My name is Shobhana Kasturi and I am a proud first generation immigrant. I am practicing immigration law to give voice to those who need it the most. I arrived in this country as a teenager and saw my parents work 10 hour days to raise my brother and I. I witnessed my parents (who were in their mid forties and fifties respectively when they arrived in the United States) make the sacrifices to keep a roof over our heads, educate and provide for us. I know what it means to have gone through consular processing, the interview pertaining to getting an immigrant visa, studying for the citizenship test, and going through the naturalization process. I know what it feels like to adjust to a new culture and environment. Most importantly, I understand the pride and joy of having an opportunity to reside in the United States and build a life here.. My personal experiences as an immigrant led me to choose a career in law to make a difference. I have spent part of my career representing children in juvenile court and also represented clients facing dire financial hardships. I have worked in a non-profit organization as well in larger law firms. I started my own firm because I want each and every client to know they count and will get the attention they deserve. In me, you will find someone who enjoys helping people and someone who is committed to making a positive impact. Outside of my professional life, I also am involved in volunteering (legal and non-legal) within the surrounding community. Service and giving back is very important to me..

Firm: SwagatUSA, LLC

2551 N Clark St , Chicago , Illinois 60614

Practice Areas: Immigration

I first came to this country when I was 10 years old from India along with my family. At the time, I was far too young to know or appreciate the significance of the experience that I was facing. I knew only that I wanted to see snow.. Quickly as I moved, I realized that there were so many things that were new and different about the United States. I started asking questions about our own traditions and learning more deeply about myself and my heritage through these questions. Like many young immigrants, I was also bullied by some classmates. These experiences made an impact and made me respect and honor the journey that immigrants face when they decide to move from a place and country that is familiar to a place and country that is entirely new.. I decided to go to law school because to me, learning the law was very empowering. Through the legal system, we get the protections and the rights that are provided to each individual in the United States. However, until we learn it, it seems scary and difficult to comprehend. I wanted to understand the legal system to learn the rules of our country.. After graduating from Loyola University Chicago School of Law, I realized that I needed to help empower other immigrants who are also faced with the enormous challenge and possibilities opened by moving to a new and unfamiliar country.. To this day, it is this passion that drives me each and every day. Watching my clients succeed gives me strength. To this success, I am committed. I am also committed to creating the type of law firm that supports clients in achieving their immigration goals and looks beyond just an “application” or a “case” but in context of the individuals for whom the case is handled. One that makes immigrants feel accepted, honored, and empowered. With this in mind, I decided to name my law firm, SwagatUSA. “Swagat” means “welcome” in Sanskrit.. Passionate about immigration law and assisting immigrants in achieving their goals. I believe that there are no simple immigration cases and every immigration case begins with a STRATEGY.
