Six simple steps. No surprises, no upsells, no calling a 1-800 number to reach your case manager.
You describe your situation, we ask the questions that actually matter, and we tell you honestly whether you need us, need a lawyer, or can handle it yourself.
If we're a fit, you get a one-page engagement letter that spells out scope, flat fee, USCIS filing fees, and expected timeline. Sign it digitally — no notary required.
We send a personalized checklist through our encrypted client portal. Upload from your phone; we'll flag missing or expired items within one business day.
Your case manager prepares the forms and cover letter. A second team member reviews every page for consistency and RFE triggers before you ever see it.
We walk you through the packet on a video call (or in person at our Monroe Street office). Once you're happy, you sign and we coordinate mailing.
We monitor your USCIS receipt, respond to RFEs (one round included), and ping you 6 months before any renewal deadline — even years after your case closes.
12–18 months typical end-to-end. Our prep adds 2–3 weeks.
8–14 months from filing to oath ceremony in most TSC jurisdictions.
2–4 months standard, or 15 days with premium processing.
8–16 months depending on category and field office workload.
4–10 months; we file 6 months ahead of expiration when possible.
3–6 months in-country. Consular F-1 is typically faster.
Timelines reflect recent USCIS averages and our own caseload data. They are estimates, not guarantees.
