Our firm has gained an esteemed reputation in the arts community as a trusted legal resource, helping artists and entertainers enter the United States for work.

The ability for a foreign person to live and work in the United States as a permanent resident is a significant accomplishment. People that have valid visas may have the opportunity to apply for a Green Card. The bridge between a visa and a Green Card when applying in the United States is called an adjustment of status.
If you are as citizen of the United States wish to unite with your non-citizen fiance, you may need to apply for a K-1 visa on his or her behalf. A K-1 visa is a powerful and essential tool that unites couples and helps them start a new life in the United States. With a K-1 visa, you may marry your spouse in the country and live together.
If you are living outside of the United States and wish to obtain a Green Card, it is important to have quality legal services within the country to support you as you pursue your goals. If you are lucky enough to be the recipient of an approved immigration petition and visa number, you will need to go through something called consular process, a method of becoming a lawful permanent resident for those abroad.

I have so much love and respect in my heart for Neal and his team.
An incredible (and emotional experience) all the way through. He got me my green card, and I am now well on my way to citizenship. I never could have done this by myself/without them—and I will remain grateful for the rest of my life for the service and dedication they provided to me.
If you’re looking for an immigration attorney/help I simply cannot recommend him enough. A small firm where you get the sense they actually care about you and are looking out. To this day I don’t understand how I lucked out and found them

As a New Yorker and son of immigrants Neal R. Datta knows how to navigate in the waters of the U.S Department of Justice locally and nation wide . . .
The immigration offices and judges know him and his family operating in this precipice for a few genation .
Neal R. Datta is a darling to all the agents, judges and employees of the U.S Immigration services of the U.S Department of Justice . He is certainly not happy with the injustice

Neal is not just an awesome attorney, he is also an amazing person who is passionate about his practice. He is extremely knowledgeable and is truly an expert. Neal did my entire family. We had an exceptional situation of my daughter being taken here when she was 6 years old. Neal was able to get her legalized without her going through the DACA program now she is 6 a few months from her naturalization ceremony.
He is like family for taking care of my family and keeping us together.
Overall I recommend him to everyone looking for a dedicated immigration attorney who will give them results.

Neal and Jill are awesome. They're genuinely sweet people and treat their clients like friends. I'm a visual artist and they helped me acquire my O-1 visa upon first moving to the US and subsequently have helped me get my EB-1 green card. I couldn't be happier.
The petition process for both visas was smooth and their office has a relaxed vibe that is comforting. Highly recommend their skilled services to all!
They've also got a great accountant named Jorge. Super convenient and affordable for income taxes.

Neal, Jill and Ramona are the best!!! They have helped my husband and I throughout the last two years as nobody else could have had. After going all over New York looking for an honest attorney, we ended up with Neal through a friend's recommendation and we have not been disappointed . They have done more than what we expected and are always looking for new and better ways to help us. They are very professional and very easy to get along with.

I had a great experience with Neal and Jill - they helped me apply for an Adjustment of Status. Everything went through so smoothly and my case was approved! Throughout the process, they were very professional and welcoming and were always able to answer any questions I had. They gave my husband and I excellent advice and I can't recommend them highly enough!

I highly recommend Mr. Datta. When I met him I was working at a French restaurant and we began to chat because he noticed my French accent. I described my immigration situation to him and it turned out that he actually knew all the officers at the immigration office who had my case. He told me it sounded like my case was in danger of denial, which I was unaware of that at the time. But he was right and my case was denied. I then hired Neal, who helped me reapply for my residency, which was then approved. I dealt with a lot of stress through that time and Neal was very reassuring. Thanks to him

I had just filed for my green card back in May with Neal and Jill and i got my green card within four months with no problems at all. I am very please with the services that they had provided me with. Jill and Neal was very professional and they address all of my concerns and they gave me a peace of mind. I would recommend their services to anyone in need of a great lawyer.
