Four steps from intake to approval.

Your case runs through a secure client portal, with your attorney available by scheduled call whenever you want to talk. No office visits, no phone tag, no hourly billing.

01

Start your case with a brief intake

Fill out our short lead qualification form. You will share your name, contact information, the visa or service you need, and a brief description of your situation. It takes about five minutes. There is no payment, no commitment, and no attorney-client relationship is created. This step simply tells us whether we are the right fit for your case. As soon as you submit your intake, you can book a free strategy call with an attorney.

A licensed attorney reviews within 72 hours

Once you submit your qualification form, a licensed immigration attorney reviews your situation. Within 72 hours, you will receive an email confirming your eligibility, outlining your case strategy, and presenting your flat attorney fee along with an itemized list of the government fees that apply. If a different visa is a better fit, or if we are not the right firm for your situation, we will tell you that too.

Your attorney files. You stay informed, every week.

Once all documents are received and reviewed, your attorney prepares and files your case with USCIS or the U.S. consulate. From that point forward, every significant development, every government notice, every processing update, every milestone, is pushed to your portal and summarized in plain English. You will never have to wonder where your case stands.
