Ghassan Marwan Shihab

I hired attorney Shihab's firm to handle three immigration cases: Asylum, two years home residency requirement and change of residency status and I would definitely hire them for my naturalization. I loved working with Mr. Shihab's firm from the first day I went there for a consultation. He is very... knowledgeable, respectful and experienced. After reviewing the documents I provided and talking to me, he wanted to be sure that he believes in my case before accepting it so he asked me to give him a week to review the documents with more details. I contacted him back after a week and he accepted to represent me. He explained to me based on his knowledge which case is more likely to be accepted and explained to me the timeline of the process. During case preparation and submission, I worked mainly with Ms. Kozyra who was very professional and organized, she prepared my cases in timely manner. She is very thorough and pays great attention to details. She kept me informed of all updates, required documents and provided me with very clear instructions on filling out and signing the required documents. Even after submitting the case, she made sure to reply to all my questions and concerns, keep me updated on the progress of my case with USCIS and she and Mr. Shihab provided me with amazing preparation for interviews. All immigration cases this firm handled for me where progressing really well. I interviewed for asylum few months after submitting the case but didn’t hear back from the officer after a year, however in the end waiving the two years home residency requirement and changing my residency status took shorter time to be approved (exactly what mr shihab told me during consultation) and I got my green card last month. I am very pleased to have picked this firm and I highly recommend them if you have a true and honest immigration case. Finally I just want to thank everyone who I worked with from this firm starting from the first person I got in touch with (Miriam), Mr. Shihab, Ms. Kozyra, Kimberly, Mr. Ashmore and of course the bringer of good news (Yasellin) they are all amazing and they really made me feel like family and I wish you all the best of luck!

Words cannot describe my experience with Shihab and Associates! Although I live in Chicago, which is full of immigration law firms, I decided to retain their law firm, based in Columbus, to represent me in my Asylum case after I had read their excellent reviews online! Since day one, they welcomed ...me with arms wide open! I was depressed and frustrated because of the situation in my home country of Libya, and out of my fear of the destiny that would face both me and my family if forced to go back there and leave the US! Shihab helped me understand the process from the very beginning! They accommodated me by having one of their Arabic speaking paralegals communicate with me about my case! That made this complicated process very simple for me! At first, I thought that I didn’t have much evidence until they guided me in the right direction! They told me exactly what the process requires and reminded me of many things that I had forgotten about! They translated my detailed affidavit from Arabic into English for no additional charge, and they closely examined each and every document and report I provided them with! They even asked me to go ahead and request additional reports to better prove my case! They made the signature process very easy for me! I signed all the forms from the convenience of home! They prepared the case very well! As a result, USCIS accepted my case, set a biometrics appointment, interviewed me, and approved my case within less than two months! They prepared me extensively for the interview which made the real one very simple and took the stress out of it! Attorney Shihab was very generous and quoted me a very decent fee when taking my situation into consideration! They changed my life for the better! My family and I are very grateful for Shihab & Associates! I will apply for my green card with them soon! Thank you Attorney Shihab, Bishr, and the all the team of Shihab for everything!
