WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Testimonials

It has been quite a while of waiting time (17 months) to get my wife’s legal residential visa. I am incredibly grateful to your firm for the job done on the task already accomplished. Alejandra has been a very helpful person to complete said task. She was always on the outlook of our needs and the documents to be sent to Immigration, NVC and the consul in Guayaquil. I will recommend your firm and Alejandra to others in need of achieving their residence in good United States of America.


Raul “Raulo” Arrarte Moreyra

I have been in Mr. Walters' law office on more than one occasion concerning my wife's immigration matters. Most recently, I was assisted by the excellent Senior Paralegal Mr. Juan Carrillo. In one brief period and afternoon, Mr. Carrillo assisted my wife by applying for her Green Card. Two weeks later, I received a phone call from Mr. Carrillo. He had tracked the movement of the Green Card in the mail, and he announced the arrival of the Card on that afternoon. My wife and I have been pleased with the service of the Walters Law Office and Mr. Juan Carrillo.


John Striggles [Cortney JHS]

I gladly recommend Attorney David E. Walters and his great team of professionals who helped us with the legalization process for both my daughter and mine; since with their vast experience they were able to successfully conclude our legalization process

Release Date 10/28/2025 WASHINGTON — As previously announced , on Oct. 28, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will only accept electronic payments for paper-filed forms. Payments may be made either via credit card or debit card using Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions , or ACH debit transactions from a U.S. bank account using Form G-1650, Authorization for ACH transactions . By requiring electronic payment, USCIS eliminates the need for benefit requestors and third-party payors to bring funds into field offices. This practice also complies with the transition to government-wide electronic payments required by Executive Order 14247, Modernizing Payments To and From America’s Bank Account. “Modernizing financial transactions to and from the federal government is a priority for the Trump administration,” said USCIS Spokesman Matthew Tragesser. “Over 90% of our payments come from checks and money orders, causing processing delays and increasing the risk of fraud and lost payments. This is a no-brainer move.” USCIS continues to accept online payments for forms filed online. USCIS encourages benefit requestors and their accredited representatives to use their USCIS account to file online through the guided process or the electronic PDF intake process, if either of these filing options is available for their form type. Benefit requestors and accredited representatives filing online have access to helpful instructions and tips on completing their forms. They can also pay their fees online using the secure pay.gov platform. In limited instances, benefit requestors and third-party payors may be exempt from submitting electronic payments with their application, petition, or request. See Form G-1651, Exemption for Paper Fee Payment , for a list of exemptions.

Release Date 10/15/2025 The Department of Homeland Security is publishing a Federal Register notice to implement a new immigration parole fee required by the H.R. 1 Reconciliation Bill. The fee is $1,000 for FY 2025 and is subject to annual adjustments for inflation. You must pay this fee when you are paroled into the United States, unless you qualify for an exception. Our critical work does not stop during the Democrats’ government shutdown. We remain steadfast in protecting our homeland by upholding lawful immigration. The Federal Register notice explains when the immigration parole fee takes effect, exceptions to the fee, and consequences if you do not pay. USCIS will collect the immigration parole fee if you are physically present in the United States and we are granting you parole or a new period of parole (also known as re-parole). Beginning on Oct. 16, 2025, if we determine that we can approve your request for parole or re-parole and that it requires payment of the immigration parole fee, we will notify you that you must pay this fee before we can approve your request. The notice will have payment instructions and a deadline. We will not grant parole unless you pay the immigration parole fee as instructed and within the specified time period. Do not pay the immigration parole fee when you submit Form I-131, Application for Travel Documents, Parole Documents, and Arrival/Departure Records . The immigration parole fee will be collected when you are paroled into the United States. For more information about when Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement will collect the immigration parole fee, see the Federal Register notice .

ALERT: On Oct. 1, 2025, we began sending notices to all aliens with a pending Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, who are required to pay the new Annual Asylum Fee (AAF). We also sent notices to any representatives of these aliens listed on Form G-28. If you have a pending Form I-589, Public Law 119-21 (P.L. 119-21) requires you to pay an AAF of $100 for each calendar year your application is pending, in addition to any other fee. You cannot get a waiver for the AAF. If you receive a notice, you should pay the fee within 30 days. If you do not pay this fee, it may negatively affect your application, including, but not limited to, a delay in processing. You must pay this fee online at https://my.uscis.gov/accounts/annual-asylum-fee/start/overview . You will need your Alien Registration Number (A-Number) and the Receipt Number at the top of your notice to pay the fee.
