I contacted Gus Shihab to handle my immigration case. With his extensive and up to date knowledge on the immigration laws, Gus clearly explained all the options I had and he always made sure that I clearly understood all my options. He personally handled my case and provided an exceptional legal service and got the approvals. Gus is always prompt in responding to queries in emails on time which is an exceptional quality which is very rare in most of the other attorneys i have worked with. I would definitely recommend Gus Shihab for any one who needs an outstanding legal service.
For our organization Gus and his office have personally handled four different E2 renewals two AOS and thanks to the hard work at Shihab and Associates my wife and I are pending on Permanent Residency. I am currently retaining Gus for the formation of a new company and in discussion of two L1 applications. This firm works at a world class level with a success track record that is second to none. I would without hesitation recommend "The Law Firm of Shihab and Associates" to any person and invite anyone who would like to ask specific questions on my feedback to contact me directly at any time.

Thanks to Gus and his diligence now I have the US citizenship. From the outset, he identified some of the key issues in the case that could have been a major roadblock including the 90 day residence issue. I was then given a strategy to prove the 90 day presence using hard evidence. As we then prepared to file my application, I used his online portal to capture data for my application. The data was then thoroughly reviewed and the application was then prepared and filed with the utmost levels of professional standards. He then kept me informed throughout the process timely about any communications from the government. Finally, he identified the softest issue in the application process and devised a response which proved strong at the time of the interview. My case required a high degree of legal competence and the tools he employed helped in the positive outcome.
Gus was very effective getting my applications through all the required processes. He is very meticulous, detail oriented and timely. He and his team followed all the necessary steps, never missed deadlines, expedited the procedures and made sure everything submitted was perfect down to the smallest detail. Gus is wonderful not only as a professional but also as a friend and coach, makes the psychological factor of going through the applications much easier and less stressful. In summary, a great lawyer and individual.
I retained the services of Attorney Shihab twice. My case was challenging from the get go due to complex corporate structure my business. I found Attorney Gus Shihab to be exceptionally competent, timely, pleasant and honest. He was able to pool all the various business professionals who worked on my business including om corporate lawyers, to economists and business partners and made it happen. I just received approval for my second extension and could not be happier. I also recommended my brother to retain his services for a separate business and Attorney Gus Shihab was able to secure an E-2 visa for him as well.
I had a great experience with G.M. Shibab, He was very efficient, detailed oriented and highly professional. I highly recommend him for anyone who is facing immigration issues.
Our company is working exclusively with Shihab Law for five years. The results are impressive for all our H-1B, L-1A and Employment Based Immigrant petitions. For myself, Shihab's office handled my initial L-1A application so i can establish the first branch of our USA expansion. Later on Shihab's office extended my L-1A and then handled my Employment Based Immigrant Visa application too which concluded with receiving my green card in a very reasonable timeline considering COVID impact. I have the first hand experience working with Mr Shihab and his excellent team. During the course of five years Shibab law gained our full confidence, in respect with their deep knowledge of the immigration laws, their clear understanding about USCIS's implementation of those laws, their excellent communication with USCIS offices, their strong work ethic and forthcoming approach. I frankly admit that we made a mistake once trying to work with another firm for petitions seemed low hanging fruits then ended up in disaster. Shihab Law is competitive but not cheap although worth every penny you spent especially when negative results maybe life changing and costly for your company. I strongly recommend Shihab Law.
Me and my wife have worked with Attorney Gus Shihab and his associates for our green cards and other immigration needs over a decade. He and his whole staff are very friendly and professional and treated us like family. Attorney Gus Shihab is probably one of the best immigration attorney in the country and you can trust him completely with all your immigration needs. We could not have been happier for him to represent us in our immigration process and we highly recommend him.
My wife and I hired attorney Shihab to file suit against the USCIS after they denied her citizenship application. To our shock the USCIS claimed that my wife’s green card was issued in error. She was a beneficiary on my employment based green card. USCIS alleged that my wife was not in valid status when she filed her derivative I-485 due to the fact that she was waiting on a project while on H-1B visa with her own employer. Mr. Shihab sued and filed a complaint against the USCIS in Federal Court in Virginia. To our amazement, the USCIS worked with Attorney Shihab and reissued my wife’s green card. Now the green card has been properly issued, the case was dismissed and settled with the USCIS. We will be applying for naturalization using Mr. Shihab’s firm. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Shihab was attentive, competent and guided us for the interview and responses to the USCIS. We truly consider him a friend. We highly recommend him and his team for your immigration issues.
Mr. Shihab saved me from deportation due to a felony conviction. My case was very complicated, but Mr. Shihab was fully on top of all the details. At the hearings before the immigration judge, Mr. Shihab exemplified what it means to be a top tier advocate. He was very knowledgeable of the law, and appealed to a sense of justice that led to a favorable ruling. He is an excellent lawyer.
