It is without hesitation, that i would recommend Atty. Nick Caraquel

The money that I spent to hire this Immigration law firm was worth every penny. In our first meeting they took the time to thoroughly review all of my documents to assure I had completed all requirements and that they were filled out completely and accurately. Atty. Nick Caraquel and his entir...e team took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. It was because Atty. Nick Caraquel and his team were so detailed oriented and prepared, that all of my documents were submitted correctly and my interview went very well . They went as far as to make sure I knew how to prepare and answer the types of questions that I might be asked in the immigration interview. In my final briefing with Atty. Nick Caraquel and his team, they took the time to walk me through a "moc" interview to make sure I was fully prepared for my actual interview the next day. The entire team gave me great confidence and assurance that I was well prepared and ready for my interview. I would truly like to thank Atty. Nick Caraquel and his entire staff for helping me through this stressful process. It is without hesitation that I would recommend Atty. Nick Caraquel for any person that has any immigration concerns. Sincerly, Ellen Wolford

6 YEARS IN THE MAKING

My husband and I would like to express our sincere and heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for your highly professional and competent services, provided in both a friendly and accessible manner. We consulted Atty Nick year 2016 for a Fiancé visa -- we reached out to their Facebook page and they ...have always been very responsive. They took our case and sent all contracts and everything we needed to start the immigration process. A few months later, my husband's father died and his family wanted me to be there, Atty Nick's team helped me with my tourist visa at no extra cost. Plans changed and my husband (now) had to come back to Qatar; putting our fiancé visa on hold. We got married, stayed in Qatar for 2 years; we were undecided if we wanted to move back to states that time. Before moving to Oman, we contacted the Atty Nick to proceed with our IR-1 process, this time. Pandemic came and everything was on hold again. We waited for a couple of years before we got the interview date. But Atty Nick and his team has never left us. They have been there for us at the beginning. Always patient and ready to answer any questions we had at no extra cost. We wouldn't know what to do or how to do it without Atty Nick and his team. After 6 years, they didn't left us. A big thank you for all the time and effort you gave us. We may be not the easiest to handle, but you have been all nice, and always been respectful. Always gives us update and always follow up with our lacking requirements. We are truly grateful to Atty Nick and the whole team! You are truly the best in the industry! God bless you all!

Professional and great results

My wife and I were looking for an immigration lawyer, after the first company we hired, let us down multiple times. Someone in a FB Group recommended to reach out to Nicolas Caraquel. We messaged him, the response was fairly quick, we had a short consultation and then when we figured, that the price... was fair, decided to continue our immigration case with him. During the process, he and his team kept us informed and guided us. When they realized, that my wife became eligible for faster processing, they acted quickly and got everything together properly. Before the immigration interview, we got 2 sessions of “coaching”, where all our questions were answered and it was explained in deep details, what’s going to happen. We followed the advices and everything went quick and smooth with DHS. I would highly recommend Nick Caraquel to anyone, who is need of a good immigration lawyer!

"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."
