Jay is a phenomenal immigration attorney. He successfully helped me with my EB-1 application followed by I-485 adjustment for my spouse and myself. We approached Jay after speaking with numerous (highly reviewed) immigration attorneys. We chose him for his shining reviews but most importantly we c...hose him because he was the most professional and straightforward with his assessment of our case. We wanted to have EAD for my spouse ASAP and he was the only attorney who prudently advised filing the I-140 and I-485 concurrently. That allowed us to receive our EADs in less than 4 months. He worked on my EB-1 dossier and helped us throughout the process. He advised me diligently and built the application that highlighted my technical experience in a manner that any non-technical person can understand. I believe this is his biggest quality. He continuously guides you to represent your technical achievements in a way that USCIS immigration officers can understand it easily - allowing for smooth approval. Jay specializes in marketing your achievements/experience to overcome all the gaps in the visa requirements. Even in challenging cases or RFEs, he crafts the response to remove even the slightest doubts/kinks resulting in speedy approval. Not to mention his calm and composed demeanor, sharp wit and goal-oriented approach. He is always available and easily approachable to answer any/all your queries and stays on top of your case (EAD/AP renewals, address change etc) throughout the process. I have recommended Jay to several friends and colleagues for different immigration needs (H1B, H4-EAD, O1, EB-1 and associated RFEs) and all their applications have been successful - 100%. My spouse and I highly recommend Jay for all your immigration needs - he will not disappoint you. Professional yet very personable immigration lawyer. All the best for continued success!

Jay helped me and my employer file my H1B petition. My employer did not know any attorney or firm to help with my petition. I found out about Jay and his firm from Avvo - there were such positive reviews about his firm's accomplishments and success even in tricky situations. It was a good starting po...int, and I suggested my employer to hire Jay's firm for my H1B petition. From the very beginning, Jay has been very straight forward about the requirements and expectations of the process. Throughout the filing process, he was super proactive and thorough. There was no room for any delay on his part, and I am so glad that my petition has been approved! I could not have asked for a better attorney. I will recommend his firm to anyone who asks me.

I enlisted into the military via the MAVNI program when I was on J1 visa. Few months later, the program was suspended putting me (and others like me) in a precarious situation. Mine was so difficult because most lawyers kept insisting I needed a J1 waiver before adjusting my status even though I wa...s a U.S. Soldier BUT none was willing to take up my J1 waiver case (all I had was a granted Deferred Action)...until I met Jay. From the outset, you can't miss his forthrightness and professionalism while discussing with him. However, what sets him apart from the rest was his willingness to see an opportunity for action. He took on my case and within a few months I got my J1 waiver request administratively closed: in layman's term, CIS acknowledged in clear terms that I didn't need a J1 waiver because I was a MAVNI soldier (an not "in spite of"), opening an opportunity for me to get a green card. Few months later, I became a U.S. citizen (Nio vs. dhs class action favorable partial summary judgement). I will forever be grateful to Jay for his guidance during my darkest immigration hour.

Jay is a well knowledgeable and experienced immigration lawyer, very easy and patient to work with, highly-managed and friendly. I was lucky to find Jay after receiving NOID on my EB1-B petition, he not only assured that I will get it approved but worked very closely on my case, and together we got i...t approved within only 2 working days. He is very dedicated and extremely professional lawyer who knows exact and customized plans for his cases.
