Dear Prospective Client,

This office concentrates its practice only in the field of immigration law. We have client located in all fifty states and aboard. We have a 100% approval rate for I-129F alien fiancee petitions.

In our years of processing approximately 2500 fiancee cases throughout the world, we have worked out a system to provide the client precisely the level of service that is needed to be successful, not only in this visa application, but also we strive to enhance the likelihood of success with the alien fiancee after marriage.

Following are the basic information and document requirements that we need to assist you in painlessly (if such a thing is possible when dealing with the government) bring your alien fiancee to the United States for the purposes of marriage.

These petitions are filed regionally in the United States. Approvals of this type of petition are fairly rapid when compared to other types of immigration petitions. Case processing times generally running between ninety and two hundred days from filing in the United States to your fiancee's interviewing at the consulate abroad. The actual processing time will depend primarily on where you live in the United States and which consulate abroad has your jurisdiction over your fiancee's residence. Additional delays can be caused by constantly changing US government policies here and aboard. Some consulate such as Manila and Guangzhou may take longer depending on their backlog or the completion of security checks on the applicants.

WORK PERFORMED - generally, I offer attorney services on a flat fee basis for this type of case. We prepare the documents, determine what supporting documents will be used or needed and ensure the proper filing of the petition. I completed all packets personally. Turn­-around time at this office is usually two to four business days upon receipt of all required documentation. We track the petition and query USCIS if the processing goes beyond estimated processing time. We will contact the National Visa Center or consulate on your behalf after USCIS approval if necessary to continue tracking the case to the setting of the interview date. We will also provide you with the latest interview policies and procedures for your fiancee upon approval of the petition.

This level of service is beyond the mere preparation of paperwork that most attorneys perform for a slightly lower fee scale.
