The following are some testimonials from a few of our clients:

Tom (fiancée from Iran)

Thanks Eric. My fiancée just collected her K1 visa. We chose to use an attorney for our visa process because we could not afford any unnecessary delays. Due to Eric Dean’s help there was not a single request for “additional evidence”. We were also pleased with Eric’s prompt replies to our many emails. Currently we live on the opposite side of the world from the USA. Despite the time difference, Eric was always available. As well as emails, we also had a number of phone conversations. The peace of mind from good advice and reassurance has been priceless.

Keith (CR-1 Visa for wife from China)

I am writing this testimonial in hopes that Eric will post this on his website, so I might be able to help someone else save time and a lot of headaches--looking for the RIGHT Visa lawyer. Trust ME! You can STOP Reading Now and Call Eric and get him started working on getting your loved one home to you here in the U.S.A. HE IS THE BEST THERE IS!! OK you want to hear more? I met my wife (now) on a dating site last August (2008) in Nanning China. After using Yahoo Cam and Skype Cam and E-mails and many phone calls, we decided to get married in Jan. (2009). I started my long search for what I needed to do to bring Jing home. After looking at all the paperwork involved, I knew I needed a lawyer---WOW there are a lot of people out there willing to take your money. PLEASE learn from my experience, Eric has the needed experience, and has experienced everything we are going through, by bringing his own wife home the same way. When I called Eric, he actually answered the phone himself!! His knowledge of the process was also as impressive. After a lot of thinking (on my part) even though his price was a little higher than the other Guys --- I know now that he is well worth anything he would charge. Eric told me exactly what I needed to bring my wife home from China. So when I came back from our wedding I had everything he needed to get started on my wife's visa. Eric was able to get everything filed quickly--EVEN with all my questions--he got answers to me the same day, by phone or e-mail (CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT). Everything was moving quickly--until Eric called me and told me that the K-3 Visa was NO MORE--(MY heart dropped)-- Eric assured me that the CR-1 Visa would not be a problem ( He is very good at what he does) Eric refiled everything for the CR-1 Visa---and everything was approved quickly. To shorten this story---after all the trouble that was handed to Eric, he kept my case moving and got my wife an interview in Guangzhou, China. With all the preparation Eric gave me and my wife, out of the 10 interviews given that day, my wife was the only one that passed the interview. The person conducting the interview told my wife that all her paperwork and documents were the most complete and in order that he had seen in a long while. He only asked my wife two questions---(1.) Are you sure you have a good husband? (2.) Are you ready to go to the U.S.A. to be with your husband? I am so pleased with Eric, and what he has done for my wife and me. She even got her Green Card in 30 days. It was so good to have her home for Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Thanks again Eric, from the bottom of our hearts, Keith and Jingru

Christy (K-1 Visa for fiancé from Ghana)
Eric provided us with the information that we needed to make the process of applying for a K-1 Visa successful. The information he provided on possible questions the consulate would ask your finance was very valuable while preparing for the interview. When we asked for information, he was quick to respond and he was a great resource during this process.

Luke (K-1 Visa for fiancée from Portugal)
I am very pleased that I chose the Law Offices of Eric Dean in my pursuit of receiving a K-1 visa for my fiancée from Portugal. We corresponded mainly via email, and Eric was always prompt in replying to all of my various questions with detailed answers. Without Eric's guidance my dreams of bringing Joana to the United States would have been a lot more difficult. His precise explanations and guidance helped us immensely through our important journey and we would recommend his professional services to anyone looking to obtain a K-1 visa for their loved one. If ever in doubt we both knew he would be there on the receiving end of our questions being only a simple phone call away. He comes highly recommended by the both of us. Thanks again for your assistance, Eric.

Matt (CR-1 visa for wife from the Philippines)
Eric and Liz, thank you very much for your help. I am in the Military and I had no idea what paperwork was needed or how to complete it. With your assistance, the process was so easy, and you took care of any problems we had with our visa packet. You answered all of our e-mails and calls in a timely manner and I agree with the rest of the testimonials when they say that Eric doesn’t sleep and he made sure that we were taken care of. The price is just right since I am in the U.S. Army and don’t make a lot and bringing my wife over from the Philippines can get pricey, but I wanted things done right, with no problems with the USCIS. Since I am in the military Eric helped me get an Expedite and my wife’s visa was done in less than 4-5 months total that is everything including her CR-1 visa. It was so fast. Even at the interview in the Philippines when my wife went there were a lot of people who did not bring enough evidence. Eric told us what to bring, and all the paperwork was rock solid. My wife received her green card after she entered the states, and Eric stood by us checking up on USCIS to see where and when it would come. They were always there for us when we needed them. I recommend Eric to anyone who is serious about getting their spouse or fiancée to the states. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again Eric and Liz you guys are awesome!! – Matt and Ria

Robert (fiancée from Peru):
I wanted to thank you Eric for doing a great job on helping me get my fiancée Nanni from Peru so quickly to the States! Everyone was very surprised that she arrived to the states so quickly! Including myself! My life is filled with happiness now that she is with me!! I love her so very much and need her in my life. I want everyone to know you are the best. God bless you, Eric!

