Attorney Pooja was very helpful since the time she took up this matter until the final resolutions. She did what the previous lawyer couldn't do. Pooja was very informative and communicated with us on every step of the way.

I like to thank Pooja Bhagat for being so wonderful and dedicated to her job.She has been extremely responsive by email and phone, responding immediately every time. Her answers to my questions are always clear, complete, and demonstrate a sophisticated knowledge of the case and the intricacies involved. She is very helpful and patient and always finds an answer for my questions or concerns. She is the best and Seriously, i can't think of what she could do better i am very lucky to have her as my lawyer.

It was only through Pooja's strong understanding of the EB1a requirements that I was able to successfully get my petition approved under this category in the 1st attempt itself -without any RFEs. Mine was a rather unusual case, as unlike most EB1a applicants, I don't have a PhD or work in the STEM field (I'm an International Development specialist). But Pooja helped me put together a winning case by providing comprehensive guidance, advice, and feedback on each and every aspect of my application. I thoroughly recommend her immigration services.

During my GC application couple of years ago, I took the attorney services of Pooja's mother Nimmo Bhagat who is also an attorney! It was a breeze and she advised me perfectly (her knowledge and grasp of immigration law is immense) and I got my GC in 3 months! Recently it was time for me to file my removal of conditions and since Nimmo had gone on to become a judge, I decided to take the services of Pooja. Needless to say, she has the same efficiency as Nimmo, particular about details and the best thing, very approachable and helpful unlike other attorneys with whom it is so tough to even get time to talk on the phone inspite of hiring them! I would strongly and sincerely recommend Pooja Bhagat's services!

I have struggled to find a lawyer who's trustworthy and responsive. Pooja was one of the only ones who had very good rates and was very straight forward and upfront about all the issues I had. It was clear that she was passionate about her career and always shows a lot of interest in her clients. I have told all my friends and family about her and recommend her to anyone looking for any immigration help. My case took a long time but she was there every step of the way at any time to help with any questions or problems I had. She successfully was able to help in what I needed to do and I know she will help anyone who needs help. Best immigration lawyer in Virginia. I contacted 5-6 lawyers and I hired one who couldn't help me but Pooja was able to help me and had a very affordable rate.

I first met Pooja when I had issues with getting a date for my citizenship swearing in. My lawyer then couldnt help, so we hired Attorney Pooja to look into it for us and within a few days i got my oath ceremony date. So I rehired Pooja for another case.I love that I could always reach her on phone, and she was always willing to help and even go the extra mile to make sure that my case was taken care of. Pooja is reliable and trustworthy. If you need a lawyer who will give you the maximum and undivided attention, Pooja is one of the best.
