3. Marriage Petition 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.

4. Removal of Conditional Residence based on marriage and divorce (Form I-751) 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.

5. Parents 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.Peerally and 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."KiyoImportant: The testimonials or endorsements on this website do not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of your legal matter.

7. Another Parent’s Petition I would like to recommend the Law Offices of Shah Peerallywww. 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. Peerallyguided 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 !ThanksDipti Important: The testimonials or endorsements on this site do not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of your legal matter.

11. Delayed Citizenship issue solved! "On Dec. 29, 05, my wife and I were interviewed. They awarded my wife oath and citizenship then and there, but they told me that they had not received my FBI background check clearance then, therefore suggested me to wait. I have been living in the US for over 21 years now, I guess at FBI my file was red-flagged for manual process, that means at the bottom of huge pile--easily 5-6 years wait period. After 6 months, I called a couple of attorneys to get advice; they suggested I could not do anything but wait. I contacted local congressman for assistance. After 12 months, I wrote a letter to the director FBI; his office did not even bother replying. I kept calling USCIS periodically, but got the same answer, "We cannot process your case until we get clearance from the FBI, it is a law." I guess I had no choice but wait. Almost 18 moths passed by, one night in mid August 2007, I discussed my matter with Shah Peerally in a close family friends dinner invited by a common friend. Shah told me that he already had successfully won 7 cases through the court; so he advised me to file a law suit. Late August 07, I submitted papers and hired his law office as my attorney. Early Sept. 07, Peerally Law Office my file was transferred from San Francisco to Sacramento court, because I live in that jurisdiction. Oct 17, USCIS decided to adjudicate, hence the case was withdrawn. Within 50 days, my case got adjudicated, and I attended oath ceremony on Nov. 27, 2007 -- almost after 2 years of my interview. His office corresponded the USCIS via email and stood atop, and kept me informed. I am glad that I filed a law suit with Peerally, otherwise I might had to wait 3-5 more years."S.
