Excellent work by Dana

I had my PERM denial in May 2013 with my earlier employer was based in New Jersey. So I had to change my employer to start a new PERM process ASAP. In this process I got introduced to Dana by my new employer to work on my H1 and Immigration process (sponsored by my new employer). By that time I just... had 10 months left for my 6 years of my H1 expiry. During that time PERM approvals were taking near about 10 months. So I was concerned about my status as I was running out of time. Then I had a call with Dana and she was positive that I can get my I-140 before my 6th year of my H1 expiry. As I was running out of time, she also explained me the options incase of PERM audit. Then I agreed to start the process. She first started with my H1 transfer, which went smooth without any RFE, then PERM and I-140 on time. Then she got my H1 extended for another 2 years after I got my I-140 approved. I have not received a single RFE/audit with all of my petitions filed by Dana. This will show how perfect her documentation and demonstration of the case to USCIS without any delays. Dhan is very prompt in responding on emails. As she is very prompt on email, I didn't get a chance to call her and follow up. Her staff Shilpa, Tess, SD, Adam are also very supportive in making excellent work. I am glad I got all my immigration issues resolved on time with the help of Dana and her teams excellent work. I highly recommend Dana to anyone who are looking for your immigration needs.
