When we were betrayed by an immigration attorney and losing a lot of money we became so frustrated didnt know where to go we hard Shah on TV explaining about immigration and green card so we called and made an appointment to see him, after we met him we felt so confident and gave all required documents with a very reasonable amount of fee in April of this year 2011 and now we have our green card in hand, we were blessed to have him as our attorney and highly recommend him for his professional and honest work. I would like to thank Shah, Hassan and Sony and God bless you all.

Great Immigration Advice

Shah Peerally has assisted me with his excellent Immigration advice which has helped me with my Custody case and I am really thankful to him.. Great going Shah, thank you for the immigration advice. It really helped. Keep up the good work that you do !! Sheetal

Self-Incorporated H1B

I have dealt with many lawyers before and none has impressed me like Hasan. I am one of those I.T. geeks who has a full-time H1B visa from one company and needed a part-time visa in order to work for a different company. The first lawyer I contacted was very unhelpful. The legal profession is not my domain and it is always very helpful if you have someone who can guide you through the legal maze. The first lawyer was totally uncooperative and outright condescending. I vividly remember picking up a phone book and looking for an immigration attorney and that is how I found Mr. Abdullah. Yes, it was a lot of work – the paperwork needed was immense but finally it all paid off.

VAWA Petition

Mr. Shah, I got permanent green card in the mail today. Everything went well .Let me thank you and express my gratitude for all the efforts that you put in to getting my case resolved and settled. It took you less than a year to get my VAWA case approved and have my I485 approved with the green card in my hand. I cannot thank you enough for the splendid job you have done. The support and the reassurance that everything will be fine, was not just something told to me by a lot of attorneys. I had an occasion to come in touch with a large number of attorneys in the US during my past life. The attorneys I am referring to are by all means very senior people in their profession. However, I have absolutely no hesitation in saying that the professional prudence that I discovered in you, surpasses everyone else’s. From emailing to calling you in odd hours were always warmly welcomed by you. This quality alone is something which your and only your office possesses and sets you far above anyone else. I will be accurately liberal in referring to you as ‘The Attorney’ whenever I talk about legal services to my friends. Nothing that I have said in the foregoing is either an exaggeration or outburst of pleasant emotion in the light of my case getting approved. Believe me all I have said is correct. Thank You Shah for all your help to give me a new life, I could not thank you enough for all your dedication and work you put into my case, now that I look back I know it was not easy but thank you for making me believe in your work and I am proud to say that I was lucky to have you as my Attorney. Thank you, Atousa

Successful USC 1447(b) case

I went to see Shah because my citizenship was pending for a year. He was welcoming and helpful. It took just a couple months to get it resolved. I was really impressed by Mr. Shah’s service. He responded immediately to inquiries, and did not forget and disregard them. I will definitely recommend him to all my friends and colleagues, and use him again in the future… He did all the things required, and did not need reminders from me. I got my case settled and resolved with great easiness. I passed out his flyers in the mosque. My oath date is coming up very soon without any hassles with going to court. I am glad to use him again to file for my fiancee and get the same great service. Sajid

Business Visitor Visa Extension

Hasan has been a shiny day after a storm of catastrophic lawyers that I had been recommended by friends. I found his firm through a forum link recommending his firm for EB-2 NIW and outstanding Avvo ratings. I was not disappointed. My situation is I entered the US on a B-1 and the (confused) CBP granted only 30 days vs 6 months requested, and a “No Extension of Status” bonus on my I-94. I initially approached Hasan to consider a delicate change of status to EB-2 NIW. He responded in a very timely fashion and after meeting, rightfully evaluated that it was not a possible path. But Hasan later outlined that he could do an extension of status in spite of the “No EOS” mark on my I-94. He guided me through filling the case diligently, and took great care in the file and did not let aside any details, to the contrary of other lawyers I have dealt with in the past. Against odds and the opinion of my previous lawyer, the extension was approved. I have only two words: Thank You -Tarik A.

