I had to wait for my spouse to be in the US to start the green card process. Our case was well presented and Shah and his staff prepared my case very well. I recommend him anytime.

Working in the United States requires a minimum of a work visa, a work permit, a permanent residence card or being a US citizen. Work visas and work permits (also known as work authorization documents EAD) are not usually easy to obtain for many reasons, namely that they are usually based for most except a few on a valid job offer.

I was seeking a second opinion on my green card process and reached out to Mr. Shah on radio show. He answered my call in detail and provided advice on the matter to ensure I do not run any problem while in the last stage of my green card process. He also asked me to reach out to him for further advice to go in depth about the situation. I later contacted his office and got scheduled to talk to him next day only. He recognized me and discussed my case to ensure I won't have a problem switching employer while my green card date is current. I felt confident about my decision with his advice

Extremely rude and abrasive group of wanna be show off legal Eagles. Especially Silmi. More like slimy. Everything the other review mentioned about this cocky sob is truth. Read the other review.
Bias. Curt. They promise you the moon. Then never available.
Ask lots of questions. It's imperative. Recommend? Nope.
There's so many immigration attorneys out there. Shop around. You've been warned.

My wife and I worked with Jimmy Phavasiri at this firm and to say the experience was nothing but straight forward and pleasant would be an understatement. Our application process from application to approval was very smooth thanks to his guidance and preparation. He helped us though every step of the way and his friendly and helpful demeanor did wonders to remove our worries. He will come highly recommended!

Sharif Simli talks very nicely and will sell you his services during the consultation call by bragging about how he was successful in getting EB1 approved for cases that may be weaker than yours. But, once he gets the case it is very hard to reach him. He will ask you to gather documentation initially ut won't even start to draft the case until the last day of the deadline. I had to follow up for weeks on emails and phone to get the final copy of the submission and invoice of the services. Very unprofessional. If anyone from their office wants to follow up on this review, feel free to contact

ShahPeerally Law Group is one of the finest law firm I have encountered. The staff and the my attorney Jimmy and Sammy are very trustworthy and knowledgeable in immigration law. ShahPeerally is the place to go for all your legal (in my case, immigration) needs.
My case which was not a usual case but Sammy and Jimmy have handled it so diligently. The officer was so impressed with the application and documents filed that she recommended it for approval without any hesitation.
They are always available to me whenever I have any issue related to immigration with the latest update and hot topics.

I am a disappointment client of this service. I have been dealing with their irregularities for a while on two cases but the latest one has been frustrating.
For a service, I paid $7000, but I haven't even received any support or service worth $1000.. I am disappointed in myself for have agreed to pay that amount before and not even wait till they get through half the service.
Points that I want to raise and list:
The person assigned to me is not in West Coast so our timing doesn't match, I haven't met this guy.. there has been no meeting in person.. I think that is important

Jimmy Phavasiri on their team is the most racist immigration lawyer one can go to. He is a mole for the USCIS within the Shah PeerAlly Law Group. I went to him for my N400.He signed a G28 WITHOUT doing an intake, without reviewing the N400 and telling me apriori that he will ensure that the case is denied. He dared to me to ask for a fair interview, after the N400 interview.As soon as he realized he was going to accompany me to the interview, he went about in a systematic manner to undermine a clear case of immediate"recommended for approval".He went so far as to say,that he is NOT going

Mr.Shah is very knowledgeable and sharp with his solutions. The warmth and confidence with which Mr.Shah handled our case is unmatched. Our family was split apart for a few months due to an incorrect rejection of a dependent visa by the US consulate. Mr.Shah walked us thru the entire process until our reapplication to ensure that all went well. He provided all the necessart inputs for us to be fully equiped with our documentation. I consulted several immigration lawyers for my case and Mr.Shah was the ONLY ONE who was not after milking the client. He is sincere and treats you with respect. Thank

Mr Shah is indeed an expert in immigration. He provided all available options for our complex visa situation and recommended best suited to our need. I was new to the complex immigration process but he made it easy.
Answered all queries in detail and responded to follow up calls and emails.
In the end we were able to get a favorable response from USCIS, all thanks to Mr Shah

I filed a case I 130 for my brother and it was denies but not closed.I was told that i have the right to appeal. My uncle discussed the case with Shah Peerally and he charged us $150 for first consultation.We gave him all documents and he did not review and sent us the email that "we have a case for a motion to reopen or refilling"
When we told him that case is not closed and we have the right to appeal then, he said that he charges $ 3000 for such case.
He even did not read any of our document and charged us $150.
The advice we got for $ 150 was based on assumption with out reviewing

Shah and his team were very helpful to us. They have spent lot of time to look at our case. And they have provided legal counsel that is in our best interests. They also shared similar case studies to educate us. They haven't considered their financial interests or their fees and have been very truthful and helpful. Very rare to find such people of integrity these days. I definitely recommend him for all your legal/immigration services. For my future needs, I will count on him and his team for their expert advice.. 5 stars!!!

I hired two separate law firms to do duplicate work for me for a very important immigration matter. I explained clearly to this law firm that I was in a hurry, and that money was not an issue. In short, this law firm charged me extra, and then dropped the ball, didn't complete any of the work I hired them to do in a timely manner, and eventually issued me a partial refund because of this. Since I never saw their finished work product, I can't comment on that, but in short, if you want something done in a reasonable amount of time, find a different law firm
