Excellent Lawyer

I and my brother both hired Ms. Upadhyay to help us with family based petitions --me for my wife and my brother for his fiance to join us in the U.S. She worked with us threw the process. I had read about the whole process and was quite confused but she was patient and answered all my questions. Sh...e is a very caring attorney who really cares about getting it right and doing right by her clients. She was excellent with both of our cases and I would not think of any other Immigration lawyer other than her.

A lawyer that makes you smile

Kripa helped me with my employee's work immigration need. Her dedication and passion in helping her clients is outstanding. I have worked with good lawyers in the past, but Kripa is special. Not only is she knowledgeable as one should, she is responsible, down to earth and GENUINELY cares about y...our need. With Kripa, there is no surprises (except pleasant ones). I am very happy to have found you, Kripa. Thank you for being a positive force in your industry.

Kripa is a compassionate and learned attorney.

We went to Kripa with a messed up immigration case. She took the time to listen to us and recommended the best possible solution. She was prompt in her response and very approachable. I would highly recommend Kripa.

Excellent Lawyer!

I hired Kripa to help me file for H-1 and PERM cases for my employees. She met me at my office in the Bellevue area; gave me a very detailed picture of what to expect, including timelines and corresponding costs. She was always available for phone calls and in person meetings, even if it meant ent...ertaining a call from me on her personal number at 9:30 PM on more than one occassion! She is a truly superb lawyer who cares very deeply about the clients she works with, and seems to leave no stone unturned in ensuring the desired results. She was very professional; detailed and thorough in her work product and such a pleasure to work with, we have decided to have her as our go-to attorney for all Immigration issues.

Excellent Lawyer

I heard about Kripa from some people who knew her. I hired her to help me with a Political Asylum application. She explained the whole thing to me; told me what I needed; filed the application and kept me informed all the time. She was very easy to connect with - she took calls whenever I called an...d if she was not there, she would call me back. Before my interview at USCIS, we met in her office and she prepared me for the interview - she acted like the officer to see if I coudl answer all the questions properly and it was helpful becuase I was not scared at the time of the interview. I won my case, but more than that, I won freedom and ability to sleep at night without wondering I will die the next day....Thank you Kripa!...you are wonderful!
