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.

Citizenship and IR visa approved

At first, it is very difficult for us to start processing our papers for my husband’s citizenship and my petition. (Honestly, we don't have any idea about it) Until one day, my husband accidentally met his friend whom told a story about how his friend brought his wife in New York. He gave us his lawy...er’s number so that we may contact him if we have inquiries. Without a doubt, we messaged attorney Nick Caraquel and he immediately replied us and asked our situation. He gave us pieces of advice on how to solve it. He became our good adviser. He's very genuine, approachable and never fail to respond us anytime of the day. Even when our papers have already processed, he kept on updating us until such time, my husband became a US citizen and until my visa was approved. Thank you attorney Nick Caraquel. Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to update us and of course for giving us courage and hope. Without your ability and guidance, my husband is still a green card holder and my petition is still a plan. You are such a great blessing to everyone and also to idream America team ( New York and Davao) for answering all my questions on time that really helped us a lot in processing our papers. We'll be forever grateful for you attorney and idream America team. God bless everyone.

Immigration expert and customer service oriented attorney.

Nick and his team of IDream America is your best choice for your immigration solutions. We had a very complex K1 case. The documents started getting lost between NVC and USCIS, back and forward after our application one year and a half ago. This no make our life easy because each month the file was l...ost several times, and and nobody told us what was happening. We contacted Nick and immediately he gave an advice that make us relax and without doubts we hired their services. We notice that at the same time, the case start moving forward. No more magic file disappearances, the process concluded shortly after he took charge of our case, and finally, my fiancé had her interview and her visa approval. We were annoying customers, we know that, because we knew how the process develops and we were anxious to finish it soon. The IDream America team, Specially our attorney Nick Caraquel were very patient and always answered our questions respectfully. Definitely was a great choice to hire their services. Thanks, Nick, Dianne, and Andre you are the best.

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

"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."
