About

I am a NYC-based immigration lawyer focusing on immigration appeals and motions to the court and the Board of Immigration Appeals, deportation defense (criminal and non-criminal), federal court litigation, family-based immigration, asylum, naturalization, and consular processing.I do NOT handle ANY employment-based immigration, student visa matters, or tourist visa matters. I provide my legal services at affordable and competitive rates. My goal is to help my clients stay in the United States with their families. Navingating the immigration system has become very complex over the years and choosing an attorney whose focus is your best interest is the most important decision you can make about your case.  My clients choose me because of the attention I provide to each and every case...at my firm, every client is the most important client I have.

Ruchi has been absolutely phenomenal. During the process of my adjustment of status, I had moved between multiple states. Throughout the process, Ruchi was very communicative and extremely responsive. She is meticulous, thorough, and patient. Her meticulousness if reflected in the fact that she helped me understand what each document I was submitting was actually for and how it added strength to my application. I loved how Ruchi had a dedicated dropbox for our application and the ease it created for adding and removing documents. My wife and I are very lucky to have worked with Ruchi and highly recommend her and her law firm for family-based immigration. Thank you so much, Ruchi!

I approached Ruchi for a complicated case. At the time of filing to remove conditions on my green card ( based on marriage ), my marriage had irrecoverably broken down. You don’t think much about this when filing because after all, it was no a fide. I also initially filed without a lawyer and as fate would have it — USCIS stated that there were gaps in the marriage. I was referred to Ruchi and upon going through the case, I wished that I’d contacted her when I first filed the petition. 2 years after filing the petition, the ROC request was rejected. I also never got the rejection until I made a physical appearance at the USCIS offices. This is the point that after interviewing several attorneys, I engaged Ruchi. There’s an ease with which she works, confident in her knowledge but also forthright about what can happen. Ruchi worked with me to re-file my case and then waited for my divorce to finalize and filed again based on a waiver. Note: these are long stretches of time ( 3-4 years after the initial ROC filing ) When the whole package was submitted in its entirety, Ruchi encouraged me to be patient and updated me promptly of any changes or sometimes, what she was seeing happening ( and in 2020, what was not happening ). It was in 2021 that I finally got another interview and it marked 3 years since I engaged Ruchi. Even with the expanse of time gone, she was meticulous in preparing me for the interview and when the interview came, I realized that all her paperwork - from the affidavit to the evidence - arranged so carefully made sense and presented a favorable case to the adjudicator. I could go on and on but this is a brief testament on how good Ruchi is. I now have my green card and I don’t think I could have managed this process and the mental load it comes with without her professional help, grace and understanding. I thank her and can’t recommend her enough.

I worked with a lot of lawyers in the past and I had bad experiences and they could not help me, some even telling me I will not get my green card through vawa I had no case. I met with attorney Ruchi Thaker in January 2020 after finding her on the internet. When I explained my situation to her she said you do have a case but we had to get working on it right away because of the short timeline. Ruchi worked hard to get my RFE submitted in time and she kept me updated with everything, she’s very professional she answers every question she is very straight forward, i remember emailing her 10:00 at night and she answered right away. I must say she’s the best deal I have no regrets, if I had to I will choose her again and again. Thank you for your services.

I chose Ruchi based on some google searches and proximity to my office - what a great selection! She prepared my naturalization paperwork in the midst of the pandemic, answered my many questions and helped keep me calm and patient as I awaited to hear back from USCIS and prepared me very thoroughly for the interview. I would highly recommend her for immigration work - she's very professional, very knowledgeable, and thorough - the best!

Ruchi Thaker has been my lawyer now for almost a decade! she has been with me from the very beginning when I received my removal proceedings. She helped me win my removal proceedings case in 2016 and has today(January 28, 2021) helped me win approval for my n400 application which has finally realized my dream of being a citizen of this great nation I call my own. Ruchi is immaculate! she does not work a day in her life because she enjoys what she does and that is helping so many realize their immigration dreams in this country I can only hope she continues to be blessed with this love of her craft. She will fight for your rights and make sure that you are being treated fairly. Ruchi will not leave a stone unturned, she is a master in immigration law and knows all the ins and out. Please if you read this review know it comes from the heart and I whole heartedly recommend Ruchi for all immigration matters! You will never be disappointed by Ruchi and she will always be at the ready for you. Humbly, Ozony Elsevif

I rarely give a review to a person or service over the internet, however, Ruchi Thaker is a unique one that I can’t even find enough words to praise her. I know Ruchi for 3 years and she has been my attorney during this period for my N400 Naturalization and I90 Replacement of Green Card applications. Just to describe her in one sentence, she is Amazing and I STRONGLY recommend her for any type of immigration services. I have consulted with many attorneys before filing my applications, and to be honest many of them just care about money and they have no idea of what they are talking about. However, Ruchi is absolutely different. She will analyze your case in the first session and will truthfully tell you what your chances are and whether your case is go or no go. If there is a minimal chance of success, she will make it happen. Her subject matter expertise and experience were beyond my expectations. Moreover, she is very accessible, supportive, and she will be there whenever you need her. If you are reading this review and looking for an immigration attorney to help you with your case, I would suggest that you stop and call Ruchi now. At the end, Ruchi, I want to say thank you for being such an amazing and supportive person. With your help, I am now a proud American.

I found Ruchi Thaker on a google search for immigration attorneys in June 2019. The reviews on her law firm site is what made me call her. She was very pleasant, and knowledgeable when I spoke to her on the phone, and even more so when we met in person. Due to 2 past arrests I was turned down for citizenship twice and was scared to even try again. After meeting with Ruchi she explained every detail to me of how my case could go and for the first time in years I felt hopeful. I knew I was connected with the right person. We sent in my paperwork in Aug 2019. By Nov 2019 I had my interview. The officer did not make a decision on my case at the time due to my prior arrests and said it was doubtful that my case would be approved. In July 2020 I received notification that my case was approved for citizenship!! I would recommend Ruchi Thaker if you are looking for a knowledgeable, caring, trustworthy lawyer. One who will go to bat for you. She is with you from day one until the end. You are in good hands with her helping you-that is for certain!