H-1B for High Tech Worker

Hasan, I just wanted to let you know that I got my H1B visa from the US Embassy in my country. They also stated that because you did such a good job with the filing process, I was able to get it the very next day. Thanks for doing an excellent job. Note from our office: This H1B petition required more work than usual, since we had to combine experience with an Associates degree, along with supporting evidence of relevant expertise to establish that the candidate had the equivalent of a Bachelor’s degree.

Difficult I-751 removal case.

I went to see Shah last year. After having been with another attorney for the past 3 years, I was desperate, my I-751 - conditional residence- was pending and was divorced with my husband. I have to say that I was in a really abusive relationship. My ex husband and his family made my life a nightmare since the day I came to the US. Yet, I tried to be a “good wife” accepting all their abuses. Finally I could not take it anymore. I filed for divorce. At that point I was on conditional residence. My previous attorney, unfortunately filed an incomplete waiver for me to remove this conditional residence. This application as I said was incomplete and they send me a long Request for Evidence. I went to see Shah to ask for a second opinion. He was great, he took my case and told me that he will help me. And he did. He first answered the Request for Evidence, preparing a very good answer and also he told me that I was eligible to file for citizenship. I listened to him so he filed a citizenship for me. Six months later, they called me for an interview on the Citizenship which I passed but because of the pending I-751 did not get the right to take the oath. Then one month later, I was called for an I-751 interview, which I should admit was very tough. After the interview, I was ready to pack my bag and go back home. Shah told me not to worry, I have a good case and he is ready to fight for me. I listened to him. Two weeks later, we received the letter from the USCIS to come and take the Oath on April 10, 2007. I just COULD NOT BELIEVE IT! I told Shah that until I get the certificate in my hand I will still not believe it. On April 10th 2007, I took the Oath. I got my certificate and just applied for my passport. Nothing that I can say will ever come close to the amount of gratitude I have for Shah. He is a good person, nice and personally support you all the way. Not only he treats everybody more than a client, he actually give so much of himself. Shah -I owe you so much. Thank you. God Bless you. Rabia.

Writ of Mandamus

“I was in a desperate situation when I approached Mr. Shah. I had applied for adjustment of status (I-485) through marriage to a US citizen more than a year ago… My case was being bounced around by USCIS from the National Service Center to California several times. USCIS offered me no explanation, in spite of numerous calls to their toll free number. I even visited San Francisco USCIS office multiple times with an InfoPass , and the only think I heard was that my case was wither stuck in a “name-check” or was in the process of being transferred. I had heard Mr. Shah’s name mentioned in a couple of immigration forums and that is when I decided to approach Peerally Law. Mr. Shah Peerally at Peerally law suggested me to petition for a Writ of Mandamus and we did. I got my I-485 interview notice with in two months. Peerally Law ensured that I had one of their attorney’s present during the interview and it was a huge morale boost for us since we were scared that USCIS may retaliate due to the Writ of Mandamus. The USCIS Officer told us that it was “stuck at the National Service Center”. My application was approved by the USCIS and I am waiting for the plastic card. I commend Mr. Shah’s plan of action and execution. I would highly recommend Peerally law. -Nagraj”

H1B for Startup!

I had the pleasure of meeting the professionals at the Peerally Law group in 2010. I explained to Shah how my situation was extremely delicate, not to mention short on time. I had recently graduated from a top University and saw my chances of maintaining my legal status growing dim in the job market. I felt like I had fallen through the cracks of Immigration law to be cast aside and forgotten. I was worried about starting my career in my home country of Panama where earning prospects are slim, but I found a great job just in the nick of time and the Peerally Law group helped me gain my work visa. Shah and Company mobilized a quick plan of action for me and even at the difficult and critical moments in the process, SP Law was there, on top of the situation always knowing what to do next. They understood the hardships of my case, namely, that the company which was looking to hire me was less than a year old. This presented some challenges for the case but they never hesitated to lend a hand. I am forever grateful for their hard work and expertise. In just a half year, my life turned around and now I’m doing better than I ever imagined. I am so happy to join the United States work force and help this great country get back on the right track producing goods and being competitive from a manufacturing standpoint. Peerally Law really saved me and took great care in handling my case so i want to send a big THANKYOU to them all! -Derek Urrutia

