Highly Recommended

Shilpa was very knowledgeable in immigration law. Any question or concern we had, she was always there to promptly answer. She was always on top of our case. We always felt like we were in good hands with her. Highly recommended.

The best, hands down!

My husband’s case was pretty straight forward, so we filed on our own only to find out we had misinterpreted the law and he in fact committed visa fraud. Long story short, we were granted the opportunity to file for an extreme hardship waiver. When we received the official notice we were given 30 day...s to file, so we felt it would be best to find a lawyer. After reading reviews, I decided to consult Shilpa. During the consult, she told us that this was an unusually short period of time to file, and most people are given at least 90 days. She was willing to take on our case if we were willing and able to work hard and fast along with her. Shilpa put in a lot of long hard hours helping us to compile 3 affidavits (one of which was 14 pages long), a statement, medical records, and her argument in 2 weeks from the date of our consultation. She happily worked with us via email and phone due to our short timeframe. After it was all said and done, a huge weight was off our shoulders. She told us to not expect an answer for around a year, but that we may hear back a bit sooner. Surprisingly, we were notified by USCIS less than a month later that they had approved the waiver. My husband and I could not be happier with the service and professionalism provided to us by Shilpa. I highly recommend her to anyone needing help with immigration.

Great Job

I hired Shilpa for assistance with my fiancee who lived in Nigeria. She helped guide us through the legal process. We completed a Fiancee Visa, were married, and applied for permeant residence. The process was difficult and Shilpa helped make it go smoothly. She was available to answer questio...n. I highly recommend her for your immigration needs. She is passionate about her job.

Unlawful presence waiver

My husband and I were seeking advice to finish our immigration case ourselves after having a bad experience with our previous lawyer. Shilpa was honest, informative, and understanding from day one. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to immigration laws. We would recommend Shilpa and her staff an...y day.

Simply the best even in difficult cases.

I am a medical technologist and Shilpa is the one who processed my H1B visa to i140 immigrant petition. Despite of bankruptcy that my employer has been dealing with, she was able to make my I140 approved by USCIS which I know most lawyers would deny this type of case. She is very efficient, fair and ...approachable. I am very proud of her and will definitely recommend to everybody who needs her expertise.
