One Of The Smoothest Experiences We Ever Had “Sweta processed the H1B transfer for a key hire at our early stage startup. It was one of the smoothest experiences we ever had. Being a startup, we didn’t have a lot of in-house support, and it was doubly-critical that we get the transfer done without any hiccups. Sweta and her team made it very efficient for us to prep the necessary documentation. And they made sure we presented a strong case. The transfer came through in 2 weeks.” Krishna M., New York, NYM.
Won Against All Odds “This review is long overdue. Sweta Khandelwal is one of best attorneys for O-visa applications. We had contacted her for O-visa application of my friend who was on a different visa. His category of expertise was different from the traditional arts, this case was new to Sweta as well but she accepted this as a challenge and won our case against all odds. Throughout the process she was available and provided very sound advice. She was involved in all stages and guided us through the complicated process. She prepared a strong case and great petition and worked very hard towards our case. When our petition faced complications, she helped us through that too. And redid our entire application again and my friend was lucky to have got his application accepted. She is very ethical, professional, knowledgeable and very straight forward. I will highly recommend her.” San Francisco
Innate Ability To Connect On A Personal Level “We consulted Sweta for our immigration visa queries, especially my visa conversion to O/EB1 and my wife’s L visa status. One thing we found extremely comforting, was her innate ability to connect on personal level and show genuine concern for one’s needs. Her articulate responses and comprehensive feedback for multitude questions we had, is a strong testimonial of her law erudition. We will definitely be resorting to her expertise for our future visa requirements. Recommended!!” Anish N., San Mateo

She is also very responsive to email and phone calls and kept me inform throughout the process.” Laura Borel, Entrepreneur, San Francisco
Highest Level Of Professional Service “I engaged Sweta to help me apply for an O1 visa, and I could not be happier about the experience. Sweta clearly explained the various immigration options available to me, as well as the requirements for each option. She was able to think strategically, taking into account my needs as a startup owner. She guided me successfully through the O1 application process, whilst also considering backup options in case the application would not be successful. In doing so, she delivered priceless piece of mind. Sweta consistently delivered the highest levels of professional service, showed full knowledge of the immigration process, and quickly responded to any and all questions. In addition, she provided her services at a predictable, flat rate. I highly recommend Sweta’s services to anyone with immigration needs.” Pieter in San Francisco, CA, United States
Extremely Professional And Meticulous “I have been a client of Sweta for the past 4 to 5 months and I must say she has shown great skill and tenacity in getting my O1A visa application approved. O1A visas, which are famously known to be tough to get, require detailed study and documentation gathering regarding the beneficiary’s achievements and work in the field of his/her achievement (in my case, was open source software technology). Sweta was extremely professional and meticulous throughout the entire process and has certainly flexed her expertise to have the petition resolved successfully in our favor. After this success, I would certainly look forward to work with Sweta for all my other immigration needs and would definitely recommend her to more family/friends and people out there looking for similar help.
