I hired Varsha to work my residency case from beginning to end and she did an incredible job. She was very timely and professional. If I had any questions, I could always reach her via email or phone calls at any time. She was definitely up to date with relevant information I needed. She was also very kind, thoughtful, and patient with me. I would certainly recommend her to anyone.

I was referred to Me. Varsha by a friend and never regretted the decision to engage her for my asylum case. Right from the onset, she was very helpful. She guided me in detail with a lot of patience and understanding. She made me feel like I was her only client. She was very prompt to respond to any inquiry and request. She is very knowledgeable and organized. Even in the covid 19 pandemic, she was always available to provide valuable assistance. Her efforts greatly contributed to our asylum approval. My family and I can peacefully begin a new chapter in life without fear. We are forever grateful to Varsha and the entire Alight Legal Pllc team for their professionalism. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for legal assistance. You will definitely not regret.

If you are serious about your immigration case and looking for dependable immigration lawyer, then you should have Varsha M Kayi. She looks and reviews your case seriously and provides quality service. I am very happy to have her as a lawyer and she helped me a lot to close my case successfully. I strongly recommend her and her firm for everybody who looks for reliable and committed immigration lawyer.

My parents and I hired Varsha and we are very happy we worked with her. Their case were tough especially my Dads. My Mom got her Greencard almost two years ago leaving my Dads. His case was extremely tough! I mean very complicated. My Dad even decided to go back to my country for good but Varsha ,my Lawyer made it possible. Amazingly he got his greencard last week and we are still celebrating over it because it was a shock to us. If my parents and I could rate Varsha 100 or 1000 stars we would she deserved it. What I really like about her is her patience and her time. She will quickly respond to any email you send to her and will speak with you in a very nice and polite way. Again Varsha my Lawyer is so honest that she refunded me back my money after my Dads Greencard was approved which amazes me because upon all the struggles she went through with his case , she still didn’t keep the money but send it back. If anyone out there is looking for immigration lawyer please take her , she is the best!! It’s so sad she left DC to California so people in CA please hold onto her well else will come and get her back and hey she is very hot!!!

Varsha is a brilliant immigration lawyer who was advised by my doctor. I was particularly impressed by her professionalism and sense of duty. I finished my case earlier than expected thanks to her meticulous and professional work. I will give full advise to anyone seeking an immigration lawyer.
