Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to common questions. For case-specific guidance, request a consultation.
How do consultations work?
A consultation is a focused conversation about your goals, your deadlines, and what has happened so far. We typically:
- Review key facts and any notices you received.
- Identify practical options and risks in plain language.
- Outline a document checklist and next steps.
If you decide to move forward, we discuss the scope of representation and what work will be handled by the firm.
What types of immigration matters do you handle?
Our practice focuses on U.S. immigration matters, including:
- Family-based cases
- Employment-based filings (when applicable)
- USCIS notices and responses (including RFEs)
- Removal/court-related matters (when applicable)
If you are unsure whether your issue fits, contact us with a short summary and any deadlines so we can advise on the best next step.
I have a deadline or court date. What should I do first?
Time matters. Start by collecting the basics and contacting the firm as soon as possible.
Please include:
- The deadline date (or hearing date)
- A photo/scan of the notice (front and back)
- Any receipt numbers
- A one-paragraph timeline of what happened so far
Avoid waiting “until you have everything” because deadlines can be unforgiving.
Do you offer phone or video consultations?
Yes. Many consultations can be handled by phone or video, depending on the situation. If an in-person meeting is better (for example, for reviewing a large set of documents), we can coordinate that as well.
If you have a deadline, we prioritize the fastest workable option.
What documents should I gather before contacting you?
A good starting set is:
- Any USCIS/EOIR notices (especially anything with a deadline)
- Receipt numbers and copies of prior filings (if available)
- Passport biographic page, visas, and I-94 (if applicable)
- Marriage certificates, birth certificates, and proof of relationship (if relevant)
- A short written timeline (dates and locations)
If you do not have everything, still reach out. We can help you prioritize what matters most.
Have a deadline or an urgent notice?
Share the basics and we’ll tell you what’s feasible, what to gather, and what steps come next.
