Efficient Counsel

Atty Dehra was the counsel for my H1 application, and I couldn't have had better representation. He knows the law, how to respond to any request for further evidence, and how to achieve a disposition that works for the client. The case was handled ethically and efficiently. My calls and emails were r...esponded promptly, irrespective of the time zone difference. I highly recommend Atty Dehra.

The Best Immigration Attorney!

Working with Dehra Miotke Immigration Law Firm has been a great and prolific experience for me. I am very much pleased with their professional service and the manner in which my H1-B petition was drafted and filed. As a result of their wonderful work, my H1B petition was approved in a very short peri...od. I personally want to thank Amit Dehra for providing me the latest updates, advice and valuable guidance. He is undoubtedly the best Immigration Attorney and I highly recommend him. Thank you Amit!

Trustworthy, very professional

We have waited a long time and went through a lot of personal sacrifices to be in this country legally. We've had somewhat negative experiences along the way, which is why we were wary about the immigration process. Atty. Dehra and Ms James from the Tampa office were very timely and upfront. They ...explained to us the best and worst case scenario, the immigration process in detail, and the rationale behind the immigration process. They answered our calls and emails within minutes and delivered the services they said they would within a short time frame. We visited their office several times, and we leave their office feeling confident that our case is in good hands. Our case took about 17 months from start to finish . The wait time was short, considering that it was delayed due events that was only controlled by the USCIS. Very short compared to the amount of time we already wasted in the past when our case was handled by other law firms. Immigration is a daunting, if not scary, part of seeking a better life in America for people like us. We are professionals and law-abiding citizens. We have high praises for Atty. Dehra and Ms Shirin James for helping us go through the proper process of immigration and reside in this country legally.

Amit Dehra's performance over the years

Amit Dehra has been my immigration attorney, both for business and personal needs. He knows the immigration laws very well. Prior to taking on a case, he explains the process, timelines and possible hurdles. He has been spot on in the predictions. He has processed Green Card, H1B and related visas fo...r the employees. At a personal level, most recently, he processed the K-Visa for my son's fiance. I am glad that I retained Amit to do the processing, since I was not aware of the types of hurdles one faces. His documenntation was thorough, always on time and excellent communication throughout the process. I have recommended him to others and they have given me similar feedback. It is tough to find honest and hard working attorneys. You got one in 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."
