Ranchod Law Group — Immigration Services in English and Spanish / Servicios a los inmigrantes en español Immigration is not just my profession it's part of my daily, personal life. I grew up as an immigrant myself and went through the immigration process firsthand. At the age of one, my family immigrated to the U.S. from Cape Town, South Africa. Our family's immigration story actually begins with my great-grandparents, who traveled by boat from India to South Africa in search of a better life. Like most immigrants, they were incredibly courageous they didn't know anyone in South Africa and had no job waiting for them, but they had work ethic and integrity. My grandparents built a living mending shoes, and eventually my grandfather turned that trade into a successful business, opening his own shoe factory. Despite that success, my grandfather wanted to escape the oppression of apartheid and build a better future for his family, so he made the decision to immigrate to the United States. Later, my father brought our family to the U.S., where he attended chiropractic school. My wife was born and raised in Bombay (Mumbai), India. We met here in the U.S., while she was teaching special needs children in Santa Clara, California. I travel to India often to visit her family in Bombay, it's one of the highlights of my year, between the incredible food and the time spent with family. Because of this, I understand on a deeply personal level why people are willing to leave behind everything familiar — their family, friends, and home to build a new life in the United States. For me, practicing immigration law wasn't just a career choice. It was a natural calling. As a Sacramento immigration attorney, I consider it an honor and a privilege to help make your life better. This isn't just a profession for me it's my life's work. Thank you for considering entrusting me and the Ranchod Law Group with your future. Read Full Bio
