Expidite case with Atty. Nick Caraquel

Atty. Nick Caraquel handled our daughters case late nov.2016 .we were very sad about what happened, beacuse my case (ir1) was approved but my daughter was put on hold without telling us any reason and told us to file another case for my daughter as soon as possible so that she can be with me to trave...l after my visa will expired. I was just down into tears hearing that i could possibly left our daughter alone in the Philippines.Days had past after the interview luckily we found the best immigration law firm in my opinion.We cannot say more how thankful our family is to be with Atty. Nick Caraquel in this journey. From my husbands first conversation,he correctly predicted what to anticipate with our daughter's case. His expertise and friendly approach gave us the confidence to trust everything to him after having a bad expirience before on our last atty. He asked to expidite our daughters case december 13,2016 and who would have taught that it could be granted dec.14,2016. Atty. nick maybe has a magic spell,kidding aside he is just very konwledgeable and experience with the field.He impressed us not only with his professionalism, but also with the art of communication as an outstanding atty. He worked with us 24hours with this case and ensuring us that our daughter will never be seperated from us. And after all of the holidays in the month of dec. my daughter's case was approved jan 13,2017 and finally we were all together now,my daughter is now enjoying the snow her in new york with me and her dad.I wish that we came to Atty. Nick Caraquel firm earlier for professional assistance.that could have save tons of sleepless nights and lots of tears.But glad that we did, thankyou so much atty. for being with us with this journey.May you continue to help more separate families to be together you were really a big blessing to many of us.. we highly recommended you and your team thankyou so much

LDR NO MORE!

We cannot say enough good things about the service we received from Nick Caraquel. He should be highly commended for his efficiency, expertise, and knowledge of the work he do. There are times where situations seemed so rough, but he helped smooth things out. He just kept on pushing us to believe tha...t our case can get approved though we are under the category of the SameSexMarriage. I even remember him telling us “I wouldn’t accept your case if I know it wouldn’t get approved.” (And he proved it!) His confidence brought an end to our long distance relationship at the time he promised. (Impressive!) He even promised to bring my visa before Christmas and he did!!! My interview went so well that the consul doesn’t even have any questions to ask me anymore since everything was well organized and prepared. His interview coaching was harder, actually. LOL. He just knows how to demonstrate extraordinary support to his clients, works hard to prepare his cases, and is willing to endure our stress just to give clients what they deserve. Thanks to you attorney and to the legal team that supports you or that you support for assisting us and for putting an end to our long distance relationship. You obviously have an amazing heart for bringing families together!!! Can't wait to see my love soon!!!

Polite, Organized, affordable, the BEST

I was in Korea when Chris and I have finally decided to hire you as our lawyer to process our K1 visa application. At first, I was so worried to come back to the Philippines considering my illegal status in Korea but you have told me that everything will be okay. You promised me that you will bring ...me to USA before Christmas. And you did! Our visa is approved! You we’re so patience answering all our queries and you have prepared me so well in to my interview. Everything was hassle free. All we did was just to sign and send this and that. I didn’t imagine that this is gonna be easy as this. Your service fee is very reasonable. Thank you for helping us to be together again. We will see you in NYC. GODBLESS Atty Nicolas M. Caraquel.

Excellent, personalized service

I hired Atty. Nick Caraquel for my EB2-National Interest Waiver application and he did a great job and excellent service. From the start, he laid out our strategy on how to get the petition ready. Early on, he sent out instructions detailing the things I needed to prepare in order for him to properl...y write the petition. Atty. Nick was very approachable during this process and generous with his time and resources whenever I need help. He will answer my calls and be available at our appointed consultation times. He drafted and edited all the recommendation letters that were sent out to different professors, making sure that the importance of my work and achievements were highlighted in these letters. Atty. Nick meticulously wrote a very strong petition for my case, making sure that the importance of my research was in the national interest of the US by providing proofs through government documents and/or scientific publications. He made sure that we cover all our bases and submit a very strong case with proper proofs and documentation. As a result, we did not get an RFE after the initial review and my case was approved. I am now awaiting for my green card to be delivered. During the entire process, Atty. Nick was always available to talk with and discuss the case. After we submitted the petition, he would constantly update me and answer my questions about the case. Even when I changed jobs while the petition was pending, Atty. Nick was quick to offer his legal advise on what I should do and how to deal with the legal requirements. I truly am satisfied with how the entire process went and Atty. Nick made sure that we have plans for any eventuality. However, he was very confident that our case was strong and that we covered everything in the petition and in the end, it was approved. I highly recommend Atty. Nick Caraquel, for all your immigration needs. He has a proven track record of good performance and personalized service. Thank you!

"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."
