H1-B to U.S. Citizen

Mercy came highly recommended to me by a family friend who had also used her services. At the time I contacted Mercy, I had obtained an H1-B after much wrangling and work on my part because the lawyer who had been hired to work on my H1-B was incompetent. Mercy was like a breath of fresh air becau...se from the time I contacted her, she let me know precisely what I needed to do in order to gain U.S. citizenship. As anyone who has gone through the Naturalization proecss knows, this is a lengthy, time consuming and form filled process. Mercy made this process easy. All I had to do was fill out some forms and send the information back and Mercy took care of the rest. Mercy's fees are quite reasonable and whenever I hear from someone about how 'expensive' the naturalization or any other immigration process is, I don't know what they are talking about because I feel I got quite a good deal- Mercy did all the work and I just gave her some money to take care of the headache for me! Overall, Mercy has a straightforward, no nonsense style and if you don't want someone who beats around the bush or speaks in legalese, hire Mercy to take care of your immigration process for you.

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.
