Helped for my citizenship & my wife's immigration fast

First Roger Rathi helped me to obtain my citizenship. USCIS had denied it at first, but Mr. Rathi was able to get a new decision. They also quickly filed petition for my wife and get it approved very quickly. They were spot on with submitting the correct documents. I had change my status from green... card to Citizenship they helped me with that, also with changing the same status on my wife’s application. They paid all the fees which made the process go after, then I pay them back through a payment plan. They have a really good payment plan (very beneficial) and affordable. Disadvantage: Expect to pay more than the attorney fees. In my case we agree upon an initial fees but that didn’t include travel expenses, outgoing mail expenses, wrote a letter for my travel abroad charged $300 for that, I didn’t know that was extra till I saw the charge on the statement, my wife didn’t get the green card after 60 days she arrived so they called USCIS or filed a case online and for this they charged $50. They won’t check the case status and USCIS is really bad at sending documents about what to do next. I had to call USCIS at least 25 times to know what to do next and that way I can inform them that DS260 is ready to get filed and we have to call them and remind them about sending documents so I had to call USCIS at least 25 times to know what to do next and the wait time is at least 1 hour. But overall really nice attorney’s and really good at what they are doing. Thank you so much for all the help.

Received my citizenship and reinstatement of driver's license

I am from from Vietnam and I was referred to this firm by my sister. Mr. Rathi helped me with my citizenship and later reinstatement of my driver's license. They were very professional and helped me. They are real good. The attorney put together a great story of my positives and the hearing went ...extremely well. I am very happy to recommend this attorney to anyone needing legal help.

Helped tremendously with my legal issues

I am from Jamaica and have hired Roger's law firm for family law and immigration work. This firm takes time and makes sure that I understand what I am into and what the charges are for. They were very patient with me and helped me through my entire process. I worked with attorney Alyssa and she re...ally cared for my case. I highly recommend this firm.

Roger Rathi and Sarah Bileti made my dream reality

As a citizen of Romania, I came to the U.S. initially in 2002 as a visitor and then I changed status to H-1B. My employer filed an I-140 for me, but the company s attorney made several mistakes and my application remained pending for years. I left the U.S. in 2008 to visit my family and when I retur...ned to the U.S. in 2009, when I tried to re-enter I learned at the border that there was a problem with my status. I was paroled into the U.S. and placed in removal proceedings. In ten years, I went through several attorneys before finally finding Mr. Rathi and Sarah Bileti. Thanks to Mr. Rathi and Sarah, I have got my green card in less than a year and in 3 and ½ years after Mr. Rathi started my case, I got the US citizenship, something I could not dream before I meet him. I highly recommend Mr. Roger Rathi and Sarah Bileti to anyone with Immigration issues. He represented me before USCIS and the Immigration Court and throughout the process he gave me sound advice and guidance.
