If you want to hire the best Immigration Attorney, hire Attorney Shihab. He will go above and beyond anyone's expectations, and stays on top of your case. He keeps you informed and up to date on deadlines, interviews and what to expect. We are very grateful and happy with him and his entire staff. Ex...cellent Attorney! Thanks again.

Atty. Shihab helped me navigate several issues that I had never faced before... he made it easy and supported me immediately if I had any questions, and his suggestions were top-notch. My case was very important as it could have affected my livelihood had the situation not gone in my favor. Also, h...is office associates and reception staff were completely professional and helped my every need, as response time was extremely quick. He is the best thing that happened this year!

I’m very pleased with Gus and his law firm. They have represented my H1-B, PERM, and I-140 cases all of which were approved without any glitch. When I first spoke with Gus regarding my case, I was convinced my case is as important for him as it was for me. Gus and his staff are very knowledgable and ...highly professional. They possess great depth of knowledge of the immigration matters; a reflection of which I could see in the management of my cases. The constant interactions I had with Gus and any of his staff kept me encouraged and confident. Any questions I had were answered in a satisfactory and timely fashion. Gus is only an email away. I have received quick response from him for emails that were sent after hours. An example of Gus's diligence and expertise. I had around 11-months for completion of 6-years H1-B when Gus started working on my labor. I did not had the luxury of time and then PERM processing times began to slow down and hit a record low of 8-months. Gus came up with an agressive strategy and got all the paper work in right order. Lo and behold my PERM application was certified with ample time left to get my I-140 approved. It would be my pleasure to recommend the law firm of Shihab and associates to anyone who wants to be represented by an experienced, competent, and friendly immigration attorney. keep up the good work Gus and team!

I was introduced to Mr. Shihab through a close friend. At the time, I was working with another attorney regarding an immigration issue. While the previous attorney was ok, he was hard to reach via phone or email, and whenever I was lucky to talk to him, he only had a few seconds to spare. Then... comes Mr. Shihab! The first time I spoke to him on the phone, I was struck by his wealth of knowledge in matters immigration. He carefully listened to me, asked intelligent questions, and assured me that his office takes immigration cases seriously. He also told me that his law firm only pursues cases they are sure they will go through. In other words, his firm doesn't just care about profits. My interactions with Mr. Shihab have been very pleasant. He is easily accessible via phone or email. Additionally, his law firm uses a secure web portal for communication and document uploads. Both my employer and I found this portal to be very useful as it simplifies exchange of documents. There's no need to waste time and money mailing documents. All that one needs to do is sign into the portal and upload their documents. Additionally, the portal makes it easy to track your case progress. I had the opportunity to interact with most of the lawyers, paralegals, and staff at Mr. Shihab's law firm. Every person I spoke to was courteous, friendly, approachable, and very professional. If the person I talked to was not familiar with the particulars of my case, he/she promised t have the relevant person call me within the same day. I cannot think of a day that I sought information from Shihab $ Associates Law Firm and never got it in a timely fashion! I do understand that everybody's case is different, but regardless of your circumstances, I highly recommend attorney Shihab. I promise you will never regret hiring this attorney to take care of your legal issue. Mr. Shihab has assembled a team of very competent lawyers and staff to support him, and his firm is one of the best I have ever worked with. Last but certainly not least, Mr. Shihab's fees were the lowest of all the previous lawyers I'd worked with. Hire Mr. Shihab and rest assured that your case is in good hands...and brains.

I am an employee of a local hospital here in Orangeburg SC since 2008, responsible for the credentialing and coordinate all insurance contracting offers or amendments for various insurance carriers. I was on a J2 visa dependent with EAD work authorization that expired recently. We were able to manage... and work on our J-visa waiver on our own, involving intensive research, arranging exhibits and obtaining factual evidence supporting our claim that “leaving the US will impose extreme hardship to our U.S. citizen child”. We were able to get a favorable result from USCIS which allowed us to move further and prepared for the next step. However please be cautioned, if I had a chance to go back and redo the waiver - it is more advisable to retain a knowledgeable firm who can work with you in each and every step. It will be easier and less stressful for you. Know your own case and get the right firm to help you achieve your goals. From the advent of my voyage towards getting a H1B visa, I am aware that this will be a difficult task. Getting a H1B visa had a lot of obstacles and it has its own set of challenges - more complex than the J visa waiver process. I did hours of research for several months on how I can overcome all the difficulties it presents. The number one concern – “my employer has never sponsored a H1B Cap Exempt visa in the past” USCIS had several cases wherein hospitals got disapproved because they are being required by adjudicators to provide evidence that a previously approved H1B petition has been granted or issued under their entity. Not being able to satisfy RFEs in this nature resulted to case dis-approvals. Secondly, we need solid proof to qualify my employer as a H1B CAP exempt entity which can be a great challenge if you work on your own. I have spent time, money and spoke with various lawyers/firms for assistance but none of them made an appeal or good impression. All of the firms that I spoke with - do not have the argumentation I was looking for to support my case. I knew from the start that this type of case needs to be handled by a great firm and God directed me to Atty. Gus Shihab and his Associates. Atty. Gus Shihab is very knowledgeable in a wide variety of immigration issues and will be able to asses your chance for success based on your current situation. He can handle extra ordinary cases that other immigration lawyers cannot. He is ethical, professional and will address your concern/s in a timely manner. He gives you an overview on the strategy for your case and explains it to you in details once you retain his services. Most importantly, you are working with a great person who has a genuine personal concern for his clients. In addition to the above mentioned quality and skills - he has several excellent lawyers on standby, also involved in your case. Complete Satisfaction is what you will get as he and his entire staff will work hard for you to achieve your immigration goals. Sincerely, Jobert V Orangeburg, South Carolina
