My practice focuses on providing holistic and customized immigration solutions to my clients- business, individuals, and families. I represent businesses insecuring Nonimmigrant Visas and U.S. Legal Permanent Residence for their employees. I assist individuals and families in obtaining Permanent Residence, Naturalization, K and F Visas, and in obtaining waivers of inadmissibility. I represent companies in corporate immigration compliance as well.
I also help employers resolve disputes with their alien employees relating to issues typical of foreign workers. I can draft employment agreements in accordance with State (CA) and Federal Laws to ensure that employers do not enter into disputes at all!
In addition, I assist individuals/entities in selecting the best legal structure (LLC, C Corp, S Corp etc.) for their business and help them incorporate their business.
Summarily, the services that I provide are not limited to immigration, but include related areas of law. I believe that this approach allows me to provide enabling business solutions to my clients. I partner with them in achieving their business objectives, while ensuring the success of their immigration program.

Competent and professional
Sweta is very competent attorney. She and her team helped me with my H1 visa petition by taking all the right steps to build a strong case. During the transfer process, she answered all the questions I had, and also gave status updates regularly. Highly recommended!
