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.
