An American dream turned into reality - John ,US Registered Nurse

It started as a feeling and now I'm living the American dream. I have known Atty Dean since 2016 when he was introduced to me by my colleague. At that time, we discussed my US application but I was still undecided as I was torn between a direct hire versus a health care agency, weighing their pro...s and cons. Fast forward. In 2019, when I finally had the courage to start my US application, I was fortunate that I had his contact number, so I immediately contacted him and that's when my US journey started. It took 2 years and 6 months for my American visa to be approved. Although there were some obstacles along the way, it did not prevent Atty and his team from following up and submitting the necessary documents to my application. His team was amazing and kept me informed all the time. All in all, in this time frame, I have to say, it has been a quick and smooth processing time. Thank you to Atty Dean for your hard work and dedication to my visa application to the United States. I am grateful for your patience and professionalism throughout this process. If it wasn't for your unwavering support, I couldn't get my American visa approved.

Gerontologist

I learned about Attorney Dean in 2013 through my classmates. He has been with me from the very beginning when I first asked sponsorship from my previous job. Honestly, my immigration journey was very stressful and complicated. But with Attorney Dean's expertise, wisdom, and years of experience, our A...merican dream is within reach. Sometimes, just knowing that a highly qualified immigration lawyer is working with you through the process can help you get some peace of mind. The road to immigration success is not easy to navigate, but with the knowledge and guidance of Attorney Gerry Dean, your American dream is achievable. Thank you, Attorney Dean.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
