When to Call

If any of these applies — reach out today.

You received a Notice to Appear

This is the document that begins removal proceedings. The clock starts now.

Your visa petition was denied or RFE issued

Request For Evidence responses are deadline-driven. Missing the window costs the case.

Bond hearings can happen fast. Counsel present changes the outcome.

You are a victim of domestic violence or a qualifying crime

Prior arrests, tax filings, or travel history can surface at the interview. We audit before you file.

You plan to invest in or open a U.S. business

E-2 and EB-5 require documentation most entrepreneurs don't have — we build it with you.

They treated me like family. Recovered more than I thought possible and they did it in Spanish when I couldn't do it in English.

We were facing deportation and lost. Maria walked us through every filing. Today we are legal permanent residents.

The construction company denied everything. Gallardo's team had the medical records, site photos, and depositions lined up. We settled for more than double the original offer.

Common Questions

Answers that cite the statute.

Will filing for status put me on ICE's radar?

Filings with USCIS are civil immigration proceedings. In most affirmative cases (adjustment, VAWA, naturalization) the benefit itself — if granted — protects you. Every case is assessed individually.

How long does a green card take?

It depends entirely on category. Immediate-relative (spouse of U.S. citizen) filings currently average 10–14 months. Employment-based categories vary from under a year to a decade depending on country of birth and priority date.

I was denied before. Can I re-file?

Often yes. Denials can be appealed, re-opened, or re-filed with stronger evidence. We review the prior denial letter at no cost.
