Melissa was so professional, attentive, and highly knowledgeable about the J-1 process. She guided me clearly through my hardship waiver and made me feel supported every step of the way. I totally recommend anyone to work with them if planning on using this avenue.

ROMAN NAGIN

I could have never completed my J1 Waiver journey without my attorney, Melissa Oklan. I previously got denied a “no objection” J1 waiver with a different law firm but Melissa fought for me until the end. I’m SO GLAD I found Ranchod Law Group and chose Melissa as my attorney. She advised me to apply for J1 Persecution Waiver and it was APPROVED. She put so much hard work, time and confidence into this case.THANK YOU, MELISSA.

Jonathan P.

If you want a knowledgeable attorney who truly cares and delivers results, Melissa is the one. She guided me through my J-1 waiver with clarity and professionalism.
