Excellent Lawyer, Highly Recommend!

I wanted to get my application for a US Green card right first time, and this would have been very difficult to do on my own. I needed an attorney with a professional approach and excellent knowledge of the up to date US legal immigration system that I could trust for such an important thing- I found... all these qualities with Atty Nick Caraquel. Nick was able to properly guide me through a maze of numerous procedures and documentation, ensuring that each stage was completed correctly, fully and in a timely manner. As a result, I was able to obtain a US Green card within a matter of months instead of waiting for years, and I am delighted at the life changing opportunities that this has now given me in America.

Highly satisfied with Attorney Caraquel's work and would recommend him to anyone

Myself and wife retained Attorney Nicolas Caraquel for the immigrant visa petitions of our two children in The Philippines. In our few meetings with him when we started the process, he was very professional, anticipated potenial problems and suggested possible solutions. Throughout the whole process ...from filing of I130 to the visa application/interview in Manila, Nick was very meticuolus in the preparation of all necessary documents and filing on time. He kept us well informed whenever there was any communication from USCIS on the status of the applications or request for additional documents. His very careful attention to all the details and anticipation of potential problems and pre-emptive actions saved the day. We are very happy that our children were finally granted visa without a hitch.

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."
