highly Recommended Immigration Lawyer for same sex marriage

After getting married to my long time partner who was on tourist Visa , I asked the the help of my company to find a good and trustworthy lawyer to help me in the adjustment of my spouse status , they gave me Atty Mercy Sequeira, I made an appointment with her, during the first meeting she m...ade very comfortable, she explained the process and our options , What I like with her was never was judgmental, she treated us with kindness and understanding . During the interview she was there to support us that include the 2 kids of my husband , consistently giving us updates of the current status of our case , until she gave the good news that everything went well and we got finally approved, She also promised that she will still help us with anything even after the approval gratis. Thank you Atty Mercy and more power to you .

Getting a K1 Visa from Mexico

Told me from the beginning about how much Time & Money it would take for a Fiance Visa (K1) from Mexico to go through. When we needed her most was when we were in Ciudad Juarez & needed paperwork, she came through everytime. Bottom line we got the green light for the K1 Visa because of her. Withou...t her I wouldn't of had the patience to do this by myself. Waiting is the hardest part & there is plenty of that , but when you know it upfront it's a little more tolerable. Communication is the most important part to me & she was on the level which was quite refreshing. Thanks for no "bad" surprises Mercy

Excellent Services

"Mercy Sequeira is an excellent and thoroughly competent lawyer. She worked on my petition for the K1 Fiance visa. Mercy experienced the added challenge and difficulty of working on my application whilst based in Sunnyvale, California while I was still living in Australia. Through-out the whole proc...ess, I always found Mercy to be patient, thorough and highly competent in all her representations and dealings with me. Mercy has always been very clear and concise in her explanations of every stage of the visa process. I found her costs to be upfront and reasonable. It has been a pleasure in working with Mercy. I would highly recommend her."

Green Card for the Extraordinary Athlete

Mercy was the second lawyer I hired and needles to say my first experience with another immigration attorney was not so good. I think I had one of the toughest cases to pursue: EB1 category: extraordinary athlete (self petition). I had good qualifications and knew I could get my petition approved - I... just needed someone VERY professional and knowledgeable to help me build my case strong. Mercy was thorough in explaining my case in the greatest detail. I also appreciated that she worked on my case herself, it does make a big difference at the end. My first attorney helped me get only the Denial of my petition which was very heartbreaking. His work was very confusing and sloppy. Then Mercy came along. She was not afraid of the Denial of my petition that I got on the first try and assured me that we can make it work. A lot of immigration attorneys I consulted before Mercy, were not very positive about my case and told me to give up or try something different. Mercy gave me the hope and Im so happy I gave it a second try with her. My petition was approved and I got my green card a little later! I still cannot believe it actually all worked out after so many people told me to give up and that my case was not strong enough. If you believe in something very much, you will always get what you want. Many many thanks to Mercy. I will always be grateful for the chance I was given!

Thank you Mercy!

I have known Mercy Sequeira for 7 years. She helped me and my family on H1B1 and H4 visas renewals and extensions. Mercy started and successfully completed our GC Processing. Any problems that happened during that time were extremely fast handled by Mercy. Even during her vacations she was checking t...he status of our case when it was critical to act promptly and took any actions that were needed. She was always available and ready to answer any questions that we had regarding our case and gave valuable advises and helpful tips. And on personal note, I would like to mention that Mercy went above and beyond the call of duty in my case. I would definitely recommend Mercy Sequeira to anyone.
