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.

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 .

Mercy helped bring our family together!

Mercy was instrumental in helping to reunite our family! My husband was living/working in another country and I was a U.S. citizen living in the U.S. with our two minor children. Our case was extremely complicated yet she guided us completely along the way. She made numerous calls to the embassies an...d did whatever was needed to get us through the process. In all of this she never gouged us on the prices either. We are completely grateful to Mercy and 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!

Attentive to detail

It was several years ago, over 10, when I had my immigration work done. I remember the day I went for my final interview and I was told that I was rejected because of a change in the law. However, Mercy knew that the law had not come into effect as yet (or was it the other way around). Anyways, she c...alled the office in Pittsburgh and had them review my case. I was called back and approved.
