Knew exactly how to handle a tricky RFE

USCIS sent a 14-page RFE on my O-1. The response was filed in two weeks and approved without further questions.

EB-5 from start to conditional removal

Two regional center investments, one I-526, one I-829. Smooth.

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.

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.
