100% Approval Rate
While I do not garauntee that your petition will be
approved, I do maintain a 100% approval rate on my K-1 fiance visas,
K-3 marriage visas, and I-130 petitions. Unlike many other
fiance
visa attorneys with high approval rates, I take all cases, no matter
how difficult and get results.
A sample of some of my cases:
Problem:
Failure to meet the in person meeting requirement
Strategy: Documented
the medical reasons for the failure to meet the requirement, showed
that the fiance was unable to obtain a tourist visa to visit the US.
Result: Approval
Problem: Excludable due to overstayed student visa
Strategy: Carefully documented the relationship and explained the
overstayed student visa.
Result: Approval
Problem: Failure to meet
the minimum income requirements for the affidavit of support and no-cosponser
available
Strategy: Documented the petitioner's new job, increased
income, and job security.
Result: Approval
Option of Affordable Flat Fees or Hourly Rate and Payment Plans
I offer all of my clients an option of my affordable flat rates or my
hourly fee of $250.00/Hour. Flat rates can offer hundreds,
even thousands of dollars in savings.
I offer a great
payment plan option that allows you to put 50% down and pay the remaining
balance over 4 months.
I accept visa and mastercard and personal
checks.
All work is done by a licensed immigration attorney - not a paralegal
I personally complete
your entire case from start to finish. You will never be passed
off to a paralegal or dumped on an associate who is unfamiliar with
your case.
I have been successfully obtaining visas since
2002 when I petitioned for my own husband to enter the US on a K-1
visa. With my husband, I have personally been through the
entire process from the K-1 visa to naturalization. I understand
my clients and their cases on both a professional level and a
personal level. My marriage to a foreign fiance gives me
a more intricate understanding of your case than many otherfiance visa attorneys who only understand the nuts and bolts
of the law, not the emotional aspects of immigration.
Clients from across the country and the world
My
virtual office lets me handle cases from clients throughout the United
States and in every country in the world. Unlike traditional
offices, you never have to wait weeks to get an appointment.
We will correspond through email and phone appointments. I return
most calls and email within 24 hours (excluding weekends) and many
within hours. We can also make phone appointments and conference
in your spouse/fiance for mock interviews and to answer any questions
you may have.
I have worked with clients from:
Africa
Asia
Eastern
and Western Europe
Central American
South America
Canada
Australia
I
am well versed in the visa procedures at many of the major applications
locations such as:
Russia
China
Philippines
