Testimonial of Appreciation.. Thanks Amit !!

I endorse Amit's work. Amit had some excellent insights in his work and he is an able, quick-minded and thorough attorney. He understands the complicated array of U.S. immigration laws better than any other attorney. In my case, he assisted with H-1B transfer to my new firm. On day one of our convers...ation over phone, he collected all the necessary details and was honest upfront in committing to a date for completing the transfer. He went above and beyond in working closely with me over the weekend to complete all the necessary documentation prior to submission to meet the promised deadline which truly impressed me. His professionalism, courtesy and knowledge bode well for any clients that might consider him in the future. I will certainly refer clients to his firm.

Thank you, Amit!

Our experience with Amit was different from other lawyers. He is easy to work with yet very professional. After our first meeting with him, we immediately know that we are in good hands. Amit guided and kept us update through the process of changing the visa status. Thank you, Amit, for all the... effort and time you put into making our case a strong and successful one.

Thank you Amit!!

I endorse Amit's work. I am his client since August 2014. He is highly dedicated to achieving the best result for his clients. He has exceptionallly broad knowledge and experience with Immigration Law. My case was the most complex of all , after 12 years of being in US, I still didnt have a Green Ca...rd. My previous green card application was unsuccessful. I 140 petition was denied by USCIS and I had already used up all the 6 years in H1B. Amit listened to my case very carefully and came up with an excellent Case strategy. He got me an h1b based on the pending I 140 appeal. He started a new PERM application . I had so many meetings with him, and he was very prompt in his responses. Due to the due deligence he put in my case, I got my PERM application approved on 9/18/2015. He is currently preparing my I 140 Application. I am very pleased with his work and highly recommend him!!

Outstanding service!

Mr. Amit handled my case from H1B to Permanent Residence, and I must say, that we couldn't have done this without him! The service we received from Mr. Amit was always friendly, knowledgeable, professional and very prompt. My wife and I greatly appreciate all that you have done. Thank you for al...l your advice, help and persistence in assisting us to achieve this goal! We will highly recommend you and your firm to anyone.

"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."
