Attorney

Attorney Sethna successfully completed an associate's H-1b case. Under tight deadlines and unique particulars, Attorney Sethna prepared and submitted an application to the USCIS that was approved with absolutely no RFE (request for Evidence) from USCIS, however minor. We are very pleased with the ou...tcome, and with Attorney Sethna's professionalism during the process.

Success on H1B visa petition

Mr. Farhad Sethna is a very knowledgeable and skilled attorney who filed an H1B petition for me on behalf of my employer and we promptly received an approval with very less waiting time. From guiding us about the nuances of the H1B visa, to putting my name in the visa lottery, to filing the petition... for H1B within the narrow window we had in my unique case, he has helped us throughout the process with success on the petition. Even during this tense political environment, we received an approval from the USCIS without a Request for Evidence within just a few weeks of filing the H1B petition. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking any services in immigration law. He is extremely knowledgeable, efficient, honest and professional.

Hired Mr. Sethna and his team in 2021 for my spouse immigration case, they’ve been great help in this process. Mr. sethna’s team is great specially Elizabeth, she helped a lot with all the paperwork and every single detail. Farhad himself answered questions for us too, anytime we needed to know some...thing they answered us quickly and very responsive. Will recommend Farhad and his team to anyone for sure.

Farhad helped bring my spouse to the US

Farhad was meticulous in the long and tedious process of submitting an I-130 petition for alien relative and subsequent I-601 religious and moral waiver which were both approved. He was prompt in submitting documents to the USCIS and NVC. Farhad and Elizabeth helped us with the paperwork, prepare for... our interview and answered any questions they could. Elizabeth was also wonderful to work with. Overall, we are happy with their work and are glad that my spouse finally made it to the US.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
