My wife and I came to the US in 2004 and we were referred to attorney Suneeta Dewan through a good friend. We are so glad that we have found her. She was always there by our side and helped us as she has excellent knowledge of immigration law Over these years we have filled for H1-B’s and multiple extensions and soon we will be a permanent resident of the U.S. Our case was really complicated, as we changed jobs multiple times and filed for extensions many times through the course of 17 years. During my entire immigration process, Suneeta Dewan was highly professional, very meticulous, and caring. My family and I are extremely grateful to her as she took us out of immigration darkness to light and gave us so much happiness. Suneeta Dewan is truly the Best Immigration lawyer and a wonderful person. I recommend her services to all people who need immigration assistance.
Suneeta is very knowledgeable and professional. Her staffs are experienced and courteous. She has been helping me and my brother with 100% success. Her staffs are on top of the inquiries and answers queries after deep dive so there is no additional work or clarification needed. I would highly recommend her for help on immigration issues.
Our family has been fortunate to get competent assistance from the attorneys and entire staff of Dewan & Associates, Pllc. During our unusually prolonged procedure for adjustment of status to permanent residence, we were continuously advised and guided throughout the process and the preparation of paperwork. When we needed to travel outside the US, Dewan & Associates provided covering letters clarifying the status of our case which were very helpful. We are particularly grateful to Ms. Suneeta Dewan not only for her valuable guidance, but also for the fact that we could contact her at any time in case of a problem. For applicants who need competent immigration attorneys and value their peace of mind, we highly recommend Dewan & Associates, Pllc. This is the right place to go to: Good Luck!

Suneeta Dewan and Michelle Lino assisted me in my case and I got approved. This case was a case that other lawyers had told me there was no hope but they gave me their undivided attention and helped through all the applications and I’m extremely grateful to them. You will never be disappointed with them
Suneeta Dewan made my case extremely easy. The immigration issues can be tricky but Suneeta and her staff breezed me through the process. Suneeta is extremely knowledgeable, attentive and her work ethics are extraordinary. She has everything upfront with no surprises. Thanks to her professional representation I am now a permanent resident in the United States. I highly recommend Suneeta Dewan and always will hold her and her firm in the highest regard.
We met Suneeta Dewan through a recommendation of one of the staff members at the United Nations. My wife and I had been shopping around for a good attorney to guide us through the process of a green card sponsorship through marriage. After having seen several options, my wife had an immediate click with the team at Suneeta’s office. We started the process of applying for a green card with the guidance of her team, right away. I don't particularly know the right terms to recommend an attorney. But I must say that Suneeta, Michelle, Sandrine, Minolta, Samir and all the members at their office (both in former Empire State headquarters and today's Bryant Park location) were very pleasant to work with. They were very attentive, professional and meticulous. This kind of process can be very slow and emotionally draining but Suneeta herself and her team made even added the right amount of positivism and encouraged us all the way through. Suneeta prepared us with a personalized meetings and follow ups to go through a process the USCIS normally qualify as ‘red-flagged’. Today, I received my American citizenship and I didn’t experience one single ‘bump on the road’. I have in the past and I will continue to recommend Suneeta to friends and others who are looking for law services. Thank you, Suneeta!
We are an NYC based consulting firm and we engaged Suneeta Dewan and associates to do our first H1B hiring. As it was our first experience with H1B worker, we needed the right advise and a lot of hand holding in putting the application together. Suneeta had personally overseen our case and given some very valuable input while putting the application as well as through out the processing of the case. The application was very detailed and it was accepted without any RFE. The case was finally approved very smoothly. In course of my association with Suneeta through various conversation I also realized she is extremely knowledgable and experienced in all aspects of immigration law. I've recommended her and her firm to few of my business associates who have similar needs. I wish her and her team all the best !
Worst experience ever. The lawyer Suneeta assigned to my case left their office and they kept me on hold without knowing exactly what to do until I found another lawyer - no need to say that they never reimbursed me the fee that I paid and didn’t show any intention to do so -. Once, when I asked Suneeta questions about my case and told her what I had read in the USCIS website, she visibly didn’t know how to answer and felt uncomfortable, once I left her office I assume she checked online - I should say that my question was not rocket science and she, as an experienced lawyer, should know what to answer- came after me and just said that I was right. In my case, my husband passed, I had to add to the grieving and sorrow to deal with their lack of knowledge of how to transfer a case from being married to an American citizen to process the case as a widower of an American citizen. Instead of lightning my burden they made everything more complicated incurring in a waste of time and money. If I were you I wouldn’t put my case in her hands, there are many good immigration lawyers in this city and an immigration process is a big deal.
