In broad terms, there are four key steps to the visa application process. Indeed, regardless of what type of visa you apply for, your application will proceed in the following manner:
Step 1: File Your Petition
First, you will need to file a petition with your U.S. sponsor. This petition must be filed with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). You will not be able to file the actual visa application until this petition is accepted and approved by USCIS.
Step 2: Select Your Agent
Next, you will need to pay your application fees and choose an agent. Your agent is simply your official representative; the person you select will receive all of the correspondence in your case. You can serve as your own agent, though it is generally best to appoint your Bridgeport visa lawyer as your agent.
Step 3: Submit Your application
Your case will then move onto the actual application. This is by far the most important step of the process. Your visa application must be filled out correctly, without any omissions. Additionally, you must be sure that you have included copies of all relevant documents and records. A simple mistake in your application could lead to a lengthy delay or even a denial.
Step 4: Prepare for an interview
Lastly, before your visa will be approved and issued, you must go through an official interview. Please do not take the interview lightly; it is extremely important. To ensure that your rights are fully protected, it is best to bring your immigration attorney with you to your interview.

Kevin Raica literally saved my life. He helped me out of a dangerous situation that my previous attorney had put me in. After 17 years without status and 6.5 years of working with my previous attorney, I had experienced so many denials that I had completely lost hope. When I met Kevin, everything changed. He genuinely cared about my situation and gave me hope when I couldn’t see any for…

I would like to sincerely thank Attorney Justin Burton and PL Kamila Lada for support with my adjustment of status case.

We have been in the dark with our case for over 2 decades, while working with other big firms who just kept me in the dark and sat on our case without making any effort to move it forward until I met the wonderful team at Kriezelman & Burton. AO and JP are truly God-sent angels who with their knowledge, collaboration, sense of direction and outside the box thinking, managed…
Brittni Rivera and her team (Carina Lopez) are fantastic! They are responsive, efficient and beyond compassionate. Brittni Rivera and her team treated me with dignity and respect as they patiently answered all of my questions. They didn't move on without making sure I understood each step.

I decided to use the services of Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, and Kevin was nothing short of professional and amazing. From the consultation to the final approval, he gave us confidence and reassurance throughout the entire process. When I first told him about my wife’s wish to change her status, the first thing he said was, “We will get it done.” Even during the USCIS pause, he continued to…
Our experience with the firm was extraordinary. We worked with attorney Andrea Ochoa. Since the very first meeting we met, Andrea gave us all the confidence to proceed with our case. She always answered our questions shortly and offered clear guidelines to proceed. When my son's case received a notice of intent to deny, she planned how to fight that decision effectively. We totally recommend everyone to trust their case…
