Review of Lawyer Bhakhri

Excellent service provided by Mr. Bhakhri in regards to my Green Card. Case was very complicated and my Green Card got approved in 7 months. I would not hesitate to recomend Mr. Bhakhri to anybody.

IMMIGRATION MATTER

I am from Mexico. I was referred to Mr. Bhakhri by one of his former client. He highly recommended him to me. My experience with him remained excellant. I had no immigration status when I came to him. I got my green card in the mail today. How Mr. Bhakhri got it for me, I have no idea. I applied unde...r SAW program in 1986-1987. Mr. Bhakhri's knowledge in immigration field is extraordinary. I must say that he is the one of the best immigration attorneys in the USA. Now my wife and daughter are going to get immigration status in the US. I am a happy guy now.

Immigration Expert

My family arrived in the United States in 1998, 13 years ago. Started off with an Immigration Consultant and 5 other Attorneys. Our case has been twice to the Ninth Circuit,Twice to the BIA Basically it was the end of the road for us, no relief was in site.Spent over twenty thousand dollars on my ...attorneys.Tried all avenues so we could continue to stay in the US. Then I googled to see if someone out there has had similar case as mine: Alas, I found one and their Attorney was Mr Ashwani Kumar Bhakhri. So i called Mr Bhakhri's office the next day, I remember it was a Saturday in January of 2010. Because I haven't had any positive outcomes with all my previous attorneys, I assumed this was gonna be another attorney to take me on a tail-spin. I was wrong, now I can tell you that I was knocking on the door of our Life Saver! Mr Bhakhri assured me he will do his best and he did, Thank You Lord for making me knock at the right door:)) Mr Bhakhri quickly turned the table around for me and my family. With his expertise he quickly identified what needed to be done ASAP because a mandate was on its way. We applied for a couple of stay with ICE(due to my husbands health condition:Dialysis) In the meantime he filed for our case to be re-opened by the BIA. Our third to the BIA and I could only hope,it was going to be a positive result because we've never had any good outcome with all our immigration case. I will never forget March 16th,2011 when I got a call from Mr Bhakri's Office that our appeal had been GRANTED. I was over the moon, i jumped,i cried, i ran, i celebrated, our first time to celebrate in 13 years with a positive result, thanks to Mr Bhakhri. Now our case is before the Immigration Judge and I know that we will pull it through. If you need an expert Attorney in whatever aspect of Immigration, look no further than Mr Ashwani Bhakhri, you will be saving your time and money! If you are reading my review and would like to talk to me in person, call Mr Bhakhri's Office and ask for my number. THANK YOU MR BHAKHRI, IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU,I WOULD NOT BE HERE!

What a lawyer Mr. Bhakhri is! Excellant...excellant..excellant....excellant. I had final order of removal. I had couple of lawyers before I contacted Mr. Bhakhri. He filed a motion to reopen which the Board of immigration Appeals granted. Other attorneys told me that I have to depart the United Sta...tes. Now my case is before the Immigration Judge. Mr. Bhakhri is smart and extremely knowledgeable about immigration matters. I highly recommend Mr. Bhakhri to those who have complicated immigration matters.
