Plain-English answers to the questions we hear most.

If your question isn't here, email accounts@onestepvisas.com — we'll add it.

Are you a law firm? Can you give legal advice?

No. Monroe Pathway Visas is an immigration consulting and document-preparation practice. We help you complete USCIS forms and assemble evidence, but we are not attorneys and we do not give legal advice. When a case needs a lawyer — removal proceedings, asylum, anything criminal-adjacent — we refer to one of three Houston-area firms we trust.

How is your pricing different from a law firm?

We charge a flat fee, quoted in writing, before you commit. There are no hourly bills, no "discovery" surcharges, and no surprise add-ons. USCIS filing fees are separate and paid directly to USCIS.

Do I have to come to your office in person?

No. We handle the entire intake, document upload, review, and signature process remotely through an encrypted client portal. You're welcome to visit our Monroe Street office if you prefer — many clients do for the final signing.

What if USCIS issues a Request for Evidence (RFE)?

One RFE response is included in every engagement. If a second RFE is issued on the same case, we'll quote a small flat fee to handle it — usually $150–$300 depending on complexity.

Do you serve clients outside Texas?

Yes. About 35% of our clients live outside Texas. USCIS forms are federal, so location of the consultant doesn't matter — what matters is accurate preparation. We've served clients in all 50 states.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. For engagements over $700, we split the fee 50% at signing and 50% at packet delivery. Larger employment cases can be split into three installments.

What languages do you work in?

English and Spanish, fluently. For other languages we coordinate certified interpreters at cost.

How quickly can you start on my case?

Discovery calls are usually available within 2–3 business days. Once you sign the engagement letter, we typically begin drafting within one week and deliver a complete packet within 2–4 weeks depending on case type.

Can you guarantee approval?

No reputable consultant or attorney can guarantee a USCIS outcome. What we can promise is a complete, well-organized packet that minimizes avoidable RFE triggers and gives your case the best chance on its merits.

How do I get started?

Call 713-479-6370, email accounts@onestepvisas.com, or use the contact form. We respond to all inquiries within one business day.
