What should I expect during my consultation?

You can expect to speak with our expert consultation supervisors, who will share the personalized strategy that our attorneys have prepared for your case. You can anticipate being treated with compassion and respect as we communicate our action plan to help you move toward a secure future in the United States.

How do I know if my case will qualify?

Every case is different, and a personalized evaluation is required to determine your eligibility for various options based on your circumstances. During your consultation, we will learn your story and ask you important questions to explore every possible option.

Will my spouse be notified?

Your spouse will NOT be notified unless you choose to inform them yourself. We have strict confidentiality measures in place to protect our clients, and your information will not be disclosed to anyone other than you without your consent.

What if I have a criminal history?

Many of our clients have had success despite having a criminal history. It is crucial to be honest during your consultation and with your attorney to determine your eligibility and develop a strategy for your case.

Once I sign the contract, how long will my case take to be submitted?

Our goal is to file it as soon as possible, but it often depends on how long it takes you (as the client) to provide us with your documents. Once we receive, assess, and complete all the documents, our aim is to submit your case within 15 business days. This may take longer depending on the complexity of your case.

How long will it take to get a response from USCIS?

Response time varies depending on your case type. For example, marriage-based cases usually take about 1.5 years to finalize, while VAWA cases can take 2.5-3.5 years. Work and travel papers can be approved within 6-12 months.
If you have questions about your estimated processing time, you can review the USCIS website here<link to site>

What is VAWA Self-Petition and what are the benefits?

A VAWA Self-Petition is a special type of case that can help immigrants who are being mistreated by their U.S. citizen spouse or adult child get a work permit and green card.
VAWA Self-Petition allows you to apply for benefits on their own, without the help of their spouse or child, and they do not even have to find out about it unless you choose to tell them.
Visit this page to learn more about it.

Do I need to be a victim of physical violence to apply for VAWA?

No, physical violence is not a requirement. Other forms of abuse, such as emotional abuse, suffering, cruelty, manipulation, or control, can also make you eligible for VAWA.

Can I stay with my spouse after filing for VAWA? What happens if we reconcile?

For VAWA, there is no legal requirement for you to separate or divorce. You can get back together with your spouse if you believe that is the best decision for you, and it will not affect your application or your case in any way.

If I file for VAWA, will my spouse/child get in trouble?

No, your spouse or child will not get in trouble. Filing for VAWA does not create a police report, criminal history, or affect them in any way and they will be able to continue living their lives without any interference.

For VAWA, will I have to get the police involved?

No, you do not need to have a police report or press charges to be eligible for VAWA. Our team will work with you to document your situation and gather the evidence needed for your case to be successful.

Am I eligible for an employment-based visa if I have unlawful presence in the United States?