Success Stories

Several of our clients come to consult us after their respective representatives were unable to help them. Below are only few cases where we have been successful. We have hundreds more of great results: 1. Client Aicha came to see us in a complicated family based petition. Aicha consulted five different attorneys who advised her either to leave the country or to file for asylum as her only two choices. We took Aicha case and within 8 months, Aicha was able to get a work permit and will soon be getting her permanent residence card. 2. Client Lara came to see us regarding a labor certification. We prepared the PERM case and after the prescribed advertising time, we filed for the PERM Labor Certification. Within two days, Lara’s case was approved. Because of the jump in priority dates, client Lara and her husband are both eligible for a greencard. 3. Client H, has desperately been waiting on an RIR Labor Certification for 3 years. We advised client H to file for PERM because he has an immediate visa available for him under EB2 category. We filed client’s H PERM and within 10 days, the PERM was approved. Client H and his family received their LPR cards approximately 2 months later. 4. Danielle came to see us on an I-751 (Removal of conditinal residence through waiver) case pending for many years. She spent a lot of money with many attorneys who just would not help her or did not know how to help her. Danielle’s case was denied several times. We took the case in August 2006. We were able to obtain a temporary I-551 stamp on Danielle case and on around February 2007, we obtained an approval on the removal of conditional residence. Please read her testimony. 5. Client Amir came to our office after his citizenship oath date was delayed. Amir passed the English and History test yet was delayed because of Security Check for almost a year. Amir was desperate because his wife was depenfdant on him to obtain status. We filed a Writ of Mandamus and a Civil Action under USC 1447(b).

Parents\' Petition

I would like to recommend the Law Offices of Shah Peerally www.peerallylaw.com/ for the parent(s) green card processing. I hired them for my mother’s green card processing (California) and got the green card in a little over 5 months, without having to go for an interview. The interview is usually waived if the documentation that is mailed in is precise and complete. My answer to the (anticipated) question of – Why did you hire an attorney, is the process not simple? … I am aware that a lot of people file for this processing without an attorney and are successful in processing the green card. A couple of my close friends ran into one glitch or the other in the recent times, which took them well over 18 months. Not wanting to risk this and also not having the bandwidth to follow up the paper work, the law changes, I decided to hire an attorney. I asked for recommendations on this list and another Oracle employee recommended Mr. Peerally. I talked to a few other attorneys as well. I found Mr. Peerally’s fees to be competitive. I found out that some attorneys charge their hourly rate if you want them to go for the interview with you. Mr. Peerally’s fees include the interview appearance and also the mock-interview in his office. To talk with an attorney, some Law Offices asked me to mail in a consultation check ( which ranged from $80 to $250 ). Mr. Peerally was gracious to take my first call, outline the process and answer some of my specific questions. I was impressed with his friendly attitude and the depth of his knowledge and decided to hire him. During our first meeting in his office, we went over the specifics of the case, the documentation that would be required. He outlined the potential problems that may arise (specifically to do with the name changes in the Marathi community ), he outlined the potential solutions. They gave me a list of doctors for the medical. I mailed this documentation to their office. During the second meeting they had the packet put together and ready to go after our signatures. He had the documentation in there for most of the anticipated problems – which I think made a big difference in the processing time. The process did run into a hiccup – USCIS could not get legible finger prints for my mother – she did the fingerprinting three times. To get around this, they asked us to submit a criminal clearance. Mr. Peerally guided us very well through the process, which required getting precise documentation from India in addition to the California clearance. All through the process, Mr. Peerally and his office staff were prompt on the email. They kept me informed about the next step, anticipated time frame and also guided us through the SSN application, State Id, DL applications. I would recommend this law firm ! Thanks Dipti

Removal of Conditional Residence (Form I-751)

