Heart of a Lawyer

I almost had forgotten the day I started my petition case with Atty. Nick Caraquel. My mind was filled with queries-queries that were too complicated, yet all directing to a single straight answer " I need my case to get approved!". Everything went fast with the help of Atty. Caraquel. He demonstrate...d a strong dedication to my H1b visa application, and he could handle complicated matters competently. His team was very willing to do what was necessary to ensure that the processing was done properly and in a timely fashion. I really appreciate their "extra" effort in the progress of my case. Not to forget our constant communication, just to make sure we were on the same page. I really got "good value" for their services. Voila! My petition was approved with ease. After a couple of days, I got my US visa appointment. A wave of nausea suddenly came over me. You bet... it's exhaustion! I was weak. Too weak to allow myself be carried away by the distractions and pressure. However, Atty. Nick Caraquel and his team, i.e. Sir Jay and Sir Andy, gave me fruitful coaching that lasted for two consecutive days. Their interview packet was of great help when I had my interview. The questions were on point. The tips were effective. Hence, my visa was approved. For sure, Atty. Nick and his team feel some sense of euphoria. I, for one, am glad not only because of having a break from visa frenzies, but also, it's a time to reflect on how much I learned in the whole application process. In a nutshell, Atty. Nick Caraquel has the heart of a LAWYER. May God bless your heart, Atty. Nick Caraquel and to the whole team! Mabuhay!

Beyond my expectation.

Atty. Nick is very specific on my case. He explained possible scenarios in a simplest way for me to understand. He is not just an Immigration lawyer but also he will be a friend who will definitely give his 100% support just like he did to me. My anxiety prior my citizenship interview was 100% but af...ter the coaching, i became more confident and less anxious. Atty, Nick’s staff are all professional and respectful. No dumb questions and they will attend to your legal needs. Highly recommend them beyond 5 ⭐️.

Client

I came in the US as a J1- Exchange Visitor. Unexpectedly met the love of my life, got married, until he petitioned me. I have consulted a few immigration lawyers before I hired Atty. Nick. From then on, my AOS processing went very smoothly. I knew that we are in good hands. Atty. Nick and his team wa...s extremely helpful, very responsive throughout the process, patiently explaining all details and above all, they are very professional. I would highly recommend Atty. Nick and his team for US immigration needs. Kudos to you, Atty! :)

Spousal Visa

First of all, I would like to thank God for his guidance throughout this process that he made things possible for me with progress. This is a dream come true. I would also like to extend my gratitude to my loving husband for his patience, moral and financial support, and for helping my applications b...e filled. And finally LDR no more for us. I thank the Lord for giving us Atty. Nick is a tool for us to make things easy even though there’s a delay due to pandemic, he still able to fulfill his job for us. We value his dedication and his hard work from day 1 until the end of the process. We would also like to thank his team IDA (Davao team) Sir Jhonard, Ma’am Leilanie, and Ma’am Mila for their never-ending support. Lots of paperwork that the lawyer and his team completed fast and accurately. They answer all my questions and guide me in the complex completing of my application. Thanks to Sir Khevin for coaching me on the possible interview questions. For those who want to process their visa application with less hassle, I would highly recommend Atty. Nick Caraquel. Don’t be afraid to inquire him and hire him because you won’t regret it. GodBless and more Power Ecclesiastes 3:11 'He has made everything beautiful in its time.'

Excellent service

We filed the petition for our son Jan 2018,it was approved july 2018. The lawyer we hired unfortunately had stroked and retired from the service., so he turned over my son’s case to his co-lawyer. for more than a year, there’s no progress on my son’s petition after it was approved, we keep on calling.../ follow up/ asking updates but the lawyer always said Nothing and No updates yet..I feel not satisfied with what our lawyer was doing , So We/ I decided to search and look for a Filipino immigrant lawyer to handle my son’s case.. Atty Nick Caraquel a brilliant lawyer from Queens who made it up...He and his staffs were able to give us an excellent job..With God’s Grace, my son’s petition was approved..The staffs po give us a very satisfying assistance mula sa umpisa til and even it was approved..THANK YOU LORD, THANK ATTY NICK CARAQUEL and STAFFS.. keep up the good work! God bless❤️❤️❤️

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."
