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.

Senior Manager

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.

Great Experience! Highly Recommended!

Immigration process can be very intricating and so finding an attorney who is very professional, someone who has the right knowledge, plenty of experience and on top who can make you understand the process was my top priority while hiring an attorney. Mr. Shah was the perfect answer. I had no issues ...working with Mr. Shah and his team. My entire process from obtaining the work authorization to permanent residency was absolutely seamless. I would highly recommend Mr. Shah to anyone who is currently in search of an immigration attorney. Thank you Mr. Shah & Ms. Desai

Extremely helpful !!

I have recently filed my H1B petition outside of the US with Shah & Kishore firm and got H1B approved within 2 days!! I am really surprised with the way S&K handles the cases and processes within the assured timeline. This firm listens to its customers, understand their situation and pays really... good attention to each minute detail. Going forward, I would recommend Shah & Kishore Law firm to my friends, colleagues, and family. Thank you note:: I would like to thank 'Valeria Villalba Lopez' who have worked smartly and efficiently to get my H1B petition approved without any hassle.

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.
