Green Card

My wife and I both received our Green cards very smoothly and within 5 months of applying for it. We are thankful to Anish and his team. The process with Anish was organized and straightforward and he always responded promptly via email for any questions that I'd asked. Anish walked us through the pr...ocess at every step and he also came with me for my Green card interview, which was a great relief for me. We are very thankful for their excellent customer service and expertise and will surely recommend Anish to anyone in need of immigration attorney.

Very recommended!

I had a complicated case that became even more difficult because of a previous attorney who mishandled parts of my case. I spoke with several very well-known attorneys in the immigration field who charge very high fees, and all of them told me my case would take at least two years before I would see ...any results. Anish was the only attorney who told me it should take no more than a year. At first, we weren’t sure if it was risky to go with him, so we did more research about him and eventually decided to give it a try. The moment we signed the contract with Anish, he immediately started working on my case. Within an hour, he was already taking action and calling the court office because they would not give him all the information he needed. He found another way to get the answers we were looking for — and all of this happened on a Friday at 4 PM, literally right before the office closed. At that moment, I knew we had chosen the right attorney and that Anish would fight for me. After that, the entire process was incredibly fast. Anish knows the court and immigration system extremely well, and that gives him a huge advantage. Thanks to him, I received my green card within six months of signing the contract with him. Everything moved very, very quickly. In addition, everyone in his office was very kind and helpful. They even helped my mother-in-law over the phone step by step to complete her part of the application process, which meant a lot to our family. Most importantly, Anish was always available. Every time I emailed him, I received a very quick response — even during holidays. He also helped me with many questions, and I had a lot of questions throughout the process, but he never made me feel like I was asking too much or bothering him. That made a big difference and really helped reduce my stress. He is extremely patient, kind, understanding, and attentive. Combined with his experience, it’s a winning combination. He truly is the best attorney in his field. Other very famous attorneys I spoke to asked for a lot of money and told me the process would take two to five years. It was not worth it. Anish did the impossible, and I got exactly what I hoped for. If you need an immigration attorney, go to Anish without thinking twice. He is the best immigration lawyer.

Highly Reccomend

We had a great experience working with Anish and his firm. They helped my husband in finally receiving his green card. The team was incredibly knowledgable, helpful, and always quick to respond to any questions we had. Immigration processes can be stressful and confusing, but they made everything fee...l much more manageable by guiding us through every step. We truly couldn't have done it without their expertise and support. Highly highly recommend them to anyone needing similar assistance.

Great experience and successful case resolution

I had an outstanding experience working with this law firm. From the very beginning, he was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and thorough in explaining every step of the process. What impressed me most was his attention to detail and the care he put into my case. He was always responsive, answere...d my questions clearly, and handled everything with professionalism and confidence. His experience and understanding of immigration law were evident throughout the entire process. Office communication was also excellent, and I always felt informed and supported. That level of professionalism and dedication gave me a lot of peace of mind during the whole process. Thanks to his hard work and commitment, my case was successfully resolved. I truly appreciate the guidance and professionalism he showed from start to finish. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and effective immigration attorney!

Great Experience!

Working with Anish and his team on a marriage based green card was a smooth and stress-free experience. They were very responsive throughout the entire process and everything was handled faster than I expected. On top of that, the fees were fair and transparent, making it great value for the level of... service received. Very satisfied.

"Mr. Vashistha is among the best lawyers I have worked with. He has impressive academic credentials Graduating from Georgetown School of Law - a top tier school). He has proven himself in the courtroom also. I have worked on many cases with Mr. Vashistha and he has produced excellent results for his clients. Two cases Mr. Vashistha worked on stand out because before Mr. Vashistha took the cases over the two clients had been working with other attorneys who had mishandled these complicated cases. After the tragic mishandling by the former attorneys, the two clients met with many lawyers, all of which advised them that their cases were hopeless. After Mr. Vashistha took over thecases he was able to undo the harm and he won both cases. Mr. Vashistha is honest, ethical and dedicated to the cause of his clients. He is a zealous advocate and I strongly recommend him."
