Rachel did a lot for me, she's the best lawyer ever. Without Rachel I don't know where I will be right now, she help me get my citizenship and she still checks up on me everyday making sure I'm doing the right thing. She always preaching to me now Durrhan you know nothing's guaranteed but she always... makes it happen for me, and honestly I truly do appreciate you Rachel Rao.

Compassionate, caring and helpful attorney!

I am very thankful we found Mrs Rau. She is the best immigration Lawyer I have met. She helped me with my mom residence and visa status. One of the most honest Lawyers I have come in contact with. I most definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help in this matter!

Best Immigration Attny!

Where do I start? Rachel began assisting me with the immigration process for my wife 5 years ago. I've known Rachel for approximately 7 years now. She assisted me through a difficult process (at least I thought it was) and made it so simple. My wife is from Mexico and Rachel helped us through t...he entire process effortlessly. She removed much stress from our shoulders and it was truly a gift from God to have met her and work with her during this process. She's extremely efficient, reliable, honest, and very reputable. I can't recommend anyone better. There are too many "bad" immigration attny's that will take your money and do nothing Rachel is not one of those. I'll never forget the first time I meet with her to discuss the process of my wife's citizenship. She told me she would review the information and decide if she would take on the case. Most attny's would have just accepted right then and there. NOT Rachel, she wanted to make sure that in fact we were doing things correctly and there was no financial gain or misc reason for my wife's citizenship that it was in fact that we love each other and wanted to live together in Miami. Thank you Rachel for always assisting and for being there at a moment's notice!! You truly are the best at what you do!

Excellent, trustworthy, dependable and knowledgeable attorney

My wife and I recently used Rachel Rao as our attorney for my green card (permanent resident) application. it was amazing to see how much time and effort Rachel had put into the documentation and evaluation of all the information and application forms that were submitted to USCIS. she did an awesome... job in not only sending the application on time, but also in reviewing the documentation to make sure that everything was taken care of and covered prior to the interview. we had no trouble getting an interview because of the thorough and meticulous work that Rachel had invested in our case. Rachel helped us through each step of the process. From the very beginning in understanding what the application meant as far as travel etc and then also how we could potentially affect work and the legal status, all the way upto the interview. even though we weren't planning on Rachel to be there for the interview, she was kind enough to follow through to make sure we had everything ready and prepared prior to the interview. Thanks to her, we didn't have any issues, I mean no issues at all, and now I will be getting my green card soon! If you want a trustworthy attorney who has the experience and knowledge in immigration, has your interests in mind, and can deliver positive results we would strongly recommend going with Rachel Rao. We had a very good experience working with her. Good luck in your search!
