Highly recommend Devang, if you need to immensely increase the probability of the success of your L1A or L1B visa petition

My company and I have been hiring Devang Shah (Firm Shah and Kishore) for our L1A and L1B Visa Applications. We have engaged with him for various purposes, such as initial visa applications, renewal of petitions, and especially RFE responses, including evaluation of the responses through specialized... industry experts. In the past several years, during the challenging times in dealing with visa paperwork, we have had excellent support from Mr. Devang Shah and his team (including Miss. Falguni Desai). He has been proactive and pre-emptive in rightly anticipating and providing guidance and recommendations throughout the entire process, and has guided our applicants through every stage of the process. He is very knowledgeable and thorough in his approach towards the immigration cases, both L1A and L1B, as I have personally engaged with him in numerous of those in the past several years. His experience is evident in the knowledge that he has about immigration processing. We highly recommend Mr. Devang and are thankful for his support for each of our applications through the years.

Professional Immigration support

Shah & Kishore’s office provided excellent legal support throughout my immigration case. Attorney Singer was invaluable, guiding us every step of the way with professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. Their expertise in immigration and visa consultations is truly their strong suit. Highly... recommended!

Exceptional Experience with L1A Visa Attorney

I had the pleasure of consulting Devang Shah regarding my L1A visa application for an intracompany transfer in an executive role. From our very first interaction, he and his team demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities involved in L1A visa cases and provided expert guidance tailored spe...cifically to my situation as a business executive. Falguni, colleague of Devang was meticulous in evaluating every aspect of the petition, offering clear and strategic advice that strengthened the overall application. She helped present my executive role and company structure in a compelling and compliant manner, anticipating the nuances that the U.S. immigration authorities typically look for. I was particularly impressed with her responsiveness, professionalism, and ability to simplify complex legal language into actionable steps. Thanks to Devang’s expertise and thorough approach, I felt well-prepared and confident going into the visa interview process. I highly recommend Devang and his team to any executive or business professional seeking reliable immigration counsel, especially for L1A visa matters.

Thank You for the Outstanding Support on My Visa Journey

I had a great experience working with Mr. Devang Shah and case manager Namrata Mantravadi on my I-140 petition and H-1BVisa. Mr. Shah carefully reviewed all my documents and made sure everything was accurate and ready before submission. He was very professional and paid close attention to every detai...l. Namrata was also extremely helpful. She ensured every small detail was handled and was always available to answer my questions. She kept me updated throughout the process, which made everything much easier and less stressful. I'm really happy with the support I received from both of them. They did an excellent job, and I’m truly thankful for their help.

  • 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.
