Reliable attorney, compassionate, great service

I have been working with the offices of Mercy Sequeira for over ten years. I first had contact with her offices when my employer filed my H-1 B visa on my behalf. at that time I lived outside the country. Mercy was very detailed oriented, answered all my emails and assured me that the whole process w...ould run smoothly. I lived outside the country at the time my H-1B petition was filed. Mercy Sequeira was always available by email to answer all my questions and help myself and my family procure our H-1B visas to enter the United States. Over the years she represented me on my H-1B extensions and then for my green card, the whole green card process took several years as a result of the backlogs. I finally was able to file my adjustment of status. She represented my wife and children in their adjustment of status as well and thanks to her hard work, my whole family including myself became permanent residents. We eventually applied to become U.S, citizens and she represented us during the process. I can proudly say my whole family are U.S. citizens now thanks to her hard work. We couldn't be happier with her service and are grateful for her kindness and compassion during this very long and stressful process. We are all now proud U.S. Citizens and highly recommend her to others. She always gave us her time, put our minds at ease and was very reasonable with her fees.

Citizenship

Mercy helped me with my citizenship process. Throughout she was responsive, punctual and professional. She researched the details of my case and her advice was spot on.

Navigating and obtaining a Green Card for an elderly parent

Mercy Sequeira helped me navigate and expeditiously obtain a green card for my eldery father. She was extremely efficient with the process, which took all of 5 months. She managed our expectations well and kept us informed of all developments and requests. She knew exactly what forms to file, what... supporting documents to provide and when to push the system. What could have resulted in a complete stand still of the application was overcome with alternative documentation. Mercy was able to think out of the box and her strategy worked. The end result was a green card within 5 months of filing the application. We are so grateful to her and would highly recommend her services to others seeking help.

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.

Very Good Immigration lawyer

Mercy was our Immigration lawyer for family purposes. She was very helpful throughout the visa process. Professional, sincere and easily reachable via phone, email for any questions. She was very prompt in responding to emails even during her vacation. Her presence during the interview process was ex...tremely helpful in my Moms case. I highly recommend her services for immigration visa related issues.
