Exceptional Service and Success in Our Company’s First H1B Approval

I am thrilled to share our experience with Devang Shah, Namratha and their incredible team at Law Offices of Shah & Kishore. As a company navigating the complex process of H1B visa applications for the first time, we were in need of expert guidance and support. Devang Shah exceeded our expectations ...at every turn. From the outset, Devang Shah demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge in immigration law. They guided us through the intricacies of the application process with patience and clarity, ensuring we understood each step. Their professionalism and expertise were evident, giving us confidence in a process that was entirely new to us. The real test of their exceptional service came when we faced a Request for Evidence (RFE) from the USCIS. This was a daunting moment for us, but Devang Shah and their team responded with remarkable speed and efficiency. Their strategic approach and meticulous attention to detail in addressing the RFE were outstanding. They left no stone unturned, preparing a comprehensive and compelling response that highlighted our candidate's qualifications and our company's needs. Thanks to their diligent work, we received our first H1B approval. This success is a testament to Devang Shah's skill and dedication. Their team's responsiveness, coupled with their deep understanding of immigration law, made what could have been a stressful and uncertain process smooth and successful. I cannot recommend Devang Shah and Law Offices of Shah & Kishore highly enough. They have not only helped us achieve our goal but have also set a high standard for what we expect from legal partners. For any company seeking assistance with H1B visas or other immigration matters, look no further than this exceptional team.

[Not] Professional and Systematic Service

Update: I will update this review with correct & complete details soon. Please disregard the previous review below which was added in the initial stage. Have processed my H1B application at Shah and Kishore successfully. Valeria helped me with my queries and other application procedures in detail... & helped to process them in a systematic way. Great service & highly recommended.

Good experience working with Shah and Kishore on immigration petition

Shah and Kishore were very professional in handling my immigration case. They successfully got my petition case approved. The case manager, Valeria Villalba Lopez, answered and responded to my questions and was very helpful. I would highly recommend them.

Excellent service

This is an amazing practice. Mr. Shah is very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. I presented a few complicated issues with my case and all the possible options were presented to me with pros and cons. The immigration process confuses me and stresses me out, but I am glad I had professional... help. Le'ah Lugassi also worked on my case and she was exceptional. Even when I was out of the country, she was available through email and WhatsApp for urgent questions. She was respectful and patient with me, and provided all the information that I needed for a successful case. Do not hesitate to work with this team! I would recommend them without a doubt.

I have worked with Devang for nearly the last 10 years. He is professional, informative, knowledgeable, and my go-to lawyer for any immigration concerns. His staff are also friendly, prompt, accurate and efficient.
