NOTICE: October 2nd Fee Increase Stopped by the Federal Court:
We don't know when the trial will be so we encourage you to file as soon as you can. We also do not know how long it will be to finalize Chad Wolf's new appointment as permanent DHS Secretary. He has moved through the Senate panel along party lines and he will go to full Senate for a vote. Once that happens he can reinstitute the fee increases. So please do not delay.
If you are a green card holder for 5 years or more, please contact us so you can apply for your citizenship.
If you want to adjust your status and have someone who can sponsor you or you want to file for family reach out to us to work on it.
