Immigration is not just a profession, it is part of my daily personal life, as I grew up as an immigrant and went through the immigration process.
At the age of one my family immigrated to the U.S. from Cape Town, South Africa. My family's immigration history begins with my great grandparents. They were extremely courageous as most immigrants are, as they traveled by boat from India to South Africa to make a better life for themselves. They worked hard to survive, as they did not know anyone in South Africa, did not have a job waiting for them, but they did have their work ethic and integrity. My grandparents managed to make a living by mending shoes. Eventually my grandfather turned that cobbler profession into a successful business by creating a shoe factory. Despite my grandfather's success in South Africa in creating a successful business, my grandfather wanted to escape the oppression of apartheid and make a better life for himself and his family. Therefore, he immigrated to the U.S. Then my father brought our family to the U.S. and attended Chiropractic school.
My wife was born and raised in Bombay (Mumbai), India and we met in the U.S. while she was teaching special needs children in Santa Clara, California. I travel to India often and stay with my wife's family in Bombay, which is one of the highlights of my year because I get the best Indian food and get to spend time with family! I understand on a very personal level why people are willing to leave their family, friends, and all that they know to start a new life in the U.S.
Thus it was only a natural evolution and personal calling for me to practice immigration law.
I consider it an honor and privilege to help make your life better. This is not a profession for me, this is my life; and thank you for the possibility of entrusting me with your future.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
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. I highly recommend the referral of immigration matters to Mr. Ranchod.
Jonas Grant, Immigration Attorney on Mar 12, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
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.

I endorse this lawyer's work. I am a family law attorney in San Francisco. I frequently have clients who have immigration issues associated with their divorces. Mr. Ranchod is an excellent immigration attorney. I have consulted with him on several occasions regarding our client's immigration issues.

Ernest Kim, Immigration Attorney on Nov 14, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have known Kaushik since 2005, and I highly recommend anyone who wants to immigrate to the United States to retain his services. There are very few attorneys who has Kaushik's rare combination of knowledge, professionalism, sincerity, and true concern for their clients' welfare. He has helped me immensely by answering tough immigration questions for several of my clients, and at the same time, he is very easy going and always cheerful so that every interaction with him is a pleasure.
