I have leveraged Jay and his team's help for a family based green card. Right from the first meeting, I felt at ease and confident that they knew the immigration process well. The document processing and package creation/filing was handled by Lakshmi who is a pleasure to work with - detail oriented, responsive, courteous and efficient. Overall, I am very happy for the service I received from Jay and team and would highly recommend them for immigration matters.

Jay is a fantastic immigration attorney. The first thing you will notice when you talk to him at your consultation appointment is that he is very honest and straightforward about how your case. There are no false promises but realistic creative suggestions that can help you achieve the outcome you are looking to get. My case for removing conditions on my Green card was particularly tricky as my marriage was about to end. Jay reviewed the nuances of my case very carefully. He spent the time to come up with right strategy to best represent me. It was because of his due diligence that I got my conditions removed from my green card with minimal possible friction with the USCIS. If you have challenging immigration situations he is the person you want to go to.

Jay and Lakshmi of Terkiana, Inc. were absolutely outstanding! They helped us prepare our green card application in a thorough manner, leaving no room for denial. Jay was very conversant with prevailing immigration laws in this regard, and specific situations to avoid prior to approval. We received the green card in a record 4 months! In our circumstances, a quick turnaround was imperative. We highly recommend Terkiana, Inc. for your immigration needs.

Mr. Terkiana is a very well informed immigration lawyer. He helped me secure my permanent residency without a glitch. He is the best immigration lawyer in town. I’ll definitely be returning to him when I apply for my citizenship.

Very professional lawyer for immigration!

Mr. jay has provided me his tremendous services for H1B petition and RFE with which i got my Visa approved. He gave thorough response for RFE which left no room for denial. His team works in really professional manner. He was always in reach to solve the case queries.

Jay Helped my file my wife's I-485.
My wife was in Nepal. I was about to file my I-485. It was very confusing situation. I have read lots of complications in consular processing. I was literally confused about the steps. I took help from Jay in this situation. He was very pro-active in each steps.We both got our case approved together. I would definitely suggest to go with Jay for the immigration related things like mine.

I would like to share a good review here, Jay he is one of the best immigration attorney that i have concern. he knows immigration process very well and he is very good in answer the RFE. My case was really smooth bcz of him but one of my friend he got RFE and he got quickest response from immigration due to his skills and i really appreciate the help he did in my case.
Thank You.

Last year my company's attorney screwed up my PERM application, and it got denied. My 6 years of H1B visa would expire soon, it seemed like I couldn't extend it since I didn't have an approved I-140 before. The company's attorney suggested me to work outside of US for a full year before applying for another H1B to come back. Luckily I found Jay! He is a well knowledgeable and experienced immigration lawyer, very easy to work with, friendly and careful. Jay helped me re-file my PERM, then H1B extension, my wife H4/EAD, and my I-140 this year. They all got approved without any problem. He is definitely the BEST immigration attorneys in the Bay Area!

I highly recommended Jay to anyone who has immigration issues. All you need to do is to pick up your phone and call Jay, tell him your situation, and he will find a way to fix your immigration problem.

Jay is a very good immigration lawyer! Jay helped me on my H1b case approval. He explained the process thoroughly, and responded to my questions timely and clearly, Very professional and mindful! I major in marketing and work for a law firm. I thought it will be a difficult case but Jay got the approval without RFE from Immigration Department. I appreciated his professionalism and patience. Highly recommend!

Jay has helped me on numerous occations, to get my H-1B, H-1B Extension, and then also PERM.

I work for a small firm (information not disclosed due to confidentiality) and finally got my very challenging H-1B approved because of Jay!!! I cannot be more happier about outcome of my case and feel that I have won a battle with US Immigration. USCIS literally dragged me into very deep waters and I navigated and came out just fine. I hope these insights into my case will help readers facing the similar difficult situation. I thought that H-1B were an easy task and everyone who is getting paid by the US employer and specially if someone has a US degree could be easily approved.

USCIS initially issued an RFE questioning Specialty Occupation. Jay prepared a very thorough response and answered the RFE. He involved a fiance professor from NYU Stern School of Business and established that a degree in fiance is the way to go for the position. To my surprise, USCIS issued a "Notice of Intent to Deny" stating that Technical Writer job title is reserved only for engineers for writing technical manuals. And not applicable to people writing business plans to explain investments. This is when i started to realize that H-1B is indeed a serious business and I am in trouble. This was exactly what Jay predicted and I did not pay much attention to. Amazing thing is that because of his foresight WE WERE READY and had already done our homework even before filing. Jay had asked me to collect all my work samples, and we provided all my technical writings with a "very" "very" detailed and well written response. Jay went on to research and provided actual data from Bureau of Labor Statistics, and explained how the data was compiled by Labor Department.

