Melissa Oklan

I am extremely grateful for Mr. Kaushik Ranchod's office for their outstanding service in my J-1 waiver case. They helped me to obtain my J1 visa waiver under exceptional hardship. The team is reliable and knowledgeable, especially Mrs. Melissa Oklan. She has a great experience in J1 waiver which all...owed her to build a strong case. Further, she helped me through every step in this long process and made the whole process very simple for me. Mrs. Oklan was always attentive to details and responsive to my numerous emails and questions. Notably, she was always nice and very supportive in this hard long process that lasted over the two years. I cannot thank her enough for all her hard work. I strongly recommend Melissa Oklan and Ranchod’s office to anyone who needs help with J-1 waiver.

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.
