Best immigration lawyer

I had an excellent experience working with Devang on my immigration case. From the very first consultation, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring about my situation. He explained each step of the process clearly, kept me updated on every development, and made sure all the documenta...tion was perfectly prepared. What stood out most was his attention to detail and quick response to my questions — I always felt confident that my case was in the best hands. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, my application was approved smoothly and faster than expected. I highly recommend Devang to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer who truly goes above and beyond for his clients!

EB5

Navigating the EB-5 immigration process is no small task, but working with Devang made the entire journey smooth, clear, and successful. From the very first consultation, he demonstrated an incredible depth of knowledge about the EB-5 program, always staying ahead of every detail, deadline, and requi...rement. What stood out most was the personal attention and care we received. Devang and Falguni didn’t just treat us like another case file—they truly understood how important this was for our family and future, and that made all the difference. Every question (and there were many!) was answered promptly and thoroughly. Communication was always clear, professional, and reassuring. Thanks to Devang's guidance and Falguni’s hard work my I-526 petition was approved within a month without delays or issues. I felt supported every step of the way and am incredibly grateful for the honest advice, diligent work, and genuine kindness throughout the process. If you’re considering the EB-5 path, I cannot recommend Devang highly enough. This is someone you want on your side.

Extremely efficient and professional group

​I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Devang Shah and his team at Shah & Kishore for a work visa application from Nepal, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. The entire process, from initial consultation to visa approval, took just three months—a testament to their efficiency ...and expertise.​ Mr. Shah's deep knowledge of immigration law and his approachable demeanor made the complex visa process much more manageable. His team was consistently responsive and thorough, ensuring that all documentation was accurate and submitted promptly.​ A special shout out goes to Ms. Hema Chittigidde, whose professionalism and prompt communication were invaluable. She provided clear guidance and all necessary information for my visa interview, which contributed significantly to the successful outcome.​ I highly recommend Devang Shah and his team at Shah & Kishore to anyone seeking immigration legal services. Their dedication and professionalism are truly commendable.

Excellent services for H1B, H4, and H4EAD

I had the pleasure of working with Devang Shah for my H1B visa and my family's H4 visa, including the H4 EAD for my spouse. From start to finish, Devang and his team (Namrata) were professional, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable about the immigration process. He made what could have been a compli...cated and stressful journey seamless and stress-free. Devang was always available to answer any questions I had, providing clear explanations and timely updates. His attention to detail and proactive approach gave me confidence throughout the entire process. He was particularly helpful in guiding us through the H4 EAD application for my spouse, ensuring everything was handled smoothly. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking immigration assistance. His expertise and commitment to his clients truly set him apart. Thank you for your exceptional service and support!
