Initial Consultation

We do not handle employer based petitions/renewals or any Temporary Visas such as Student Visas or Travel Visas.

ODIS provides services only for family based permanent immigrant petitions and applications, with the exceptions of renewal of green cards, researching old temporary residents and finding their applications or petitions from long ago, or for those who never received their cards. We also provide assistance with SELF PETITIONS which consist of VAWA (Violence against Women Act).

In order to determine your eligibility and qualifications, a counselor must go over your situation. Opening Doors Immigration Services does not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in selection of cases we accept. Participants are selected by eligibility of USCIS benefits, and if they qualify for family legal immigration services offered by ODIS. When you come to the office, you will first be asked to fill out some information forms. All information is completely confidential. There is a consultation fee; see "Fees." ODIS office visits can be paid with a personal check or cash and is to be paid prior to receiving a consultation with a counselor. We consider each client to be a partner in completing their case. We provide our legal knowledge of immigration laws and procedures while you provide us with your history and locate and copy all documents needed.
