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.

absolute overhyped!!

If i could give him negative marks, i would!!!! he talks great talk but absoultely is ZERO on follow up!!! his para legal are absoultely horrible and do not follow up on anything. you can ask them anything about your case and they have no clue!! will give every excuse possible. please do not go to ...gehi just because he will promise you the world and speaks very eloquently. ultimately after you pay, you will have to deal with his paralegals and they absolutely suck and have no considerations at all!!!

Heavily regret hiring them to sponsor my parents

I hired Gehi & Associates to sponsor my parents as they have a complicated US immigration history. At the initial consult, the consulting attorney assured me it was possible to sponsor them and that the work would begin immediately after I paid the first deposit and signed the retainer agreement, whi...le I agreed to pay monthly installments until the entire retainer was paid up. Over the next 3 months, they had numerous delays, prepared the wrong forms, and used offshore, unqualified resources to deliver legal advice. After 3 months, I decided to stop making any further until at least the initial application was filed. At that point, they said I was being unreasonable and uncooperative and terminated the attorney-client relationship, and refused to refund my fees even though I gained nothing by hiring them. Luckily I have a close friend who is a lawyer and he will be guiding me on how to get my retainer back through the court system as it is clear I did not receive any benefit from engaging them with a fixed fee agreement. I will say the attorney's definitely sounded like they knew what they were doing, but I expect they just did not have the capacity to meet the commitments they made. 3 months to file the petition is ridiculous as most lawyers get it done in a couple of weeks as they initially agreed.

Extremely Horrible service!!!

I wish I could give them negative stars!!! Extremely horrible and unprofessional bunch of people. We paid them from our immigration case and for 1 month no one contacted us even for our documents!!! when we reached out to them....no one had any clue about the case. Upon requesting a refund, there was... no response for months and finally they came back saying they will only give us back less than 50%. funny thing is when asked why they were deducting 5-60% the and proof of any work they did...all the office manager could tell us was 1 paralegal made 1 phone call to find out what the procedure was with NVC (I don't belive they did that either). so 1 paralegal phone call cost me about $1800. I thought you pay lawyers because you think they know the procedures of law!!! I am filing a complaint with BBB, NY BAR, and consumer protection court.