Meth (fiancée from Cambodia):

Eric and Liz helped me get a visa for my fiancée from Cambodia. I think back and realize that hiring them was the best choice I made. Before I was juggling with the decision of doing it myself, but I thought for awhile and realized my fiancée means too much to me, and there were a lot of things about the process I wasn’t sure about.

I went to the interview with my fiancée and I can tell you personally about the whole experience. My fiancée was the last one to be interviewed, so we got to listen in. It surprised me to see very few people get their visas that day—about 10 out of 40 people. I think that was on their good day! It doesn’t take much to have a visa denied, that’s for sure.

I’m sure glad I didn’t put my fiancée in the “HOT SEAT” like some others! They were asked question after question just to have their visa denied. Some didn’t have enough documents, and some just weren’t well-prepared. As far as my fiancée, she was asked about 5 or 6 questions, and they granted her visa.

This is just a piece of advice for those who are undecided. Don’t take a risk on something so important. Let Eric and Liz put your mind at ease. After all, they do know what you’re going through—they’ve been there. Thank you Eric and Liz for all that you have done!

Anne (fiancée from Australia):
Thank you for making this happen for us. You took away all fear of what could go wrong, calmed our anxieties, and made this so much easier than if we tried it ourselves. I know we would have messed up badly and your fee is very reasonable. We enjoyed working with you and your wife so much! THANK YOU.

Martin (fiancée from China):
Dear Eric-I would like to take this opportunity to thank both you and your wife Liz for helping secure the K-1 visa for my fiancé, Julia, and the K-2 visa for her daughter. You were with me all along the way with your kindness, friendship, caring and of course, your help. Thanks to you, Julia will be coming to the U.S.A. soon and we are to be married shortly thereafter.  Yes, I do believe that you were "sweating it out" (the outcome) with us and we both thank you very much for your support.  Your diligence and knowledge of the entire process were most instrumental in making things go smoothly . . . (not to mention your 3 A.M. e-mails and your personal call to me telling me that the I-129F packet had arrived at the consular office in Guangzhou) and you even helped after the paperwork was at the Chinese consulate with your continued suggestions and assistance as to how the interview would be conducted and items Julia needed to bring along with her.  For these reasons, I have decided to enlist your further assistance in getting Julia her green card as well as her work and travel permits.  Once again, thank you so very much for all you've done in helping our dreams come true.

Sean (Fiancée from the Philippines):
Eric and his wife Liz went above and beyond with their patience, understanding and availability. The petition they put together for us was very complete, accurate, and professional. They were so accessible and kind that it felt like the only case they were working on was ours. They made this much easier for us and were very personable the whole way through. Thank you Eric and Liz!!!

Jason (fiancée from Korea):
Eric, thanks for making this process feel ridiculously easy.  Amy and I are very grateful everything went smooth and there wasn't a single problem!  Thanks for answering all our emails and phone calls no matter how late or how early in the morning they were.  We still can't figure out if you sleep or not! haha. We are very satisfied that we chose you to handle our K-1 visa paperwork, Mahalo and Kamsa hamnida from Jason and Amy

Bob (fiancée from the Philippines):
Thanks to Eric and Liz, everything in our petition was in order and our case was so polished. We had a sense of confidence, and due to all of the preparation, the interview went well. Our visa was granted!

Linda (Husband from Egypt):
I cannot say enough good things about Eric and his wife! From the very first contact, I had a sense of relief that my case was in good hands.
The immigration process is very expensive, and I was pleased to find that Eric’s fees were more than reasonable.

I was able to talk with him day or night; when I was worried or confused or just wanted to ask a question. He was always available to share his opinions and experience. My emails were answered within hours, and my calls were answered by him each time I called.

Eric was honest, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. The packages he put together for us were well organized, impressive and easy to read. I believe that is one of the big reasons my husband and I were approved for our K-3 visa in 120 days!

I recommend Eric and his wife to anyone going through this process. He will set your mind at ease, take away the fear of making a mistake, and he will not overcharge you for his services.

Jake (fiancée from Argentina):
I would like to say thanks for your help in getting my fiancée here from Argentina.  You were wonderful.  I would recommend your service to anyone who is looking to get a spouse to the states.  Our emails were answered quickly and professionally.  Your fees were very reasonable compared to others and I was amazed at how quickly you returned calls and answered our emails.  You were very involved in our case and we appreciate your help and support.  I’m confident that we were very lucky to have chosen you and have you guide us through this maze of paperwork.  I’m confident we picked the very best attorney to help with this process.  I read your homepage again tonight and I would totally support everything you say in the section “Why hire us?” It is absolutely the truth without any exaggeration.  Thanks again for your help.

