F1 OPT to H1B

I am very glad that I had Duriya as my attorney to file my H1B. She is very knowledgeable and explains you the process thoroughly. She clarified all my doubts and was quick to respond to my emails and messages. The process went very smoothly and I got my H1B approved without any issues. I strongly re...commend her.

H1b Transfer

I am a dentist by profession. Ms. Dhinojwala was hired by my Hospital. She was very quick to respond and answers all my emails and phone calls or the messages.

F1 to H1B change of status- tough situation

I am so glad that I had Duriya throughout my approval process. My situation was a tricky one since I was planning to go to India. I am on STEM OPT and wanted to get my H1B approval and stamping done in India since I was anyway travelling. This suggestion was given to me by Duriya as well, since she k...new that I had travel plans. Everything was fine until I landed in India and within a week covid hit hard and all the visa embassies closed or were about to close. My visa filing was not done yet (I guess Duriya had a sense of things and she waited, am so so glad she did). I wanted to come back to US but wasn’t sure until she suggested strongly that I should come back and then she should file visa here so that I can get approval process done easily or I can get stuck back in India. I am so glad and so thankful to her that she showed me the correct way. I got my visa approval done today. Cannot be more relieved and cannot thank her enough for all the help she gave me during this process. I highly recommend her. She is very thorough in her work, takes her time, studies your case and then takes a step ahead. Trust me you will not regret her decision. This is coming from someone who had less than a month of STEM OPT left and desperately wanted to get the work visa approval.

H1b

Duriya was hired by my company to file my H1B transfer and she has helped me to get approved for remote work in California. I recommend her highly for immigration related professional services. Thanks Duriya for helping on H1b transfer process.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
