More like a friend than an attorney!

My wife and I went through Nick for our k1 visa and after doing so, could not imagine going through the process any other way. The visa process was rather intimidating, but Nick being the guy he is, made it a breeze. Initiating the process was simple, he made sure my wife and I fully understood wha...t we were going to be getting into what the fees were all up front, answered any questions we had and this is before we even made the commitment. I work on a ship and communication can be tricky at best. Nick was amazingly accommodating and we got the ball rolling when I was abroad! From the moment we started talking about our case, it was like dealing with an uncle or someone in the family. Not only that, but Nick's ability to speak my wife's native language made everything extremely comfortable. We all knew what was going on, there was no confusion and if ever we had a question or an issue Nick made himself available to answer or clarify in both our languages. Every paper and packet we received was laid out crystal clear and with easy to follow instructions. As simple as receiving a prepared packet, signing and returning. Done. We always had a dialogue with Nick. Anytime we would be receiving forms to sign or sending requirements to Nicks office or anytime between, we would get a phone call letting us know to expect mail or give an update and then we would just chat! Words and my lack of ability to express them cannot convey how genuinely friendly Nick is. Our experience from start to finish was always professional but I am happy to say we had fun too. We always knew Nick was "our" guy. We had an issue with getting our interview date at USCIS due to a local back log and they kept sending us conflicting dates. No sweat, Nick took care of it and got us set up. Once we had our interview date, we were sent our last packet from Nick containing all the necessary paperwork USCIS would require, but even better we had a interview-prep packet all laid out for us. Not only that, but we even had a Skype practice session and a chance to answer any last minute questions. Amazing. Working with Nick was a great pleasure. He handles everything, keeps you posted, genuinely wants you to achieve your immigration goals and does everything in his power to make it happen. My wife just received her combo card a couple days ago and it's all thanks to our new found friend. For anyone out there wondering where to start on this journey, my wife and have only one answer: "Call Nicolas Caraquel". A&M

Review for Atty Nick Caraquel

We contacted Atty Nick Caraquel to help with I-129 fiancé visa peririon because of long wait period for approval from USCIS. Atty Nick was able to push the petition through the process. He also contacted the Senators from my home State of Montana. Atty Caraquel was very professional and organized ...and helped with coaching for interview at US Embassy in Philippines. We also hIred Atty Caraquel to file Change of Status paperwork. Again, Atty Caraquel's work was very organized and professional. The Change of Status went very smooth and fast (filed paperwork June 2016 and Greencard arrived September 2016)

Mission accomplished

The attorney was very nice and easy to deal with in the whole process until then everything is accomplish. He was eager to help and ready to answer my question with honesty. He made sure that everything will be in guarantee with assurance. I am always up to date with my status and my papers. It was f...ast and hassle free and most of all he is now the reason why everything is falling into its proper place. I would like to acknowledge him for everything.

Excellent and professional service

We are very grateful that we got the services of Attorney Nick Caraquel. He is very organized and precised in his work. He really guided and supported us in our application filing up to the USCIS interview. Our case was approved definitely because of his exceptional work.

"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."
