Highly Recommended. Green Card.

I highly recommend Anish and his law firm. After consulting another attorney who directed us to obtain a birth certificate or NABC, we had nearly given up hope of securing my mother’s green card, as obtaining either document was not possible in our situation. I then spoke with several other lawyer...s who offered conflicting guidance about the need for a birth certificate / NABC, which left me even more confused and discouraged. During my initial free consultation with Anish, he clearly explained that neither a birth certificate nor an NABC was required for my elderly mother and provided supporting documentation on the reciprocity rule. This immediately reassured me that I was working with someone who relied on facts, data, and expertise rather than assumptions. Throughout the process, Anish and his team were consistently professional, responsive, and thorough. The intake process was seamless through their online portal, and Anish demonstrated exceptional patience in answering all my questions. I always received prompt replies—often within minutes—and clear, step-by-step instructions at every stage. The applications were filed with USCIS without delay, and my mother received her green card within just a few months. I am deeply grateful for Anish’s guidance and professionalism. His expertise made what once seemed impossible a smooth and successful experience.

Knowledgable, Professional, Experienced Immigration Attorney. Highly recommended

I am very great full being connected with Anish, he is knowledgable, experience and professional attorney. My wife had received a 221g when she went for visa stamping, we are worried about the same. But Anish, helped us by asking the pin pointed questions and collecting answers to create a case for u...s. It’s only document submission for us as per 221g, but he had created a document bunch which helped my wife to get her visa stamped. He mentioned while in free consultation that, for my wife’s 221g response I don’t need to hire him and I can submit the required document by my own. But I insisted and it was a great decision made in this case. I will recommend Anish for immigration issues and would like to thank him for his efforts.

Reopened denied I485 case and helped me get my GC

Having got my I-485 denied due to my mistake I was looking for attorneys near Fremont and luckily came across Anish website. Scheduled a free consultation and felt so comfortable after the first interaction itself even though it was over the phone. Anish gave a thorough walkthrough of all the possibl...e scenarios of why the I485 was denied and gave me very detailed guidance on the next steps. Based on the conversation we decided to go with Anish and filed a motion to reopen for which he was so patient with the document verification and my endless questions. Thanks to his help finally we were able to submit the motion and got our cases reopened. His constant advice and guidance throughout this stressful time was so commendable and I am glad we found Anish to help us out of this sticky situation. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a thorough professional with amazing knowledge and insight on immigration matters and above all he always answered my questions/emails patiently. Thanks to his effort i still have my job and legal status in the USA and recently even got my Green card. Many thanks Sir

"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."
