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.

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.

Client .

I would recommend attorney Duriya Dhinojwala to any one with immigration issues, she did so much for me when immigration had only given me 30 days to respond and when she took the case, it was only 2 weeks left, she is not only an attorney, but she is devoted, a fighter , she is a has a heart ,ver...y approchable, she comforted me, assured me she will handle my case and she did, she always responded no matter what time I contacted her , my case was successful. She is an experienced attorney and knows what she is doing, she is price friendly lawyer .

Immigration

Duriya truly represents best interests of her clients. She is very knowledgeable, thorough and compassionate. She helped me to obtain my permanent residency. Thanks to her, everything went smoothly and I became US permanent resident in about a year. She is always available to advise, explain and a...nswer any question you may have. Besides being an outstanding professional, she also has very nice personality, and it’s simply a pleasure to work with her.

Extremely helpful and committed

I consulted with Duriya about some immigration questions and she was able to provide me with some excellent advice. She was very knowledgeable about the subject matter. More over, she proved to be immensely resourceful as she went out of her way to further consult with colleagues to explore multiple ...solutions to a challenging question. I highly recommend her!
