Your Dreams, Our Legal Expertise

Naturalization timelines vary based on USCIS workload, field office scheduling, the completeness of the N-400 filing, your current location, and whether additional review is required. Many cases proceed through receipt, biometrics, an interview, and then an oath ceremony. The most reliable way to estimate timing is to check the current processing time ranges for Form N-400 for the field office handling your case and to ensure the application is prepared accurately from the start.

Yes. A common pathway is the K-1 fiancé(e) visa for a U.S. citizen’s fiancé(e). The U.S. citizen files a petition, and if approved, the fiancé(e) attends a consular interview abroad. After admission to the United States on a K-1, the couple must marry within 90 days, and the spouse may then apply for adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident.

Each case requires careful screening for eligibility issues, such as prior visa denials, criminal history, certain immigration violations, or prior marriages. Preparation also includes compiling relationship evidence and ensuring forms and supporting documents are consistent and accurate.

Document needs differ by category, but many adjustments of status filings include the following:

    • Proof of lawful entry, such as an I-94 record
  • Identity documents, which includes passport biographic page
  • Civil documents, including a birth certificate with certified translation (if not in English), and proof of the qualifying basis (for example, a marriage certificate for a family-based case)
  • Evidence of a bona fide marriage, which includes shared lease, bank statements, insurance, photos, and affidavits

Most applicants also submit a medical exam on the required USCIS form, and many include work authorization and travel applications. Because missing or inconsistent documents can trigger delays or RFEs, it is important to match the document set to your exact eligibility category.

Yes. Employment-based matters can include non-immigrant work visas, depending on the role and qualifications, as well as employer compliance considerations, and permanent residence, such as “green card” strategies when eligible. These cases often involve coordinating with an employer on timelines, job descriptions, worksite location, and documentation. Some pathways require strict procedural steps and recruitment standards.

A strong case plan starts with identifying the appropriate classification, confirming eligibility, and preparing supporting evidence that aligns with USCIS and Department of Labor requirements.

You must obtain and review the denial reason because many denials are based on missing documentation, insufficient evidence, credibility concerns at the interview, or statutory ineligibility.

The next step depends on the visa type and denial ground, as sometimes the best option is to reapply with a stronger record, and other times, a waiver may be required. However, in some situations, changing your strategy is more appropriate.

Prior denials should be disclosed truthfully, and any inconsistencies must be addressed directly. A legal review can help identify whether the denial points to a fixable evidence gap or a legal barrier that must be resolved before trying again.

Yes. There is a $250 consultation fee to review your case. This paid consultation is usually a deeper review of facts and documents, with more detailed guidance on eligibility, timing, risks, and strategy. It may include reviewing prior filings, spotting issues that could trigger denials, and outlining a step-by-step plan for your desired circumstances. Paid consultations are often most useful for cases involving prior denials, inadmissibility concerns, removal history, criminal issues, or deeper concerns about family or employment situations.

Our family had the pleasure of working with Jerry Gerritsen on our R-1 visa case, and we are very grateful for his excellent guidance throughout the entire process. From our first consultation, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism and deep knowledge of immigration-related topics. However, what truly stood out to us was his caring and supportive attitude. It was clear that he was genuinely interested in helping us in every possible way, and this kind of attention remained consistent for months as we progressed in our R-1 case.

Also he charge us a flat rate and explained we only had to pay official government fees along the way!! Our case was complicated and he handled it!
We have referred family members to him. Originally we hired an atty in New Orleans who took our money and never followed through.
So call Jerry he’s the best!!
