Melissa Oklan

I had a complicated case of IR-1 Visa from India. I needed my waiver in order to get the LPR card. Melissa is very detail oriented and focused. She has the level of expertise to identify what's best for the case per the circumstances. I highly recommend Melissa for I 601 waiver and I am very grateful... to her for preparing a perfect draft and whole I 601 packet for me. I am United with my family back in US and I am very thankful to her.

My same sex spouse and I searched the internet and our local area for an immigration attorney to help us get a J1 Visa hardship waiver and then a marriage based Green Card. Melissa Oklan was excellent with guiding us on what to do to prepare for the J1 Visa waiver. While USCIS can be very slow to ...act, Melissa and the team at Ranchod Law reassured us the process was going as expected. We got the waiver 9 months after submitting it. Yesenia is the Green Card specialist and she helped us with that process which just resulted in my spouse earning the Green Card. We are so happy and thankful for the Ranchod Law guidance in these 2 processes. We found emailing to be the best way to communicate and either Melissa or Yesenia would always respond to us. They are busy, so we tried to limit our questions to specific issues we thought we needed to know. Don't bog them down with hypothetical situations and all will go well. We highly recommend Ranchod Law and Melissa Oklan and Yesenia Rosas for immigration legal guidance!

Melissa helped me obtain waiver of J1 (two-year home residency requirement) based on hardship to my US citizen spouse. Melissa closely guided my wife and I from the assembly of relevant documents, writing personal statements and the collection of additional data points to support the case. Melissa pr...ovides end-to-end coverage of all aspects of J1 waiver application. Melissa set clear expectations for likelihood of success and described the risks and weak aspects of the case. Melissa talked me through the response plan both in the outcome of favorable recommendation and denial.

I'm thankful for Melissa Oklan and Kaushik for their outstanding service in my J-1 exceptional hardship waiver. Their professional approach is superb and they helped me through every step in this long process. They have built a strong case, filed it in a timely manner, and followed up with me regular...ly. Actually, Melissa Oklan went further step and had direct communications with my employer regarding my J-1 waiver, which was very helpful to keep my job. I strongly recommend Melissa Oklan and Kaushik Ranchod for J-1 waiver giving their extensive experience
