Review on Attorney Roger R. Rathi

I am originally from Nigeria. My husband and I have been with Mr. Rathi for last 7 years. he has helped us in many petitions and reently, he successfully completed work for my mother and citizenship for my two children. I am very happy to recommend Mr. Rathi's law firm to anyone needing legal help. t...he staff and attorneys would always treat you with utmost respect and always take time to hear what you have to sat and that is very important to me. i can always speak directley to an attorney in this firm which is not true in other firms. Thanks Mr. Roger.

My Naturalization - Could be more happy!

I found Roger by reading online reviews and thought to give it a try. I am from Jordan and I had some problem during the process and I was afraid that I will not be granted my citizenship. Roger always answered my calls and e-mails, took me to the interview and got it success! Thank You Roger and ...Team. I am so happy I found them. Phenomenal work. I highly recommend this attorney.

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.

Hired for Husband's Green Card Process

I hired Roger Rathi to help with the process to get my Canadian husband a US green card. From the start, Roger was extremely helpful, kind and honest. He told me exactly what my family needed to do in order to get the process completed successfully. Anytime I had a question, he or his staff would ...respond via email, almost immediately. The timeline he had laid out for us was on point...and when the time came for the final interview, they talked through every question and concern we might have had. We were in Virginia - not local in Michigan, during this entire process...which initially was a concern of mine... but we quickly found that being local was not necessary to make our case successful. I highly recommend Roger and his entire firm for any case like ours! Thank you, Roger!
