Swati Singh, an immigration consultant with Bhavya Chaudhary & Associates in Norcross wrote to the Daily Report that working with Bhavya Chaudhary “has been one of the most satisfying and inspiring periods of my life and continues to be so, every single day.”

“Bhavya has the heart of a teacher and nothing gives her more satisfaction than to see others succeed and grow under her wing,” Singh wrote.

“She pushes herself beyond limits and even though she may not expect the same of her team she does train them in a way that they can far exceed their own expectations and limitations,” she added. “Once under her mentorship, an individual can honestly look back at herself/himself and wonder how they reached where they are in such a short time. This growth is mental, intellectual, even physical to some extent and definitely professional.”

Singh credited Chaudhary's practice of sponsoring a Friday lunch each week that “gives everyone an opportunity to interact with each other in a relaxed atmosphere.” She also said that Chaudhary offers employees great exposure in all areas of immigration.

“In the short time that Bhavya has run her own practice she has honed individuals to go forward in their careers and earn some tremendously satisfying and lucrative positions in the Immigration field, that range from private firms to government agencies like the USCIS.”

Who was one of your most important mentors, and what was that relationship like?

The earliest mentors in my life were my older sister Vatsala Jha and my late Uncle Rajnikant Jha. Both taught me there was no substitute for discipline, hard work and focus. My mentor in applying myself harder in my legal work, to not be satisfied with mediocre work, was my former boss, Mr. Robert Fierman, Esq.

What is the biggest challenge to maintaining a mentor-mentee relationship? It is disappointing for a mentor if the mentee does not show curiosity and hunger to learn and improve or if a mentee starts leaning on the mentor instead of taking an initiative to learn and be prepared.