Therefore USCIS CANNOT DENY THE CASE stating that it was not an applicable title. Case was immediately approved withing 3-4 days of submission. This experience taught me a lot about immigration and how technical it can get. Not to mention, Jay said that he will go to battle with USCIS in courts if he had to because USCIS was wrong. He is an expert in the area of immigration specially H-1Bs and is my attorney forever!!

Mr. Jay is one of the best Lawyers and very honest, ambitious, hardworking, helpful and experienced professional in the immigration field. Because of his capabilities and superb knowledge , he got me the success in my immigration case although my profile was a bit complicated. I personally can say that if anybody looking for the Best lawyer for their profile to get success they must get service from Mr. Jay ( Terkiana inc.)

I used Terkiana’s service for sponsoring my parents Green Cards, he and his team were super helpful, responsive, flexible and made things happen with the least effort at my end, making it a seamless process. Highly recommend Jay and his team! I rarely review anyone/service, but I had to do it for this team. Thanks guys!

Jay has been very helpful in quickly advising on our change of status from B2 to F1 and accessible via email and phone always and it got approved. Their firm deals with complex immigration cases, green cards, H1b etc and my H1b also processed with their firm. All in all I was very happy with their team as a whole.

Jay is more than an attorney. He is very informative, considerate, reasonable and very very reliable. He patiently listens and guides you through right path.I still regret not reaching out to him first and but I am finally very happy to seek his thoughtful consultation on immigration related issues. He is very helpful and straightforward. I seriously recommend his help, consultation and a chat with him that would make you feel easy and put an end to your problems in your stressful life.

He stopped replying to my texts. Even if he couldn’t help me, he could’ve said it. Bad service.

Exceptional Team! Highly recommend for start-ups. Can handle very complex cases with ease.

Jay is an exceptional immigration attorney. I would highly recommend him. I had consulted few reputed attorneys before meeting Jay and most of them were commercial.
Jay is very patient and pays a lot of attention to the details of the case.
We had full support from him during our immigration matter. He was available to answer our queries all the time.
Jay helped to solve a very complicated case and gave some important suggestions that played an significant role.
I am thankful to him for his hard work and guidance. He is one of the best immigration attorney in USA according to my experience.

Great attorney and his team! We filled for marriage based permanent residence. It took me about year and half (delayed due to current administration). Sometimes I became a bit paranoid and we asked too many question but he patiently answered and explained all questions.

Hi, I'm sharing my personal experience here. I would highly recommend Jay for any immigration issues and so forth. He is the best.

I am full time employee and my employer applied H1-B extension through my company attorney on September 2018 which is six months before my H1b and I-94 expiry date . USCIS didn't made any decision on my case till Jan 2019 and my case was transferred to another processing center , On Feb 2019 i have received RFE . My company lawyer took my RFE case and he was not able to prepare the response on time . Initially my company layer told it s very simple RFE case and it will be get approved easily. USCIS gave 3 months to response to RFE , my company lawyer didn't prepare and not responding to my calls or my manager calls or emails and we were in the situation we had only 2 weeks to prepare the RFE response , I talked to my company HR managers and hired Jay . He is really done fantastic job and he walked us though the RFE response process and mistake done by previous attorney during H1-B extension filing and why we received the RFE in detail . Then he prepared the RFE response within a week . He really amazing to work with and my the H1-B is approved AUG 2019 .

Hi, I’m sharing my personal experience here. I would highly recommend Jay. My case was so critical and he helped me through it. Thank you so much! I still can’t believe it. He handled it so well. All the hard work finally paying off. Thank you again for answering every call and email I did. He is available round the clock for any queries and has even responded to my e-mails at night. He and the team did something that was just impossible. A little detail about my scenario which was very critical. I had one petition that was denied and other one that had RFE due to change of client. But Jay and team made sure that this did not affect my approval. My H-1 B got approved for three years. He made sure of the smallest thing that could make my case stronger and got me an approval which was a really big deal. I would recommend Jay for any immigration issues and so forth. He is the best.

Jay helped us with our EB-1 case tremendously. We had tried Zhang & Associates a few years earlier, who made us switch to EB-2 NIW as they were not comfortable preparing an EB-1 case. NIW went through, but after a couple of years, we started looking for a good lawyer with EB-1 experience who can put together a strong case. We tried Chen & Associates who refused to take the case and a few more, but finally decided to go with Jay Terkiana after meeting him in person for a first consultation. He prepared a plan and guided us every step of the way. There were times when I was skeptical of his advice, but we are so glad we followed it. He was confident from the beginning that the profile is a great fit for EB-1. No RFE, no delay. Got the approval in 5 days! Would recommend Jay as an EB-1 specialist to anyone.

I have a great experience with Jay and his team for my H1b application. Highly recommended and trusted for any immigration issues.

I highly recommended Jay to anyone who has immigration issues. All you need to do is to pick up your phone and call Jay, tell him your situation, and he will find a way to fix your immigration problem.
