✅ Accurate profile (2 sources)
I am an international student from Nigeria and studied in Minnesota. I had initially filed an OPT STEM application with a wrongly dated check. USCIS rejected it because of my error and requested a date-corrected check to be sent along with my application. The problem was, at this time, my OPT card has expired by 2 weeks! My resubmitted application was eventually denied because it was submitted late. This was when I approached Jay Terkiana to help me file a Motion to Reopen (MTR), much against the advice of my DSOs and several attorneys who considered an MTR to be futile in most cases. One of my DSOs specifically said that the only successful MTR he has seen was due to USCIS error and not error from applicants like in my case. I spoke to Jay and discussed my case. He was nice to talk to and explained to me all the issues involved and how to handle them. I felt confident that he could handle my case. He filed a motion to reopen, with a very persuasive brief that I really liked. I think that is what did the trick. USCIS approved my OPT application and ordered the card for production, despite my late filing or not having an active I-20. I cannot be any happier. I highly recommend Jay Terkiana!
I am from Italy and have a Bachelor and Masters Degree in Business Management from Milan. Mr. Terkiana filed my H-1B for the position of Market Analyst / Business Development Specialist under the H-1B quota. The outcome of this petition was going to determine if I could continue to stay in the US. Therefore it was very important for me as a denial would have severely jeopardized my stay in US. I have learnt through my acquaintance that several times H-1B candidates are selected under H-1B lottery, but their cases are later denied because they fail to meet the technical requirements. From what I understand, H-1Bs for certain positions, specially Market Analyst / Business Development Specialist, can be very challenging because USCIS does not consider them to be H-1B level positions. Mr. Terkiana gave me great deal of confidence and guided me through the process and complexities involved. Even before starting the case, he knew about the technical challenges involved, and explained and guided me accordingly. Once the petition was filed, USCIS never questioned the position qualifications and approved the case. In my opinion a knowledgeable attorney with technical expertise can make all the difference and avoid all the hassles and potential problems. Mr. Terkiana is a very hard working and knowledgeable attorney. He got my case approved and I am now going for my visa stamping in Milan. I would absolutely recommend him for any immigration matter.
I have worked with immigration lawyers in the US for well over a decade and I can claim that Jay is in fact among best. Performing an H-1B application to be the first Sales hire for a startup is a particular challenge that requires very careful positioning with regards to engineering knowhow and specialty skills. Jay work was prompt and reliable; everything was done on time where the LCA was approved in 5 to 7 days, and during the wait the petition was prepared and was ready to be filed. He was always available for questions from both myself and my employer and reassured me with regards to the potential complications that could potentially arise from my case. I would recommend Jay to anyone that must deal with US Immigration, be it for an H-1B or something more elaborate.
I had the pleasure to work with Jagbir when assisted me in transferring my H1B visa to a new company. Jagbir was very detail oriented and knowledgeable about every aspect of my case and procedures. He is very picky in every detail and he makes sure that the quality of the work before being submitted was bullet proof. I'd recommend him to any of my colleagues or friends who need a trustworthy and efficient immigration attorney.
Jagbir did an outstanding job! He is a very dedicated attorney that can structure complex cases with ease, yet not details are left to chance. He's highly competent and friendly, and I would recommend him to anyone for immigration-related legal cases. Thanks Jagbir for all your help and personal consultation time to time
I would strongly recommend Jagbir for the following reasons : 1. Completes the task on time - I experienced this when he was working on my case. Though he got some unexpected work on some other case he completed working on my case by staying late hours 2. Listens with patience - I know my case was very complicated and all through the case he showed enormous patience to understand the case and filed to USCIS in such a way that finally I won the case and got my reinstatement. 3. Availability - He is always available for us to discuss anything about our case & promptly gets back to us just incase if we leave any VM or email 4. Suggestions - If we request he guides us by giving suggestions on a friendly basis even which are not particular to the case he is working for us 5. Stands by his words - What else we can expect from a person

I am Managing Immigration Attorney at Terkiana, Inc., a law firm based in Silicon Valley, California, primarily focusing on Employment, Family, Business, Investment, and Complex Immigration matters. I have successfully represented several individual & corporate clients in some of the most difficult and challenging immigration cases across nation. I never forget that I am an immigrant, who came to the United States as an F-1 student and had to navigate the entire immigration process myself when all the odds were stacked against me. Therefore, for me practicing immigration law is not just a business. It's personal.
I have assisted thousands of clients (including individuals, start-ups, small businesses and large corporations) in successfully petitioning for employment-based immigration cases, specially H-1B, L-1A, L-1B, EB-1A, EB-1B, EB-1C, National Interest Waivers (NIW), O-1, EB-2/EB-3 PERM, EB-5, TN, E-2, Adjustment of Status/Green Cards. I have assisted clients in some of the most challenging immigration cases, where they were facing very complex issues like unlawful presence, out of status, deportation, inadmissibility, 3/10-year bar, criminal convictions with severe immigration consequences. In addition to immigrant & non-immigrant visas, my experience also includes answering Request for Evidence (RFE), assistance with 601 hardship & inadmissibility waivers, filing Motion to Reopen (MTR) or Appeal against the denials, assistance during Department of Labor/USCIS Site Visits, I-9 Compliance, Reinstatement of Status, LGBT Immigration Cases, U-Visas, VAWA, R-1, handling Department of Labor (DOL) and Immigration Audits, and assisting in lawsuits arising from benching/back-wages claims.
I have worked in several reputable immigration law firms across nation. Prior to practicing immigration law in San Francisco Bay Area, California, I was Senior Counsel in Manhattan, New York, where I assisted EB-1, O-1, H-1, E-2 and other clients working on prestigious assignments for recognized brands like Dior, Prada, Gucci, Armani, Louis Vuitton, Lanvin, Marc Jacobs, Elite, GQ, Apple, Facebook, Google, Amazon, eBay, PayPal, Intel, Microsoft, and many more. Over the years I have developed a strong expertise in successfully handling some of the most challenging immigration cases, conducting compliance consultations, defending government audits and related litigation.
We are not a Visa Mill or a corporate law firm chasing numbers/revenue. I never hide behind a team of non-lawyers or support staff. I am involved with every individual case and my clients can reach me on my cell phone via call, text or an email. After having personally gone through many of these critical processes & experiences myself, spending many years representing individual & corporate clients, and successfully handling thousands of immigration cases; I am confident that if you entrust me with the responsibility to handle your immigration case, I will deliver the best.
