Our Services

Our primary service is having a one-on-one legal consultation to analyze if the client is eligible for an immigration benefit.  If so, we will fill out the necessary paperwork to begin the often very lengthy process until the case is adjudicated.  If the client is called for an immigration interview to finalize the benefit they have applied for, our representatives will represent them at the local office. 

Our Credentials

In 2001, our program became a Board of Immigration Appeals Accredited Agency.  This accreditation, along with the accreditation of our immigration specialists, authorizes our BIA accredited representatives to practice immigration law before USCIS.  Our staff goes through rigorous and continuous training on immigration law, which aids in providing quality, reliable and current legal advice.
