Frequently Asked Questions

We have compiled answers to the most common questions we receive from clients. If you don’t see your question here, please contact us — we’re happy to help!

What is an immigration document preparer?

An immigration document preparer is a non-attorney who assists individuals in completing immigration forms and organizing supporting documentation for submission to USCIS. We are trained to accurately complete forms based on information you provide, but we cannot give legal advice, evaluate your eligibility, or represent you before USCIS or immigration courts.

What is the difference between a document preparer and an immigration attorney?

A licensed immigration attorney can provide legal advice, evaluate your specific situation, determine your eligibility for immigration benefits, represent you at USCIS interviews, and represent you in immigration court. A document preparer can only assist with filling out forms and organizing documents based on the information you provide. If your case is complex or if you have immigration violations, past deportation orders, criminal history, or other complicating factors, we strongly recommend consulting a licensed immigration attorney.

How much do your services cost?

Our service fees vary depending on which forms you need and the complexity of your case. We provide transparent, upfront pricing with a written service agreement before any work begins. Our fees are separate from USCIS government filing fees, which are paid directly to USCIS. Please contact us for a specific quote for your situation.

Do I need to pay USCIS filing fees separately?

Yes. USCIS filing fees are required by the U.S. government and are completely separate from our service fees. You pay USCIS fees directly to USCIS at the time of filing. We will inform you of the exact USCIS fee for each form as part of our service agreement. USCIS fees are subject to change — we will provide the most current fee schedule at the time of your service.

Which immigration forms do you help with?

We assist with a wide range of USCIS forms including: I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative), I-129F (Petition for Alien Fiancé(e)), I-485 (Application for Permanent Residence / Green Card), I-765 (Employment Authorization Document / Work Permit), I-131 (Advance Parole / Travel Document), I-751 (Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence), I-864 (Affidavit of Support), I-90 (Green Card Renewal), and N-400 (Application for Naturalization). Visit our Services page for full details on each form.

Do you offer services in languages other than English?

Yes! We are proud to offer bilingual and trilingual support in English, Arabic, and Assyrian. We understand that immigration paperwork can be confusing enough without a language barrier, and we are committed to making sure every client fully understands the process in their preferred language.

Can you tell me if I qualify for a green card or citizenship?

No. Determining eligibility for any immigration benefit is considered legal advice, which we are not authorized to provide. We can explain generally what a particular form is used for and what types of situations it typically applies to, but we cannot evaluate your specific circumstances and tell you whether you qualify. For a legal eligibility determination, please consult a licensed immigration attorney.

Can you represent me at a USCIS interview?

No. Only licensed immigration attorneys or accredited representatives can represent you before USCIS or in immigration court. We can help you understand what types of questions are typically asked at various USCIS interviews, and help you organize your documents for the interview, but we cannot appear with you or speak on your behalf.

What if USCIS sends me a Request for Evidence (RFE)?

If you receive a Request for Evidence from USCIS after we have prepared your documents, we recommend consulting a licensed immigration attorney to help you respond, as RFEs often involve legal strategy. We may be able to assist with compiling and organizing documents for your response, but we cannot provide advice on how to strategically address USCIS’s concerns.
