Melissa Oklan

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!

We just wanted to take a few mins to thank Melissa Oklan for all her hard work and devotion to our J1 hardship waiver case. She assisted us and answered every little question we had with professionalism and transparency along our long journey. Initially, we were overwhelmed with stressed and continua...lly worried about our future before working with Melissa; however she was able to help put those fears aside for us by continually remaining positive and encouraging. I can attest that today my family is now living stress free. We now look forward to our future with hope an joy, when it was once filled with anxiety of the unknown. My family feels eternally grateful to Melissa and the Ranchod Law Firm.

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.

The service has been exceptional!! we truly could not be happier with the way Attorney Melissa Olklan and the Ranchod Law Group have handled our case. You answered all of our questions we had throughout the process, you prepared the best case for us, and although it has been a long process, we had co...nfidence in you throughout the entire time.
