I would pick Mercy every time without thinking about it

Mercy Sequeira was a crucial part of my amazing Odyssey after having being pre-selected on the Diversity Lottery Green Card. She made me feel safe and helped me through almost 1 year process since I received the letter that changed my life. Today, I could say happily that the process is over, soon I ...will receive my Green Card and I will have more opportunities in this country because of that. Furthermore, I can’t feel happier or grateful for having her as my lawyer. Mercy guided me professionally and all the deadlines were perfect. Also, she was with me at the important day of my Interview for the Status Adjustment and when I saw her with her attitude I knew that everything was perfect. For all this reasons and more, today I can say that if I needed to choose again somebody to help me in a legal process in the immigration field I would pick Mercy every time without even thinking about it, she was like an angel that helped me when I needed more. Thanks so much Mercy Sequeira for all your help.

Re-entry permit, no surprises

No surprises is what one wants in legal procedures. Mercy Sequeira was always helpful and timely with the documentation. I got exactly what I expected -- the only delays were in the US government. I would definitely recommend her services for other immigration issues.

Extra-ordinary delay in filing H-4 case

Mercy has been my husband's primary go-to immigration lawyer for almost a decade. When I approached Mercy for my H4 RFE (extraordinary delay in filing), she offered a very smart solution and had a very thorough approach to how we should respond to it. She was very systematic in her research of how to... deal with my case. In the end, she was able to draft up the response to my rfe in just a couple of days and my case was approved! Super happy that we made the decision to hire Mercy for the case.

Green Card

During the entire 2 year Green card process Mercy was helpful, patient and meticulously followed up at every step of the process making it hassle free. At every step Mercy spent time explaining the process and the law. She was very approachable and would wholeheartedly recommend her.

A good attorney and a good human being

I was referred to Mercy by a friend and noticed she was well rated by her clients in Avvo.com. It was a status adjustment case and and I explained my situation through email. She got back to me quickly. We had a few back and forth emails, and one in person meeting. Mercy was very clear about what doc...uments were necessary for my application. She also had a reasonable attorney fees. My case got through quickly and doing business with Mercy was a nice experience. After going through the process, I realize why her clients give her high rating consistently.
