Client reviews
Patient and bilingual — explained everything in Spanish
Mi mamá pudo entender todo el proceso. We never felt rushed. Highly recommend.
EB-5 from start to conditional removal
Two regional center investments, one I-526, one I-829. Smooth.
Transparent, calm, and incredibly thorough
Walked me through every step of my I-130. Replied to every email within hours. Worth every dollar.
Honest about a weak case
Other lawyers wanted to take my money. They told me to wait six months and refile — and that's exactly what worked.
Got my H-1B approved on the first try
My company's in-house lawyer dropped the ball, this team picked it up two weeks before deadline and we still got an approval. Lifesavers.
Filed my OPT before graduation
The university missed it. They jumped in and saved my status.
Frequently asked
A 30-minute video or phone call. We review your situation, identify the best path, outline timelines and costs, and answer your questions. You'll receive a written summary afterwards.
Most cases are flat-fee. Pricing depends on category and complexity, and is shared in writing before you retain.
Only the initial consultation is paid through Immigrantio (via Stripe checkout). Once you retain, the lawyer bills you directly — retainer, milestone or hourly fees go straight to the firm's own trust account. Immigrantio is not in the chain of custody for case payments.
Conversations on Immigrantio are end-to-end encrypted. For sensitive case documents and original evidence, you'll exchange those directly with the lawyer by their preferred secure method — Immigrantio doesn't store your case files.
