Honest and dependable

I hired attorney Mercy Sequeira to assist me in procuring my TN visa, then H-1B visa, then green card and finally my citizenship. She represented me for over six years finally helping me with my citizenship application. She was very detailed oriented, responsive and promptly responded to my phone c...alls and emails. Her fee structure is very competitive compared to other attorneys in the area. Because of all her work, I can now proudly state that I am a citizen of the United States.

Mercy has been EXCELLENT

I have known Mercy as of November 2011 when I looked her up on the Internet. My husband and I had our phone consultation over the phone where we discussed our case and she had answers to all our questions. She was very professional and knowledgeable at the same time. During the time of filing, my ...husband and I were in different states, we thought that the process was very simple, and my husband decided to fly from new York to California for 3 days and complete all the necessary paperwork in that time. When I notified Mercy, she let me know that the process is not as simple as we think. Then she invited me to come to her office and explained me everything in detail, gave me the list of documents and requirements that needed to be completed. We had a deadline set to complete the paperwork because my husband had already booked his flight. Within one week, Mercy completed all the necessary documents and all our communication was done via email making it very connvenient. On the day my husband landed, we went straight to her office and signed all the paperwork and she sent out our document on the day we had scheduled. She was very quick to respond to her emails as well as phone calls. She makes the process very simple and easy.. And her fees are very reasonable compared to other attorneys. I myself spent a lot of money on consultations with other lawyers and Mercy's prices were best out of all. We had no knowledge whatsoever on filing a petition on marital basis, Mercy has been great with her communication, she notifies us of every communication or letter she receives from the INS. I'm very happy and satisfied of having her by my side during this process.

Provided top quality, clear, precise and prompt service for my H1B petition

I am very thankful to Mercy for handling all the formalities involved in filing my petition for H1B visa processing. She got started on the petition procedure almost immediately after collecting all the essential information from me in no more than a couple of email exchanges. I had absolutely no id...ea as to what documents to fill up or how to move them around several offices. Mercy helped me with I-129, ETA 9035, support letter, notice of entry.. and a bunch of other documents. In just a few days I had the complete set of processed documents, that are required for the Visa, delivered to me. She also gave clear instructions on email and telephone as to how to apply for the Visa interview as well as clarified many questions that kept popping every now and then. She is very professional , yet warm and friendly. She makes sure you understood all the instructions. She responds promptly and is very committed to the task at hand. I strongly recommend Mercy for helping out with any Visa petition formalities.
