Fast response and very helpful for my green card process

Le’ah Moy Lugassi was my case manager for helping me apply the green card process. Le'ah is very helpful and always answers my questions and concerns detail and quickly. The entire process is smooth and I don't have to worry much since they are really trust-worthy.

Highly qualified, Much experienced and Considerate

I am pleased to work with Devang and his team including Namrata on EB3 Skilled Visa. They learn your situation and status and based on that they come with solutions that works the best. They take every factor like visa bulletin, your status, period of stay, background into consideration and provide y...ou with the best options for adjustment of status. They are not just some lawyers that know only how to fill out and send the forms, it is obvious that they have experience with some irregular cases as well including mine. My case was that I had other petition (EB2) filed with different lawyers while Shah and his team filed my EB3 Skilled Visa. They filed concurrently back in June, 2023. However, in December 2023, I received i131 and i765 denials by mistake of USCIS claiming that I don't have pending i485. After careful examinations, Shah and his team member Namrata connected with me to see our options. Working with Namrata first time, I was impressed at how she cares for your concerns and situation. She quickly comes up with some options that give you much confidence on your case. Speaking with Namrata, I could see at first conversation that she knows what she is doing, and is pretty much experienced. After our meeting on the concern, they immediately requested an Ombudsman to discuss the decision. Then they filed an appeal against the mistaken decisions after which it took about a week for my i131, i765 and even i140 approval. I am so glad to have worked with them on my irregular case. With Shah and his team, your case is in good hands. I'd definitely recommend working with them if you are looking for highly qualified, much experienced and considerate lawyers!!!

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.

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.
