Question: Are you a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA)

Answer: Yes

Question: Many other law firms have much higher fees. How can you afford to do a professional job for such a low fee?

Answer: I work personally with each of my clients. Each client has a direct phone number and email address to contact me. I keep my overhead low and use the latest in technology to make the process very efficient. My 35 years of legal experience has taught me how to do a professional job in a fast and efficient manner. This benefits both myself and my clients and allows me to offer these services at a reasonable price.

Question: Where is your law office located?

Answer: My law offices are located in St. Helena, California, USA, which is just North of San Francisco, California.

Question: Does it matter if you are in California and I am in some other state or country?

Answer: No, I service clients from many states and countries by using the latest in electronic tools such as special immigration software, email, fax and telephone. This makes the process fast and efficient for me and my clients

Question: Who would be handling my case?

Answer: I will be personally handling your case. I do not use paralegals. I will be available for personal phone or email consultation with you about your case.

Question: How long have you been in practice?

Answer: I have been admitted to practice law in California and before the Federal Courts of the United States since 1972. If you would like to verify my California State Bar status please go to the California State Bar site for my listing.

Question: How much time does it take to get my visa?

Answer: As a general estimate for a K-1 (fiancé) visa it takes approximately 4-5 months and for a K-3 (marriage) visa or CR-1 (immigrant) visa it takes approximately 5-6 months. Time varies from case to case, but this is a reasonable estimate based on what I see happening in my cases currently. It almost always takes less time than stated on the USCIS web site. We will be happy to discuss with you how this works in a conference call at your convenience.

Question: How much are the total fees, when are they paid and what do you do for that fee?

Answer: The fees paid to the USCIS for a K-1 visa are $455.00 and for a K-3 or CR-1 visa they are $355.00 These fees are paid to the US government at the time the first Petition is filed. Our fees are in addition to this and are as shown below.
