Helped me tremendously!

No one helped me with my case like Atty. Gerardo Dean did. He gave me hope when he told me my case was current and I could do something about it as soon as possible. I thought I had to wait until my wife had to become a citizen before I could apply for permanent residency, I was wrong. He walked me t...hrough the process. His consultation was free of charge and reassured me of great result. I heard excellent reviews from him before and so I decided to have him work on my case. My wife and I have had some advice from other lawyers before that went nowhere and we got charged very expensive fees. He’s the best immigration lawyer my wife and I have ever talked to and I highly recommend it to anyone who desperately needs help with their situation. HE IS THE PERSON WHO CAN HELP YOU. He is very easy to reach and will make time for you to answer your questions and will give you the best advice on your case! The fees are affordable too! My wife had a bad experience with others who were very hard to contact/took a long time to respond to her case. My wife and I couldn’t believe it when my case got approved and I am finally happy to say that I belong to this country as a green card holder. If there is a lawyer out there who can help you and give you the best advice, it is Atty. Gerardo Dean.

EB3 approval

I was referred to Geraldo L Dean by a friend who was already working with him. We were to begin the EB3 application as a foreign train nurse sometime in February 2019. I was misinformed by most recruiting agencies and they wasted my time. Geraldo was honest and straight forward on talking to him. May... 2019 the process began, he did a good job on every application he sent and rendered his legal advice on any issues that came up. At the end, we received our Green card in October 2019. I will strongly recommend him to any one. You just have to believe in him and be patient. “Patience patience is the way out.

EB2 processing

I'd like to thank Atty. Dean for his tremendous amount of patience in dealing with my EB2 visa. He's very professional in his field. His tenacity, due diligence, and being attentive to all the small details of my case, got me my Immigrant Visa. In any situation you can count on his help. Always wi...lling to listen, won't hesitate to share and give advise when asked for any updates or information on matters regarding immigration.
