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 11/07/2025 On Oct. 30, 2025, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland issued an order in Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project v. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, et al., SAG-25-03299 (D. Md.), temporarily staying the Annual Asylum Fee (AAF) implementation provisions by USCIS as provided in the notice titled “USCIS Immigration Fees Required by HR-1 Reconciliation Bill” and published in the Federal Register ( 90 FR 34511 (FRN )) on July 22, 2025. USCIS strongly disagrees with the Court’s order but will follow its terms pending possible further judicial review. The FRN provided information about how DHS would effectuate the mandatory AAF for fiscal year 2025 and subsequent years. It specified that any alien who had a Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal , pending during the entire fiscal year 2025 would be subject to the fiscal year 2025 fee. Additionally, aliens with asylum applications filed after Oct. 1, 2024 that remain pending with USCIS for 365 days must pay the AAF as of the one-year anniversary of his or her filing date and each calendar year thereafter that the application remains pending. The FRN also provided that USCIS will directly notify aliens that an AAF is due, when it is due, and how it is paid. The fiscal year 2025 fee is not due until a notice has been sent. It further stated that USCIS will provide guidance for future years’ AAF payments in subsequent issuances. As provided in the FRN, on or around Oct. 1, 2025, USCIS began issuing personal notices to aliens that their AAF was due. In accordance with the Oct. 30, 2025 order, USCIS has paused the issuance of AAF notices. Any applicant who has received a notice from USCIS instructing him or her to pay the AAF may disregard that notice while the temporary stay is in place. USCIS will not refund previously paid annual asylum fees, and applicants who paid the fee should retain their receipts. USCIS will issue updated instructions on payment of the AAF pending further litigation developments. https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/c  ourt-order-on-annual-asylum-fee-notices Last Reviewed/Updated: 11/07/2025

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 .
