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.

Amazing Lawyer!

A relative refered us to Mr. Gerardo Lara Dean ,He was truly a blessing to me and my family He educated and helped me,my daughter and wife got our green cards the right way. He stayed with us throughout the process and always responded immediately to our concerns related to our applications. Most i...mportantly, he gets the job done without charging ridiculous fee like those other immigration lawyers in chicago and he will tell you first hand if your case is possible or impossible to fixed. We recommended Him already to our friends and family who need help with their immigration application and all got 100% success! Dean! More power and blessing to Atty. Gerardo Lara Dean.

You get what you paid for... nothing more

I hired this lawyer for my immigration case and he made a couple of mistakes on our case that shouldnt have happened. I think he felt embarrassed on the things that happened and just wanted our case to be over without admitting to the mistakes. He still took our money and didn't give proper explanati...on on our question. It was a very disappointing experience and I hope you'll think before hiring him. He is cheaper than other attorney's but he will not take care of your case with care.

Replied last March 27, 2017

This anonymous client is known to me. He retained my services to prepare and file his adjustment application as derivative beneficiary-spouse of the principal beneficiary in an employment-based immigrant petition who recently entered the US on immigrant visa. The USCIS returned his applications because at that time, his principal's green card was not yet available. I didn't have the chance to pursue this matter because he asked me to return his complete file. I returned not only his documents but the money he gave, IN-FULL. At this point in time, the principal beneficiary already received her green card. With a copy of his principal's green card now forming part of his supporting documents, his adjustment application as derivative beneficiary was finally accepted by the USCIS and is now pending determination.

Trustworthy

Mr. Dean is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. He assisted my family in getting EB2 when our H1B and H4 visas were about to expire. He responds to calls and emails within 24 hours. If not for him, my family could've spent more on a working visa extension. He is a blessing!

Highly Recommended, Very Reliable & Professional

In my search for a really good and trustworthy immigration lawyer, i finally found ATTY DEAN! I have previously retain the services of a couple of high priced immigration laywers in Miami and Chicago (well known ones mind you), and it only bled me dry until i cannot afford anymore to even go for cons...ultations and follow up! With Atty Dean, truly i have found a straightforward lawyer who was patient and frank with me in explaining the immigration process that i will undergo and what will be the practical timelines of my immigration application. No sugarcoating, no false promises! Thank you Atty Dean for all your help and assistance, and i hope that there are more applicants that you will be able to reach and help out. God Bless.
