How it works

How a case grows with us

Five stages, from the first call to the day the next door opens. Most of the time is waiting; we make sure you never wait alone.

  1. Step 1: The first call

    Tell us in a few words what's happening. We book a consultation with the lawyer who fits your case and your language.

  2. Step 2: The consultation

    An hour with a lawyer, in person or by video. Bring any papers you have. You leave knowing your options and what each would cost.

  3. Step 3: Agreement and gathering

    If you hire us, we sign a written agreement with the fee. Then we list the documents we need and help you get them.

  4. Step 4: Filing and waiting

    We file, send you copies and track every notice. Each month we check on your case and tell you what has moved.

  5. Step 5: Interview, hearing and what's next

    We prepare you, go with you and explain the decision. Then we tell you when the next step opens.

Your part

Your part is small, and it matters

Most of the work is ours. A few things only you can do.

Keep every letter from the government, even the ones that look routine, and send us a photo the day it arrives. Tell us when you move, change jobs or plan to travel. And call before you sign anything someone else offers to fill out for you.

Tell us what's happening and which language you'd like. We'll find you a time.
