Bagia and Associates was our second attempt at securing a green card for my husband. The first…read morelawyer we used, who was recommended to us and had over 30 years experience so we thought we were in good hands, had failed us. We were told we had a hard case by our first lawyer and that most likely we would not be approved the first time and would have to hope to get approved when USCIS would ask for more information. Well when that happened and USCIS requested more information to support our case, our first lawyer gave us no guidance. He really didnt know what other information we could give them that would win our case. I was on my own to try to come up with more material. Well considering I am not an immigration lawyer, I really did not know what to give them but I tried the best that I could, our lawyer telling us that what we had was "ok" but not able to give us more guidance of what would be better. Unfortunately, our waiver was denied (not really that surprising). My husband and I were unsure whether we should try again with this lawyer, another lawyer, or just give up. Our lawyer wanted us to try again with him.We did not feel good about using this lawyer, but wanted to find out if anyone could do better, or is our case really too difficult to win? I had phone consultations with two other lawyers who told me yes our case was difficult and our lawyer did everything he could and they could not do better. This was unsettling. A friend of my husband's told us about Jay Bagia, saying he was the best and had won their case easily and the process required very little work on their part, everything was handled. So we decided to get a consultation from Jay. Our consultation was over an hour long, very detailed and by far longer than our previous lawyer or the two phone consultations I had with other lawyers. That alone sold me. He assured us of their success rate of 98%, our previous lawyer's success rate was 90%. The entire team at Bagia handled our case so differently than our previous attorney. There was alot less work that we had to do on our part. We were told that our case again is more difficult than most, but not impossible, they were confident they would get our waiver approved. Not only was our waiver approved, but it was approved on the basis of what we originally submitted to USCIS. They did not ask us for ANY additional information. Not only were my husband and myself shocked that we were not requested to submit more information, but so was the law team! Totally amazing! We first met with Jay in Sept 2015. Our waiver application was submitted at the end of January 2016, and my husband came back over the border with his Visa on Dec 5th! Thank you so much to Jay, Kristen, and Chris for your EXCELLENT work and we will be referring anyone we can to you! I would not ever trust any other immigration firm other than Bagia and Associates!

David is the immigration attorney equivalent of an old-school M.D. who made house calls -- he…read more*personally* steers his clients through each step of a complex (and ever-changing) government bureaucracy with expert precision (David filed our application in late April 2025 and my husband received his 10-year permanent residency card in early August 2025). His deep (almost innate) knowledge of the INA and years of experience with USCIS have made him a pro at identifying potential red flags -- and addressing issues before they had a chance to derail our application. To anyone looking for an NYC immigration lawyer, David is simply the best and we are grateful every day that a friend recommended him to us. Prior to David, we "interviewed" multiple immigration law firms. As soon as the video call with the firm's star attorney ended, it was clear that our case would be handed off to firm's assistants and paralegals (for an astronomical price). With David, we had the opposite experience -- he was personally involved from day one and guided us through each step himself. When my husband is eligible to become an American citizen in 2028, David will be our first -- and only -- call.

David was excellent to work with on my immigration case. He's incredibly responsive and always…read morereplied quickly whenever I had a question, which shows that he cares about each of his clients. At times when things I read online made me concerned about my situation, he took the time to explain everything clearly and reassured me. His knowledge of immigration law is outstanding. I worked with David from 2023 until my case was approved in 2026, he was always patient, never rushed me, and never gave any attitude. He remained professional and supportive throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable immigration attorney.

Admittedly, I have known Christopher for 20 years. Surprisingly, because of a work staffing issue,…read moreI needed the help of an immigration lawyer and was fortunate enough to have him in my Rolodex. I've asked him legal questions before so I already knew he'd be able to give me some really good advice, but the service he was able to provide me and an employee was amazing. And the cost was minimal compared to other offices I've looked up in the area. Before asking him for a consult regarding our concern, I actually asked around to see what he's been doing and from what I'm told he's been a great service to his community. If you're in search of an immigration lawyer I highly recommend him.
