Trouble-free fiancee visa

Kalpana helped my fiancee get her U.S. visa while living in India. Kalpana had enough experience to anticipate common issues with obtaining supporting documents for our case, and was able to help us avoid delays and keep us on track to meet deadlines. She coached my fiancee through mock interviews wi...th questions that the consulate was likely to ask in Chennai, and did the same for our joint interview here in the U.S. She was thorough, organized, and proactive every step of the way, making sure we understood exactly what to expect. Immigration issues can be stressful, and Kalpana gave us peace of mind and confidence that we were presenting the best case we could.

Excellent Experience

Working with Kalpana on my immigration process was the best option the company could have. She and her staff were clear all the time about what was needed on my side and answering all the questions I had patiently, quickly and always very informative. I highly recommend Kalpana's office in immigra...tion cases.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Kalpana and I have known each other since 2011, and have no hesitation in labeling her one of the finest immigration lawyers I know. Kalpana and I are currently co-chairing the South Asian Bar Association (SABA) North America immigration committee with Aarti Kohli, and I am well-aware of her expertise first-hand. She demonstrates great conscientiousness and is truly an advocate and leader in the immigration community. A few years ago, when ICE closed down a University offering online courses to foreign nationals in the Bay Area called Tri-Valley University, Kalpana became a national leader in advocating for affected students. She represented many of these students in their reinstatement at other Universities, and she successfully helped many of them through removal proceedings. She was creative and sensitive to her clients' needs, and I often turned to her for guidance while representing many students. I am confident that she is an outstanding immigration advocate for her clients."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
