The Problem

Immigration Shouldn't Feel
Like a Guessing Game

Most businesses and families dealing with U.S. immigration face the same frustrating problems — and most law firms make it worse, not better.

⏳

Endless Delays & No Updates

You file paperwork and then... silence. Weeks go by with no clarity on where your case stands.

💸

Hourly Billing That Adds Up Fast

Every phone call, every email, every question — it's all on the clock. Your invoice surprises you every month.

🤷

Confusing Legal Jargon

Your attorney talks in acronyms and legalese. You nod along but leave the call more confused than before.

😰

High Stakes, Low Confidence

Your career, family, or business expansion depends on this — and you're not sure your attorney has it under control.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "flat-fee pricing" mean exactly? +

It means you pay a single, agreed-upon fee for your entire case — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no meter running every time you call or email. You'll know exactly what your case costs before we start work. This gives you complete budget predictability, whether your case takes three months or twelve.

How long does a typical work visa or green card case take? +

Timelines vary by visa type and USCIS processing times. H-1B visas typically take 3-6 months, while employment-based green cards can take 12-24+ months depending on the category and country of birth. During your consultation, we'll give you a realistic timeline for your specific situation — no vague promises.

I'm an employer — how does the sponsorship process work? +

We handle everything. From labor condition applications to filing the petition, responding to RFEs, and preparing for interviews if needed. Your HR team provides basic employee information, and we do the heavy lifting. We also ensure your company stays compliant with all immigration regulations.

What if my case gets a Request for Evidence (RFE)? +

RFEs are common and not a reason to panic. Our attorneys have extensive experience responding to RFEs with strong, well-documented responses. We build cases to minimize RFE risk from the start, and our flat fee covers RFE responses — you won't get an extra bill for this.

Do you handle family-based immigration too? +

Absolutely. We handle marriage-based visas, family-based green cards, naturalization, citizenship applications, and more. Whether you're sponsoring a spouse, parent, or sibling, our team guides you through every step with the same flat-fee transparency and responsive service.
