H1-B renewal

I am very glad to write this review regarding the renewal of H1-B extension to one of the staff. Ms. Renuka Perrera handled case and she was very professional and diligent during the process. She answered all the questions from me and was very helpful in the process. I sincerely thank her for the com...mitment and dedication.

Highly Recommended!

In 2003, I started my journey with Ms. Dakshini's offices in Houston. I got my H1-B and H4's done through her, after which we moved to Dallas and got my I-140 done through a local attorney. But when it came time to apply for adjustment of status, I went back with Ms. Dakshini despite her being in a d...ifferent city because I had seen how competent she was. After a long period (over 10 years), my I-485 came back denied, which resulted in a period of great panic and stress. At this time, however, Ms. Dakshini really stepped up to the challenge, even 10 years later. She spent hours digging through our documents and finally determined the mistake that USCIS had made in denying our application. She contacted our USCIS officer promptly and clarified some things with him, then accompanied us to a USCIS interview and explained to the officer exactly what had gone wrong and why our case should not have been rejected. This at last helped our case become re-opened and got us our permanent residence cards soon after. Throughout this entire process, Ms. Dakshini and her team (particularly Ms. Jina and Mr. Carlos) were extremely responsive, patient, and competent. They answered all our questions and were always available, even during the Houston floods when they were moving offices. It was great to see that even after over ten years of starting our case, Ms. Dakshini was just as invested in the case and familiar with its details, and went out of her way when we needed her the most. Ms. Dakshini and her team are very honest, hardworking, and dependable; I would highly recommend her for anyone needing an immigration attorney.

Excellent attorney with great customer service

Vi Nguyen and her team at Law Offices of Dakshini R Sen, P.C. helped me change my life. My H1B case got RFE this year for specialty occupation and Vi has become my hero. Her RFE response has very high quality with convincing arguments backed by strong supporting documents. She is also great at explai...ning my situation and guiding me with excellent advice that made me feel positive and optimistic. My H1B petition has finally been approved and I am very thankful to have Vi as my attorney. I would highly recommend Vi Nguyen and her team at Law Offices of Dakshini R Sen, P.C. if you are looking for immigration attorneys who are not only experienced and knowledgeable but also sweet and caring to make you feel relieved and secured. Thank you Vi :)
