7th-year H1-B extension + Re-filing 1-140

My case was very complicated one because my I-140 was denied 2 times and my 6 years H1-B was expired almost a year ago. Also I had very limited time because my H1-B was expired and I-485 status could be expired anytime soon. That means I had to leave the US in a month or so. I contacted more than ...10 lawyers through my friends’ recommendations, but no lawyer wanted to take my case because my case was too complicated and no lawyer wanted to take a risk losing the case. And the time is too short for them to review my case and prepare for the filing. So I did some research on line and I found Arit. I emailed him first with all the information; my status, and my situation, and what I wanted to achieve, etc. Then Arit gave me a call about 30 minutes after I sent my email and he told me that he can take my case. That was the moment I felt a big relief from looking for a lawyer for almost one month. Arit respects his clients very much. He listened to me and understood my goal. Once I started to work with Arit, I could file my 2nd I-140 in 3 weeks and I could file my 7th-year H1-B application only one week after I filed my 2nd I-140. As a result, My H1-B was approved in 2 weeks. Now I have my immigration status back and I can stay in the US and work! Arit always answers all my questions and he explained everything in simple English very patiently. That was very helpful for me like non-native English speakers. Also he is extremely flexible in terms of meeting. I could meet him even on weekend when I really needed to meet him. He was always available to us via email, and very quick to respond. And Arit provided support throughout every step of the process to ensure a favorable outcome. I don’t know the result of my 2nd I-140 because it will take 4-5 months, so I need to wait a few more months. Regardless of the outcome, I would definitely recommend Arit for all your immigration needs! I I could have been deported by now without his help. Thank you very much Arit!

Top Notch Immigration Attorney

I was introduced to Arit Butani via a friend to help me with my permanent residency (aka Green Card). This was a complex process for myself as I previously on an employment visa which was due to expire. Working with Arit was excellent, he knew the process inside and out and answered every question th...at I had patiently and correctly. As some of us know this requires a lot a of documentation to be submitted by the company, which Arit did perfectly, giving guidance to the people involved where required. He kept me up to date on all aspects of the process and gave me weekly updates on the progress. I would highly recommend Arit and his services (in fact I did to a few co-workers).

Arit provided advice and guidance on the greencard application process and interview. His consultations over phone and email were very helpful and made the process easier. He responded to questions and concerns in a timely manner and provided support throughout every step of the process to ensure a f...avorable outcome. The daunting process of getting a greencard was made much easier with Arit's help. I would highly recommend his services.

Best Immigration Services

Working with Arit was an extremely satisfying experience. I worked with him on my Green Card process and it could not be more seamless. Going through this process can be very stressful here in the US. But when you are working with someone who is extremely clear, to the point and so organized, there a...re no chances of any surprises and confusion. He is extremely flexible in terms of meeting with you at any point in time during the process, he will make it so easy and is always willing to answer questions all the time. He was always available to us via email, and very quick to respond back,almost every time on the same day. When you have an attorney like that, he makes you feel like your case is very important and gives you complete attention. Any updates on your case he personally reviews them online and keeps you in the loop at all times, which is amazing because you know he always on top of everything and you need not worry about anything. Even before my interview, I really wanted to meet him and have a chat, he was readily available and talked to us in detail and gave us all the confidence I needed. He takes extremely good care of his clients and is a genuine person. I HIGHLY recommend his immigration services and look forward to working with Arit in the future!
