It’s worth the wait

We’ve been atty. Nick Caraquel’s client since June 2017. My wife found him thru Lefora’s page. He has helped us especially me in maintaining legal status in the US. Although the process that we choose took us longer to achieved my green card, Atty Nick has been always there to guide us and walk us th...rough the well strategized plan of our American dream. He and his team always follow up and update us in every step. When the visa bulletin became current for resident’s spouse, he immediately advised us to get married and collected all the requirements in a very clear and detailed instructions. After few months of waiting, we had the uscis immigration interview schedule. He and his team even spent sessions with us to prepare me And my wife for the interview. It was very helpful and somehow relieved our stress. In Aug 27,2020 we passed the interview and can’t thank God and Atty Nick and his team for everything. We established a very good relationship with Atty Nick. We are very comfortable to discussed our plan with him and he made it come to reality. He is very professional, dependable and trustworthy. Again thank you Atty Nick and IdreamAmerica team.

A Great Advocate, Lawyer and now lifelong friend

I am very blessed, fortunate to have found Nick Caraquel to handle my K1/K2 immigration case. Although there are thousands of K1 cases ours was as difficult paperwork wise as they can be. Everything from the Philippines notoriously miss spelled birth certificates to the even more notoriously long wai...ting times to make corrections and in our case correction of the corrections. Attorney Caraquel and his staff are extremely thorough and demanding in us providing documents and pictures, I heard from others that it was too much but Attorney Caraquel always comforted, assured me what he and his incredible staff were providing is as guaranteed a solution as is possible. When it was time for the interview at the US Embassy in Manila Nick's staff, Dianne and Jennifer had my Fiancée so completely prepared the embassy officer looked through our packet they had prepared and only asked two questions. My Fiancée answered them and then he congratulated welcoming her to America asking if she had any questions, she was so overcome with joy she said you don't have any other questions, he replied our packet was so complete and professionally done his decision was a simple one. I highly recommend Attorney Caraquel for all of you needing a solution to your happiness. I will forever be grateful for his advocacy on our behalf.

Par Excellence!

Sir Nick Caraquel along with his staff had done an excellent job handling our two cases, starting with the K1 visa and the Permaneng Residence status. He is not only very knowledgeable with immigration law and process, he is very passionate of what he does, and it reflects on how he deals with his cl...ients, it’s very personal. He is very patient answering questions and explaining everything to us. He does not take his clients nor his cases for granted. Although he has plenty of clients, he made us feel like we were his only client by the attention he gave to our cases even to the smallest detail, very thorough and I believed that’s the reason both our cases went smoothly and were approved sooner than we expected. He’s an immigration lawyer par excellence!

Widower Visa Approved

Atty. Nick Caraquel and his team Idream-America, Thank you very much for helping me in my visa journey. It is a bittersweet journey. It was a sorrowful beginning but the sun is shining now. My visa is approved!!! I was delighted when the lady Consul told me that my documents are well organized and w...ell prepared. Atty., every steps of the way all through out the process your team is doing an amazing job from providing me list of documents that I should prepare, checking every documents I have, follow-up me (I procrastinate), arranging and preparing my documents. I can asked any questions anytime. The coaching really helped a lot. It prepared me for possible questions and how to answer those questions. I’m very grateful to the whole Idream America team for being efficient, knowledgeable , and well organized in what they are doing. Atty. Nick Caraquel daghan Salamat and God Bless.

"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."
