B) Free Consultation By Rajiv Khanna – Immigration.com
Rajiv S. Khanna, US Immigration Attorney, hosts Free Conference Call every other Thursday at 12:30 PM Eastern Standard Time to answer US immigration related questions.
You should call at (202)-800-8394.
You should ask your question on their immigration.com forum first. They create a specific page for each conference call on their forum where you can queue up your question before the call.
Once the call starts, attorney answers the question in the sequence in which they have been asked on their forum page.
Once they have exhausted the forum page questions, they do take questions from people on the call. But, my suggestion is to not rely on the call and queue up your question on forum.
You can ask questions or just listen live or listen to the recording for the call. They post their conference call recording their YouTube Channel and forums.
Most of the questions hover around H1B and H4 EAD issues but you can ask your green card and advance parole queries too.
C) Call Local Indian Radio Channel
Most cities who have an Indian radio channel host the live ‘ask an attorney’ shows. You are allowed to call the radio and then ask questions live.
Dallas has two radio stations called fun asia and radio caravan that host the immigration question session with real attorneys. You can call live and ask your question.
The only thing is that you will probably just get about a minute or two to discuss. Your query should be precise and to the point.
Boston does not have any Indian radio channel.
New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut are served by 8K Radio EBC.
San Francisco/San Jose area has Radio Zindagi. Bay area people can call on Desi 1170 AM radio channel.
Peerally Law runs an immigration show on KLOK 1170 AM Radio Thursday from 10 am to 11 am (PST) in San Jose, California.
D) Ask Immigration Question on AVVO
Avvo.com is a popular question and answer platform where your query is answered by a real attorney.
You can expect a short and crisp answer from well-known and credible attorneys but only if you ask to-the-point question.
Although Avvo is pretty good, the drawback is that Many attorneys would simply just ask you to talk to your employer’s attorney for your L1 or H1B work visa query instead of giving an answer. Not sure why do they even reply on your post if they don’t want to answer!
The platform works both ways in the sense that attorneys get to find some of their prospective clients on avvo.
If you know about more options to ask an Immigration question for free, do let us know in the comments and we will update the article.
E) Peerally Shah Law Firm Free Consultation

We have not been independently verified this claim though. We suggest to call the shah peerally and then ask if their consultation is free or not before going ahead with your question.
They also run a radio show on KLOK 1170 AM Radio Thursday from 10 am to 11 am (PST) in San Jose, California.
F) TruVisa.com
Truvisa.com is a platform for immigrants and aims to answer your queries based on real people’s real experiences.
It is not an attorney affiliated platform at this time but answers are pretty reliable.
G) Murthy Law Firm LIVE Chat
Murthy law firm also answers your H1B and green card questions their LIVE chat.
Although the Murthy’s official page has announced that they have stopped having chat sessions, but i have seen it happening on their Facebook page in Aug 2019.
I think they have stopped doing it but I am not sure. Can anyone confirm if they have used their chat recently?
They also run a free teleconference that’s restricted to employers and their questions.
The next best option to find an answer to your non-immigrant question from murthy is to search their FAQs page. I have gone through them and its quite extensive and they have touched quite a number of commonly asked situations over the years.
