Immigration attorney

Worst attorney i ever met. He charged me $145 for 2 mins advice. Very professional and no sympathy for anyone. He just advised me same things that i could have found on immigration website.

Dear MN: I understand that this is not the answer you were looking for. But, I would rather tell the facts and law on your face, instead of sugar coating and telling something which can not be done. You are welcome to call me or e-mail to discuss anything which wasn’t. I did ask you if you have any more questions – and you said no, that was it. I do feel bad for how you were misled by people assisting you. Thank you.

Great, knowledgeable and efficient Attorney

Amit is extremely knowledgeable and provided me valuable suggestions and approaches on how to go about my case.

After discussion and evaluation about your case, you will be confident that he will give his best shot and handle everything with great care and win it. He is highly dedicated and gives full attention to all the details about your case. He responded very quickly to all my calls and emails. I am very grateful to him and his firm. You will not go wrong in choosing Amit as your attorney! I would highly recommend him and his firm to anyone who is looking for the best immigration attorney.

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.

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.

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."
