Shiv has practiced immigration law since 2007, with extensive experience in employment- and family-based immigrant and nonimmigrant visas. An Air Force veteran and son of an immigrant from India, Shiv grew up in Atlanta, GA and graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering. Upon graduation, Shiv was commissioned as an officer in the Air Force and began Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) in Arizona. He was awarded his Silver Wings and was selected to fly the F-16, which he flew at various locations throughout the world, including combat in Operations Desert Storm and Southern Watch. Shiv was then chosen for a T-38 Instructor Pilot assignment, training students in the advanced phase of Specialized UPT. After this, he transitioned to the Air Force Reserve, serving as an AT-38 Instructor Pilot and rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel while launching his legal career.
In addition to immigration law and appellate advocacy, Shiv’s law practice experience includes civil litigation, real property, family law, probate, wills and trusts and contracts. Shiv wrote the winning brief in Smith v. McDowell, 666 S.E.2d 94 (Ga. Ct. App. 2008), obtaining an important reversal of summary judgment on the issue of official immunity for public school employees in Georgia. The decision was subsequently affirmed by the Georgia Supreme Court in McDowell v. Smith, 678 S.E.2d 922 (Ga. 2009).
Shiv takes great satisfaction in helping clients achieve their immigration dreams in the “land of opportunity.” After all, Shiv has a first-hand appreciation of those dreams – his father immigrated from India and his wife is an immigrant from Thailand.
