Our approach: strategic, compliant, and responsive

We start with a focused eligibility review and timeline. Then we build your application with strong evidence, plain‑language explanations, and interview preparation. If agency questions arise, we address them promptly and keep you informed at every step.

  • Tailored eligibility mapping and risk checks before filing
  • Organized evidence packets: employment, relationship, travel, and status history
  • Interview coaching and document rehearsal to reduce surprises
  • Cross‑disciplinary coordination (employment, criminal, tax implications) when relevant

Process & timeline

Employment‑based pathway (example)

  1. Intake & eligibility: role, wage, degree/experience, employer readiness
  2. Strategy: choose category (e.g., H‑1B, TN, L‑1, O‑1, PERM‑based EB‑2/EB‑3)
  3. Evidence & forms: job letters, credentials, experience proofs, company docs
  4. Filing & notices: petition submission and responses if agency requests evidence
  5. Decision & next steps: approval, stamping/activation, or appeal options

Family & naturalization highlights

  • Family petitions: relationship proof, financial sponsorship, medical exams
  • Adjustment vs. consular processing: choose the forum and sequence carefully
  • Naturalization: continuous residence, physical presence, civics/English test prep
  • Interviews: rehearsal, document packet, and travel/status guidance

Timelines depend on category, caseload, and evidence readiness. We provide realistic ranges during intake and update you as applications move.

Fees & billing

Many immigration filings are quoted at predictable flat fees. Complex matters (appeals, removal defense, RFEs/NOIDs, or extensive evidence development) may use hourly or hybrid structures. You’ll receive a written scope outlining services, timelines, and what’s included.

  • Flat‑fee packages for common petitions (category‑dependent)
  • Separate government filing fees and third‑party costs (translations, medicals, shipping)
  • Hourly/hybrid for litigation‑adjacent or expedited matters

What impacts cost?

  • Petition type and number of beneficiaries or dependents
  • Evidence complexity (credentials, experience, relationship documentation)
  • RFEs/NOIDs or appeals requiring additional briefing
  • Consular processing steps, travel constraints, or interpreter needs

Documents checklist

Bring what you have—we’ll prioritize the rest. Starting with essentials speeds strategy and reduces delays if the agency requests more evidence.

  • Passports/IDs, prior visas, and I‑94 travel history
  • Employment letters, pay stubs, W‑2s/tax returns, and education credentials
  • Relationship evidence for family cases (marriage certificate, joint accounts, photos, affidavits)
  • Prior filings/decisions (I‑130, I‑140, I‑485, etc.) and any RFE/NOID notices
  • Court or police records with certified dispositions, if applicable

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about timelines, evidence, and next steps.

How long will my case take?
Processing times vary by category and office (service center or consulate). During intake we provide current ranges and update you if the agency posts changes or requests additional evidence.
Can you help if my application was denied?
Often yes. Options can include motions to reopen/reconsider, appeals, refiling with stronger evidence, or pursuing an alternative category. We’ll assess deadlines and the most realistic path forward.
Do you prepare for interviews?
Yes. We review likely questions, organize a clean document packet, and coach you on answering clearly. For marriage cases, we ensure your evidence aligns with your history and day‑to‑day life together.
Can I work while my case is pending?
It depends on your current status and the type of filing. Some applications allow employment authorization while pending; others require maintaining a specific nonimmigrant status. We’ll clarify what applies to you before you make changes.
Do I need a sponsor for a green card?
Employment‑based cases usually involve an employer sponsor (with limited self‑petition categories), while family‑based cases require a qualifying relative and financial sponsorship. We’ll confirm eligibility and documentation requirements at intake.
Can I travel internationally while my application is pending?
Travel can affect pending applications depending on category and travel documents. We advise case‑specific steps (e.g., advance parole where applicable) to avoid abandonment or delays.
