Att. Amit Dehra is a blessing!!

Words cannot describe how grateful I am to Att. Amit Dehra for taking my case for VAWA petition. In all honesty, I was at my very last breath.. the edge of the cliff... the end of the rope when I met him. When it comes to legal matters, we need professionalism, meticulousness and progress in timely m...anner and I found all these while working with Att. Amit. I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. His expertise, knowledge and understanding of immigration law helped me a great deal. He guided me through every step, keeping me informed on what to expect realistically. He was always prompt with his replies to my questions and doubts. Mr. Amit is a very good listener and has the patience to hear you out. My needs were put first and I was treated as a friend rather than a case. My opinion was valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Att. Amit Dehra fought hard for me and he went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I will always be grateful to Att. Amit and his paralegal Keidy Shah for everything they did for me. I would highly recommend Mr. Amit Dehra as an immigration attorney because he is just THE BEST.

Amit Dehra has worked on my F2B Case. His whole team, from the secretary to Amit himself, were very diligently and timely on the case process till its successful end. He is very easy to work with and very knowledgeable about immigration. He made himself available for all our questions and kept us up ...to date during the whole process till we got the visa. We Thanks him & his team for their hard work and followups.

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.

impossible to possible. .. Thank you Mr. Amit

Mr. Amit handled my father's deportation case. My father was already issued deportation about 10 years ago. He was mostly in hiding and was detained about a year ago. Mr. Amit saved our family from falling apart. Just 2 weeks ago both my father and mother received their Green card. Mr. Amit let us k...now our chances were low. But, he kept fighting and didn't give up. Thanks Mr. Amit. Our family is sincerely grateful for all your efforts.

"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."
