Legal scam

This office works with several companies to help their employees, mainly new graduates, get proper work authorization. I was one of those unlucky ones caugh int this con web. Shah is very knowledgable, but with a broken moral compass. I got such a visa that I was unable to change employer ever, and I... was openly informed by him and his staff that they will report me to uscis and be deported if I ever complained. I have a wife and two kids, but will have to leave country eventually and might not be able to come back due to the information they provided to the uscis which makes me seem like I lied in applicaiton, which was even filed without letting me check it first. Stay away from this sham if you have any alternatives.

Exceptional Immigration Attorney

He is a great attorney. He spent so much time working on my case. He helped me to get H1B visa and Green card pretty smoothly. Being from small company and had no experience of H1B and Green card application, he helped a lot explaining the entire process to my HR; convince her and finally able to get... Green Card to both of us; myself and my wife. He is best most affordable attorney i have ever worked with. He is very understandable and take every steps seriously. He always responded on time. He handled all RFEs and other documentation issues very smoothly. I am very happy that i hired him as my immigration attorney.

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.

H1B Transfer - Excellent service from start to finish

Devang Shah is the best immigration lawyer I ever seen before. He really cares about employee who applying for H1B transfer. I really felt that everyone in the officers truly cared for the outcome of my case. I highly recommend him.

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).
