I fill out your forms. I don't sell you an outcome.
As a registered Legal Document Assistant I prepare and fill out the forms with the information you give me, and check that they go out complete. Nothing more, and nothing less.
What I can and cannot do
Immigration is where people get taken advantage of most. So this comes first.
I can
- Fill out your forms with the information you give me
- Check that no pages, signatures or exhibits are missing
- Explain in plain language what each box is asking
- Tell you which supporting documents the form usually requires
- Organize your packet so it arrives complete
- Notarize, separately, the signatures that require it
Your application goes out complete and without the errors that delay it. That is what I can promise.
I cannot
- Tell you which benefit or petition to apply for
- Give an opinion on your case or your chances
- Represent you before USCIS, a court or any agency
- Attend an interview as your representative
- Promise an approval or a processing time
- Call myself a "notario" or an immigration specialist
If you need advice or representation, that's an attorney or a representative accredited by the Department of Justice. I'll tell you how to verify either one.
Three questions worth asking, always
Are you an attorney or an accredited representative?
Only a licensed attorney or a representative accredited by the Department of Justice can advise or represent you. Anyone else, myself included, can only prepare documents from what you dictate.
Are you registered, and can you show me?
A Legal Document Assistant in California has a registration number, a county and a bond. Ask for them. I publish mine on every page of this site.
Did they promise you a result?
Nobody can guarantee an approval, a work permit or a timeline. Anyone who promises one is lying to you, whatever they charge.
Step by step
You tell me which form was requested
Number and edition. If you don't know, send a photo of the letter or email asking for it.
I send you the list of data and documents
In writing, before we start, so you gather everything in one go.
I fill out the form with your information
You dictate, I fill. I check for blanks and contradictions between pages.
We review it together before it goes out
You read it, confirm it and sign it. Anything that doesn't look right gets fixed first.
What gets paid, and to whom
My preparation fee is quoted per form and I tell you before we start. Government filing fees are paid directly to the agency: that money never passes through my hands.
