All about money

Plz DO NOT HIRE HIM IF you think your case is complicated or important for time being. Vivek malik never worked on my case at all. his assistant did lots silly mistakes in filling my form which delayed my case. I had very hard time reaching him after i hired him. I am writting this for those people w...hom are having difficulties in their immigration cases plz hire someone better whom you can trust.

Dear Mr. Patel, I am sorry to learn that you have had a bad experience. However, if my memory serves me correctly, I do not have an unhappy Patel (Last Name) client. Either you never retained us or you are hiding behind a fake name because if you retained us and we did anything wrong to you or in your case, you should not shy away from talking about it, what was done wrong or mentioning your complete name. I am willing to discuss with you, if you in fact retained us as your attorneys and sort out any misunderstanding or grievance. Please feel free to call us. Thank you.

Helped me on OPT

I would like to thank Vivek Malik for helping me to solve the OPT related issues I had. He has good understanding in do's and don't in filing the OPT application(i-765 form). I would definitely recommend Attorney Vivek for any immigration issues related to OPT.

My Experience as a Client of Mr. Malik

On April 8, 2017, my husband and I received a letter from USCIS stating that his application for Adjustment of Status had been denied. After 2 years of going through medicals, paying so much out of pocket, and interviews, we were not sure what to do. Since we live in a small town, we decided to go to... St. Louis one day and find a lawyer. We talked with 3 lawyers that day, one being Mr. Malik. After talking with all of them, we chose Mr. Malik because not only was he concerned with the legal aspect of our potential case, he was also concerned with our psychological and emotional well being. In addition, he was one of the most affordable attorneys in the area. After making the decision and putting down a payment, Mr. Malik and his staff began working immediately. Mr. Malik found out that my husband was denied because of misrepresentation; however, the problem we had was that we did not know what the misrepresentation was. So Mr. Malik was able to get in contact with many people and eventually he retrieved the original application for my husband's Visa. All in all, Mr. Malik and his staff helped us complete and submit our I-601 for misrepresentation, I-485 for Adjustment of Status, and I-765 for Employment Authorization in June 2017 (it took us a while to get everything together with work and school). Although it took some time because of the USCIS office, I am happy to say that my husband has received his Green card as of April 9, 2019. There were times I called the office crying and found myself ready to give up, but if it were not for Mr. Malik and his staff, we would not have made it this far. One thing I would like to say about the interview process is that before we went in, I can still remember Mr. Malik joking with us so that we could loosen up; and as we spoke, I was able to get to know him as a person. If you are looking for an attorney that really cares about you, has an incredible and helpful staff, is affordable, and is really concerned about your overall well-being, then Mr. Vivek Malik is the right person.

Immigration had me in removal proceedings due to several DWI's. Mr. Malik and his associate communicated very well with me throughout the entire process. He is also very professional, honest and I believed he really cared about my case. I would highly recommend him.

Excellent attorney and helpful staff

I can gladly recommend Mr. Malik and his office for competent advice and smooth processing of immigration matters. He is an experienced, smart and friendly attorney. He makes you comfortable throughout the process and achieves what he promises. He explains the process in detail during the initial con...sultation and help you understand the timelines. Thank you, Mr. Malik. I really appreciate your able assistance.
