Excellent job!

When my father in law received a notice to appear at his removal of conditions interview, we had many questions and concerns about the process. We were in desperate need of guidance. When looking for an attorney online we found the Ranchod Law Group and went in for a consult with attorney Yesenia R...osas. Ms. Rosas is very knowledgeable and has been a great deal of help to our family. She promptly calls me and emails me with answers to my questions. I definitely recommend her and the Ranchod Law Group to anyone who needs an immigration attorney.

Many Thanks to The Ranchod Law Group

I want to thank the Ranchod Law Group and particularly my attorney Yesenia Rosas for her excellent work in my U Visa case. She was persistent when the police department denied my U Visa certification multiple times and she never gave up until we successfully received the signed certification. I am ve...ry satisfied with her constant support and encouragement. She is kind and always treated me with the upmost respect. She quickly answered my questions and eased my concerns. I am also very satisfied with the Ranchod Law Group staff. They were always kind and respectful. Yo quiero darle las gracias al Ranchod Law Group y en particular a mi abogada Yesenia Rosas por su excelente trabajo en mi caso de la Visa U. Ella fue persistente cuando el departamento de policía negó mi certificación para la visa U varias veces y nunca se dio por vencer hasta que recibimos la certificación firmada. Estoy muy satisfecho con su apoyo y ayuda. Ella es una persona amable y siempre me trato con respeto. En todo momento me resolvía mis preguntas y dudas que yo tenía. También estoy muy satisfecho con todo el personal del Ranchod Law Group que me atendió con amabilidad y respeto.

A Life Changing Experience

I am a native San Franciscan. I met my husband in Berkeley, CA some years ago. My husband was born in Mexico, and had come to the U. S. when he was a young boy. He entered the country illegally he was unaware of this detail. As the years passed he was gainfully employed, and paid his taxes. He always... wanted to become a permanent resident but was afraid. His status as an illegal Alien prohibited him from traveling, driving, attending Dr. appointments, and a host of other events, and just daily activities. We made a decision to come out of the shadows and seek legal counsel in hopes that our lives would change for the better. I was in search of an attorney to assist us with this delicate matter- immigration. I researched law firms and I attended a few legal consultations. I made an appointment at Ranchod Law Group. The reason my family and I decided to put our trust in Ranchod Law Group was simple, Mr. Ranchod, his team of attorneys, and the paralegals were courteous, knowledgeable, great listeners and professional. From the first meeting my husband and I were relaxed even when speaking with him about personal matters regarding my husband’s illegal entry as a child into the U.S. The team of attorneys and paralegals made us feel comfortable and they worked diligently to assure that all of our documents were prepared correctly in order to be approved. The journey of becoming a permanent resident is challenging and very daunting. It’s stressful, time consuming and confusing. I couldn’t have completed this complicated process without Ranchod Law Group. If you have a loved one that needs to come out of the shadows and seek legal counsel regarding immigration; Ranchod Law Group will help you every step of the way, and they do it confidently, professionally, and with respect. I will forever be indebted to the staff at Ranchod Law Group, they provided my husband and I with a gift that is priceless. Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. Rodriguez

Sherrie, thanks for your kind words. It has been a privilege and honor to represent you. Working with clients like you is the reason that myself and team practice immigration law. I am happy that we were able to provide you with five star service and obtain your husband's green card via the I601a waiver. Best wishes, Kaushik

I 601 A

My husband and I went through the I 601A process and it seemed to be very confusing and daunting. We heard about Kaushik and decided we did indeed need an experienced attorney in immigration to help us. Kaushik and his amazing staff, mainly Claudia Linares, helped us through this process. My husb...and is now a resident thanks to all of their hard work! We are very grateful to Kaushik and Claudia. We definitely without hesitation recommend Kaushik and his staff to help anyone going through this process. It is nerve racking and times but Kaushik and Claudia was always there to reassure us! Best of luck to everyone!

He is one of a kind with a sincere desire to help

We Hired Mr Kaushik last week on such short Notice for our stokes interview. At first i was really panicking and wondering how we would handle the situation. Kaushik, definitely eased my mind and our fears. He was able to gather all the facts and necessary information that would work in our favor. H...e was very patient with us. He would listen with concern and give very detailed and precise advice to prepare us for the Interview. Even for the preparation he came up with like half of the questions that were brought up at the actual interview. His sincerity to help was very evident and even at the actual interview he did not leave any stone unturned. He made sure all our concerns were addressed and would step in to intervene whenever he had a chance to. I would definitely Go back to him if anything because i had dealt with a different Lawyer before and he did not even offer half of the help that Mr Kaushik did.

"Kaushik is a tremendously competent attorney, who has put together a great office of talented, efficient, and empathetic professionals. His familiarity with the ins and outs of immigration runs very deep (both family based and employment based) and he has a sharp mind for nuances in communicating with immigration officials.

"Kaushik is a very knowledgeable, driven attorney that I have had the pleasure of getting to know over the past year. He is full of creative ideas and solutions - 'no' and 'can't' don't seem to be in his vocabulary - instead, it's 'when' and 'how'. Clients in need of immigration law assistance (or attorneys in other practice areas in need of a contact in immigration law) would be well advised to get to engage with Kaushik."
