Why Sonal Sharma deserves it

Nominated for

The Against All Odds Award for Breaking through red tape in Immigration

Presented to an attorney who refused to accept “no” as a final answer. This award recognizes extraordinary persistence in navigating bureaucratic obstacles to deliver results for their client when the odds were stacked against them.

Sonal Sharma recently secured an H-1B approval after USCIS issued a NOID, challenging the filing of an H-1B petition during the pendency of a B-2 visa. She has built a practice representing clients in precisely these high-stakes status situations, consistently achieving favorable outcomes through rigorous documentation and targeted legal responses. This approval reflects not luck, but the tenacious, evidence-driven advocacy that defines how Sonal Sharma fights for every client she represents.
