Forms we assist with...
​​
TPS (Temporary Protected Status)

• The Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), is used by eligible individuals to apply for TPS if they are nationals of designated countries or stateless individuals who last habitually resided in a designated country. This status provides temporary protection from removal and authorization to work in the United States due to unsafe conditions in their home countries.

How a Notary Helps with Form I-9

Although completing Form I-9 does not require notarization, a notary public can assist employers by acting as an authorized representative. In this capacity, the notary can:

• Verify the employee's identity and work authorization documents.

• Accurately complete Section 2 of the Form I-9 on behalf of the employer.

• Provide a neutral and professional service to ensure compliance with federal requirements.

Petition for Alien Relative I-130 

The Petition for Alien Relative (Form I-130) is a United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) form used by U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to establish a qualifying family relationship with a foreign national relative. Filing this form is the first step in helping eligible family members immigrate to the United States and obtain lawful permanent residence (a Green Card).

The petitioner must provide evidence of the familial relationship, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and other supporting documents, and submit the form along with the required filing fee. Approval of the I-130 petition does not grant a visa or Green Card but confirms the eligibility of the relative to apply for one, depending on visa availability and processing timelines.

K-1 Non-immigrant Fiancée Visa (I-129F)

The K-1 Non-Immigrant Fiancé(e) Visa (I-129F) allows a U.S. citizen to bring their foreign fiancé(e) to the United States for the purpose of marriage. The petition, filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), establishes the relationship and intent to marry within 90 days of the fiancé(e)’s arrival.

Key requirements include:

• Proof of a genuine relationship and intent to marry.

• Both parties must be legally free to marry and have met in person at least once within the past two years (with some exceptions).

• Submission of Form I-129F, supporting evidence, and required fees.

Once approved, the foreign fiancé(e) applies for the K-1 visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate. Upon entering the U.S. and marrying the petitioner, the fiancé(e) may apply for adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident.

This visa is a step toward reuniting couples and starting a life together in the United States.

​
Application for Travel Document I-131

The Application for Travel Document (Form I-131) is submitted to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to request a travel document. This document allows individuals who are in the U.S. to re-enter the country after traveling abroad or to travel while their immigration status is pending.

Form I-131 can be used for different purposes, including:

• Re-entry Permit: For lawful permanent residents (green card holders) who wish to travel outside the U.S. for an extended period and return without losing their status.

• Refugee Travel Document: For individuals who have refugee or asylum status and wish to travel outside the U.S.

• Advance Parole: For individuals with pending immigration applications (such as adjustment of status or asylum) who need to travel outside the U.S. and return without jeopardizing their application.

Submitting Form I-131 is essential for those needing authorization to travel while maintaining their legal status in the U.S
​
Application for Replacement/Initial Nonimmigrant Arrival-Departure Document I-102

Form I-102 is used by nonimmigrants who need to apply for a replacement or initial arrival-departure record, commonly referred to as Form I-94. This document is issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to record an individual's arrival and departure from the United States.

The form is typically filed by individuals who have lost their I-94, need to correct information, or are applying for an initial I-94 after entering the U.S. in nonimmigrant status. This application is processed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Applicants will need to provide supporting documentation, including proof of identity and immigration status, to process their request.

Request for Fee Waiver I-912

The Request for Fee Waiver (Form I-912) allows applicants to request a waiver of certain USCIS application or petition fees based on financial hardship. This form is typically used by individuals who cannot afford the required fees for filing immigration-related forms.

Forms Eligible for Fee Waiver:

• Form I-90 (Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card)

• Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative)

• Form I-485 (Application to Adjust Status)

• Form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization)

• Form N-400 (Application for Naturalization), among others

To apply, applicants must submit the I-912 along with their petition or application, along with supporting documentation that demonstrates their eligibility for a fee waiver based on income, receipt of means-tested benefits, or other criteria set by USCIS.

 
Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status I-485

The Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (Form I-485) is filed with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) by individuals seeking to become lawful permanent residents (green card holders) while remaining in the United States. This form is typically used by individuals who are already in the U.S. and are eligible to adjust their status to permanent resident.

Concurrent Filing:
Form I-485 can be filed concurrently with other forms depending on the applicant’s situation, including:

• Form I-130: Petition for Alien Relative (if applying based on family sponsorship).

• Form I-765: Application for Employment Authorization (to work while waiting for a decision).

• Form I-131: Application for Travel Document (to request advance parole to travel while your I-485 is pending).

• Form I-864: Affidavit of Support (if required, to demonstrate the financial support of a sponsor).

Concurrent filing allows applicants to submit these forms together, streamlining the process for those eligible to adjust their status in a more efficient manner.

I-765, Application for Employment Authorization 
Certain foreign nationals who are in the United States may file this form to request employment authorization and an Employment Authorization Document (EAD).  Other foreign nationals whose immigration status authorizes them to work in the United States without restrictions may also use Form I-765 to apply to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for an EAD that shows such authorization.
