About Abhinav
Biography
I know the immigration system from both sides of the table because I’ve lived it. I came to the U.S. as an immigrant, navigated the legal maze myself, and went on to earn my LL.M. from Washington University in St. Louis. Today, I lead Protego Law Group, LLP, a law firm built by immigrants, for immigrants. Our firm is dedicated to delivering honest, strategic, and human-centered immigration counsel.
Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of individuals, families, startups, and professionals achieve life-changing immigration outcomes. From complex employment-based green card cases (EB-1A, NIW, PERM) to federal court litigation and humanitarian relief, I bring not just legal knowledge but personal insight, urgency, and fierce advocacy.
What sets my work apart is not just legal precision, but deep empathy and relentless follow-through. I believe immigrants deserve more than forms and filings. They deserve clarity, credibility, and a partner who treats their future like his own.

Good service
Was able to get approval with help from this law service. It’s a very hard and confusing process that I wouldn’t have been able to do alone. They have worked hard to finish everything for me and even Council me during the process.

US H1B visa
Abhinav was my H1B immigration lawyer. I received 221g form from US embassy requesting for additional documents. Abhinav helped me in guiding and providing the details and documents spontaneously.Thus, the post processing was much faster with immediate response to the 2-3 rounds of queries by embassy...
