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 Work and Integrity!

My personal experience with Amit Dehra have left a great lasting impression on me. At first I was a little skeptical but after having a sit down consultation with him to discuss my case I was confident in hiring him as my lawyer. He is very professional, aggressive, persistent and tough. I never th...ought that my case couldn't be won. I would recommend Amit Dehra to anyone looking for a good immigration attorney. He is not like any lawyer I've ever met. I cannot thank him enough for the hard work and dedication he put in to make sure my case came out with a positive result.

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.

Excellent and Efficient Service Gauranteed

Attorney Dehra handled my case from H1B to Permanent Residence, and he did it in record time. My H1B was filed in February 2013, and in Jan 2015 my I-485 Employment based adjustment of status to permanent residence was approved without any RFE's. My case had a number of loopholes to begin with b...ut Attorney Dehra confidently gave me reassurance. He repackaged my applicant profile, accompanied with ingenuously persuasive cover letters, and presented a strong case. Attorney Dehra responded to all my inquiries knowledgeably, returned phone calls promptly, and communication with him and his associates was quite easy and cordial. It was a pleasure having Dehra Miotke, LLC as my immigration representatives, and for anyone seeking legal counsel on any immigration issue, I unequivocally recommend Attorney Dehra's services.

"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."
