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.

Employment based Green Card application

Devang was my lawyer for my employment-based Green Card, he had earlier helped me get my L1 visa too. Devang is a great guy to speak with. He is very humble, easygoing and confident. You need all these qualities in your lawyer because immigration cases can be long, tedious, and stressful. Throu...ghout the process, I felt fully supported by Devang and his team. Working with Devang made it obvious that he has years of experience doing this. He has a very nifty portal that helps you fill out all the relevant forms and upload all the documents. Devang's professional advice when I got an RFE was critical to help calm down my nerves. At every stage of the application, he provided his professional insights that always came out to be accurate and true. I will definitely recommend him to anyone seeking an employment-based visa or a Green Card.

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!!!

My Immigration Lawyer - My companion in this long lourney

I have been working with Devang and Falguni from so many years. They had helped me through all the Visa petitions, renewals, i140 and finally GC. I had some peculiar situations that could have caused enough worry for me but Devang had explained how those will be processed by USCIS and why should I no...t be worried at all. This had made my long wait much better. Falguni was my point of contact and had helped me through all the paperwork and was available during off hours and holidays as well, when I really wanted them the most. Overall I am very happy with their services and will recommend them for all your immigration related work.
