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.

Excellant Immigration Attorney

If you need immigration related help from an attorney, go to Sweta - she has helped our family with two immigration status changes and have consulted with her on another immigration matter, each time it was a truly exceptional experience. She is knowledgeable and she will take time to explain the sce...narios in detail, which is exactly what you need for immigration cases.

Highly recommend!

Just like many Indians we had been waiting for our GC for almost a decade. When our kids were growing up, we were really concerned with them not only not aging out but also understand the options for them as they enter college. We were introduced to Sweta Khandelwal’s office and they got back to us v...ery promptly. Due to COVID situation, Immigration Consultation with Attorney Sweta Khandelwal was remote but she was very patient in reviewing our case, discussing options and also looking up for us the CA Dream Act stuff. We would highly highly recommend anyone who has any immigration needs and/or who wants to get a second opinion from an immigration expert on the options available to become a permanent resident of USA. If you are worried and not sure if your employer’s attorney is doing everything right e.g., should you downgrade from EB2 to EB3, talk to Attorney Sweta and you won’t be disappointed. She’s terrific… we are pretty sure we will use their office for Naturalization process!

My O1A Visa Petition

I have now been a client of Sweta for 6 years and during this time she has helped me with 3 more successful O1 visa renewals, with the most recent getting approved for 3 more years. She is also helping us with green card consultation and filing of H1 visas for our corporation’s employees. Sweta conti...nues to be a top lawyer with the best of knowledge and experience in the US immigration and citizenship law. 6 years and counting, I still continue to highly recommend her services. Thank you Sweta, you truly are a 5 star performer!

Great Lawyer.

I was having only couple of days left to file my RFE when i contacted Sweta Madam, to remove conditions on my permanent residency [i751 waiver], because i was stuck with some other immigration consultant who was not helpful at all, but when i contacted Sweta , i already started feeling that my case ...is in good hands now. She was very helpful , she guided me and worked hard herself for preparing my file. she always replied to my emails if i have any questions. In this short period of time she helped preparing the file so nicely and i was feeling very confident about my case, only after 15-16 days i received Approval letter from USCIS without any interview. I'm very happy and thankful to Sweta Madam for helping me out. I strongly recommend her for all types of immigration cases. Thanks Again !!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