Hi Shah, I would like to thank you for all of your help with my case. Over the past several years I have consulted dozens of lawyers and have had no reconciliation to my status. In fact, many of these lawyers flatly told me that I had no case and should just return to my home country. For nearly a decade, I lived in a constant state of uncertainty. When I met with you last August, I had all but given up. You were very reassuring to me and I sensed that you truly understood my frustration. What struck me most was your in-depth knowledge of the law. I had never received this compassion or intelligent poise from any other law firm I contacted. In fact, the only thing these other “professionals” seemed interested in was money. I now have my permanent green card thanks to you and I will be forever grateful. It has been such a long, stressful journey that I sometimes cannot believe that it’s finally over. But it is, and it is because of your hard work. I wish you continued success and all the happiness that life can offer. You are truly providing an important service. I wish all lawyers shared your integrity. Sincerely, Danielle

A Unique Story

To whom it may concern: 1994, my new Thai wife Kangana and my step daughter May and I were thrilled! We had just been married in Thailand and were very happy. I had steady employment as well as Khan. In 1996 this all changed suddenly. The collapse of the Asian economy had come. No work for me but to teach English to students for $5.00 a day and Khan lost her job as well. No problem I explained to my new family! You are now married to an AMERICAN! We can move to the states any time we want to. I’ll go to the embassy tomorrow! I did and was I in for a shock. I found out I was nothing but a second class citizen for marrying a foreigner. It took us 6 years, thousands of dollars, letters and phone calls to the governor of my state and my wife and me being treated like a traitor and a terrorist to get just a vacation visa. After we finally got to the states I realized I needed help to cut through the lies, red tape and misinformation the immigration department willfully extends to immigrant family’s trying the legal waters for themselves. I was fortunate enough to see Shah Peerally’s ad on the internet. I called the phone number and to my surprise Shah himself answered. After about a 20 minute chat of our circumstances, Shah assured me he could help our family and that is just what happened. After meeting with Shah and his team they took care of EVERYTHING including keeping us on track and on time with court appearances, depositions, paperwork and just everything! Shah’s team, coupled with his experience in immigration is what you need if you are on the right side of the law and want the best to represent you and your family. I can think of no better recommendation than Shah Peerally and firm for help in immigration or other legal areas. Shah takes every case personally as well as professionally. Their actions secured my family’s documentation, entry and road to American citizenship and ultimately our ability to move on and live our lives as normal human beings. Very sincerely David B. Oliver Industrial engineer and American citizen

PERM Labor Certification/I-140

I have engaged Shah’s law firm to represent me for employment based permanent residency. So far I am extremely happy with the professional commitment shown by Shah in dealing with my case. I had a quick approval of my PERM. He was very helpful and proficient in dealing with my I140 RFE. Unlike many other immigration lawyers, I found Shah as a honest, knowledgeable and committed law attorney. Best part is that, in spite of all the qualities Shah has, he is very affordable. I would highly recommend Shah to anybody seeking any expert help in immigration matters. Thank you Shah for helping me so far. I wish you all the very best. -Rakesh

Mother\'s Petition

I applied for family based permanent residency on behalf of my mother; I filled out the form by myself without knowing exactly how it should be done. Then, my mother came out to visit me. That was when I wondered about the possibility of her obtaining permanent residency without her actually leaving the US. I, then, searched on the internet and found Mr. Peerally there. He was very nice, friendly, and personable. Do not let his young appearance fool you! He is very competent and reliable. His staff prepared paperwork and mailed it in late June, my mother got her fingerprint done in the middle of August, she received her work authorization card in September, and finally we went through the interview (due to the fact that my mother asked for a change of status after she came to the US), in late October. Of course, she got it. It was such a speedy process. Mr.Peerallyand his trustworthy staff members were always there to assist me and my mother whenever we had questions and concerns. We would not have been able to undertake this ordeal without his help and presence. If this was eBay, I would leave such feedback as “A+++++++ best lawyer to do business with! Good communication and fast service and delivery. Very reasonable price. Highly recommended.” Kiyo
