Pick the person, and we will show you the path, the forms, the flat fee and an honest time range.
Marriage and fiancé cases
Most of our clients are couples. We plan the evidence for the interview from day one, and we tell you plainly which route fits: a K-1, a green card from inside the U.S., or a case through the embassy.
- Marriage green cards
- K-1 fiancé(e) visas
- Removing conditions on a two-year card
- Preparing for the interview
Where are you in the process?
Parents, children and siblings
A U.S. citizen or green card holder can bring many relatives here, but not all on the same timeline. We file each petition carefully and explain where your family stands in line.
- Parent, child and sibling petitions
- Why some lines take years
- Relatives already in the U.S.
- Waivers for past problems
How we work
English and Spanish, at every step
Consultations, documents and phone calls in Spanish with a bilingual attorney or paralegal. Other languages with a qualified interpreter, booked at cost.
Firm policy
Flat fees, in writing
One attorney fee for each kind of case, written down before you sign. Government filing fees are listed separately, at the current amount.
Firm policy
A reply within one business day
Calls, texts and emails get an answer from a real person, even when the only news is that the agency has not moved yet.
Firm policy
Citizenship, DACA and green cards here
For green card holders ready to become citizens, Dreamers who need an on-time renewal, and relatives who may be able to apply without leaving the country.
DACA renewals
On-time renewals, plain answers about the news, and a check for other paths you may qualify for.
Adjustment of status
Applying for the green card from inside the United States, without leaving your family.
Why does my sister's case take longer than my mother's?
Because the law sorts relatives into two kinds of line. We explain which one your family is in before you pay us anything.
No yearly cap
Immediate relatives
Spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents of adult U.S. citizens. The wait is processing time.
Yearly cap
Preference categories
Adult sons and daughters, siblings, and relatives of green card holders. The State Department's Visa Bulletin sets the line.

Read all example outcomesExample outcome
Marriage green card
RFE, then approved
Situation: A couple married 14 months, with separate bank accounts and a short courtship.
What happened: USCIS sent a Request for Evidence about shared finances. We answered with a joint lease, insurance records and a sworn letter explaining their budget. Approved after a second interview.
Example outcome
Citizenship
Denied, then refiled
Situation: A client who filed on his own before calling us.
What happened: His first application was denied: a trip of nearly eight months had broken his continuous residence. We waited until he was eligible again and refiled with the travel explained. Approved at the second interview.
Example outcome
Provisional waiver
Denied, refiled, still pending
Situation: A family whose case depended on an I-601A waiver.
What happened: The first waiver was denied because the hardship evidence did not meet the standard. We refiled with medical records and a professional evaluation. The second filing is still pending.
In their words
“Me explicaron todo en español y nunca me prometieron fechas falsas. Mi mamá todavía espera, pero sé exactamente dónde está su caso.”
They explained everything in Spanish and never promised me false dates. My mom is still waiting, but I know exactly where her case stands.
