Uniting Families Across Borders
We’ve Walked the Same Path.
I am an immigrant like you.
My journey to the United States will resonate with many of you who have traveled the same path or will soon be taking the first steps. In 2002, I first appeared before a consular officer for a visa interview at the U.S. Embassy of Bangkok. Few years later, a law firm filed for my adjustment of status. I was issued an Employment Authorization Document and Advance Parole and then interviewed at the Chicago, IL immigration USCIS field office after which I was granted permanent residency.
In 2010, I took the oath to become a U.S. citizen, graduated from law school, earned my law license from the IL Supreme Court, and committed to becoming an immigration attorney to be of service to fellow immigrants. In 2012, HBM Law Offices, LLC was born.
My real-life experience makes me acutely aware of the hurdles, challenges, and unknowns of the immigration process. Having successfully represented hundreds of cases before the United States Customs and Immigration Services and the U.S. Department of State, you can trust in the quality of our representation: we have over a decade experience, are client-centric in our values, engage in tech solutions to keep fees reasonable and transparent, and feel proud to have maintained relationships with our clients extending beyond the conclusion of their case.
We look forward to hearing from you and being your trusted legal counsel through your immigration case and beyond.
Whether you’re looking to bring your loved ones to the U.S., obtain and maintain green cards, or request forgiveness for an immigration violation (waivers), we would love to help you.

Professional, Competent and Empathic – Highest Recommendation!
Himani and her staff, especially Chey, are fantastic to work with! Do I have enough space here to say all I want to say?! Extremely professional. Very fair fees. Sincere empathy for our situation which we (my wife and I) deeply appreciated. Fast responses to all our (many, many, many) questions and emails! All information about our case was explained fully and everything went totally smoothly and quickly – not something you normally expect when working with the federal government! I recommend the HBM Law Offices, LLC most highly and cannot imagine anyone could provide better representation.
I will add that I am a licensed lawyer in Iowa but realized we needed competent representation in this matter as I know nothing about immigration law and we received it! I am quite aware of how various law firms / lawyers do their work and can attest that Himani Bhardwaj is a lawyer’s lawyer – truly a role model for the rest of us.

Absolutely Fantastic!!!!!!
We are so glad we hired Himani to help us with our immigration, after speaking to a couple immigration lawyers, we chose her as she was the best. Himani is very knowledgeable, patient and kind. She is extremely professional yet approachable. I guess being an immigrant herself she understands our immigration matters best. Himani and Chey are always available to help us. We received responses to our questions very promptly from both Himani and Chey. They went the extra mile for us. We got our green card 9 or 10 months after we applied. It was the best experience and we would love to continue using Himani’s services right till I become a citizen because of the flawless excellent services provided. Thanks so much Himani and Chey we love your work and the way you helped us is outstanding!!! I as an immigrant and my husband as a US citizen both loved working with you!!!! The charges are also fantastic for the efforts put in and the great results. Himani and Chey y’all are excellent so continue the great Job!!!!

They had no problems getting him his unlawful presence waiver for my husband
I can not say enough good things about HBM Law Offices! My husband and I hired Himani to help with his family based Visa. Himani and her paralegal Chey were awesome. We have been working with them for the last 3 years and am so thrilled to say he has successfully received his green card! They had no problems getting him his unlawful presence waiver for my husband, who is from Mexico. I’m so glad we decided to go with HBM instead of one of the more well know attorneys in our area. Himani truly cares for her clients, they aren’t treated like another number (or paycheck). She gives you a set price and breaks it up along the duration of the process. Its so convienent not having to go into the office every time something is needed (not to mention being charged for the visit). There are no surprises, she tells you exactly what to expect, good and bad, a general time span in which to expect it as well. If you are trying to obtain some kind of papers from Mexico don’t waste your time on one of the overworked attorneys around, chose HBM instead! You won’t regret it!

My wife and kids now are lawful permanent residents of the United States of America
Where do I start , with how amazing job Himani and Chey did for my wife and step boys casé on AOS since day one they helped us understand so much and what we needed for our case , and if we still didn’t get it they didn’t hesitate to find other ways for us to understand the things we needed to make our case stronger .
It wasn’t a easy time for us since we had to deal a lot with covid-19 but they figured out ways to get everything done in a good timely manner , they were always on top of everything even when I wasn’t since I was so busy working 16 hour shifts most of the time to take care of my family .
Thanks to Himani and chey my wife and kids now are lawful permanent residents of the United States of America, now my wife will be able to get driver’s license to be able to drive legally in America and help me with the kids more , she will now be able to work to provide for our big family. Himani and Chey are the best at helping people in immigration cases , i would not think twice in hiring her again . I will definitely recommend her to all my friends and family on anything immigration they need help with. Thank u Himani and chey for being so passionate in helping people make their dreams come true.
Me and my family are super excited and are planning on visiting family in Mexico here soon , again thank you to HIMANI AND CHEY at HBM LAW OFFICES LLC IN DES MOINES IOWA
If anybody needs help with immigration case do not hesitate in contacting them , I totally recommend them to everybody.
