Mr

Attorney Pooja was very helpful since the time she took up this matter until the final resolutions. She did what the previous lawyer couldn't do. Pooja was very informative and communicated with us on every step of the way.

Hired Pooja for EB1A GC category

It was only through Pooja's strong understanding of the EB1a requirements that I was able to successfully get my petition approved under this category in the 1st attempt itself -without any RFEs. Mine was a rather unusual case, as unlike most EB1a applicants, I don't have a PhD or work in the STEM fi...eld (I'm an International Development specialist). But Pooja helped me put together a winning case by providing comprehensive guidance, advice, and feedback on each and every aspect of my application. I thoroughly recommend her immigration services.

Excellent Attorney

During my GC application couple of years ago, I took the attorney services of Pooja's mother Nimmo Bhagat who is also an attorney! It was a breeze and she advised me perfectly (her knowledge and grasp of immigration law is immense) and I got my GC in 3 months! Recently it was time for me to file my r...emoval of conditions and since Nimmo had gone on to become a judge, I decided to take the services of Pooja. Needless to say, she has the same efficiency as Nimmo, particular about details and the best thing, very approachable and helpful unlike other attorneys with whom it is so tough to even get time to talk on the phone inspite of hiring them! I would strongly and sincerely recommend Pooja Bhagat's services!

"Pooja is an excellent immigration attorney serving the DC, VA, and MD areas. She treats clients with a great deal of respect and sensitivity to their individual situations. She is extremely dedicated to her clients and works on each case with great integrity and focus. Pooja's experience working with the immigrant communities in her personal life as well as working in the family and criminal fields in her professional life, have given her a very strong base of knowledge and compassion which she uses to advocate strongly for her clients. She is extremely hardworking and trustworthy. Pooja Bhagat is diligent, creative, and skillful when it comes to working to get her clients the best results possible. She is respected in the legal community and amongst her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking immigration counsel."
