After meeting with 6 other attorneys in regards to my adjustment of status case and not feeling confident about their recommendations a friend told me about Monika Sud-Devaraj. I called to schedule an appointment and met with Monika. After receiving answers to all of my questions I knew she was the attorney I needed for my complicated case. Monika was quick to tell me what the possible outcomes could be. Best case scenario I would receive my green card. Worst-case scenario I'd be denied, she would appeal and would get me my green card. Sure enough, things weren't easy. After an intent to deny Monika used all of her knowledge and filed a motion for my case to be reconsidered and sure enough, I have my green card in hand. I would recommend Monika to anybody looking for an immigration attorney. Her confidence and knowledge helped me get through the long process. She would be in constant communication updating us on the process and reassuring my family and I that we would be ok. Her staff always provided excellent service and were very diligent on providing answers to all of my questions.
Monika and her team provided excellent legal service. They are all very knowledgeable and friendly. They always made themselves available to answer all my questions. She is very professional. I would definitely recommend her services. She gets the job done! I am very grateful to her and her staff for the excellent service provided.
I had a unique immigration status, when we we referred to Monika. Despite the lengthy process of my case, and unique nature of the case, Monika was confident through out the process and had a clear vision of the the anticipated end results - as well as alternative options if initial outcomes were not met. She clearly knows her field well, has experience, and appropriate connections throughout the field. I definitely recommend her for others in need of immigration assistance.
I contacted Monika Sud-Devaraj in the year 2009 when I needed to start my VISA transfer process from J1 to H1B. Monika was very exhaustive and guided my employer in correct and legal way to go about documentation. There were times when my employer lost patience as Monika was very persistent on following the right way (which was detailed, authentic, legal, and delayed way) and not to do anything in haste. I got my H1B with ease. There after she started the process of H1B extension and Green Card process. Going by my resume and experience, it was suggested that I should file for Green Card under two different categories (EB1 and EB3), since my case had a strong probability of approval under EB1 as well. I went ahead and decided to apply in both the categories. Fortunately, I was approved in both categories and before I could digest this news; I had Green Card in my hand. My H1B extension is still valid till October 2017, but my family and I already have Green Card in my hand. Thanks to Monika and her competent team (Marina Torres and Marshall G. Whitehead) for suggesting, assisting, and processing all my paper work in getting me Green Card well in time. I STRONGLY recommend Monika Sud-Devaraj. She is meticulous, very competent, reviews every document carefully, prepares each case strategically, and is always available (especially via email) to ease the stress.
Monika and Marshall are excellent lawyers, they know their work. Thanks to them we got our visa!

Since that time, I have confidently referred many of my own business clients to Monika for any immigration issues that arise.
