The Process

How It Works

Five simple steps from secure online intake to a completed, mail-ready USCIS application packet.

01
📋

Complete Secure Online Intake

Fill out our confidential online intake form. It takes about 10 minutes and covers the basic details about your case, immigration history, and the type of form you need. All information is submitted over an encrypted connection.

🔒 No account required. Your data is encrypted and handled confidentially.

02
📤

Upload Supporting Documents

After intake, securely upload your supporting documents (ID, prior immigration documents, financial records, etc.) through our encrypted client portal. Your case specialist will review everything for completeness before preparing your forms.

03
📄

We Prepare Your Forms

Our document preparation specialists accurately prepare your USCIS forms based on your intake information and uploaded documents. Forms are typically prepared within 5–10 business days. You will be notified when your packet is ready for review.

⚠️ We prepare your forms based on the information you provide. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice.

04
✍️

You Review & Sign

Review your completed form packet thoroughly. Compare every answer against your original documents. If any corrections are needed, request changes before signing. Once satisfied, sign all required fields as indicated in your packet.

📋 Always review your forms carefully — you are responsible for the accuracy of your USCIS submission.

05
📬

Mail to USCIS

Print your completed packet and mail it directly to the correct USCIS filing address, which is included in your packet instructions. Pay the applicable USCIS government filing fee directly to USCIS by check or money order as instructed.

💰 USCIS government filing fees are paid directly to USCIS — separate from our preparation fee.

💼

Optional: Attorney Consultation Add-On

Add an independent licensed immigration attorney consultation for case review, risk identification, and strategy advice before you mail your application. Attorneys are independent professionals — not employees of ImmigrationSmile.com.
