THE BEST IN TAMPA

After going through more than 50 different lawyers, most not even willing to take my case, I found Amit Dehra. He was very professional, and decided to really look into my case before taking it, just to make sure I would be able to get my permanent residency, and not waste my time or money. Living 30... years in America, and being afraid of even getting pulled over, wondering if I’d be deported, was a terrible pain. No one really understands the fear of it. And no one wanted to. Every other lawyer that I tried could never do what this man did in less than a year. I sit here today, and am glad to say after 30 years, countless lawyers, and large amounts of time, I FINALLY have my permanent residence card for the United States of America. This is something I have dreamed about for many years, and Amit and his team have made my dream come true. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. I truly appreciate the gift of a lifetime. I would recommend this team to anyone who feels they may not have the easiest case (which I did not). They really do know what they’re doing. They’re honest, and are here for the people. To anyone who is not sure if they should even bother, take the chance. I did. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

When everyone else said nothing could be done

I had a very complex case. I spoke with many attorneys which had told me that nothing could be done. I had just about given up until I saw an ad in a newspaper for Amit Dehra and it changed my life. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Within 6 months he got it done. If you have any immigratio...n issues this is the attorney to turn to.

Excellent Attorney!

Mr. Dehra has been helping me for over six years. Over the course of the past six years, he has done quality legal work in assisting me with H1B visas and I 140. He is very knowledgeable about this area of the law and has been determined in helping me obtain results. He always took the time to talk t...o me when I reached out to him with any questions. I recommended him to an employer and a couple of friends. They are all highly satisfied with his work as well. Thanks Amit!

"I fully endorse Amit's legal work. Amit's knowledge of all aspects of both Non-Immigrant and Immigrant Employment-based Visas is only a starting point. Amit's true forte is successfully crafting smart, creative and practical "out of the box" strategies which are required more and more in the current D.H.S. environment. Obviously, most Immigration Attorneys in the field have a standard knoweldge base; however, it is a relatively rare few of these Attorneys who can manage the intricacies of this practice and yet present this process in a clear concise format to clients. This employment-based knowledge has been especially valuable to me in my extensive Immigration Court practice. These accolades are supported by many client testimonials, as well as my own direct experience with Amit. Finally, all of this is coupled with Amit's absolutely positive attitude."

"I wholeheartedly endorse Amit's work - he's a terrific immigration lawyer. I recently asked him to shepherd a client through an adjustment of status interview at the USCIS office in Tampa, and the client reported to me afterwards that Amit was delightful to work with, and that he was extremely knowledge about the Tampa office's personnel and procedures."
