Immigration deportation poceedings

I am really satisfied with the services provided by Mr. Bhakri's law firm. I have received tremendous emotional and instrumental support from this law firm. I have been placed in deportation proceedings due to convictions, and this law firm took care of so many hurdles from there. Finally I got my... GC. I have noticed important thing about this law firm is, that there are no gimmicks and pretty responsible about what they need to do for my case. I have to give 100% credit to them about the briefs they put together to face the case. I really recommend this firm for any immigration related issues.

Terrific Counsel

I am from Ethiopia. I arrived the United States in 2004. I applied for asylum. I retained couple of attorneys to represent me in removal proceedings. The immigration judge denied my application for asylum. The Board of Immigration Appeals and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals denied my case appeals i...n 2006. I lost hope to be in the United States. I then retained the Law Offices of Ashwani Bhakhri in 2012. Mr. Bhakhri told me that there is little hope for success. He was candid and honest. He worked very hard. He filed a Motion to Reopen with the Board of Immigration Appeals. The Board denied. The 9th Circuit Case remains pending. Mr. Bhakhri worked hard to reopen my case. He convinced the US government attorneys to join me in a Motion to Reopen. Mr. Bhakhri knows how to put a plan together. He has in depth knowledge about the immigration laws. My husband and I are extremely happy with his work. Now I am hopeful to get my green card. He is incredibly sharp about the immigration laws. His staff is decent and very helpful. All I want to thank Mr. Bhakhri for giving me new life and hope to stay in the United States.

BRILLIANT

I am from India. I have been in the United States for the last 10 years. I am married and I have a child. It was extremely difficult to make living without lawful status. I happen to meet Mr. Bhakhri through a friend whose case Mr. Bhakhri fought and obtained status not only for my friend, but for hi...s cousin, father and younger brother. I became victim of a violent crime in Milwaukee around 8 years before. Mr. Bhakhri convinced the Milwaukee Police Department to sign certification and he successfully fought my case. Now I am lawful. Thanks to Mr. Bhakhri. He is brilliant lawyer. He is humble, honest and hardworking person. He is an outstanding attorney. My family in India and my wife here are very happy. Mr. Bhakhri is incredibly good and very practical. He is best around. Lots of thanks to Mr. Bhakhri and his hardworking staff.

GOOD LAWYER

I love my lawyer. I was improperly removed by Immigration authorities to Fiji Islands. I was placed in Deportation Proceedings. I had couple of attorneys before I hired Mr. Bhakhri, a great immigration lawyer. He fought hard with the immigration authorities in the US and represented me before the Imm...igration Judge in San Francisco. He got me back from Fiji Islands. I entered the United States as an immigrant. Thanks to Mr. Bhakhri, his associates and his staff. Mr. Bhakhri is a great lawyer. I highly recommend him to others.

MY ATTORNEY IS THE BEST

I came to the US in 1999. I applied for asylum in 2001. I did not get interview notice. I retained Mr. Bhakhri in November 2011. I had no paperwork with me. He requested copy of my file from immigration. He reopened my case and had the Immigration Judge terminated the proceedings against me. He then ...filed adjustment of status application which got approved today. I am now legal permanent resident. I am so pleased for the services Mr. Bhakhri given to me that I have no words to express. He is very honest, candid and helpful person. He is very human. He is very knowledgeable about immigration cases. I thank him and his staff from the bottom of my heart. My children in Fiji are very happy and extend thanks to Mr. Bhakhri for helping me.
