Organized and Clear

Farhad, worked on my work visa application along with my employer. It was a very good experience working with him. He explained all the immigration rules and procedures with lots of patience and have given me, clear picture of the case through out. Farhad neither gave me false hopes of visa approval ...nor discouraged me about it. He explained pros and cons in each situation and handled the case in a very balanced and organized way.

Excellent service

Farhad and his team are very professional. During the process, whenever my husband and I have any questions, Farhad always provides us with clear answers and professional advices! In our case, since my husband and I work in different states, so our interviews ended up being in different USCIS offices.... We really appreciate that Farhad were able to go with us to our interviews, although they were at different locations and times. Overall, Farhad and his team's service is excellent!

I-140 application

I worked with Mr. Sethna for filing my I-140 application in EB1a and EB2 (NIW) category. It is important to point out that I had consulted several immigration lawyers before I hired Mr. Sethna. After reviewing my CV Mr. Sethna suggested to file my application in EB1 category. He was the only attorney... out of several that I consulted to see the merits of the CV and how can I utilize it in my favor. My application in EB1 category was approved recently. Had I not hired Mr. Sethna who provided me with an impartial advice, I will probably have been waiting for years to get my I-140 approved! The reason why I give this example is because Mr. Sethna's approach to reviewing and utilizing the strengths of your case is very unique and at a personal level. Unlike many other attorneys, he works with you to make a very strong case. He will give you a fair advice regarding your case. Truly, he had more confidence in my application than I myself did! It definitely worked in my favor. Additionally, Mr. Sethna and his secretary Elina were very prompt in answering all my questions (which I had way too many) and were always available to help. He had strong work ethics and is very approachable. I am extremely thankful to him for his help and I will strongly recommend him to candidates looking for a trustworthy and reliable immigration lawyer.

Successful Permanent Residency Case.

Attorney Farhad Sethna is in my estimation the best Immigration attorney you could ever hope to have. He is exceedingly professional, compassionate, empathetic, detail-oriented and honest about the viability of your case. He is very time-conscious, specific in the required documents needed, dilig...ent in conducting the legal research and it is very clear he practices this area of law out of sincere passion for this field. The amount effort and time it took to compile the documentation and responses required by USCIS was outstanding. Attorney Sethna is completely dedicated to his clients and has made a wonderful difference in my life, by successfully representing me and my case. He has my highest recommendation and deepest respect. RMG, OH.
