Naturalization & Citizenship
Naturalization
Applying for naturalization and becoming a U.S. citizen can give you peace of mind to travel without worry, participate and voice your vote in an American election, and petition your loved ones to join you in the U.S. I am ready to walk with you on these last steps of your immigration journey.
USCIS Fees: $725
Attorney Fee: $1,000
Citizenship
Children born abroad can apply for citizenship because their parents are U.S. born citizens or naturalized later on in life. Proving citizenship is a complicated process because the law has repeatedly changed in the past century. Don’t let this opportunity to prove you are an American citizen slip by you, and partner with me to build your case.
USCIS Fee: $1170
Attorney Fee: $1,000 - 1,500
Family Based Residency
Family Petition
Filing a family petition, USCIS Form I-130, is the first step towards permanent residency. Through the family petition, USCIS will ensure that the Petitioner has an existing relationship with the Beneficiary who wants to become a permanent resident. Let’s partner together and jump start the residency process for your loved one.
USCIS Fee: $535
Attorney Fee: $1,500
Adjustment of Status
The adjustment of status (AOS) process is the second step towards permanent residency if you last legally entered the U.S. The AOS application may be filed at the same time as the family petition or as a stand alone application once the petition is approved. I welcome the opportunity to partner with you and show USCIS that you are self sufficient to be a permanent resident.
USCIS Fees (Petition + Adjustment): $1,760
Attorney Fee: $4,000
USCIS Fees (Adjustment only): $1,225
Attorney Fee: $3,000
Consular Processing
Consular processing is the second step towards permanent residency if you either live outside the U.S. or live here, but your last entry was unlawful. Once you have completed the first step of an approved family petition and a visa is available based on your family preference category, the National Visa Center (NVC) will invite you to begin this process and later interview in your home country. I welcome the opportunity to partner with you and show Immigration that you are self sufficient to be a permanent resident.
NVC Fees: $445
Attorney Fee: $2,500
Removal of Conditions on Residence
Conditional residency is granted to those applicants whose residency status is based on a marriage less than 2 years. USCIS requires conditional residents to apply and remove conditions no more than 90 days before their 2 year resident card expires. I look forward to working with you and making your residency permanent.
USCIS Fees: $680
Attorney Fee: $1,250-$1,500
Waivers
Immigration waivers forgive certain immigration violations or crimes on your record that are preventing you from successfully completing your residency case. Some of the most common immigration violations for why you may need a waiver are: unlawful presence, criminal records, smuggling, or lying to Immigration to get a visa or entry into the U.S. I will partner with you to ensure that your family remains unified in the U.S.
USCIS Fees: $630 - 930
Attorney Fee: $1,500 - $2,500
Renew or Replace Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)
Is it time to renew your permanent resident card if it is expiring or already expired? Do you need to replace your card because it was lost, damaged, or stolen? If yes, let me help you obtain a new card and receive peace of mind.
USCIS Fees: $540
Attorney Fee: $300
245(i) Adjustment of Status
245(i) Adjustment of status allows some people who are generally disqualified from applying for residency to become residents if a family member or employer filed an initial petition for you or your parents before April 30, 2001. This type of adjustment allows those applicants who entered unlawfully, fell out of lawful status, or ever worked without authorization, to apply and complete the process for permanent residence in the U.S. by paying a $1,000 penalty. I will partner with you to bring closure to a petition that may have been filed on your behalf more than 20 years ago.
USCIS Fees (New Petition, Adjustment, Penalty): $2,760
Attorney Fee: $4,000 - $4,500
USCIS Fees (Adjustment only + Penalty): $2,225

DACA & TPS

TPS
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a temporary immigration status to the U.S., and granted to eligible nationals of designated countries such as El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. As TPS is temporary, recipients are required to renew their status and work permit card. I understand that it may be dangerous to return home and will partner with you to remain safely here in the U.S.

Attorney Fee: $250 for renewals

Crime Victim Visas
VAWA Status
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) provides relief to certain immigrants that are victims of domestic violence and they may "self-petition" for legal status and a work permit card without the knowledge or consent of their abuser. I sympathize with your situation and will partner with you to maintain anonymity and confidentiality throughout your immigration case.
USCIS Fees: $0
Attorney Fee: $2,000
VAWA Adjustment
VAWA status does offer a pathway towards permanent residency through the adjustment of status process. When you may apply for residency will depend if the abuser is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

I empathize with your situation and will partner with you to maintain anonymity and confidentiality throughout your immigration case.

USCIS offers to waive their application fees if you can prove that you meet certain income or hardship requirements.

Work, Travel, and Reentry Permits
Work Permit Card
A work permit card, officially known as an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) card, provides temporary employment authorization to noncitizens in the U.S. Those noncitizens eligible to apply are pending or approved asylees, admitted refugees, pending adjustment applicants, approved DACA or TPS recipients, certain parolees, or deferred action status such as VAWA or U Visa. I will partner with you to obtain an EAD card to financially provide for your family.

A travel document, also known as Advance Parole, is permission for certain immigrants, who do not have a valid immigrant visa, to re-enter the U.S. after traveling abroad.

I will work with you to ensure you can be outside the U.S. and focus on your life without worry.
