to be - When the State Department needed clarification, she refused to engage or explain, even though the issues were easy to address (e.g., a simple breakdown of work history) - Her lack of initiative and poor communication severely undermined my case - Overall, her handling of my file was disorganized and careless The only benefit I gained from this experience was learning what kind of lawyer not to trust with something as important as immigration.

Diligent and detailed on filing I-601 Waiver that got approved

My wife and I hired Hudaidah to help my wife file an I-601 waiver on the ground of inadmissibility. On March 2020 had an interview with U.S. Consulate Montreal and during the interview she was found inadmissible to enter US. she was eligible to file a waiver. We were referred to Hudaidah by a friend,... and in all honesty, this was the best referral we got. Hudaidah knows her work. After explaining her our situation she right off the back what she needed from us to file the waiver. She gave us a check list and worked on writing a legal briefing. Even during the peak of Covid-19 when people were working from home, Hudaidah was quick in responding to emails and messages. Once the waiver and the briefing was drafted, she sent us a draft to review and just by reading the draft, we felt comfortable that we made a good decision for hiring her as our immigration attorney. She was very detailed and precise. She connected and collected many evidence that would support the argument of obtaining the I-601 waiver. I can totally appreciate the time she has spent on the creating and drafting the waiver packet. It was so much in detail that it took only 2 months for the waiver to get approved, which normally takes 8 months. Just getting the waiver approved in 2 months one could only imagine how great of the work she had done. If one needs a good immigration lawyer, Hudaidah is the to-go person. Very informative, diligent, hard working and SMART! highly recommended

Best Immigration Lawyer

My wife found attorney Hudaidah through google search and I am so glad that We have found her & due to her excellent knowledge of immigration law I became a permanent resident of the U.S. I was in U.A.E when my wife found her and she help us through whole process. During my entire immigration process..., Hudaidah was highly professional, very meticulous and caring. She communicates well throughout the entire process. She goes above and beyond for her clients.My family and I are extremely grateful to her as she took me out of immigration darkness to light and gave us so much happiness. Hudaidah is truly the Best Immigration lawyer and a wonderful person. She did an outstanding legal work in my immigration case. I recommend her services to all people who need immigration assistance.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Hudaidah is an excellent attorney who is intimately familiar with the intricacies of immigration law. I have always known her to be timely, professional, and prepared. When I first met Hudaidah, I asked her what she enjoyed most about her job as an immigration attorney. She responded that what gave her the most fulfillment was taking the weight of her clients' immigration concerns and worries, and placing it on her own shoulders so her clients could confidently proceed with their own lives. Practicing with her, I came to know that she took this role very seriously. Hudaidah is an excellent attorney and I don't hesitate to endorse her for all immigration matters."

"Hudaidah is one of the most respected immigration attorneys in the Washington DC metro area. She is especially skilled and knowledgeable with employment and investor based immigration matters. She is viewed as a valuable resource even among other immigration lawyers and has been invited to speak at numerous immigration lawyer conferences on a range of topics."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I had the chance to consult with Hudaidah on several cases. She has all the qualities you should look for in a lawyer: she has expertise in immigration law, she's aggressive, she is good at client communication including returning phone calls and explaining things, she projects confidence that helps her get the job done in court and out of court, and she genuinely cares about her clients. She is a skilled immigration lawyer knowledgeable in deportation defense, business immigration, family-based immigration, and humanitarian immigration like asylum. I know she often travels around the world giving speeches to other immigration lawyers. If you have a difficult case, wouldn't you want the lawyer who teachers other lawyers?"
