TRANSPARENT  OFFICE
Since 1997 we’ve been sharing our case processing data with clients so that they have the best possible information about how long they’ll wait for their visa. This feature of our custom-designed (just for K-1 visas!) program is completely unique among immigration law firms, and is the best, most reliable data available anywhere. The data is input by us and checked by us and represents a 100% data sample of our cases. Our clients appreciate this feature enormously and check the data constantly (we have to have a special “fail over” router and backup internet connection in our office because if the service ever goes down we are deluged by panic-stricken notifications from our clients). Two snippets from actual data appear below.

Actual Data - Thursday, December 3, 2009

We also offer an easy-to-use online questionnaire so that our clients and their fiancees can send us their bio data on the first day of hire. There’s also a Checklist which shows exactly what documents we have received from the client and from the fiancee. Clients can also upload their documents to us through the web, and then also see which documents we have and which ones we’re still waiting for. All these functions have been refined and de-bugged over 13 years and 8000 cases to provide our clients the best and fastest service!
