Once we receive your information, our dedicated Intake Specialist will reach out to you. If your matter is within our scope, we schedule a consultation so Attorney Ingrid Perez can outline an initial strategy and explain timelines, fees, and next steps. When you decide to retain us, our legal team opens your file and begins working on your case immediately. 

Preparation time depends on the type of matter and how quickly you supply the requested evidence. The clock starts after you sign the retainer and provide the initial document set of civil documents. Our goal is always to work at the pace you set—if you deliver documents sooner, we complete the legal work sooner. 

During the next several weeks we: 

1. Draft the main petition or application. 
2. Prepare supporting forms and exhibits. 
3. Research statutes, regulations, and current agency trends relevant to your matter. 
4. Conduct a final legal and quality-assurance review with you before filing. 

After submission, government processing times vary by case type and workload. Premium or expedited processing—when available—can shorten the review to as little as 15–45 days. 

Document requirements differ by case. At onboarding, you’ll meet with your legal team to discuss your background and goals. We then supply a customized checklist that can include: 

• Proof of identity and civil status 
• Immigration history (visas, I-94s, prior filings) 
• Academic, professional, or financial records 
• Evidence supporting eligibility (awards, publications, job offers, etc.) 

We give clear instructions—including examples—so you know exactly what to provide. 

We do all of the drafting. Once you give us the information for each potential recommender, our legal team writes customized letters that address specific topics to support your petition. You review and approve each draft until it is finalized. We also have samples and guidance for those letter writers who prefer to do it themselves.  

Strategy begins at the initial consultation. After you retain us, we refine that plan based on the attorney’s analysis of your evidence, case nuances, and needs. The team: 

• Finalizes your tailored document list. 
• Identifies areas that need additional evidence or improvement. 
• Sets internal deadlines to keep the case moving. 

Even strong applicants benefit from this detailed planning—every subsequent step follows the strategy established here. 

Absolutely. Client collaboration is essential. We share drafts of key filings for your review and welcome comments on accuracy, tone, and emphasis. Our office has secured approvals across a wide range of immigration categories—often without Requests for Evidence (RFEs)—and we believe open communication contributes to that record. 

No law firm can ethically promise approval; final decisions rest solely with U.S. immigration agencies. We accept only matters we believe have a strong chance of success and we prepare each case to the highest professional standard, but no outcome can be guaranteed. 

If a denial occurs, options may include: 

• Motions to Reopen or Reconsider – asking the agency to review the decision. 
• Administrative Appeals – filing with the appropriate appellate office. 
• Refiling – submitting a new application that addresses prior deficiencies. 

Our attorneys will analyze the denial, advise on the best course, and represent you through any follow-up action you choose to pursue.
