I ran into a rather peculiar/out of the ordinary case for my visa and I spoke to nearly ten lawyers before I found Ms. Gupta. All they had to say was - it's going to be an indefinite wait.
I found Ms Gupta on Avvo and decided to speak to her because of her all round 5 star reviews, her high success rate, as well as the fact that I liked her advice on a number of cases posted on Avvo. A far as our case was concerned, Ms. Gupta was the only person who knew HOW to take action on the matter, or even actually tell us that there was actually something we could do.
...She was very thorough and supportive of my situation from our very first consultation. Her years of experience definitely shines through right as you speak to her. But working with her, I realized that it's not only a matter of experience - she herself is very passionate about the cases she takes on, and is unequivocally an exceptional attorney who works very diligently, and has an unparalleled fund of knowledge.
Through the entire process, despite her busy schedule, she took the time out to reply to my e-mails in detail as well as speak to me over phone calls. She saw me right through to the end of my case, and even talked me through my anxiety for the interview. With the support of her documents and her advice, I received my visa without any issues.
I very highly recommend working with Ms. Gupta. She is a phenomenal attorney and a fantastic person. And once again, there is a really really good reason why she is rated 5 stars, and she has such a high success rate.
After the hospital mismanaged the extension filing of our B-visas and failed to notify us, we learned that our status was nearly expired. When we tried to file a motion, it was denied because the deadline had passed. I feared that I would have to return home with my son, and the risk of infection was high. We spoke to several attorneys, but none thought our visa issue could be resolved, and they showed very little sensitivity to our personal situation.
It was completely different with Anu. When I shared our story, I could see tears forming in her eyes. She cared. She was very professional in explaining what needed to be done, and I was impressed immediately. But I was most surprised by her conviction to do the right thing so my son and family could stay in the U.S. for his treatment. And she did what no one else said could be done: She resubmitted our Motion to Reopen, it was accepted and our visas were extended within two months.
When I talked with Anu, I felt like I was talking to my sister – someone who really cared about what I was going through. She has a place in our hearts forever.
Immigration Desk helped me get back in status after a problem with my J-1 visa. Attorney Anu Gupta is a very knowledgeable, honest, helpful, approachable and supportive immigration lawyer. She can confidently manage complex immigration issues like what I had.
...I came to the United States on a J1 visa (exchange visitor) but my medical license was under review and because of this I had to stop working. I needed to be in the US to clear up the issue with my license, but this apparently requires some time to process.
I had my H-1B work visa changed to a tourist visa (B-2 visa) but I needed more time to resolve my licensing issues. I then applied for a student visa- this idea is per suggestion of a relative.
My previous immigration lawyer was not helpful at all in the change of status process. She did not even discuss options for me to lengthen my stay in the US. All she cared about was to charge me for every single minute that I spend talking to her in person or on the phone but nothing relevant was discussed. Then I spoke with another immigration lawyer who basically said that there is no way that the USCIS was going to approve my change of status to student visa.
I was losing hope and was on the verge of giving up. I was thinking of just going back to my home country to avoid the stress of dealing with the immigration issues. But then I found Attorney Anu Gupta. It may sound cliché but after talking to her I literally found a light at the end of the tunnel.
She was very optimistic about my case. She answered all of my questions and she was very open to my suggestions. We explored all other options and chose the best route. She was the one who even took care of the RFE (request for evidence) for my tourist visa.
Her attention to detail is highly commendable. She made sure that no loose ends were hanging on my case. The moment she reviewed my case, she knew exactly what to do. She had a different game plan for me. I was initially dubious with her recommendations and she acknowledged my feelings but she replied “You have to trust me on this. This is what we should do. I know exactly what the USCIS wants to approve your case”.
So I adhered with her strategy and recommendation and low and behold, after a few months of waiting, my student visa got approved.
I am currently working on getting my license back and I am looking forward to working with Attorney Gupta again to process my work visa.
