Sr Director, Cyber Security

I started my EB1 with Sunita Kapoor a year back and i am so grateful to my friend who introduced me to Sunita and team. I was not very convinced about EB1 but her team assured me that they won’t take any case where they are not certain(very) of positive outcome. I am aware no one can guarantee a posi...tive outcome, but her team evaluated my case and assured me that I have a good chance and that’s what mattered to me, an objective evaluation. - Initial assessment: Included very professional and objective analysis of my professional life. I was asked many questions around my accomplishments, role, and compensation. Michael from Sunita's team assessed my case and agreed to accept it. - Retainer: I retained Sunita Kapoor as my lawyer and Michael started working with me on recommendation letters. - Gathering recommendation letter: This was the hardest part of the process for me. It took me a few months to get my first letter right. It needed multiple iterations. Michael was very helpful and provided good quality actionable guidance on time - Other paperwork: Once I was close to completing 5 letters, we started working on accomplishments which included article published, speaking engagements, company details etc. - Review: Once all the paperwork was ready Michael worked on creating a compelling case which could be easily understood. I was impressed how elegantly he would convert my jargons into plan English and ask me follow up questions to get to a powerful explanation of why it matters. I strongly believe this is the area where a good lawyer can make or break the deal. I was providing him bits and pieces of information, but he was the one connecting the dots and building a case. After the package was ready, I could see how he has joined all the work that I have done so far in a compelling case which could be easily understood. Each sentence was in the package was for a reason. He created a compelling case using the siloed information I provided him over 6 months. This is what I call impressive and not many lawyers can connect the siloed information. Sunita’s team knows what they are doing. It took me a year to complete my package. I could have done it in 6 months, but I added a delay of additional 5-6 months. Sunita’s team never added any delay. Michael was always available to talk to me, sometimes just to calm my nerves. Sunita is a personable(English is my second language so please pardon my errors) lawyer who will treat you like a partner and is in it with you to create a success story for you. My case was approved today but if I were to write this review a week back or even after a RFE, I would still say she did the best she could(trust me, she is very capable) and I am very happy my friend recommended me to her. I have developed so much respect for her as a person that I look forward to travel to Houston to just meet her. She is an extremely capable attorney with a very efficient team. She is also a good human. This review is for other people like me looking for a good attorney, I would recommend Sunita in a jiffy. I hope my review helps you decide.

Incredible Attorney

Sunita Kapoor has been an amazing attorney since the day I have known her. I contacted Ms. Kapoor for my US Immigrant Visa under the EB1A category in 2016 and I must affirm the journey has been amazing thus far. With her constant motivation, sheer perseverance, and dedication to her job, I have been ...successful in my application process. Sunita is thorough, meticulous, knowledgeable, trustworthy and someone who goes the extra mile to help her clients succeed in their life. Words adequately cannot express my gratitude to her for being more than an attorney to me. She offered me moral, emotional, and physical support during the recent bereavement of my friend in Houston, Texas. For once she did not let me go low and offered me several options and recommendations to shift my mindset and think positive. Attorney Kapoor in every step of my immigrant Visa process has remained committed, accountable and has offered me the relevant information, and has been extremely professional. Without any hesitation, I would highly recommend Attorney Kapoor for anyone seeking help for your Immigration needs. I bet you will for sure have a sense of belonging and a great sigh of relief when the outcome comes in your favor. My best wishes to Attorney Kapoor and her team for exhibiting professionalism and ethics. Keep up your good work and wish you much more success in life.

A lawyer with Extraordinary Ability & Insight

I'm qualified to write this review since I retained Attorney Sunita to represent me for EB-1A case. Right from the initial consultation till the I-140 approval (no RFE), she demonstrated that her team is on the top of their craft. I had approached her initially to talk about H1B stamping issues, and ...to evaluate my credentials for EB-1A. She interviewed me and asked "why do you think you are extraordinary?" This clearly demonstrated that she wants to take winnable cases rather than to keep the cash register ringing. She gets a gut feeling just by looking at the resume and through conversation whether we have a case or not. Having been an immigrant herself, she knows every letter, word and interpretation in the immigration book and how it can apply to a particular case and use it to our advantage. While attorney Sunita gives the final go before mailing the petition, it is important to note the contributions of her Associate, Attorney Michael Urbanowich who analyzes the documents, creates the arguments, and advocates on your behalf via the petition letter (brief). He has unparalleled insight into what works and what does not with immigration. He is extremely responsive, soft-spoken and patient. I had created a folder that had well over a 1000 pages of evidence and he was able to winnow it down to the essentials. The application took several months to prepare, but the result was positive and their legal fees is competitive. When I last spoke, the firm has a 100% success rate (knock-on-wood) in EB-1A petitions even in light of "Buy American, Hire American" executive order. I hope the immigration agency continues to adjudicate in her favor. If you are stuck in the stifling backlog and have the credentials, start with a formal consultation and let attorney Sunita and Michael make an assessment. If they say yes, look no further. You have found the best representation out there.

Professional & Courteous

Ms Sunita Kapoor and her team rocks! She is very meticulous in her work and very fast in responding to all your queries. I felt very confident having her by my side for the green card application of immediate relative. Her paralegal Allen Morris is very helpful and keeps a good track of your case and... responds with all updates very quickly. I would highly recommend Ms Sunita kapoor for immigration cases to have your peace of mind and her professionalism & work attitude is outstanding.

Adjustment of Status to Green Card from Visa Waiver - Mid 2013. Excellent lawyer, highly recommended.

Sunita Kapoor is an excellent immigration lawyer that immediately demonstrated to me the calm reassurance that only comes with extensive knowledge and experience in her field. As a lawyer myself, I understand that this is very important when dealing with matters where emotions, stress and apprehensio...n of a decision out of your hands runs high. I hired Sunita after our first meeting without hesitation to obtain an Adjustment of Status from a Visa Waiver to Permanent Residency under the family sponsorship. We lodged my application in June and I received Permanent Residency in August (less than three months). If like me, you want to hire the right person to guide you along this process, I can say that Sunita and her team (Mike & Allen) will be empathic to your case, provide sound advice, follow the correct path in your application and be genuinely happy for you when you are successful. In my experience, such qualities and genuine nature are rare and only adds to my high esteem of her team. For these reasons, I highly recommend her to anyone going through the challenging immigration process in the United States.
