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.

Ms

We hired Ms. Shilpa Shaw in order to expedite and manage our K-1 immigration case. At all times and during each important juncture of the process, Ms Shaw handled our case with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. We found Ms Shaw to be incredibly knowledgeable, efficient and importantly, engagin...g throughout the entire process. It is my belief that our application was successful due to Ms Shaw's follow through and at all times keeping on top of any notices which were handled correctly. She also cares about her clientele and goes above and beyond to ensure that facts and the process were relayed and/or responded to in a timely manner and discussed thoroughly with us as well as provide input. We both have the highest recommendation for Ms Shaw and do so without reservation.

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.

Fiance Visa

I hired Shilpa Shah in October 2015 to help me bring my fiancé to the USA. She was every easy to get a hold of and very professional and friendly to work with. She clearly explained all of our options and then gave us a step by step plan of how the process worked and what to expect moving forward. Sh...e was straight forward and made the process very easy for us. Our whole case was processed unusually fast and it took only 9 months from the day we filed for my fiancé to come to america, us to be married and then for him to get his green card! Shilpa helped us through every step of this process, which made it so easy for us to known that everything was being done the correct and legal way. I would recommend her 100%

Incredible Immigration Lawyer: Best in the West!

I hired Shilpa Shah to do the impossible and that was process one Philippine female and one male Philippine to work in a remote town in North Texas in a small hospital navigating itself thru bankruptcy. She worked with our hospital in the midst of being at risk for payment and completed all the nece...ssary paperwork and approval in a timely and most ethical manner. In fact, she came behind a previous attorney who probably "stole the hospital's money" in such a sloppy manner that was ethically questionable. She is an incredible woman, lawyer and friend of your institution. In 42 years of healthcare and consulting - her work for us was the best experience of my career. She does not take any shortcuts nor risk anything that is not truthful nor honest. She is a great example of a lawyer who places her ethics, principles and values above all else. There are not enough words to describe how impressed you will be with her from the first phone call or meeting. I hold her in the highest esteem and respect. By the way, I dislike reviews and how they may sound or appear but I urge you to believe every word of our gratitude and hard work of Shilpa.
