Immigration Help for my Entire Family!

I am from Mexico and have been with Mr. Rathi and his team for the last 7 years. They have helped many members of my family to obtain their legal status in the United States. They helped my brother obtain an extreme hardship waiver, they helped me adjust status, they helped my wife and my father na...turalize, they brought my mother, my brother, my sister and even my sister's child to the United States. Mr. Rathi's team also had removal proceedings terminated when necessary. They are professionals and deal with us in a courteous manner. They are very responsive to our calls and also resolve any issue that comes up. My wife and I have recommended many friends to them and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lawyer.

Roger Rathi and Sarah Bileti - extra ordinary professionals and lawyers in whose hands you can trust your case

I have been going through removal proceedings since 2011 (almost 2 years) and I have discussed my case with several Immigration lawyers in Michigan but couldn't find a lawyer who have plan of action and defense strategy that satisfies me and my wife. My case was complicated and involved criminal law,... family court and serious Immigration charges. Me and wife were recommended to Mr. Rathi's law firm. My wife contacted Mr. Rathi. Mr, Rathi throughly studied my case's factual information, procedural background not only in Immigration court but also of criminal courts. He right away visited me to Immigration Detention Center with his associate Ms. Sarah Bileti who took time to ask me question as they prepared their defense and answered my questions very patiently. Initially me and my wife were concerned if we are resting our case in right hands, but with dedication,hardwork and due diligence Mr. Rathi and his team put their best defense and not only prepared my case rock solid defense and saved me from getting deported but also saved me from serious new charges DHS brought forward on I-261 of aggravated felony. I was about to give up and started planning my new life back home, but Mr. Rathi gave me my career, family and my 14 years of permanent resident status back. I am furthermore seeking Mr. Rathi's assistance for my citizenship processing as I trust his strong hands and proficiency. Me, My wife, my siblings and my elderly disabled mother are thankful to Mr. Rathi and Ms. Bileti for their outstanding representation. I strongly recommend Rathi for any kind of immigration matters as he have a diversified team of attorneys in his team that helps your case in best possible manner. Because of him I am able to continue my PhD Program in Health Informatics and Information Technology at Western Michigan University. Thank you Mr. Rathi and Ms. Bileti once again. May God Bless You all.

Green card filing

I am currently living in Michigan with my wife, we used Roger Rathi and associates to file for my green card. After my visa expired we were uncertain about how to apply for my green card because of the larger number of forms and documentation required. Roger and Sarah were both very helpful with eve...ry step of the process, they made sure we understood everything we needed to do and what to expect along the way. The process was elaborate and they helped us identify all of the documents we would need to file successfully, filed all of our forms, and accompanied us to our interview. I was just approved for my green card and my wife and I are very happy that we decided to use Roger and associates. They were very helpful and a great comfort to have during this process.

Great Immigration Attorney

Roger Rathi along with Sarah Bileti did a wonderful job of guiding us through the Green Card process. They were easy to reach, responsive to our concerns, and the process went as quickly as could be expected. Overall, a great experience.
