Frequently Asked Questions

Working With Us

Do I need to come to your office?

No. We handle marriage-based cases remotely through phone, Zoom, email, and secure document upload. You never need to travel or take time off work to meet with us.

Do you work with clients nationwide?

Yes. We represent clients in all 50 states and abroad. Immigration law is federal, which allows us to serve you regardless of where you live.

Will I work directly with an attorney, or will my case be handled by a paralegal or call center?

You will work directly with an attorney from start to finish. Your case is never handed off to a paralegal, call center, or case worker. Every form, strategy decision, and filing is personally handled and reviewed by your attorney so nothing is overlooked.

Are your fees really flat fees?

Yes. We offer a true flat fee for all marriage-based cases. There is no hourly billing, no hidden charges, and no surprise invoices.

How do we start?

Fill out the contact form or call (888) 248-VISA for a free case review with a licensed immigration attorney. We’ll confirm eligibility, answer questions, and walk you through next steps.

Eligibility and Requirements

Do I need to be a U.S. citizen to sponsor my spouse?

No. Both U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (green card holders) may file a marriage-based petition. Processing times and eligibility requirements vary depending on your status.

What documents do we need to prepare?

Most couples will need:

  • Marriage certificate

  • Passports or government IDs

  • Evidence of a real relationship (photos, joint bills, leases, travel records, etc.)

  • Financial documents for the Affidavit of Support (tax returns, W-2s, pay stubs)

We give you a detailed checklist so nothing is missed. Most marriage-based cases are filed within 7-10 days of receiving your documents.

Do you help with fiancé(e) visas (K-1)?

Yes. We prepare and file the I-129F fiancé visa petition, guide you through the interview process abroad, and handle Adjustment of Status after your fiancé arrives in the U.S. All services are handled remotely via phone, Zoom and email, so you never need to visit our office.

Do you guarantee approval?

No attorney can guarantee the outcome of a case. Be cautious of anyone who does. What we guarantee is careful preparation, honest guidance, and dedicated legal representation from start to finish.

Process and Timeline

How long does the marriage-based green card process take?

Timelines vary by case type and location, but most couples can expect:

  • Adjustment of Status (spouse already in the U.S.): 12–20 months

  • Spousal Visa (spouse abroad): 12–18 months

  • Fiancé(e) Visa: 6–10 months for the K-1

During your consultation, we’ll give you an estimate based on your specific situation.

How fast do you prepare and file the case?

Once we receive your completed questionnaire and supporting documents, we prepare and file your case within 7–10 days. Our streamlined process is designed for speed, clarity, and accuracy, so you don’t spend months waiting just to get your case submitted.

Do we have to attend an interview?

Most marriage-based green card cases require a USCIS interview. We prepare you thoroughly so you know exactly what to expect.

Can we work or travel while the case is pending?

If you are applying for Adjustment of Status, you may qualify for a work permit (Employment Authorization Document) and travel document (Advance Parole). These typically arrive 3–6 months after filing.

Common Concerns

What if my spouse overstayed a visa?

Overstays are common and often not disqualifying. Many spouses can still apply without leaving the United States. We will advise you based on your specific history.

What if we don’t have joint financial documents yet?

That’s normal for newly married couples. We help you identify strong alternative evidence to show a real relationship.

Is it a problem if my spouse entered without inspection (EWI)?

This requires special analysis. Some spouses may qualify for a waiver; others may not be eligible for Adjustment of Status. We will review your entry history and explain the safest path forward.

Legal Representation

What does your flat fee include?

Our representation typically includes:

  • Eligibility review

  • Detailed evidence checklist

  • Preparation of all required forms

  • USCIS correspondence

  • Interview preparation

  • Response to Request For Evidence (RFE) if needed

We keep the process simple and transparent from start to finish.

How do I communicate with my attorney?

You get direct access by phone, Zoom, email, and secure messaging. We prioritize fast response times and clear communication.
