Excellent Service

Mr Devang Shah is excellent immigration attorney. He exhaustively research my case & provide solid advice that was invaluable to my business, my carrier and my family reputation. I recommend his services for those who are interested to apply immigrant and non-immigrant visa to USA.

Thank you so much for fulling our American Dream

From the time we came in United States, our case was handled by Shah and Kishore, they took care of everything for us from H1-B filling till getting our Green Card. Our Green card Case was handled by Falguni Desai, she is very knowledge and looked into every detail in our case and ensuring we get ou...r green card without any problems. I would like to thank the entire staff of Shah and Kishore.

Devang is not a good attorney, he is simple GENIUS

I have worked with this guy for the last 9 years for various complex H1-b related immigration matters. I needed help on different types of cases (A. Consulting arragement with End client, B. Startup situation with no product launched) each with its own complexities. some of them were very difficul...t. The Strategy that Devang uses to handle with various cases is extremely different and creative. sometimes it surprises me. In todays age, immigration has become very complex and you cant just rely on average/above average attorneys. you need brilliant people. you need creative people who think differently. Who adapt with changing times. Devang is one such guy. He has excellent para legal staff. (Serena is such a perfectionist. she is always on top of things. it saves a lot of time and energy. plus she "thinks" unlike many other para legals i have worked in the past).

Green card processing

This was the second lawfirm we contacted after a very bad experience with the first one. I am very glad that I worked with Devang Shah on the green card application for myself and my family. I was pleased with the practical approach and did not need to worry about an application that this firm file...d for us. I received a prompt response for any inquiry I had. It has been a long journey to obtain the permanent residence approval but I am thankful for the support we received from Devang and his team. It is with great respect and gratitude that I recommend him as one of the best immigration attorneys.

I cant Thank Them Enough!

I cant say enough to praise Mr. Devang Shah in particular and the entire team at Shah in Kishore in general. My L1A Visa experience was amazing thanks to Devang and his team. Initially I was a bit skeptical and concerned because of my new office situation. Devang met me as and when required, drafted ...my petition meticulously, answered all my questions promptly and hence I got my L1A approval. He and his team of lawyers and para-legals have a great professional attitude and attention to detail which is the reason behind their spectacular record. In the process of filing and getting my L1A approved, Devang became a close friend. I cant thank them enough!!! Thanks Devang and Team.
