I am grateful for Shilpa and her team in helping me navigate my J1 Waiver, H1B Visa, and employment-based Green Card application. I am happy to report that my wife and I received our Green Cards recently and that the whole process was seamless. Communication was always quick and thorough; Shilpa and her team were always available to answer any questions/concerns I had throughout the process. It took nearly 5 years to get to where we are, and I am fortunate to have had VisaNation on my side.

I've used VisaNation's services for H1B, green card and miscellaneous consultations. Atty. Malik and her team is top notch and really care about your case. Much better service and attention than the top tier (and expensive) law firms that my employers have used.

I highly recommend Visa Nation for your H1B EB2 immigration needs. I worked with them for both applications and they are nothing short to excellence. They made sure all so documents filled out were accurate.They worked with me every step of the way to understand what was needed and to complete each stage pro-actively. When other lawyers discouraged me to even start this process, they instead encouraged me and helped me believe in the process and in my abilities. They are a great team. Thank you Visa Nation! I am a 100 % satisfied customer

I am sincerely grateful for the outstanding immigration services of Ms Shilpa Malik, Steve and the rest of the team to my case. My road from H1B to Green card and now as a citizen of the United States was not easy but Ms Shilpa and Steve made it possible. When all hopes are gone, and no lawyer would want to handle my case, only Ms Shilpa was there to help. The first time I spoke to Ms Shilpa I felt her care to my situation and wasted no time in processing my case. Her expertise, in-depth knowledge of immigration laws and her dedicated team made it all possible. Their strategic approach, unwavering commitment coupled with their benevolence and assurance helped a lot not only in my case but also in my daily living and waiting for the outcome. My family and I are very thankful to have come across their law firm and continue to get their services in bringing us all together. I wholeheartedly and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking immigration help.

Grateful to the team at VisaNation. They handled my H1B application. It got approved fast without any RFE. My company and I use them for my employment green card, and they did an excellent job throughout the process. Steve and Shilpa were helpful and quick in answering all my questions & updating me on the case. I went to the office to get my physical green card. Shilpa and Steve were welcoming. I will use them for my citizenship application & highly recommend anyone looking for a competent law firm to use them for their immigration journey. Isa

Shilpa Malik from the SGM Group has been helping me on various immigration related issues around my H1B visa for the past few years. Having dealt with other major immigration law firms in the past, I can certify that Shilpa is one of the most professional and knowledgable immigration attorneys around. Sometimes the difference between success and failure in immigration cases is only the persistence and diligence of your immigration attorney, and Shilpa has proven time and again her diligence and attention to detail in preparing immigration cases. I highly recommend her.
