Shefali Chhabria

Office Manager

As someone who passed through the immigration system as an adult, from obtaining a visa to securing U.S. citizenship, Shefali is well-equipped to work with NorthShore Immigration Law’s clients on a daily basis, fielding dozens of phone calls, while switching between three different languages. A lawyer is often judged by the success of her cases. A company such as NorthShore Immigration Law, with thousands of clients from different walks of life, backgrounds, cultures, religions, and countries, is judged by more than the outcomes of any particular case. The ability to grow, build, and take root within a community of immigrants requires empathy, cultural sophistication, flexible thinking, and an inherent desire to want to know and help another in need.

Shefali brings these qualities to NorthShore Immigration Law. She has built a reputation for over 10 years, slowly building trust one client at a time. Today, a majority of NorthShore Immigration Law’s clients are referrals - there is no greater compliment than a satisfied client recommending NorthShore Immigration Law to his or her contacts.

Shefali has observed and studied the U.S. immigration system. Because she has an innate drive to continue learning, Shefali has, working in conjunction with counsel, successfully coordinated the submission of thousands of immigration submissions to USCIS in areas as diverse as immigrant visas, nonimmigrant visas, citizenship petitions, work visas, family-based petitions, naturalization applications, EB-5 investor visas, affirmative asylum applications, defensive asylum applications with the immigration courts, and much more.
