Immigration Consulting and Advise

When my company applied for my green card I felt like I was one of the few lucky people because I have been working for one of the fortune 500 companies, have a MSc in Aerospace Engineering, and the law firm that my company hired was one of the biggest nationwide. In addition, my immigration status w...as current and most of my friends who got their cards with similar status as myself got their GC in about 1.5 years. However, such was not the case. What normally takes 1.5 years instead took 5 long arduous years in my case before my application was finally approved. The long wait was a result of my company’s slow processing time and mistakes done by the supposedly nationally recognized law firm that worked on my GC process. During this time I was fortunate enough to meet Dakshini Senanayake and her law firm “The Law Offices of Dakshini R. Sen P.C”. I would have loved to hire Dakshini Senanayake’s services but my company did not hire Dakshini Senanayake’s services because of long corporate approval process. Instead, I hired her as an external consultant to oversee the process and advice, teach and help me understand the GC process and explain my rights. She was an excellent adviser and walked me through the current immigration laws and my company’s approach. She taught me my legal rights and helped me to ask smarter questions so that we can prevent future delays. Compared to most of the lawyers I met, she distinguished herself with superb customer service. She listened patiently and was empathetic with my situation. She is one of the few professionals who take cases personally to bring the best result. For instance, I needed her advice on one document and when I called her office I learned that she was on vacation in Europe with her family. I still sent my questions through e-mail and she responded about 11 PM at her local time. I think this is a great example of her customer care. I have referred my friends to her and they were thankful to me. Her fees were also very reasonable for the services she provided. Dakshini is a very knowledgeable immigration lawyer who always puts her clients’ interest at heart and I highly recommend her. Please feel free to contact me if you have additional questions about Dakshini and her services.

One of THE BEST Law Firms for Immigration

I have been working with Law office of Dakshini R. Sen PC since 2006 to present, and they were very helpful, kind, professional and knowable. They handled our H1B.s transfers, dependent visas, LCA for H1, Green card, 140, I-485’s, I-131’s, I-765’s etc. for myself and my spouse. They have always been... very responsive, answered all my questions and concerns and made me feel at ease. I have recommended them to my friends in past who had successful approvals in immigration related processes. I strongly recommend to go with their firm who need non-immigration and immigration related processes done because they specialize in Immigration and are very knowable about everything. In my experience they are very kind and a true pleasure to deal with. Their fee's were reasonable and they guided me through the whole process and kept me very informed of the steps and walked me through everything. I felt very at ease with them handling our case. They helped me successfully receive my H1’s, Transers, EAD’s and now green card and I couldn't be more happy and pleased with their firm. Thank you for again for all your help Law office of Dakshini R. Sen PC!

Highly Recommended for Immigration Cases

I feel very fortunate that I was referred to Dakshini by a friend for my immigration case and had her handle it. Dakshini and her team are extremely professional, knowledgeable and considerate. Dakshini has been my lawyer for my H1B visa applications twice already. Her staff specially, Jina and Alisa..., her paralegals who had been assigned to my cases on the two occasions were also very patient, informative and available at all times of my numerous queries or doubts. Dakshini herself is very understanding of the client’s situation and state of mind, she has dedicated her time over phone appointments to answer my questions in detail whenever I had them. Although I am located in Boston, MA and Dakshini’s offices are in Houston, TX and New York city, my cases were handled with great care and diligence. I would definitely and highly recommend Dakshini for your immigration case be it simple or complex. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank her for being so kind to take up my cases and being so efficient at it. I am lucky I found her!

Best Law firm On The EARTH

I want to share my recent experience with the one of best law firm on this EARTH. I been so many places around the world and dealt with so many immigration law firms but i never seen such a knowledgeable law firm in their field. Just they implement following 3 things....... LISTENS **** PLANS **** E...XECUTES. They will LISTEN your case carefully and shows lot of patience when they deal with customer and PLANS for accordingly to EXECUTE your cause perfectly. The firm has wonderful team to handle client's all kind of immigration issues. They are pioneers in this field. My case was very critical but when they taken up it started sailing without any road blocks. They never provided false hopes on my case. What ever they said, that was happened in my case.
