A lawyer, where you can feel that everything will work out in the end!

Rachel Casseus came into my life l, when I needed a trustworthy lawyer on that very second. I started doing the 601A Waiver for my husband by myself, due to the prices lawyers were charging me. After putting all the information together, I really needed a lawyer to check everything I had done without... overcharging me like most lawyers out there, to make sure it was 100% right, since dealing with immigration can be very difficult. So that's when I met Rachel, she was literally an Angel in my life. She did not over charged, because I did my research before actually choosing her. Being very stressful, and feeling overwhelmed, Rachel was there for me anytime I needed her I could just email her with questions, that she would email me back right away, with all the information I needed. Rachel is THAT lawyer, where I could feel that everything would work out, due to her patience, organization skill and a great professional. Because of her today my husband and I had our interview in Brazil, and our whole process was accepted. Thank You Rachel, for being the great Lawyer you are!!!

National Interest Waiver: Rachel G.A. Casseus provided invaluable guidance towards my green card

I moved to Boston back in 2007, when I started attending my doctoral program in electrical engineering at Boston University. I graduated in 2011 and subsequently I worked for almost 2 years in a small semiconductor company. In 2013 I joined the Research Laboratory of Electronics at MIT as postdoctora...l associate. When I heard that my colleague at MIT had had his green card approved through the National Interest Waiver process, after asking what an NIW was, I decided to pursue the same path. The NIW process is meant for people that have an advanced degree and with exceptional abilities. I firmly believe that technology will ultimately make the world a better place, and innovation will continue to be crucial to the success of the United States in today's global economy. Therefore, this country needs people with advanced degrees and exceptional skills to stay and create new jobs and opportunities rather than using such skills abroad. Working with the Law Office of Rachel Casseus was a game changer. Rachel understood my case in every single aspect and was able to put together a material that fully represented my story. She was a responsive, proactive and creative mentor. My case would have not been successful without her invaluable guidance.
