Expert attorney preparation of your USCIS petition and consular forms

I personally prepare and review your petition and meticulously check it for accuracy.  I try to make sure that EVERYTHING is done right the first time, so that you avoid unnecessary delays and USCIS denials.  I also help you gather all required supporting documents, complete all USCIS forms, and submit everything in the most expeditious manner possible.

Preparation of the I-601A provisional waiver

I personally prepare and review your I-601A provisional waiver application.  I draft a personalized “extreme hardship” statement citing legal case law tailored to your situation to maximize the probability of approval of your waiver application.  I go through several revisions to make it as powerful and persuasive as possible.    I help you gather all supporting documents and can refer you to clinical psychologists who have in-depth experience conducting psychological examinations to demonstrate extreme hardship (separate fee applies for the psychological assessment).

Constant monitoring and advocacy on your behalf

My work does not end with the submission of your petition.  I keep tabs on your case as it is being processed, keeping you up to date on its status as well as notifying you of any relevant changes in immigration laws and procedures.  The vast majority of my clients encounter no undue delays or problems with their cases.

Preparation for the interview

I personally prepare you for the consular interview.  I review all the documents you should take to the interview and go over the types of questions that are likely to be asked.  Many have found this prep session invaluable in easing their fears and feeling confident going into their appointment.

Continued immigration support

Upon request, I can monitor your immigration status even after your case is resolved to ensure that you never fall out of legal immigration status.  I try to inform you when additional filings or actions must be taken and handle everything in the same professional and expeditious manner as before.
