Permanent resident application

Amit was very helpful and answered all the questions patiently. He made sure we were calm and confident before the permanent resident interview. Even at the last moment when we were stepping out of the interview room (which was short, to the point and quite easy thanks to the detailed forms that Amit... prepared for us), he smartly small-talked to the interviewer to make our case stronger. He is committed and hard working and it shows.

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 so much!!!!

"The will of GOD will never take you where the grace of GOD will not protect you". Amit is nothing less than a GOD's sent angel for us. The dedication, the diligence, the hard work, the honesty, the commitment and all of the enthusiasm that he put in my husbands case worked like a blessing for us. I...t's amazing to see how Amit and his team are full hands on deck when it comes to serving their clients. We're so thankful for all that he has done for us and there is nothing that would be enough to express our gratitude. So timely with the paperwork, such effective communication and above all, the greatest support system were just a few of the things that we experienced during our filing process. In our social circle of immigrants, there has NOT been a single attorney who could be vouched for any of the above. I'm so thankful to GOD and feel really blessed to have made a lifetime friend following this pleasant experience. May you continue to unite families and be the one to give them lifelong memories----Sabina

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.

"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."