Adam (fiancée from Mexico):
Eric, I would like to thank you for helping to bring my family together.  You were very understanding and had an ear every time that I wanted a question answered, calming when issues came up, and thorough in your work and desire to keep the focus.  Our case had some ups and downs due to things beyond our control, but you forged through, contacted the parties that caused our delays and pushed them to get our process completed in a very quick manner. Today my fiancée is now my wife here in the United States, we wake every morning with the sight of the person who completes our lives, and all is because of your help. With my wife at my side, we cannot say “Thank You” enough!!!

Keith (fiancée from Canada):
Eric and Liz were wonderful in successfully obtaining my Canadian fiancée's K1 Visa!  I never had an attorney that was available, day or night, to answer any question that my fiancée or I had. You could not select a better attorney for this process.

Gregg (fiancée from China):
I want to say that Eric Dean’s services are very professional, friendly, and with a personal touch that you would not get with other large services. Eric answers all questions with swift responses and goes beyond what most other services provide. He is also fair and priced much better than those so called large services. He is well versed in this area and I was very satisfied with his services. Because of his attention to detail I was able to secure my wife's visa from China.

Jessica (fiancé from the Netherlands):
I feel so fortunate to have found Eric Dean and to have had his expertise during the process of obtaining Maurice's K-1 fiancé visa.  Eric was very patient while answering all of our questions, and he usually responded to our emails within a few hours, which was fantastic!  He helped us through a process which would have been very confusing and stressful had we attempted to do it on our own.  His personal attention to us made us feel as though we were his number one priority.  We would definitely recommend Eric's services to anyone seeking to obtain a K-1 or CR-1 visa!  

Neal (fiancée from China):

My fiancée reported that when she went to the Consulate, her visa was the only one approved out of 4 applicants when she was there. The rest were all turned down for either lack of paperwork or wrong paperwork. She reports that you are a really good lawyer and that you did a great job for us. Thanks!

Jerry (fiancée from Lebanon):

Eric's expert guidance and  professional support saw us through the sometimes confusing and always nuanced process of application for a fiancée visa and subsequent green card.

From our first enquiry to the final outcome, Eric was always available, patient and prompt in his responses. Our trust and confidence in him has been repeatedly validated as has been his respect for our needs.  

Thank you, Eric.

Sincerely, 
Christine and Jerry

James (Fiancée from Canada):
Eric Dean was a delight to work with.  He is knowledgeable, patient, and most of all accessible.  His is a great communicator and easy to speak with.  During this sometimes nerve-wracking and frustrating process he was able to keep things going and keep us calm!  Emails, voice messages, even panicky calls from the airport at 9:30 PM - he was always there for us.  Thanks Eric!  James & Amanda Hagarty

Rick (fiancée from Vietnam):

Finding someone to help my fiancée and me with her visa application from Vietnam was the first crucial step in a long journey. There are a lot of people out there offering visa services and it’s hard to know who to choose. I spoke to several potential attorneys on the phone and chose Eric because he answered the phone and was very passionate and straightforward. I am SO glad that I did! Eric took a complicated and daunting process and made it as simple as it could be. He guided us through all of the steps, always making sure that we knew what to expect next. After receiving the K1 visa we enlisted Eric again for my wife's travel permit, work permit and green card - which we just received!! I can't imagine trying to go through this process without Eric's help. He has a unique combination of skill, empathy, and patience. In terms of value for money, Eric's services are a bargain. And in terms of what his help has meant to me and my wife, it's been priceless.

Mike (fiancée from Guatemala):

Anyone having any doubt about Eric and Elizabeth being the best choice to represent them should talk to me. I have had 11 years dealing with immigration and lawyers, as I have sponsored some students. You are the best; I would not even consider not having you by my side. You have always responded personally and promptly. I just wish I could find legal representation in my business with your integrity, compassion, expertise and thoroughness. Everything went like clockwork, my wife, Catalina, and the children are here with me, with their travel/work permits, S.S. cards, and approved Green Cards on the way. Like so many times before, thank you so very much again.

Mike (wife from China):

Dear Eric and Liz, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each of you for your hard work and your diligence in helping my wife and daughter receive their visas in China. You have repeatedly gone "above & beyond the call of duty" to help us reach this goal! I was very impressed with your insistence on having the paperwork as perfect as possible, and with your prompt answers to any questions we had! You added a personal touch to your work that other attorneys just do not have! And your fees are more than reasonable, especially for someone like me that’s on a fixed income! All in all, I was very pleased with your hard work and your persistence in making sure everything went right! Soon my wife and daughter will be coming from China to join me in their new home and new life here in Oklahoma. The happiness I feel, even now, brightens my day! Eric and Liz, you have helped make that happiness a reality for all of us! I would recommend you both to anyone who needs a visa to bring a loved one to this country! After my first failed attempt to do it on my own, you both made all the difference! I consider you both good friends as well as our legal counsel! Thanks again for all your help!

