PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL LEGAL SERVICES TO IMMIGRANTS

The Law Offices of McHenry & Associates is a San Diego based Immigration Law Firm dedicated to offering exceptional legal services in all matters related to U.S. Immigration Law.  Immigration Law can be highly complex and is ever-changing.  McHenry & Associates’ law practice is limited exclusively to U.S. Immigration Law in order to provide our clients with the most competent legal representation possible.

Why choose McHenry & Associates?  The answer is our commitment, communication and competence.  

Commitment: We care about what happens to our clients.  We will not take your case unless we genuinely believe we can succeed in achieving your goals.  We don’t believe in providing clients false hope for the sake of profit.  For that reason, we do not accept every immigration case.  If we can assist you, we will.  If we cannot assist you we will also let you know or we may suggest other resources.         

Communication: No matter how remarkable an attorney may be – or any other professional for that matter – it will not help you if you do not feel comfortable speaking to him or her.  We believe that communication is the key to success.  We pride ourselves on clear, straight-forward and effective communication.  From your initial consultation to the completion of your case, your immigration attorney will ensure that you fully understand all aspects of your case.

Competence: Even the simplest immigration matters can have serious immigration consequences if handled improperly.  Your decision in choosing an immigration lawyer is a crucial one.  Since immigration law is so complex, it makes sense to choose a law firm that limits their practice to immigration law.  Unfortunately, many clients are forced to hire immigration attorneys as a result of USCIS application failures, denials and other problems that occurred from clients trying to do it themselves.  It is always best to consult a licensed attorney that specializes in immigration law before proceeding on your own with any immigration related matter.

USCIS Adjusting Premium Processing Fee

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today it is adjusting the premium processing fee for Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker and Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers beginning on Oct. 1, 2018 to more effectively adjudicate petitions and maintain effective service to petitioners.

The premium processing fee will increase to $1,410, a 14.92 percent increase (after rounding) from the current fee of $1,225. This increase, which is done in accordance with the Immigration and Nationality Act, represents the percentage change in inflation since the fee was last increased in 2010 based on the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers.

“Because premium processing fees have not been adjusted since 2010, our ability to improve the adjudications and service processes for all petitioners has been hindered as we’ve experienced significantly higher demand for immigration benefits. Ultimately, adjusting the premium processing fee will allow us to continue making necessary investments in staff and technology to administer various immigration benefit requests more effectively and efficiently,” said Chief Financial Officer Joseph Moore. “USCIS will continue adjudicating all petitions on a case-by-case basis to determine if they meet all standards required under applicable law, policies, and regulations.”

Premium processing is an optional service that is currently authorized for certain petitioners filing Forms I-129 or I-140. The system allows petitioners to request 15-day processing of certain employment-based immigration benefit requests if they pay an extra fee. The premium processing fee is paid in addition to the base filing fee and any other applicable fees, which cannot be waived.
