Breaks all deadlines

Inna doesn’t answer emails or phone calls for a weeks. Breaks all deadlines.

Excellent Services

Inna is one of the best lawyers I've ever met and worked with. I've known Inna for a long period of time and she is very professional and is always willing to help. Inna is very passionate in helping others and I would definitely recommend her services to anyone who is looking for a professional ass...istance at the timely manner.Inna was very helpful with my case and was there for us in every step of the process in getting my green card. It was a pleasure to work with her and it's definitely no the last time we are using her services and expertise in her field. Thank you Inna!

MICROBIOLOGIST

Inna Shapovalov is an exceptional professional lawyer. In 2015 USCIS denied all my brother and sisters (Total 4) legitiamate application for I-130 petition for Alien Relative. I was a US citizen and filled I-130 petition for my brothers and sisters in 2011. We submitted all our primary and secondary ...evidences to establish and prove our relationship. After submitting all required genuine documents submitted time to time, all on a sudden USCIS one day sent the denial letter stating that this documents may be fraudulent activity to establish siblings relationship and hence USCIS director made a decision to deny all the applications. The situation was like a severe thunderstorm for me and I felt to hire a good lawyer. I contacted several lawyer and couldn't made them understand that my sibling relationship is genuine and the supporting documents like delayed birth registration certificate in Bangladesh is also correct and not fake. Finally, through one of my friend I was able to meet Inna Shapovalov. She did a face to face cool hearing with me and went through all my paper works, documents and USCIS denial letters. After almost an hour, she looked at me and asked all the documents are genuine or not . Please tell me honestly. I answered yes, these are genuine. Then she said I will fight for you. ----SHE STARTED MY CASE URGUMENTS/BRIEFS/MOTIONS--- Her step by step justification with facts and documents to establish our sibling relationship finally could convince the USCIS officers and in one month all my brothers and sisters I-130 application was approved from denial status. Thanks God and Attorney Inna Shapovalov. Inna is a pleasant personality to work with as your layer. She has vast historical/political knowledge for lot of countries like Bangladesh and that made her to win. She made all the great USCIS officers convinced by showing a UNICEF report 2006 showing that birth registration was only started after 2006. USCIS had a doubt that why we submitted birth certificate after so long time after our birth and thinking that these are fake. This report was a bullet for USCIS officers and they had to approve my cases. It was beyond my satisfaction.

Thanks for your help all time !

There are absolutely no words to describe how good our experience has been dealing with Inna Shapovalov. She helped us to get our green card even though some other lawyers wouldn't even take my case because they said there is nothing I could do.

Horrible attorney

After she got our money she became practically impossible to reach. Would go days without any type of response from her, her partner, or anyone in office.
