H4 petiton Approved

My employer did not file H4 along with my H 1B. I did get it filed with my employer's attorney in 2014 and it was on pending status until Oct 2015. Since my H 1B was getting expired, and her H4 petition was in pending status, no other lawyer suggested me to apply her H4 petition again with my new H ...1B. I did book her ticket to send her back to my home country and 3 days before her departure date, I met Ms. Dakshini, she suggested me not to send her back and apply her H4 based on my new H1B petition. As per her feedback I did that and YES, now both the case are approved and we (me and my wife) are together now. This is one of the best law firm I have seen so far in US. Trust me if you have any immigration related issues or need any suggestions, please visit them, they will give you the best solutions and will help you solve the issue. Thanks to all the staff members for quick response. Best Regards,

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.

Excellent Law Firm

I am very pleased with this law firm. They handled my H1B processing with success in 2012. And recently me and my husband got our EB2 based Green Card approved without any RFE. Dakshini is very knowledgable and she is available to answer any immigration based questions through email and phone. Even t...he staff are very helpful and they'll make sure that all the required documents are submitted at the first place in order to avoid RFE. I have worked with four of their staff (Jina, Alisha, Renuka and Ramu) who did an excellent job in processing my H1B and GC application in a timely manner. They were always responsive to any questions I had during my application process. I would highly recommend this firm to my friends and family.

Excellent lawyer

I met Dakshini after several disappointing experiences with previous immigration lawyers. It was a relief. Dakshini was able to help me with my case and last year, I finally received my residency. I highly recommend her services, she is very professional, she keep up with the latest changes in immigr...ation, and she returned my calls and e-mails promptly. It is such a relief when you can find an attorney in whom you can trust.
