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 .

Quick case and great results. :)

I was looking for a lawyer so I went on a search for one. In the end I had a choice of 3 of them but what ended me choosing Mercy was how informed she was on my type of case compared to the other lawyers who instead sent their paralegals to sort out my case. The other paralegals told me things like "...well I'm not sure , let me call my partner" or "yeah I think" we can do that.". Something that I really didn't want to hear. So when I went with Mercy I could totally see the differance. I explained my case to Mercy and right away explained to me all the steps and what exactly would happen. I got all my questions answered and my papers put together to be sent out. I also liked the way she worked because she put together my file a certain way so the office reviving it could just flip through and check. I think she did everything in a timely matter and I especially like that ahem personally handles everything so you know that those years of experience are going to be used with you. And even still when we had a price miscommunication she was really understanding and ended up working something out. Over all having Mercy as a lawyer gave me peace of mind because it was really easy to tell that she knew how to handle my type of case. The only downside was that I lived about a hour away from her office but even then she fixed it up so that I would only have to come a couple times . but I think it was way worth it because my case got approved and I could not be anymore happier!!

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."

Excellent attorney for Immigration cases

My case for AOS was straightforward and Mercy was prompt, knowledgable and very responsive throughout the process. Would definitely recommend her.

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.
