Farhad “the Bomi” Sethna, A++++ service

Farhad is the best and only immigration attorney we will ever consult. Thanks to him we seamlessly navigated the adjustment of status process and I went from a tourist to a legal permanent resident in 10 months. Farhad and his staff know what they’re doing and how to do it. We thought we could naviga...te the process ourself, but we don’t know the little details and tricks to make our application sail through. Farhad does. If your family and your life is important to you, do it right. Reasonable fees, empathetic and understanding attorney, will go above and beyond to make it work for you!

Absolute delight to work with!

I engaged Mr. Sethna through my entire immigration process i.e. starting with L1A (2017) till I received my GC recently. Attorney Sethna, and his super-efficient Assistant Ms. Ryan, were an absolute pleasure to work with. We navigated some rough waters (denial, AAO appeal) and came through successful...ly solely due to the professional/prompt approach and experience of Mr. Sethna and Ms. Ryan. I would highly recommend to engage the Law Offices of Farhad Sethna for your immigration needs.

The Best Attorney

I found myself in a difficult situation and my previous attorney had actually done damage to my already difficult case. Mr. Sethna was honest from the beginning and explained everything I needed to know for the best possible outcome. He is full of knowledge, commitment and integrity. He truly went ou...t of his way to pull my case together. During the process I felt that he genuinely cared about me and my family. I will always be grateful to have found him and his team. He is the best attorney I have ever worked with and would recommend him 100%!

Absolute Best Immigration Attorney

At the time when I retained Farhad it was close to the time for me to renew my green card and I had only recently had a legal issue with the court. Farhad was able to walk me through the entire process from start to finish to get my green card renewed and gave advice to my attorney that was handling ...my court issue in terms of what would affect my immigration status and what wouldn't, this advice led to us resolving the court case without issue and also renewing my green card with Farhad filing the petition on my behalf. Earlier this year I became eligible for naturalization, I already knew however that I would not dream of moving forward with this by myself, especially considering my previous court issue. I retained Farhad once again and he filed the petition for Naturalization and in true Farhad form he walked me through the beginning to the end, including being present at my interview and being instrumental in guiding me through it. The last week of October 2020 I attended my oath taking ceremony and I am now a Naturalized American Citizen, this would not be possible without Farhad and Elizabeth, thank you both.

Highly Recommended Lawyer

Two years ago, I consulted with Farhad Sethna for help in obtaining a fiance (K-1) visa for my Asian partner , who was not a U.S. citizen, so that we could move to the U.S. My partner and I had been living together outside the U.S. for several years and had decided to move to the U.S. to be closer ...to my family. I found Mr. Sethna to be very knowledgeable of the process and very personable so I decided to hire him to help me with this effort. He very clearly explained the process to me and filed the required forms in a timely manner. He guided us through the long process of obtaining the K-1 visa while we were living abroad and on two occasions, helped respond to USCIS requests for further information. After waiting for a year and a half, we finally received the visa and emigrated to the U.S. last March. My partner and I got married shortly after arriving in the U.S. and Mr. Sethna applied for “Adjustment of Status” on our behalf so that my partner could become a permanent resident. In October, Mr. Sethna helped us prepare for our visa interview and accompanied us to that interview. We both appreciated his familiarity with the USCIS staff in Cleveland and his knowledge of the process which helped us get through this very stressful event. Last week, nearly two years after our first application, my partner received his “green card”. During this entire process, I found Mr. Sethna and his staff to be friendly, supportive and very professional. I would definitely recommend Mr. Sethna and his law firm to anyone seeking help with an immigration effort.
