Mr Perfect

Devang is a expert lawyer and he knows how to deal with critical cases and get them approved. Recently, He worked on my H1B transfer case. After receiving RFEs, I thought that my all dreams were shattered. Devang's team documented it very nicely and responded to the RFE immediately. I almost lost the... hopes and I thought that I have to pack my bags and leave the country but that's not the case I got the approval notice and living the american dream now . He knows the value of time and how critical is the case and how quickly they have to respond. He understands our concerns and gives a top priority to it. Guys, Believe me ShanandKishore is a top firm to work with. I would definitely recommend to all my friends and colleagues to file their visa related cases with them only .

Green Card Processing and H1 Extension

it is my pleasure to recommend Devang Shah., I worked for a employer in US and Processed my GC in EB3. After i requested my employer to make amendment from EB3 to EB2. it is hard to get the approval for same employer for EB3 to EB2 porting. first time my labor got RFE and then second time Devang pro...cessed my labor without fee. this is helped me to get my green card in within 18 Months. H1 processing and Extensions without any issues i got the approval for last 8 years. hope my message will help for porting EB3 to EB2 with same employer.

Expert in Immigration Law and an all round good guy!

I had the pleasure of knowing Devang from the time I was a college student. He helped me with my first H1 till the time I got my GC. His team is very organized and they never dropped the ball once in my case. I was given case status updates regularly and I truly knew my case was in good hands with th...em. I wholeheartedly endorse them because of my personal experience and I have referred friends and colleagues to Shah and Kishore and will continue doing so.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
