Thank you MR GEHI and your team.

I got my green card after 15 years, after I was disappointed with my old lawyers (name withheld) I took my friends advise and appointed Mr. Gehi and his team, as soon as I stepped in and explained my case my Mr. Gehi assured me if I don't have any criminal issues I will get my green card in 6-8 month...s and I got it in 5 months , I just want to say he might be little more expensive but he is worth that he knows what his doing he is the best and very honest man thank you Mr. Gehi and your team.. ain hamza

Highly Recommended Trusted Service

The Law Offices of Naresh M Gehi are one of the most knowledgeable US Immigration Law firms. Naresh, Vaishali, and associate attorney Kristen have gone beyond their call of duty by helping me navigate through multiple unforeseen legal conundrums, e.g., multiple RFE's, intent to revoke H1B, USCIS site... inspector visits, change of ownership of greencard sponsor, etc. My case was by no means easy and it took the very experienced and professional Gehi Law firm to obtain my green card after 5 years. Naresh's demeanor is very pleasing, absolutely to-the-point. He is very trustworthy and sincere. His in-depth knowledge sees through the very complicated immigration process. His confident and consoling interpersonal style eased my anxieties and saved many headaches about the long process. His assistant, Vaishali, is a prompt communicator and handled all matters timely. They know what they are doing. I can recommend them to anyone, even those afflicted with very complicated USCIS dealings.

An Experienced Lawyer

It is our great pleasure working with Mr. Naresh Gehi, as he worked on our case with full of his dedication and loyalty, was always available to walk us through the every steps in our immigration related queries with USCIS. An experienced lawyer like him can put you at ease even before you try to pre...sent your case in front of him. We are so thankful to him and to Vaishali (paralegal) who have worked very well on all our cases with USCIS and have tried her best to get results in time. Thank you

Asset protection marrying a Northen Irishman

Mr Gehi was concise, professional and prompt during my initial consultation. He was one of the few lawyers who knew Northern Ireland was under common law. This would affect my pre- martial assets I have currently accumulated. He reminded me to get a USA pre-nup, before marriage. But he emphasized the... important of using a Northen Ireland attorney to set up asset protection under there law since they do not recognize USA pre- nup. Some countries with US treaties recognize pre- nup. He sugguested the most cost effective method . Have my fiance's Ireland attorney via online technology draw up the necessary documents to protect my pre- martial assets. He put my mind at ease giving the high divorce rate in America. He also showed a rare concern for women's ability to avoid poverty if divorced.

Atty. Gehi & Office staff very helpful

I sought Mr. Gehi's office in Ozone Park after much thought and was very satisfied with his knowledge about the details of how to tackle my case. One which I attempted on my own. Having realized the complications of my case, I hired Mr. Gehi on short notice. His office acted timely and I was succe...ssful. Today I am happy to be the holder of a Permanent Green Card. Not only has Mr. Gehi's office tackled my case, but this has also opened the doors of opportunity for me to make my life with my family more prosperous here in the U.S.A. - Thank you very much Mr. Gehi.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
