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!!!

Best Experience Ever

Hello there, This all just started last year. I know I could right a book about Nick but I know I have to be few with my words and that will be difficult. And just let me start off by saying I would highly recommend Nick to anyone not only as a lawyer who is extremely helpful in everyway and at the s...ame time very professional but someone who actually cares about your case as if it was himself going through the process. In the beginning I was very hesitant in hiring a lawyer and after many conversations with Nick and the one night he talk with me and my fiance as well as my fiance's mother that said it all for us and it was done. Nick was at our side step by step , paperwork was very organized , easy to follow and understand which made our process very speedy and really I was not expecting such a quick response and approval as we did for our petition. From there I felt our dream was becoming closer and closer and that of course is with the guidance of Nick. I do have to tell you I have never wanted so much in my life as I do now and that was for my fiance Amer to be with me here in America and really without Nick there to guide us and be with us on this journey and a new beginning in our lives I really do not feel it would have not been possible. Process and things always change on daily basis and the service that Nick Caraquel gave to us was most excellent, affordable, reasonable, helpful, understanding, presentable, and most of all he made us believe and that I have to say talks more then words can say. I , Rachell and Amer would absolutely highly recommend Nick Caraquel to anyone who is in need of not only a great and passionate lawyer but also a gift from GOD.. We thank you again and again Nick for making our dreams come true. We will see you soon face to face as Amer says. Sincerely take care and we wish you all the best.

My Wife's (APPROVED) Immigration

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 individ...ual 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.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
