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.

Highly Recommend

My wife, 3 children and I initially planned on navigating the immigration process ourselves until Duriya came highly recommended to us. Duriya presented all of our options including the Adjustment of Status option which we had not considered before. If it wasn't for this, we would have been looking ...at spending many months apart. Then Covid 19 hit; we would still be apart right now if it wasn't for Duriya - some 15 months after we made the decision to file the AoS. Thanks to Duriya, myself and our 3 children are now proud US Permanent Residents. We couldn't have done it without Duriya - she is both personable and professional - and I highly recommend her.

Employment Based Green Card- Chef position

It was a tremendous experience to work with Duriya. Always reachable, concerned and well responded. She has a pleasant personality with a smart mind. We hired her for employment Based Green card, Chef for Saffron Patch. She has an immense expertise on Employment Immigration. Her case drafting s...kills and presentation are tremendous which resulted no RFE on any stage of the case. Without any delays she processed our case in a very timely manner. I truly and highly recommended her for Immigration cases. I feel I was blessed to have her as our Attorney. Sunny.

H1B

If you want a lawyer who is always available to answer your questions and help you out through the process, look no further. Duriya was hired by my company to process my H1B visa. She had promised us that she will be present to help us out with any questions 24/7 and she delivered on that. The case w...as subjected to an RFE, and she helped us get all the paperwork completed and processed on time to get us the approval. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an immigration attorney!
