Maria-Fernanda Melgarejo

Fernanda is an excellent Immigration Attorney! She meticulously guided me throughout the filing of my father’s petition, and through this process it was very evident that she is truly a subject matter expert. She really cares about helping you and goes above and beyond to make the process, whic...h is inherently stressful, run as smooth as possible. I cannot thank you enough for all your help and support, Fernanda!

María Fernanda is one of the best lawyers I have work with. She is responsable, kind, efficient and I’m glad we chose to work with her and John Ainsworth. she is there to help us anytime, also all the immigration process we made with her in the past, it has worked perfectly for us. Thank you so much!...!!!

As an aspiring Mexican filmmaker I knew my chances were slim when trying to apply for a green card for the USA. A career in the arts is not always the easier one to justify as important, specially to immigration services. From the beginning I decided I wanted to apply for a EB-1 visa instead of the s...impler “artist” ones that are not for immigration. I wanted to have the chance to be a resident and not just a visitor. In the beginning I contacted five different attorneys and at the end I decided I would work with Jacob Ratzan´s firm. I was fortunate enough for my case to land on Fernanda´s hands. She is the most professional, understanding, patient, thoughtful, hard working and attentive collaborator I ever had in legal matters. Her services and attitude made me feel appreciated and confident since she was someone who really was honestly rooting for my case to come through. And that´s something money alone can´t buy. Immigration is a nerve wracking and exhausting process. My case took almost two years but at every point, Jacob and Fernanda made me feel appreciated and like a human being. Their hard work, experience and guidance on this grueling process was invaluable and I´ll never forget how much they helped me. After all the hard work and everything invested on it, my case dossier was thicker than the yellow pages book and fortunately the outcome was positive: My application for a EB-1 Immigration Visa was successfully approved. I could not believe it. They say it only takes one person to believe in you so you can make a change in the world. I know these people´s work changes the lives of those who are blessed of having the chance of having their cases on their hands. And for being one of them, I´ll always be grateful.
