I’ve had an asylum case which was withdrawn after filing family based i-485 petition. I applied in December of 2017 and had several interviews but, never heard back from the USCIS. This March 2021 I hired Nicklaus and he filed mandamus to Uscis. I had the interview this July after one year which was my Third Interview. I didn’t hire a lawyer in the beginning which was a big mistake. Nicklaus also, came along with me for my interview and he was very helpful and asked many questions to the immigration officer. He literally was a godsend. I got may permanent resident card last week. Thank you very much Nicklaus and I highly recommend him. He was available all the time and replied all of my emails. He walked me through everything. He’s a very good and knowledgeable attorney.
Now has an office in Poughkeepsie NY and his rates were 50% less than the other attorneys I spoke to. My case was complicated and confusing and he took the time and returned my calls in a reasonable time.

Adam Walsh Bush Act
We were under the immigration process for almost 6 years. We were denied and then appealed, the case was back to the local office for the review again, and after that there was no response. We have consulted multiple attorneys, including super stars. No one could do anything about the case, everything they could say was to WAIT. Finally, I found Nick and called him. He sounded very knowledgeable and gave us hope. He acted aggressively, but professional with the immigration office. Within a year I received a green card. Highly recommend this attorney.

Lawyer who did what he said he would
Mr. Misiti was able to lift a deportation order and get permanent residence for my wife. The whole process took longer than we had thought it, but everything was a success. Before all this, he was able to finalize an absentee divorce. Lawyer fees arent cheap, but I believe he is pretty fair with the prices. He is highly recommended for immigration related issues.

Immigration Assistance with Adam Walsh Waiver
I married a woman from a foreign country. I had a former judge who specialized in immigration cases represent me and my wife. upon learning of my criminal history he explained the need to acquire a waiver of the Adam Walsh Act inserted into the immigration process in 2006. having not formally dealt with this he recommended Mr. Misiti. After contacting Mr. Misiti and having our initial consultation he thought he could help and we felt confident with his service. Although it took quite a bit of time as Mr. Misiti said it would the determination was in our favor. I was informed throughout the entire process and he was very quick to respond to all the requests and questions I had. He was very knowledgeable about all the relevant information and paperwork I would need to submit. I feel Mr. Misiti is very competent and knowledgeable on this topic and can be trusted to get the job done if you are willing to put in the effort as well. Overall I would recommend Mr. Misiti for anyone who needed help with an immigration issue and his fee was extremely reasonable.

Very Satisfied with Nicklaus Misiti
My husband and I used Mr. Misiti's services in an immigration matter that could have resulted in a great deal of misery for us. We had no idea what to do about our problem, but fortunately for us, he handled it and the problem was resolved well within the time we needed it to be. When we had questions , he answered them, when we had concerns, he explained. I found him very helpful and am very pleased that we consulted hm.

Super Attorney. Handled all problems. Prompt responses. Not just chasing money
Worked with a few attorneys and most just try to run up the bills or hit you with fees included in the fine print of their agreement. Mr. Misiti was not this way at all. He took the time to explain all of our options and went over the retainer agreement before we signed it to make sure we understood everything. On top of that our case went exactly as he stated!

Nicklaus Misiti provided great advise to my family
Nicklaus Misiti provided excellent advice to me regarding a case I had related to my Father's stay in the US. He made sure we kept our end of the bargain and made timely payments and provided documents but he really cared and went the extra mile for us. Such good service and truthful advice from a top-notch lawyer is rare and I'm happy to have worked with Nicklaus. I highly recommend him for any of your immigration needs. He really works hard for his clients.

Nick helped me with my DACA application process
I used Nick for my DACA application process. He helped me so much, he told me what documents I needed and didn't need. His office is located in the city but since that was kind of far from me, he accommodated his time to see me in his house (after business hours). At the beginning I was a little worried because I never dealt with a lawyer before so he made my experience a good one. I would definitely go back to him if I ever need help in another case.

THE immigration lawyer!
I found Nicklaus on the Internet when I was desperately looking for an exit for the trouble our former lawyer had put us through. My husband needed a AWW and our former lawyer had absolutely no clue of what that was and what to do to help us. I read about Nicklaus here and in other sites, in fact most of the information at that time regarding AWW was coming from him, so I called his office and explained my case and he told me what we needed to do, how much it would cost. Within 3 months we heard from the immigration that our AWW was denied, we are on the second step of I don't know how many ahead, but all I can tell for sure is that we are very confident that we had hired a very knowledgeable immigration lawyer. We had problems to get a document from the court house and Nicklaus was able to help us from NY. We had a snow storm in Chicago on a Thursday night and NY was hit by the same snow storm on Friday, so some documents I had mailed him were late and still Nicklaus, very resourceful was able to get the documents to the immigration right on time. Every time I need I can email him, if I call the office and I cannot talk to him right away I know I will hear from him within 24 hours, and this makes me feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend Nicklaus Misiti from Misiti Global.
