"Best Immigration Lawyer in NYC / NJ"

"I don't understand visa matters very well. My immigration issue was giving me a lot of stress. I approached a number of lawyers, however all came across as money minting attorneys. Finally a friend recommended immigration lawyer Vidya Parwani in NYC. Vidya came across as a well-wisher from the very first visa consultation. She explained me the complete immigration process in details. She handled my immigration matter with extreme efficiency and accuracy. At every level she gave me the extra time to explain the immigration paperwork and the different possibilities and outcomes of my decisions. I got my visa approval without any complication. From my personal experience I would say Vidya is the best immigration lawyer I have come across in the New York / New Jersey area. Good Luck Vidya and thanks for your advise." - K. Kapoor

"Great Job!!"

"I got my H1-B visa transfered through immigration attorney Vidya Parwani in NYC. Not only did she do what was necessary, but she also answered all my questions and concerns, gave useful tips and kept me in the loop with whatever was happening with my case. She made sure my employer was comfortable with the process too. Vidya is a super-professional lawyer and knows her job pretty well. In the time when people are hearing scary stories about H-1B transfers, she made sure that she didn't miss out on anything that might hinder my case. I got my H-1B approval in mere 2 days. Thanks Vidya for helping me out & good luck! " - G.Sarvaiya.

"Great Immigration Lawyer"

"For a case as complex as mine, I could not have been dealing with a better immigration attorney in the New York / New Jersey area than Vidya Parwani. Very rarely do you get lawyers nowadays, who are available themselves rather than passing you off to paralegals. Parwani was extremely prompt and professional in getting back to me and was even available to me on off hours and weekends in critical times." - N. Gupta

"Thanks"

"Accuracy and timeliness are probably the 2 most important ingredients when dealing with US Visas, Green Cards and other immigration matters. I found in my own experience that as an expert immigration attorney Vidya possesses both of these critical skills and delivers with the right touch of personableness. She's one lawyer who will hold your hand till the job gets done. I would highly recommend her." - T. Thadani
