VISA SERVICE

First we would like to thank you for considering A Foreign Affair and the Law offices of Maria V. Jones for your Fiancee Visa processing needs. Due to our years of experience working with couples going through the Fiancee visa process we realize just how important this is to the both of you. We also know that you want the process to go as quickly and smoothly as possible. That is why A Foreign Affair has teamed up with Maria V. Jones, to offer you the most professional, and fastest service available anywhere.

We have developed three level of services from which you can choose. Regardless of which level you choose rest assured you will always receive fast, professional, and courteous service, that is our pledge to you.

The Basic service is what most Immigration attorneys provide to their clients. The Basic service focuses on YOU (a Petitioner) and assists YOU in submitting your package to the USCIS for approval. THE BASIC SERVICE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:

Initial Telephone Or In Person Consultation With The Attorney.
During the consultation the attorney will ask a series of questions about yourself as well as your Fiancee to gain a better understating of the case. The interview will allow the attorney to recognize and address any possible problems or unusual circumstances that may require special attention. It is our goal to recognize and deal with any problems prior to submitting the case so that the petition can be approved in the shortest time possible.

The Fiancee Visa Packet
You will receive a packet containing detailed instructions as to what documents and forms we will require in order to file your I-129F Petition. It will contain a detailed checklist so that you will be sure to supply us with everything we need the first time so there are no delays in filing your petition. The packet will save you weeks of trying to figure out what forms and supporting documentation you need to gather. Everything you will need in order to complete I-129F Petition will be detailed in the packet and the checklist! It is important that you read the packet, complete the checklist, and gather all the necessary documents and information for us to be able to serve you.

Preparation and Assembly of the I-129F Petition
Once we have received all the documents and information required from you, we will prepare the I-129F Petition. We will not submit an I-129F Petition until we are absolutely confident that there are no hidden pitfalls or problems that may cause the USCIS to "red flag" it and kick it out of the system. Our years of experience and knowledge of the system and the USCIS enable us to detect and solve any potential problems so that the petition that the USCIS receives is "clean" and will be processed in the fastest time possible. Once we are confident that the petition is ready for submission we will Express Mail it to you for your final signature. You will sign it as indicated by our instructions and place the petition in the enclosed self-addresses Express envelope back to our office. Once we receive the signed petition we will Express Mail it to the appropriate USCIS Service Center for processing.

Follow up once the Petition has been submitted:
We know this is an extremely important process for the both of you, which is why our job does not end with the submission of the packet. We will continue to monitor your petition until approval while your case is in the United States. We will keep you apprised of the progress as the petition advances. If the petition is not approved in a reasonable amount of time for the specific service center we will make inquires on your behalf as to the status of the petition. We are committed to getting you an approval in the shortest time possible. We will use all of our experience and knowledge in order to ensure that we do receive the Approval Notice form the USCIS in the shortest time possible.

The Premium service includes everything you would normally receive in the Basic service, plus ongoing support for your Fiancee. Once the Basic Service is successfully concluded your petition will have been granted and the appropriate embassy will be alerted. At that point they will contact your Fiancee and send her a packet containing instructions and forms necessary to set the interview date. Your Fiancee will have to fill out the forms and collect the appropriate documents, including police reports, divorce certificates, etc. etc. and have them ready for the interview. She will also be given instructions as to where and when to undergo the required medical examination.

IN ADDITION TO ALL SERVICES IN THE BASIC PACKAGE, THE PREMIUM PACKAGE INCLUDES:

Phone consultation with Fiancee The attorney will call your Fiancee and conduct a phone consultation with her in her native language. During the phone consultation the attorney will explain the entire process to the Fiancee and answer any questions she has.

Embassy's packet for Fiancee The Embassy will mail the Fiancee a packet including certain forms that must be completed by the Fiancee. Our office will complete the forms for the Fiancee and mail them to her prior to her even receiving them from the Embassy. This will help to speed up the process so the interview can be scheduled as quickly as possible.

Embassy Communication If necessary, our office will handle all correspondence or telephone contact with the U.S. Embassy.

Fiancee Counseling Attorney Maria V. Jones has been through the visa process herself and knows first hand how nervous one can be about the interview and the entire process in general. The fact that some members of the U.S. Embassy tend to view some fiances with a skeptical eye, questioning their true motives, does not help. Our staff will call the Fiancee and review, in depth, all the paper work and supporting documentation as well as exactly what will take place at the interview so the Fiancee knows what to expect and will feel more at ease.

Assistance in the Embassy City We will have our staff meet with your Fiancee in the Embassy city (Moscow or Kiev) and assist your Fiancee through the remainder of the process. If your Fiancee does not live in the Embassy city we can assist with making arrangements for travel and lodging. One of our staff will also meet personally with the Fiancee and go over her paperwork and discuss what will take place at the interview one final time. We will also assist with making sure that the Fiancee has no problem competing the medical examinations.

It is our goal to be sure that all the paper work and supporting documents are in proper order, and that your Fiancee is relaxed and confident for the interview.

The Fiancee only service is meant for those who have already had their petition approved and wish to use the Embassy or Fiancee services only. This service includes everything the Premium Service includes less the Basic Service features.
