Based on my experience with Nicolas Caraqual Law Offices, I can say without doubt that it is the best law office out there when it comes to immigration matters. My Fiance' contacted Nick after talking with a friend that had used his services to be with her fiance' in the United States . My Fiance' contacted Nick over facebook for a free consultation. After a brief conversation and us explaining our situation Nick was more than willing to take on our case. A few days after our conversation, Nick had sent Me all the a contract and everything we needed to make the immigration process quick and painless. We Hired Nicolas in May and my Fiance and me will be together for Christmas.. Not only was Nick swift at handling our case but he was professional and caring throughout the process. He responded quickly to our instant messages and emails and the process gave me piece of mind. I highly recommend him to anyone who is in search of a highly qualified immigration lawyer. Don't just take my words for it. Give him a call.
First, let me say YES, I would strongly recommend Mr. Caraquel for any of your immigration needs. His ability to ask all relevant questions and measure the needs of your specific case during the initial consultation, allows him to define and outline the realistic needs and expectation of your individual case. This allows him to provide the client with a clear overview of their case and how he will proceed forward in his legal assistance for your case.
My wife and I wanted to be able to start the process for her U.S. residency after having run into an issue the previous time that she had visited the U.S. Mr Caraquel was very informative of what our options would be from a legal perspective. To be honest, as someone who is always checking and confirming things to the best of my ability, I did a lot of research about the things that Mr. Caraquel told me in our initial consultation. After independently verifying what he had told us, we chose to hire his services for our immigration journey. And I could not be happier with that choice.
Mr. Caraquel and his office provided all of the necessary forms in a very professional, well defined, and easy to follow packet. Information and guidance on all areas of my wife's Adjustment of Status were clearly stated verbally and with helpful notes throughout the paperwork. I must admit, we probably asked the same questions and brought up the same concerns a hundred times during the process, but Mr. Caraquel was always available with a quick, reassuring answer for us. When a USPS mailing mistake caused the loss of one of the USCIS letters (and a lot of worry on our part), Mr. Caraquel explained it's relevance at the moment and rectified it by having it resent and mitigating any issues that it may have caused. From day one, through the day of my wife's immigration interview (APPROVED) and beyond, Mr. Caraquel has been a very valuable asset to myself and my wife.
Mr. Caraquel's ability to handle any questions we had during my wife's immigration process was worth every single penny paid. His professionalism, knowledge of immigration law, high organizational skills, and friendly and helpful attitude reflect highly upon himself and his ability to help any of his clients' needs. I again, strongly recommend Mr. Caraquel for any of your immigration needs.

I've come to know Atty. Nick Caraquel through his fb account under the agency name IDreamAmerica Staffing Services. I knew from the get-go that my teaching application would be legally viable and legitimate. The staffs are efficient and equally reliable. I got hired and visa approved in less than 4 months. Happy and very grateful for finding such a great partner in making my dream job a reality.

My Journey to an Approved H1B VISA
Atty. Nicolas Caraquel has played a significant role in my US immigration journey. I appreciate the service that he and his team has selflessly provided. After my case got RFEd, Atty. Nick competently gave me the guidance I needed until the petition got approved. I really appreciate how they were able to see me through the process. Nothing is impossible if you have a genuine heart in serving and helping people. Atty. Nick, may you bless more people through your expertise. Thank you once again and more power to you!

6 YEARS IN THE MAKING
My husband and I would like to express our sincere and heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for your highly professional and competent services, provided in both a friendly and accessible manner.
We consulted Atty Nick year 2016 for a Fiancé visa -- we reached out to their Facebook page and they have always been very responsive. They took our case and sent all contracts and everything we needed to start the immigration process. A few months later, my husband's father died and his family wanted me to be there, Atty Nick's team helped me with my tourist visa at no extra cost. Plans changed and my husband (now) had to come back to Qatar; putting our fiancé visa on hold. We got married, stayed in Qatar for 2 years; we were undecided if we wanted to move back to states that time. Before moving to Oman, we contacted the Atty Nick to proceed with our IR-1 process, this time. Pandemic came and everything was on hold again. We waited for a couple of years before we got the interview date. But Atty Nick and his team has never left us. They have been there for us at the beginning. Always patient and ready to answer any questions we had at no extra cost. We wouldn't know what to do or how to do it without Atty Nick and his team.
After 6 years, they didn't left us. A big thank you for all the time and effort you gave us. We may be not the easiest to handle, but you have been all nice, and always been respectful. Always gives us update and always follow up with our lacking requirements. We are truly grateful to Atty Nick and the whole team! You are truly the best in the industry! God bless you all!

"Attorney Nick is passionate about our job which is primarily to help immigrants with their immigration concerns. He has a soft spot for them owing maybe to our being immigrants ourselves. Diligent and always on top of things in the immigration field, he is a lawyer whom clients can count on. For such, this colleague deserves my recommendation."
