A former client

This review is not about Mehreen shah but its her associate Rebecca Singh whos working at the Mehreen shah. She was the one who recently worked on my case and my case was approved and I got my approval letter at last after 7 years. It doesn't matter how many cases some one worked on and how much ex...perience they have. The most important thing which matters is how much some one is serious about your case. When I needed assistance she always call back when she gets the time. She was always in contact with me through email when I needed assistance. If some one goes to the office of Mehreen shah then they should give their case to Rebecca Singh for all the good things she has done for me. She the best period.

Violence against women

Mona gave me her much needed advice and encouragement during the time when I was completely bewildered and broken. I can not express enough gratitude for the way she took care of my case and made a very difficult time much easier for me.

When things start wrong!!!

You have committed no crime yet you are sentenced to many many years of uncertainty and effectively the inability to travel beyond the borders of the US. The progressive uncertainty initiates with you then as your family expands it includes you, your spouse and your children. Common everyday words l...ike "right staffing, down sizing" have an uglier dimension and much much deeper meaning to you. The travel limitation effectively prevents you from "being there" when your family needs you. Yes indeed, you received the invitation card to your brother's wedding or the call about your uncle's accident but the leash that immigration has around you keeps you bound to your imposed limits. Sounds familiar? Well, welcome to a immigration case that got "randomized" or "stuck" for some reason or the other. During a time like this one needs a dynamic, competent and sharp attorney who has all the following traits: (Need one or two more here?) UNDERSTANDS YOUR NEEDS GIVES YOU HOPE & GUIDANCE IS PROFESSIONAL IS AVAILABLE - & willing to make the time. IS WILLING TO RESEARCH YOUR CASE ENSURES THAT YOUR COMPLETED FORMS/DOCUMENTS ARE TRIPLE CROSS-CHECKED, PACKAGED PROPERLY & SUBMITTED IN A TIMELY FASHION. Ms. Shah has consistently done all the above Her expertise stretches far beyond immigration law to include federal & family matters. With a cultural heritage stretching across 3 continents and a professional presence on both sides of the Atlantic Ms. Shah is the obvious choice when you need someone who thoroughly understands your needs, does her homework, and one who will gently stand by you over the years yet possesses a tenacious ferociousness when fighting on your behalf much like the lioness watching over her cubs. Too much? Well ...that is how I feel, so sue me ...I have Mona watching over me...

US IMMIGRATION

I requested Mehreen's services in 2007 for assistance in applying for a Green Card. I am married to a US Citizen, but there is still a lot of paperwork to be completed. Mehreen managed to get all the paper completed, interview set-up and Green Card in my hand within 5-6 months. I received great ser...vice and a pleasure to do business with Mehreen.

INS Case

Ms. Shah is very knowledgeable with the INS system. She will find away to help your case no mater how grim things look. She treats her clients like family, and cares about each and every case. She takes the time each case needs and makes sure the client is prepared in all matters. I highly recomm...end Ms. Shah for any INS matter someone is in need of. She gets the job done, with good results!!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer most highly, as I have worked closely with Ms. Shah on several client matters over the past 4 years. She takes on extremely complex cases, often ones that have been previously mishandled by other less skilled or careful lawyers. She is on top of the law, does an excellent job and will always go the extra mile to achieve success for a client."
