Got the result easily

Mr.Gehi not only handled our case but also made it a success. The da, we first went to him, we were apprehensive and confused. We were looking for someone who not only handles the case well but also communicates with us to make us feel at ease. We saw Mr. Gehi's program on ITV and felt that we should... contact him for our case. The people of the firm are very attentive to the client. One always feels very special when you are in a problem. The appointments are made easily. There isnt any long wait and not just that, inspite of the firm being so busy, Mr.Gehi would even give time out of his working hours if we ever felt the need to see him. The time from my wife’s visa extension to my citizenship and finally getting my wife a green card, we were frustrated with the time taken, which seemed too long to us by the immigration but we never had any complaints from Mr. Gehi's firm. In fact, we always felt that they were better prepared than us. Finally, we are happy with the way things went and are very thankful for all their effort. I am sure that every client of theirs feels the same way. I would highly recommend him to people who want their work to be done by an efficient attorney.

Happy ending..

I had been with a lawyer from new jersey for over 6 years and at the end of 7th year of my stay with the lawyer one day I figure out that my labor was denied and imagine what the reply was from my other lawyer "we don't know what happened and if the USICS declines your extension you have to leave the... country in 60 days.". Now tell me is this the answer that you expect from your lawyers after being charged 3000$ and that is over 5 years back. I checked USICS website and informed my lawyer in new jersey that my labour is denied and it was on August 1st and my 7th year extension is expiring in sept 30 2007. After really stressed out. I cannot explain stress in words, my jaws used to pain and i had a severe headache because things turned out so sour to me. I worked hard to be in the position that I am now. It was painful for over 45 days and the lawyer from new jersey had no answer for me for 50 days. What a shame and what a waste of time. We got some news about Mr Naresh Gehi and hired him as my attorney on Sept 25th. The first thing he did is take my case as his own and called USICS immediately and sorted out the issue after staying on call for 2 days with USICS and on Oct 15th my labor status was changed from denied to in process. The assistants to Mr Gehi were very helpful and they spoke to me in way that was very comforting and consoling rather than giving some lame answers. I applied for I140 on Dec 6th 07. To add to the drama my I140 had issues and multiple queries again Mr Gehi got on the call and sorted out the issues for me and I got my on march 30th and I got my GC on Aug 10th. In my personal opinion, please check your lawyer thoroughly and since Mr Gehi had done extraordinary job I had to rate him 5 of 5 on immigration issues. If you would definitely recommend Mr Gehi for anyone out there who had problems with Immigration. They people in his office talk the language you like to hear and at times words can be very comforting and actions speak louder than words and I got my GC in less than 9 months after going with him. I wish I had gone with him instead of the other lawyers I would have lot of peace of mind and a sense of security.

Dr. Parmar, MD

I want to take this opportunity to infrom the public about the outstanding job Mr. Naresh Gehi's firm performed for us. I live 1400 miles from New York in Louisiana and I hired a well known immigration lawyer from my own state to handle my wife's application for permanent residency. Since I am a US c...itizen, I thought that it would be a formality. 6 Months passed without any progress being made. I saw Mr. Gehi's show on the ITV network where he provided a great deal of useful information on the immigration process. I was wary at first since I did not live in New York and was concerned if he could handle my case from such a long distance. But when I called, he immediately put me at ease with his pleasant demeanor and knowledge of the process. He gave me a clear concise list of papers that I needed to provide which I mailed to his office. He gave me estimates of how long it would take for the application to be accepted. Every time parameter that he gave was accurate. He said it would take 3 months to get a work permit, 3 months after that for our interview and 3 months after that to the green card. His predictions were correct nearly to the day. We recently received the green card for my wife and are thankful to Mr. Gehi and his very pleasant staff.
