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.

Best immigration attorney in town!!

Nothing can be more important for new immigrants to the United States than immigration matters and you always need an immigration law expert for the right advice on these critical issues. Dakshini is an immigration law expert and a true professional, a new immigrant to the States needs to handle ...anything related to immigration in a successful manner. I have engaged her services to handle all my immigration visas, including my H1B with different employers and the entire Green card process. The detail and thoroughness in preparing these applications within time-specific tight deadlines is really admirable. Plus, she was always available to answer every minor question for me via email or phone in spite of her busy schedule. I would also like to mention her courteous and professional staff, who reviewed my documents critically and made sure everything was in the right order before it was mailed to USCIS. I especially want to mention Sai & Gina who handled all the different cases in my journey from H1B to Green Card. Thank you Dakshini and her entire team for the great work and exceptional service to your clients and Law offices of Dakshini R. Sen. P.C. is where your search should stop, if you ever need an immigration attorney.

Success is redefined via excellent immigration service. Thanks You!

Immigration matters demand a dedicated, professional and timely service. My both cases (H1B and GC) were extremely time sensitive and I was looking for an immigration firm who can help me throughout the process and my search has ended with Dakshini. I will highly recommend her for all immigration nee...ds. During my H1B and GC both cases, They put in extra efforts which intern resulted in success. I would like to specifically thank Renuka who always has handled all my H1B and GC processes professionally. Renuka not only helped me for my immigration matters but also helped me and my employer understand all the necessary steps which made the process smooth, fast and hassle free. She is very attentive, prompt, knowledgeable and provides the best advice which is in favor of both the employee and the employer. My documents and file are always reviewed twice by their legal team and checked for any missing information or mistakes beforehand to avoid later hiccups. I will highly recommend Dakshini’s lawfirm for immigration needs. Thanking sincerely to all staff members and especially Renuka for such a brilliant and result oriented effort. Thank You!!!
