Carol Villalta, Esq.
Ms. Villalta obtained her Juris Doctorate degree from Santa Clara University in 2003. While in law school, she volunteered over 300 hours at the Katharine & George Alexander Community Law Center (formally known as the East San Jose Community Law Center). A significant portion of her time there was focused on VAWA, Political Asylum cases, U and V visas. In the private sector, she worked in the areas of family law and deportation cases. Her understanding of VAWA and U visas was furthered enhanced by her work at Bay Area Legal Aid (San Jose) as a volunteer attorney. Ms. Villalta joined the firm in 2004 and has concentrated her work on business immigration cases.
"Aruna Venkidu was My immigration attorney. As an Indian immigrant, the most important thing for me in the US is US immigration process.
It was a long immigration journey with Aruna Venkidu . She guided me through AC21(Change of employer), Green card processing and then US citizenship. I respect her professionalism and thorough understanding of US immigration process. She makes sure that the application is filled accurately, and all the supporting documents are attached.
Whenever I failed to fill the application correctly or missed some supporting documents, she promptly identify the issues and fixed the issues and made sure that all the supporting documents are attached before submitting the application.
The application submission process under the guidance of Aruna Venkidu was so thorough. It gave me peace of mind and I was able to focus on my work and my duties.
I am very grateful to Aruna Venkidu and want to express my deepest gratitude for her guidance throughout my immigration journey in the US. She listened to all my problems patiently and provided solutions in US immigration matters. The solutions provided by Aruna were very helpful. She cares for the immigration people and be with you throughout the immigration journey.
I highly recommend Aruna Venkidu for any US immigration services. She is a trusted Immigration attorney."

"I have had the privilege of knowing Aruna Venkidu for over 20 years. She was our company’s immigration attorney, and I first sought her guidance for my Green Card (GC) processing in 2003. Aruna possesses deep expertise in U.S. immigration laws and processes, and she carefully guided me through my available options—whether to proceed within the U.S. or opt for Consular Processing in India. I ultimately chose to complete the process in the U.S.
During my I-485 application, I faced significant delays due to the ‘Name Check Process’, a security measure introduced post-9/11. Despite my priority date being current, my case remained stuck for over three years. Aruna was instrumental in navigating these bureaucratic hurdles, advocating on my behalf through local Congress members, Senators, and even the immigration office of the First Lady to expedite the process. Thanks to her relentless efforts and expert guidance, I finally received my Green Card.
The second case Aruna handled for our family was even more complex—securing a Green Card for my stepmother after my father’s passing. This involved navigating several legal challenges, including:
✅ Establishing the legitimacy of my father’s marriage (1971) and his subsequent marriage to my stepmother (1987).
✅ Addressing the absence of my stepmother’s birth certificate.
✅ Responding to numerous USCIS queries and undergoing extensive document evaluations over a two-year period.
Despite these challenges, Aruna’s legal expertise, persistence, and strategic approach ensured that my stepmother successfully obtained her Green Card.
On a professional level, I have been in a leadership role at my current company for nine years, during which Aruna has been our primary immigration attorney. She has managed all immigration-related matters for our employees, ensuring seamless processing, compliance, and approvals. Over the years, she has been a beacon of support for hundreds of immigrants, helping them navigate the complexities of the U.S. immigration system with dedication, integrity, and unmatched expertise.
On behalf of my family and all our employees, I want to express my deepest gratitude to Aruna for her unwavering support and exceptional legal counsel. She is truly an outstanding immigration attorney and a trusted advocate for immigrants."
