Prakash Khatri

Khatri Law Firm, LLC, led by Prakash Khatri, is a well-established immigration law practice based in Bethesda, Maryland, known for handling complex immigration and nationality issues with high expertise. With over 35 years of legal practice, Mr. Khatri specializes in matters that arise after filing with USCIS, CBP, ICE, and the U.S. Department of State—such as case delays, appeals, visa ineligibilities, and other post-filing concerns.

Before founding this firm, Prakash Khatri made history as the first United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Ombudsman from 2003 to 2008, appointed by President George W. Bush. In this role, he managed a team tasked with identifying systemic issues in USCIS operations and making recommendations for process improvements. His experience also includes leading immigration compliance at companies like Walt Disney World and providing policy advice at federal levels. Khatri Law operates with a concierge-style service: fewer cases per attorney, highly personalized care, and responsiveness even in urgent or emergency situations.