Sincerely, Mike D.

Tabitha (fiancé from Jamaica):

Both Jermaine and I cannot begin to thank you enough for your help with this process, your organization, dedication, and attention to detail far exceeded our expectations. When this process first started, we didn't know where to start. We searched the Internet and the state of Delaware for a suitable immigration attorney, but received a relaxed response to our immediate need. It was our desire to have an attorney that would understand the importance of our petition and that we could trust to handle this petition with care.

I will never forget sitting in my kitchen one Saturday morning, and coming across your website on the Internet, after reading your story, I instantly had an unexplainable comfort level with your services. Although mostly all attorney offices are closed on Saturday, I decided to leave you a message, surprisingly you said hello upon the second ring, which in return spoke volumes about the sensitivity, urgency and importance you hold in regards to your firm and immigration situations.

From beginning to end, you advised and outlined step by step by instructions, the time line and expectations for this process was precise and you significantly minimized the stress of this process because of your commitment to the success of our petition.

In a world where the Internet is full of scams, and misleading information, it brings us great peace to have experienced an attorney, sight unseen, dedicated to the process of helping others make their dreams a reality.

We just wanted you to know how much you and your legal team are truly appreciated for your exceptional guidance during this entire process. Eric, we will forever be eternally grateful for your services. We STRONGLY, with high recommendation would refer you and your team!

With Sincere Thanks,

Tabitha & Jermaine

Natasha & Tom (Netherlands):

Dear Eric, once again I'd like to thank you for helping Natasha and I get my Visa. We decided to hire an attorney to help us through the Visa process since we had a baby on the way and any delays with the paperwork was something we couldn't afford. After looking for a while we found Eric, someone affordable yet good, and oh were we right. I recently got my Visa and am preparing to fly to the US later this week and there's not a single bad thing I can say about working with Eric. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable at what he does, he made us feel extremely confident in both his abilities and everything working out good and he never let us down. Eric is also extremely pleasant to talk to and really easy to contact (just call him), a lot of our communication has been through email and he responds much faster then I would've ever thought and expected.

One of my biggest fears when hiring a lawyer was getting someone who would be rather distant from the process. Eric is the complete opposite of this, he is very involved in the process. Especially since he's been through it himself, he knows how much it all means for us. The whole process was made a lot easier for us since Eric knows exactly what information is needed and if at times it wasn't clear to us what he needed for everything, he was just a phone call or an email away and we would get an answer/explanation. Even when down the line we encountered a potential problem, he managed to help us deal with the situation to keep our case on track. Thankfully we did not have any requests for additional evidence. The interview at the consulate only consisted of me handing over the necessary documentation, after this I was told my Visa was granted and I could go to the US.

Thanks to all this we decided to hire Eric again to help us get me my Green Card and Work/Travel Permit. Once again thank you so much Eric for making this feel a lot easier for us, always being there, putting our minds at ease, and foremost for reuniting my fiancée, our daughter and myself.

Julie (fiancé from the UK):

I was born in Haiti and lived in the US for over 40 years. I became a US citizen while in the military.

In 2009 I met a wonderful and intelligent woman, with a vibrant personality, while in Haiti visiting a childhood friend at his business office. It did not take us long to connect with each other. It was love at first sight. We have been dated since we met and got engaged in 2011. We then decided not to stay apart any longer.

I immediately began to search on the web for an Attorney, I can trust, work with and who is specialized in K1 visa. Luckily for us, I discovered Eric Dean. Eric worked with me and my fiancée non-stop and diligently to ensure that all the required paperwork were filled out correctly, reviewed and verified prior to processing.

What made it so interesting was that Eric and his wife had demonstrated good team work to ascertain that each step for the K1 is carefully, professionally and timely handled. I was able to talk with him at any time during the course of this process. We even at times communicated late evenings and weekends. He always returned my calls and responded to my emails and that I really liked. He takes his work very seriously and that was exactly the kind of Attorney I was searching for.

There are a lot of K1 Attorneys out there, but do not go any further. Hire someone like Eric who has passion and takes his work very seriously.

My future wife is on her way to the US to marry the man of her life. We both are very happy and excited and are so thankful for the legal service both Eric and his wife so carefully and professionally provided to us to help us making this wonderful trip together as husband and wife.

Thanks so much Eric for making our dream comes true. We cannot forget you!
